The results are in … advanced trainer Payton Bladow placed in the top 25 for WCBRA Year End standings! 🥳🩵🤠 This is a huge honor, as each point towards the standings is a dollar earned, with the prize being a coveted leather jacket! While Payton rode many different horses throughout the course of the season, one horse in particular “TM Goodbye Merri” scored her most of the points! Thank you Maxine for the ride🩵

Another awesome barrel practice is in the books! We prepared for West Coast Finals mentally and physically 💪 A huge part of the PB program is getting mentally tough. 90% of barrel racing is controlling your mental game! How are you preparing for your next competition? 🤠

First gymkhana at El Rodeo is in the books! 🥳🩵
Our team showed up with three girls competing in all the events and three girls in barrels! Extremely proud of our first time competitors: Bella (17 & under barrels), Charlie (novice all events), and Val (18 & over barrels). Val even placed 2nd place in the 18 & over! 🤠 So proud of all of our girls!
Huge thank you to our awesome group of volunteers that helped work the gate, set patterns, and work the announcers booth. We appreciate all of you so much!
Big thank you to Camila and Laura for putting on such a great event! Looking forward to the next one!💃

Another amazing barrel practice in the books! All of our lessons are one-on-one, so these barrel practices give us the opportunity to incorporate collaboration and feedback from our peers into our curriculum. We had so much fun this morning and are looking forward to our next one! 💪🩵🤠 📸 Julia Cappelli

Little late to the posting game, but still reeling over how awesome it was to get to compete in the Norco Horseweek Day of the Cowboy Rodeo this past weekend! To compete, you had to qualify during the Lunde Horseweek barrel race the Thursday before. This is the second year in a row we had two people qualify! Quinn and Katniss made a smoking run to barely miss the buckle by .01 of a second! 🔥 Jack ran in his first performance ever and handled everything with class!! Thank you Savannah for letting me jockey your boy❤️ Thank you Kristy for hauling both of us and helping me in the VIP section 🤪 Thank you to the Lunde’s for always putting on such a great race! So happy with these horses. Onto the next one!

It’s a good week to be a Cash Kid!!!! Two for two this week for Team PB Performance Horses🎉 Congratulations to Ivy and Maverick for winning their first jackpot together last night in Norco!!! Selling horses is so tough, but when they get good homes like this who take your advice, ride with you to learn how to maintain their performance, and always put their wellbeing first, it feels rewarding like no other!! Here’s to many more wins, Ivy!!! 🥳 I can’t wait to watch you two kick ass at college rodeos next year and see more of your dreams come true!!! Thank you Maverick for being a true unicorn and taking care of your riders always🩵
