I fell off of a horse a couple weeks before my first rodeo. I bought a necklace at the rodeo and haven’t taken it off. I haven’t fell off my horse since.

I had a special blue and rust plaid pad given to me as Valentine’s Day gift from my sweetheart. He
also gave me my horse the September prior as the best birthday present ever! I never rode my horse without this special pad. It also was never used on any other horse.

When I showed western pleasure I carried a small piece of leather from my aunts show saddle. She was very good at western pleasure, breaking/training (especally problem horses and horses at any age), and riding in general. My aunt was everything to me, she had me on a horse before i could even walk. I learned so much from her and i really looked up to her. In August, 1993, cancer took my aunt to heaven. She was my best friend, and hero. I <3 & Miss You <3

When I used to show horses I made it a point to have the number 13.

When I rodeo I keep a lock of my old horse’s hair in my shirt pocket so he can ride along and give me good luck.

I have a black long sleeve shirt from freedom for wild horses that I always feel best in for riding. I also won’t eat anything starting from about 45 minutes before I tack up, I find everytime I do I’ll need to hop off or can’t wait to untack to use the bathroom…
I also tell the horse Im riding that if they’re good they’ll get lots of treats, not sure why it’s just something I’ve always done and probably always will even though the horse gets lots of treats no matter what lol

A common superstition is to throw salt over your left shoulder – but I still have yet to see an equestrian haul a fifty pound salt lick over their shoulder!!!!
