WOW, what a series!! 🏆

We can’t thank everyone enough for supporting us throughout our very first series at the arena! We are so thankful for everyone who came out and made this series so special. We hope next year will be just as good, if not better!

We wouldn’t have been able to make this year so amazing without all of our wonderful sponsors, food trucks, and photographers. Your support means more to us than you know!

And to our incredible behind-the-scenes crew, there truly aren’t enough words to thank you! Our tractor drivers, announcer, office crew, and barrel setters worked hard to keep everything running smoothly, and we couldn’t have done it without each of you!

4 DAYS AWAY!! 🤩

We are so excited to wrap up this season with you all!

Diamond DM made us these beautiful crosses in memory of our sweet MomMom. ❤️ She never missed a barrel race, rodeo, roping, or ball game for any of her grandkids. We miss her every single day, but we are forever thankful for the grit, work ethic, and hardheadedness she instilled in all of us.

She was always our biggest supporter, pushing us to chase our dreams and never give up, no matter what.

As we get ready for our final race of the season, we want to remember what matters most. It’s not always about the fastest time or the buckles we take home. It’s about the memories made, the people who helped us get here, and the faith that carries us through it all.

No matter where life takes you, always “RIDE BY FAITH.” ❤️✝️

We can’t wait to see y’all Saturday and finish this season together!

🏆 ALMOST 2 WEEKS AWAY! 🏆

Here’s a look at our 1st Place Awards for the 2026 season! 🤩 These awards will be based on overall points earned throughout each show, including our FINALS! With that being said this race is open to EVERYONE, the awards will be separate from the payout.

👀 Be on the lookout for more awards over the next couple of weeks! We still have more to share! We wouldn’t be able to make these awards possible without our AMAZING sponsors! We are so thankful for each and every one of you and your continued support of our series. ❤️

We are so excited to wrap up the 2026 season with everyone and can’t wait to see how those final points shake out at the finals! 🩷🌟

🌭 Grayson Food Wagon will also be joining us! Please make sure to stop by and support them, as this will probably be their last event with the wagon. Let’s show them some love and support!

See you all soon! 🫶🏻
