🌟🌟Sponsored Rider Interview🌟🌟

“My name is Derica Stake…I’m too old to discuss my age🤣. I am from Greenup, Ky. My main horse is Tess. She’s a 8yr old mare. I didn’t start barrel racing until I 27 yrs old. I always watched as a child but never had the means to do it.”

“My biggest influence would probably have to be Emily Biesel. She’s so humble and caring. She’s loves her horses and just seems to be a genuine great person.”

What are your biggest achievements in barrel racing?

“I have been an American Qualifier and given how long it has taken me to figure this mare out that was pretty exciting! We have been Top 10 1D in IBRA, NBHA, BBR for the past couple years. We won the redemption round at NBHA Open Worlds, couple arena records…anything with this mare is an achievement 🥰”

What are your biggest goals for this season?

“I just want to continue to be able to do what I love. I want to keep my horse healthy and sound to be able to do this for the years to come! But we have some slot races to win in 2026!!”

It is a part of who I am and I wouldn’t trade this life for anything.”

Who is your biggest influence in barrel racing?

“I have a really hard time answering this question because so many people have influenced me in so many ways. My parents, friends and many people who have poured into me over the years. I honestly couldn’t name them all. But I do want to give an extra special shout out to Ken Baker for believing in me.”

What are your biggest achievements in barrel racing?

What are your biggest goals for this season?

“My biggest goals for this season are to enjoy it and consistently improve the quality of runs I make. Several big shows I have on the agenda are BBR Finals in Oklahoma, Virginia Barrel Classic, and lots and lots of rodeos. I’d really like to win a new buckle.”

Their names are Whiskey (11), Beau (10), Hades (4), Fury (1), and Star (10 months). I started riding when I was 11 but I didn’t start to compete until I was 13, competing in Western Pleasure and Hunter Under Saddle, where I won 3 State Championships.

I typically do not work during the week due to my full-time job from Monday to Thursday. However, upon reviewing the photographs of this mare, I realized that her condition necessitated immediate attention, and fortunately, I was able to intervene in a timely manner. This mare presented with a severely compromised dental condition, including polydontia, which resulted in the growth of supernumerary teeth in ectopic locations. The accompanying before-and-after photographs illustrate her condition. Although she is not yet restored to optimal dental health and will require several routine refloats to achieve dental wellness, she is now able to masticate without discomfort. Also, I have her reaching out to schedule her for dental radiographs to comprehensively assess the extent of her dental condition.

(This mare was just recently acquired and was just delievered to her farm on Tuesday! So this is not something that has been ignored by the current owners!!)
