Tell me in the comments whether you think it’s cheaper to be a barrel racer or a breakaway roper in 2025.

🌟 Putting in the miles with my 3-year-old has been a whole lot easier thanks to the 2X Cool Cinch from Professional’s Choice. This cinch is designed for performance and comfort — it stays cool even in the 🔥 Texas summers and is a perfect fit for goat tying because it doesn’t slip or allow the saddle to roll.

I’m proud to partner with brands that keep both horse and rider performing their best.

Horsemanship is the foundation of every other event and an excellent investment in your kids or yourself.

If you’re parent of a horse kid, this is a must read.

At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter how “good” your kid can ride around the backyard or how many jackpots they’ve entered on their own — skipping out on real riding lessons is doing them a huge disservice. The barrel horse industry is competitive, humbling, and unforgiving if you don’t have the right foundation. Lessons aren’t just about fixing hands or sitting pretty in the saddle — they teach timing, feel, and horsemanship that separates someone who can get by from someone who can actually excel.

I see so many parents think their child doesn’t need help because “they’ve got it figured out” — but the truth is, nobody outgrows learning. Even the top riders in the world still have coaches and trainers helping them sharpen their skills. If you’re not giving your kid access to that kind of growth, you’re basically setting a ceiling on what they can accomplish.

This sport is too tough, too expensive, and too dangerous to leave them out there guessing. Invest in their lessons. Give them the tools to succeed, and don’t let your pride — or theirs — hold them back from becoming the rider they’re meant to be.

Happy National Day of the Cowgirl!

Today we honor the cowgirls of the past, present, and future—the trailblazers who paved the way, the women riding strong and breaking barriers today, and the young girls who are learning the values of grit, grace, and determination that will carry the tradition forward.

From dusty arenas and ranches to classrooms, clinics, and championships, the cowgirl spirit represents courage, independence, and perseverance.

Here’s to the women who have inspired us, the ones who continue to push boundaries, and the next generation who will carry on the legacy with pride.

✨ Here’s to the Cowgirls—past, present, and future! ✨
