When I was in college my first year I was 5th at the national NIRA riding Fame
Gold Shy The next 2 years I rode Brandy Cat To reserve world champion both years
and also won the National Intercollegiate Rodeo Queen title.
After getting a couple of degrees I got married and moved to Texas. I bought
Iron Bird at the Houston Stock Show Sale as a yearling and he went on to be
Reserve world champion in barrels for the AQHA and 3rd in the poles. He also won
16 all around saddles. He has produced a lot of good horses but some that stand
out are Night Bird Sonata who was TQHA armature jumping champion ridden endowed
by Beth Hancock, Turn Em Tight Jessie who won a barrel racing futurity as well
as both the jr. poles and barrels at the Houston Stock Show for owner, rider
Robert Rodriguez, Wrangler Barry who was PRCA calf
roping horse of the year and ridden. by Roy Cooper, Jet To Texas owned and
ridden by Sally Burleson to the NBHA Senior Champion 1D at the Nationals in
Augusta and others.
Some other horses I have ridden and or sold were Hostess Jet who went on to win
the BFA horse of the year with Donnie Reece riding her. She was owned by Jimmie
Bowen Fun Jet who was bought and Ridden by Denise Adams won the Josey world and
was also owned by Jimmie Bowen before Denise bought her.
Lances Ugly Boy Owned and ridden by Brittany Posey won the National High School
Rodeo Championship this year as well as many other things.
My favorite barrel racer-Kelly Kaminsky Is my favorite barrel racer and a long
time friend. In a round about way because of this she has Rocky, her good barrel
horse. She was looking for a brood mare and a friend named David Bell was
selling out his running horses. We went over there and Kelly bought this mare
that was in foal with Rocky. They are currently in second place going into the
finals at Las Vegas in the WPRA.
