Little change of pace from the reining pen to the rodeo arena

Chica went to Sundre for some real world exposure and she never missed a beat!

This mare has come leaps and bounds, the confidence she has makes me so proud.

It’s an honour to be partners with such an incredible mare, earning my first buckle in the reining pen and adding almost $300 to her LTE!

Every c**t starter needs a Phil

Wallace is prepping to learn to tie, before we start at a solid tie station, I want to make sure he understands to move forward off poll pressure.
Using his paddock buddy Super Phil to pony him in a controlled situation will help Wallace build confidence and stay safe!

Super Phil is worth his weight in gold ✨
