About Me
My name is Sam, I'm 18 and I've ridden horses since I was around 4 years old. I'm a barrel racer at heart, It's something that my whole family competes in. I compete in NBHA shows, starting this summer IBRA shows, along with some open shows and I do fair every year for fun. I started taking hunt seat and jumping lessons last year as something new to work with. I like jumping and riding english, but it comes second to barrel racing. Due to the fact that I have NBHA shows every weekend, or every other weekend I haven't really worked on jumping as much as I would have liked to. So one thing I can say is that me and my horse are deffinatly not jumping ahead of our skill level lol. Me and my mom currently have 5 horses and I ride 3 of the 5 plus another:
DayLate Patty Cake: is my 15 hh solid paint mare, she's 10 years old. she's my flashy little mare lol she makes sure she's noticed wherever we go. I've had her for 7 years, we've had plenty of ups and downs. She was a 2yr old when I bought her, my first "horse" that was actually mine. She's witchy and kinda crazy sometimes, but she's a big baby other times. She's my horse for keeps, she'll be around till the day she dies.
Black Ruby Moon: My 2 year old black filly. She has great bloodlines and is a very stout little filly. Very smart and hopefully will be my 1D horse and rodeo horse.
Shesa Red Toronando: my mom's 7 yr old 15.1hh QH mare, she's a sweet mare with good breeding and is completely laid back. anyone can ride her, even little kids that don't know much. My mom loves her, I don't get along with her lol. my mom bought her as a yearling, now she's nice barrel horse.
Gran Zans Eternal Jag: is a currently 15 hh 4 yr old bay filly, we've had her since birth and my mom claimed her. Shes a good baby and is built incrediably well, one day she'll be a barrel horse. right now though shes just being started on barrels.
Rocket: My mom's boyfriends gelding, he's a big sorrel gelding. 10 years old and a complete automatic barrel and pole horse. Perfect beginers horse.
