– When did you start Marsha on barrels?\u00a0<\/span>
\nMarsha was started on barrels as a 4 year old in the spring of 2014.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

-What is the training background on this horse?<\/span>
\nLarry King put 30 days on\u00a0her as a 3 year old\u00a0and\u00a0then Brook Robertson took her and\u00a0started her on barrels as a 4\u00a0year old they both did an amazing job Marsha was definitely started right. When I got her back she was loping a nice pattern I took her to her very first jackpot March 25th 2015 and she handled it amazing, by her 2nd jackpot she was picking up gears.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

– How would you describe this horse’s running style?<\/span>
\nMarsha has a unique style I would describe it as very catty.<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
-What is it you like best about her?<\/span>
\nWhere can I even begin I love everything about\u00a0Marsha her quirky and gritty\u00a0personality to her beautiful color,\u00a0but what I really love about her is\u00a0she gives me 110% every time we are in that barrel pen.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n

 <\/p>\n

What made this winning run so fast?<\/span><\/div>\n
\n

\u00a0I was completely in the zone and I rode her to the best of my ability, I was a confident leader and she took me exactly where I wanted to go!<\/p>\n

Here’s Jordie and Marsha’s run:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n-How do you prepare for your runs with Marsha (warm up etc.)?<\/span>
\nI like to take my time saddling so I can get mentally prepared\u00a0for my run\u00a0I\u00a0try to never rush.\u00a0 I do lots of long trotting to loosen her up and lope a few circles. I make sure she is responding, soft and supple.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
-What are your plans for next year with Marsha?<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Next year I want to get my amateur Rodeo cards make finals and win the finals and go on to get my Semi Pro card! I would also like to Derby Marsha next year lead the standings and make her Derby year\u00a0a success as well.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

-What kind of saddle, pad and bit do you use?<\/span>
\nI switch between a Tammy Fisher treeless and a Marlene McRae Carbon Fiber saddle, I prefer to use the Tammy Fisher treeless on her because as tiny as she is, she\u2019s a power house and the treeless helps me stay centered.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>I use a 5 star pad always, and\u00a0<\/span>Professional choice VenTECH Elite Sports boots.<\/span>\u00a0I use a Dee Butterfield Short Shank Chain Bit.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

– What kind of products, therapies and\/or supplements do you use to maintain your horse throughout the year?<\/span>
\nMarsha gets Hoffman\u2019s Horse Ration with Noni and Palladon mix into the ration.\u00a0 I give her Chill Calming Formula by omega alpha and Oxy 02 Lung Care Performance Paste before I run her.\u00a0Marsha gets body work done such as massages and thermal imaging, I use Back on Track Products.<\/span><\/p>\n

What was your goal and focus heading into this Futurity?<\/span>
\nMy goal heading in to this\u00a0Futurity, \u00a0was to win the Super Stakes\u00a0I stayed focused and I reached my goal its an amazing feeling!<\/span><\/p>\n

-If you were to share a barrel racing tip what would it be?<\/span>
\nBelieve in yourself. It so important to believe\u00a0in yourself!\u00a0Go out there confident and positive\u00a0and your horse will take you where you want to go!<\/span><\/p>\n
