The eight horses we have looked at are Martha Josey’s Amazin’ Eight that shows the crossover effect on our barrel horses. When you listen to her and read about these horses, you find that they each had a different running style and approach to the barrels. She also notes that they were fun to ride, and they were having fun and dedicated to what they were doing. They are not the only good ones she has ridden, but they are key individuals in her many years of riding barrel horses and solidifying her place in history as one of the all-time great trainers, riders and teachers in the industry. And folks, she
is not done yet. She is currently involved with a full schedule of Martha Josey Clinics for 2023.
