IVY SAEBENS AT CALDWELL NIGHT RODEO
All four previous times that Saebens has qualified and ran at the NFR it has been on JLo. The duo has become a fan favorite. JLo has been the Reserve Horse of the Year twice and another horse Saebens has brought through the Pro Rodeos has been Tibbie. Tibbie was the 2016 Horse of the Year.
In 2019, Saebens finished the Reserve Champion of the World and the Average Champion after placing in eight of ten rounds. Coming back at the Thomas and Mack, you can bet Saebens and JLo will be climbing to the top.
