After a many conversations and months of back-and-forth, we have officially decided to put an end to the WSBRI and the Upper Left Barrel Racing Podcast. 

This was a very difficult decision, and we are sad to see this era end, but we are as excited as ever for the future of Northwest barrel racing! Tune in to hear why we made this decision, as well as a few final thoughts from the founders, Linzie and Kayli.

Let's talk futurities! 
We are coming up on that famous day, November 15th, that futurity trainers and fans alike look forward to every single year. So, we thought, why not discuss all things futurity training and entering?
We cover everything from the basic how-to to the more advanced training, tips, and tricks that we have learned. If you are curious about this side of the industry, or you just want to hangout with us and talk horses for a bit, this is a great episode for you!

There's no denying that Rachelle Riggers and her two geldings, Mighty and Magic,  are up-and-coming stars in the rodeo world. Coming in at number 26 in the WPRA World Standings this year, they have made their mark against some really tough competition at multiple top-notch rodeos! 
We got the pleasure of chatting about her life on the road, working remotely while she travels, and the peaks and valleys of being a professional barrel racer trying to make it to the Finals. 

If you have big dreams like Rachelle does, we highly recommend giving this one a listen!
