Dylan Barrell Racing

Dylan is a horse rider! She does horse shows from March until Sept. and has been doing it since she was 2. There are always photographers at the horse shows and this year we got a disc with all the pictures he took of her from the Lorena show. In the horse shows she competes in several different events which include Speed race, Straightaway Barrells, Goat Slapping (yes this is true), Pole Bending, Clover Leaf Barrells, Keyhole Race, and Flag Race. This year she placed 3rd in overall points because she had to miss a lot of races for 3 different weddings this summer. She won a belt buckle (her 3rd buckle), a hay holder for the trailer, a jacket, and a horse blanket for her pony, Starbaby. Here are just a few of the pics.

She's giving her tongue a good workout just like her daddy did :) Just click on the pic to enlarge it.

Just out of the gate.....this is the scariest part of it all. I almost pee myself EVERYTIME she comes out of the gate and starts kicking!!
