I am 38yrs old and have been riding all my life, I grew up riding performance and then switched to barrel racing and pole bending! I am a member of NBHA and I won the 1D saddle in 08!! I was very proud of my mare because this was her 1st year barrel racing and we kicked butt!! I'm now racing a 12yr old palomino gelding that I got as a 2yr old. He has proving  himself quite well many times holding multiple records! We won 3 saddles in 2013 and at least 2 a year since then!
