You wont want to miss this one, Josie Hales is so well spoken and covers so many  topics within our barrel horse industry. She gives us an inside look into their families management of  The Goodbye Lane , and how he originally became part of their family. You can immediately tell how much this horse means to them; we talk about the many ways he's impacted their lives throughout the years, whats coming, incentives, breeding, his babies, mares and sooo much more. There is no shortage of info, insight, and AMAZING stories in this episode. Thank you Josie!

 She is wise beyond her years and such a horsewoman with a huge LTE in multiple events ( and she’s only just getting started  ) Jennifer Neudorf qualified for her first Canadian Finals & Maple Leaf Circuit Finals Rodeo in the barrel racing in 2022, and had many big wins along the way!! We chat horses on the go , her gorgeous stallion ‘Chubs’ ( Shining in town ) , mindset , training program and sooo much more! We forgot to ask her about her blistering 16.9 she ran in Arizona this winter  on her horse “ Escalating,” but this is what she had to say when we asked her about it after“She was so fast and just kept moving, it didn’t feel like a run that was going to be that fast with the miss steps on third and first but she never hesitated anywhere and handled them great” 

Oh how time flies! get ready for a long overdue update episode on our lives, some ride tribe roasting, 2023 plans, and whats going on with our horses!
