PB Skippy “Skippy”
Sami's barrel racing and pole bending partner. The two of them are one of the ranch's great working relationships — fast, consistent, and locked in on the pattern.

Meet the herd.
Every athlete needs a team — and Sami's runs on four legs. From competition horses to ranch goats to one very small supervisor.
Competition horse
Tecova
The goat tying mount — steady, patient, and calm when the dismount is everything. Sami's climb up the CJRA standings runs through this horse.

Ranch goats
Twix, Snickers & Baa
The ranch goat crew. Snickers is the brown-and-white one, Baa is the brown one — named for the sound sheep make — and Twix rounds out the trio. Full-time comic relief, part-time training partners.

Ranch sheep
BOOOM SHEEP
The resident sheep, all caps, three O's — as loud as the name suggests. Holds down the pasture and keeps everyone else honest.

Sami
