It’s been a long while since I’ve update on OTRR, but to be quite honest barrel racing hasn’t been on the agenda a whole lot this winter! I sold BLY Valiance Hooker last fall and I look for her to have a successful career with her new owner. Here is the reality and truth of [...]

We loaded up and headed out to my first rodeo back in a LOOONNGGG time! This was a bulls and barrels at a local county fair. No big deal, but it was my horse’s first rodeo. I was running Freckles, my boyfriend’s horse. I have made a handful of runs on him, but he’s a [...]

When your horse starts giving you problems, is there one person in particular that you may call on to bounce ideas off of or help you fix the issue? Tell us about them! Me and my friend Lindsey Hostetler talk to each other a lot about our runs. We critique each other and give ideas [...]

Mental toughness is a big part of barrel racing. Everybody has down days and bad runs. How do you keep yourself mentally tough? Some athletes have a phrase or a saying that they continually say in their head that keeps them focused, what is your secret?
I think one of the biggest things is KNOWING you’ve [...]

Ashley, how early do you like to get to a rodeo?
I like to get there at least 2 hours early, sometimes earlier. I think it’s very important for my horse to get out and stretch his legs, maybe take a nap, have a bite to eat and get used to the surroundings. Depending on where [...]

I entered Richmond, KY PRCA rodeo, which was basically right out my back door compared to most of the rodeos in the Great Lakes Circuit. It was only an hour and a half. I was riding another horse for a girl, so I decided to throw her in the trailer to see the sights along [...]

Ashley Whyland on Luther
Lets talk about Luther for a second, tell me how you came to get Luther?
I wanted a barrel horse, but I knew nothing about them honestly. Some friends of mine had a horse I was going to buy and the weekend I was going to pick him up, he coliced and [...]

St. Charles, MO is right outside of St. Louis, MO. I hauled there with 3 other girls. I always check the weather before I head out, even though it’s bright and sunny where you’re at, doesn’t mean it’s going to be that way where you’re going. Clear skies and cold all weekend, it was the [...]
Ashley Whyland: Greensburg Rodeo or was it a Horse Race?
Posted in Ashley Whyland, Past Rodeo Experiences on February 26, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Mud and trashy ground was Luther’s specialty. No matter what, I knew he would stand up, turn tight and run hard in it. We arrived at Greensburg, IN after a whole day of raining. And once I saw the backhoe dragging the slop out of the arena and into a big pile, I wondered if [...]
