Working the perfect circle on Cruze! Also teaching him the cutter spin. You can see how he softens up and steers better the more circles he does and when he does a good job we stop for a break. Having so much fun with him!

Cruze & Shiner today getting their work outs in. 💪 you'll see a lot of them on my page coming up! Both 6 year old team roping horses.

Shiner loping thru the barrels last night. I always told my husband I wanted a barrel horse that left a cloud of dirt into the first barrel... lol he wasn't soft coming into 2nd that was my bad I'm pretty rusty still. Same thing with 3rd but some day you have to quit picking on them and let them go so you can see where the problems are.

Shiner "Smart Shiner Bock" doing some work on the poles yesterday. He's seen them under 10 times. I trotted down because this horse thinks you need to go 100 mph everywhere you go.

More footage of Cruze from today. He hasn't been on the pattern much. Maybe 10 times. I think he'll finish out cool 😎

Have to document Cruze's first time seeing the poles!

(We walked and trotted thru before this) What I love about poles is it teaches the horses a lot of control at a high rate of speed and thinking literally every stride. Stay tuned to watch him get better! He has a super cool flying lead change.

I like to teach all the horses we have the poles. It helps so much with body control and will show a lot of holes in your training.

What are your 2026 Goals? I'm so excited this year because last year I was pregnant and my only goal was to not to die and have a healthy baby.

I've got some big goals for 2026. I'd really like to shift gears. I'll share a few of them 🙂

🐴We've been talking about breeding my main barrel horse, "Calla" aka Ms Fancy Footwork. 🤞 I'm going to give her the year off from barrels. I just don't feel like she's her happiest running them right now. If the breeding doesn't work out I thought about jumping her a little - just for fun.

🐴Get "Shiner" aka Smart Shiner Bock seasoned! Giving Calla the year off will give me time to focus on him on barrels. I'm so excited for him. He truly loves going fast. I'd also like to get confident roping on him.

🐴Go to less shows/ropings/rodeos & spend more time at home. We're going to try to only go a couple times a month to spend more time at home so we're not so frazzled like last year. Try the less is more approach.

🐴 Pay off more debt 🚫 💸

🐴 Lose my last 20 lbs of baby weight, which BTW is really hard. I used to be so strong, now I feel like I struggle from being exhausted + my body does not recover like it used to.

🐴 Slow Down & Spend more time with family. Realize I don't need to ride 6 head a day after working 10-12 hours outside. Get a schedule going to where I don't feel stressed and exhausted, which makes me feel like giving up on horses completely.

🐴 Get Cruze going on the barrels

Ventured out into the cold yesterday and spent more time roping! Can't beat roping in a t-shirt when its 10 degrees out. I always struggle roping here so it was good to get a catch. I am still out of time sitting after I throw 🙃 but I'm sure I'll get it back eventually

01/10/2026

Felt so good to be back in the roping pen today! 3.90

I'm excited about this catch even though my loop wasn't the best, because I've always struggled when they get way out in front of me like that.

Kota was feeling so good 🩷 they were fast runners and I didn't think I caught this one so I did the worst thing and didnt make him stop. I haven't roped since September so it's definitely been awhile.

Merry Christmas 🎄
