McKayla’s journey to NBHA Youth Worlds Championship 2020

Can y’all guess what came in the mail today? Super excited to see all the progress this young lady and Spanky make between now and July!!

After a very excited and enthusiastic YES when Madison asked if she wanted to try Barrel racing, McKalya climbed aboard Vegas, Annie’s boy for her very first lesson..... a week or so goes by and McKayla loped a pattern on horseback.... it was this that invoked her passion for barrel racing!! Time for the next step..... Rusty!! The resident babysitter, been there done that amazing horse!

It all began 2 years ago when we ventured into a change of barns for McKayla’s beloved horse, Hank. We were blessed to find BarnStar Stables as Hanks forever home. This move created not only a wonderful crew of barn friends but an extension of our family with the ladies who run BarnStar!! They welcomed McKayla into their family and took her to the dark side lol. ... One summer afternoon Madison suggested a Barrel Racing lesson and from there it was all over for the pleasure pen and Miss McKayla was hooked on Barrel Racing!! Thus being the very beginning of this journey.
