Description

In this episode I get to chat with one of the best barrel racers in the country, Tayla Moeykens, and her mom Deena Moeykens.


In September Tayla had the horse world of Montana on the edge of our seats while she battled the bubble to the NFR, finishing 16th in the world in the WPRA barrel racing. Currently she's sitting 8th!


Here's a list of her recent accomplishments: 
❖ 2023 Montana Circuit Finals Average and Year End Champion, qualifying for the NFR Open
❖ 2024 Big Sky Region Barrel Racing Champion
❖ 2024 Reserve Women’s All-Around Champion
❖ 2024 Reserve College National Champion Barrel Racer
❖ 2024 Montana Circuit Finals Qualifier
❖ 2024 Pro Rodeo Season – Ended 16th in the World Standing for the WPRA


Tune in to hear from Tayla and her mom Deena as they discuss mental toughening in barrel racing and rodeo, the important of using a step-wise approach to building confidence, Tayla's solid foundation, and the amazing horses that have gotten her where she is today.


Deena and Tayla are incredible riders and trainers and even better people. I can't wait for you guys to get to hear from them!
