Bart Promised Spots & Kristie Fleshman win their first PBRIP year-end championship
Bart Promised Spots and owner Kristie Fleshman of Norman, Okla,, closed 2022
with the most total points earned in APHA’s Paint Barrel Racing Incentive Program. This landed them not only the title of 2021 PBRIP High-Point Champion but also the reserved
2D championship as well. Kristie quoted
“I’m honored to win the PBRIP Year-End Championships. I’ve trained peanut (Bart Promised Spots barn name) and he has been running barrels for 2 1/2 years, he’s a fun horse and I love the paint association and the PBRIP. It’s a great incentive for us, with awesome prizes.”
Kristie will receive a Gist Silversmiths trophy buckle for her high-point win at the annual PRBIP awards presentation on July 8 at Will Rogers in Fort Worth, Texas.
