BARREL RACING

Tonight, most of the barrel racer’s goals will be smooth, clean runs. One horse that showed she liked Austin was Emily Beisel’s Liza and she is a mare that only gets faster once she finds her stride in an arena.

Beutler and Son Rodeo’s Moody Muley is a bull that is rider friendly at times. Matt Palmer, Clayton Sellars, Fulton Rutland and Justin Houston have all covered the bull this 2024 season and JR Stratford could be next.
