Ride With Heart ❤️

I have been barrel racing since I was 8 years old and have spent more than 30 years professionally training, competing, coaching, and helping horses and riders reach their goals.

Since beginning my professional career in 1992 in Colorado and continuing in Florida since 2001, I have trained hundreds of horses and helped thousands of riders and horses through lessons, clinics, training, and online coaching.

🐴 FROM COMPETITOR TO FULL-TIME COACH

In 2020, I semi-retired from competition and outside-horse training to focus full-time on coaching, clinics, lessons, and online coaching.

My goal is to help each horse and rider become the best team they can be — whether you're chasing your first clean run, improving your confidence, or competing at the highest level.

❤️ RIDE WITH HEART

“Ride With Heart” is the motto of TLC Barrels.

To me, it means developing a horse with heart, confidence, and try — giving your best both inside and outside the arena and, above all, putting your horse first.

My program is built on:

❤️ Love for the horse
🤝 Trust & respect
🐴 Clear communication
🎯 Correct cues & understanding
🏆 Building confident horse-and-rider teams
