Today on the money barrel we have a little bit of a different conversation for you. We have a Ruidoso Quarter Horse Racing Hall Of Fame Trainer - the 2X All American Futurity winner and the only Quarter Horse racing trainer to ever win the 5 richest quarter horse races in the country, John Bassett. John has trained some of the fastest and most famous race horses in the country and some great stallions that have made waves in our barrel racing industry, like the great Tres Seis. We talked about his program and how he built relationships with his horses and found a way through their quirks to help them win when it mattered most, we heard some great stories about the champions he had in his barn and that impacted his life the most and what he sees that correlates to barrel racing today.

Oceane Veilleux spent the 2024 rodeo season learning the ins and outs of being a WPRA professional barrel racer and when the dust settled - she is the 2024 WPRA Rookie of the Year! We always get requests to talk about how to start rodeoing, what the rookies have learned most, how they overcame the struggles of going down the road the first time, and we covered all of the topics in this podcast. From horse injuries, new arenas, big wins and learning how to stay mentally tough on the road - Oceane gave us some insight to her journey.

This topic has been a goal of ours for a long time, but we didn't know the right person to talk to about it - until now! In this episode with Dr. Melissa Streno, from Lantern Psychology here in Denver, CO, we were able to ask all of our questions on mental preparation, visualization, how one can really learn how to practice mental toughness, and more. Dr. Streno spent a month in Paris at the Olympics with one of our US Teams, helping them keep sharp and prepared - and even though barrel racing is a new event for her to dive into, she did her research and her advice and thoughts are terrific! We only scratched the surface on some big topics, but hope this episode is a tool for you to use to prepare for your next run.
