Clinic Drills and Wisdom At the Bowman Barrel Racing Clinic in March of 2024, we went through drills and had lots of chats with the attendees. In the playlist below, we focused on some key things such as Figure 8s, turn and look positioning, hollow backs, points in your turn, posting the trot, and a…
Talent is a 5yo mare by CM Nonstop Nitro. I love riding his babies! She needs a little help from me in helping her learn to be responsible for her shape and in learning true collection, not false collection. The owner had said she braces up in her turns. here’s why and here’s how we…

Thank you all so much for your support this year! I look forward to making 2024 the best year yet, and hope to see you down the road somewhere. As my gift to you, I’m making my Course on Lateral Work, FREE, until January 31. If you’re at an event and you see me, please…
It’s not a secret that I don’t, as a rule, drill my horses. I simply ride them. That’s not to say I don’t do things to help them get better. I certainly do, but I don’t approach a day with a mindset of -“here’s my agenda, we’re doing these drills today!” – because undoubtedly the…
I’ve often said that barrel pattern work really isn’t as much for the horse as it is for us. It’s for us to gain consistency in where we want their body, how we want them to turn, and more. Basically it’s drilling us for the consistency we desire in them; that’s the real goal. In…

Your clinic was so organized and I learned so much and enjoyed every moment of it! I would absolutely love to ride with you. In fact, it would be a dream to continue to learn from you.

I was given the opportunity to ride Bully for four glorious days. Four days of quality can do a lot to help a horse. Day one was NOT filmed, but in day two, I talk you through what we did work on. I wish now, I’d filmed day 1, but my phone was dead, and…
The First Barrel The first barrel in barrel racing, often referred to as the MONEY barrel, plays a pivotal role in determining the success and speed of your run. This barrel sets the foundation for a quick time on the clock or, conversely, it can lead to a less favorable outcome. By mastering your approach…
Once in a while I find myself being interviewed by a journalist. They must believe that I have something worthwhile to share with the world. I of course, would like to believe this is true! But, I’m not the one with my name currently in lights. I am however, in the trenches – grinding it…
It’s a common thing to do in training your horse – obsess about the things that aren’t working. But I’m here to tell you, there’s no need to do that. Training horses isn’t linear, like many clinicians would lead you to believe. It’s really more like a circle. It’s not always an “if then” statement….
Every horse regardless of their discipline, can benefit from lateral work. My answer when someone asks for “drills” is usually this: get them good laterally! Lateral work is the basis for everything we will ever need a horse to do. In other words, “Kindly, STEP AWAY FROM the barrels!’ All joking aside, teaching a horse…
There’s no such thing as a hot horse. But there are horses that don’t have any confidence in what we are asking them to do. Let me explain…While I do think there are horses that may be more active mentally and have more energy physically, it is our job as the rider to be aware…
One of the most commonly asked questions in the barrel racing groups that I frequent, is “How do I control my nerves”? Through the years of being a coach and helping students, as well as myself, I have learned a thing or two. I now, rarely struggle with my nerves. But when I do, I…
Merry Christmas friends and family! Thank you for all of your support this year — through attending my clinics, trusting us with your horse’s education, allowing us to market and sell your horses – all of it! We are so grateful for your business and look forward to making 2023 even better! With Love –…
There is more than one way to get the job done – almost always. Often we forget that we don’t need to obsess about how a horse isn’t understanding something, when we can easily be creative! Just do something other than the “one thing” that’s causing you grief in your training program and that “one…

My little red mare did just that in 2021 – Gave me two Tour Derby wins, and a BBR XTRA Tour Win – yeah, she won the whole thing! Which means an automatic bye into the BBR World Finals Short Round! 2021 was really good to us, and I look forward to having 3 derby…
Welcome to 2022! I’ve got a ton of valuable content planned! AND, there will be at least two clinics! One in Iowa and one here at the home ranch in South Dakota. I have dates for the clinics and will share that info in subsequent posts. I’ll also be taking a limited number of outside…
