Sydney's Story:  
Sydney had ridden on and off her whole
life, and spent lots of time at summer camp, but had never
run the barrels and wanted to rodeo. She came to me last
August (2006), and in October, I believe we found her a
horse (Flash) to teach her what she needed to know. She
came to lessons every week, went home and practiced what
we'd worked on that week. In March of this year she was
ready to step up to a higher caliber horse, so we purchased
Dude, Trained by Kristin Stewart out of Alvord, TX.  He is
really broke and exceptionally nice. He's a 1D caliber horse
and at first she was a bit intimidated by him, and a couple
steps behind, but she's been diligent in her practice with him,
and spent a lot of time aboard him this summer and in
August we'll haul his legs off and hopefully come home with
some money!  She has worked really hard, continues to work
hard, and I'm very proud of her.  

Sydney's First High School Rodeo at Saginaw: 17.444
Sydeney's Second High School Rodeo at Saginaw: 16.4 with a
plus five.
