Raylee on Henson at Falkland. Thanks to Abby MacNeish for the picture.<\/p><\/div>\n

This year the barrel racing at the Falkland, BC CPRA rodeo was won be Raylee Edwards.\u00a0 We recently had the chance to speak with Raylee after her big win.<\/p>\n

Here’s what she had to say:<\/p>\n

-What is the name of your horse? \u00a0Loves To Kid aka ‘Henson’<\/span>
\n-How old is he?\u00a0 He\u2019s 8 years old<\/span>
\n-How long have you been running barrels on this horse?\u00a0 I futuritied him as a four year old and then he has been used sparsely since then.<\/span>
\n-What kind of saddle do you use?\u00a0 I ride in a Raylee Racer, a saddle I designed with Frontier Western Shop in Claresholm, AB.<\/span>
\n-What kind of pad do you use?\u00a0 I use a plain felt pad, it’s a nice thickness and works well with my saddle.<\/span>
\n-What kind of bit do you use in this horse?\u00a0 I use a Jim Warner hackamore, it seems to be doing the trick right now. \u00a0He was being a little to bendy so I started using it to stiffen him up.<\/span>
\n-Is there any special shoes you use? What kind?\u00a0 I use aluminum racing plates from thoro’bred.<\/span>
\n-What type of feed do you feed your horse?\u00a0 I use a grass alfalfa mix hay and Tizwhiz grow-n-perform from UFA.<\/span><\/p>\n
