About Alice
(Top Expert on this page)

Expertise
I can answer questions regarding barrel racing, pole bending, gymkhana, and also breaking in horses and any "problem" issues. I also know a lot of horse behaviour and horsemanship and reining. I also know a lot about riding skills, do's and don'ts, and overall riding position. Also, I know a lot about bucking and rearing problems and much more!

Experience
I do quite a bit of barrel racing, overall. I also do my share of pole bending, and i have trained reining horses. I also do western pleasure classes and gymkhanas and I have also trained other people's horses. I also know a bit about English training, especially show jumping, since I have done a bit of that myself. But, including all this, I have only been around horses for not even four years, but I have done so many things already, including training, so don't let the few years bother you. I've been known to help many expierenced people.

Organizations
I belong in the MBRA (Manitoba Barrel Racing Association)

Education/Credentials
Been around horses for around 4 years, but would like to help more people and begin to explain about different things for different people.

Awards and Honors
I have received trophies for my barrel racing and once received a trophy and I was the youngest and least expierenced rider there. I have placed a lot in gymkhana's and pole bending and also in western and english classes.
