be aware of the beauty Mother Nature offers we if we take the time to look past our other (who was an amazing horse women) could get my hands on to further my knowledge.


Back in the day.... barrel and pole racing was life, for myself and my 3 daughters. Broke and trained our own horses. One of the most important things I learned in preparing for a big race was not to over practice a seasoned horse. They knew their job and didn’t need to be continually drilled. They day before a race would be oiling saddles, checking tack, groom- ing horse, making sure everything was packed and ready to go for the next day.


Camilla, being a rancher there are many competitive events, cutting, ranch sorting, roping. How someone should new to those competitions began to prepare? Would you explain each one, for our readers that may be new to those disciplines?


Do research on techniques of different riders. Attend barrel/ pole races and observe. If you’re able to attend clinics with your horse... do. If not you can google/YouTube questions you have.


When first starting in any equine speed event.... plan on not coming in first.... at first. Pattern your horse at a walk, then a trot... maybe a lope after you think your horse know what is expected from them. Never rush a horse. They can sour on a pattern before you even compete. Loping figure eights will sync you and your horse. If you enjoy trail riding, take your horse up and down steep hills to build muscle. On the trail practice your rollbacks, your pivots. Working in the are- na is important.... but working your horse out on the open trail will help to keep them from hating arena work. Happy horse, happy competitor. Long Trot your horse for 20 min- utes every other day to build muscle. Then ....For 15 minutes, on good ground, lope your horse, gradually increasing speed to strengthen their heart and lung. After their workout, give them time to walk, decompress, to enjoy being a horse.

I have taught western horsemanship at summer camps. (Brush ranch camp in NM was by far my favorite) I have worked at stables. Loved being a trail guide... I was pretty darn good at it. My first job at 14, was exercising race horses. Was born and raised in Sedona (my family always had horses) and was lucky enough to grow up riding in the red rock country in the 60s and 70s with my m? I have no formal training. I come from a long line of horsemen and women. Many of the horseman- ship techniques I have learned and passed down to my daughters and grandchil- dren were learned from my mother and grandfather. No googling things when I was younger... so I read every book and magazine I practice a seasoned horse. They knew their job and didn’t need to be continually drilled. They day before a race would be oiling saddles, checking tack, grooming horse, making sure everything was packed and ready to go for the next day. Might fit in a very easy relaxing ride...

Pushing 60 now and I enjoy the backcountry picnic type rides. I’ve enjoyed working with beginner children and teaching them not only skills, safety... but enjoying the freedom of riding in the hills. With my children and grandchildren I have taken our trail rides and used them not only to hone up on technique, to be prepared if your horse spooks... etc... I have used that time to teach them the names of different trees, bushes, rocks. To look for scat and determine what animal it came from. To
