My mentors name is Susan Swain. Susan started barrel racing about fifteen years ago as a requirement from her job but grew addicted. Susan has two barrel horses Black and Vegas. Vegas Susan bought from Fallon Taylor, who is a professional barrel racer, years ago. She now uses him as a lesson horse. Black she recently bought and has been running him for a little over two years. Susan has a daughter names Sydney who also barrel races on her horse named Tiny. She also has a son named Tanner who used to barrel race but no longer does. Susan is a sweet kind lady who helps others out a lot. She has helped me over the past two years by letting me ride her horses and hauling my horse to barrel races and giving me lessons. I am thankful for all of her help and I hope to continue learning from her and to continue receiving her guidance.
