Barrel Racing Clinics

If you are interested in hosting a clinic, it is a great way for your club, organization or yourself to raise money. Contact Vana for more information.

Vana was practically born on a horse, as she is the daughter of parents prominent in the horse racing field. Her mother was a successful horse breeder and her father was a world renowned trainer and driver of harness horses. He won the Hambletonian three times and at the age of 81 he is still active as a consultant to major farms. Growing up on the racetrack bred a keen sense of adventure and competitiveness in Vana. She has always striven for the unique synergy of horse and rider competing at the highest levels together.

Some of her accomplishments include:

• Six-time National Finals Rodeo Qualifier
• National Finals Rodeo Fastest Time
• National Finals Rodeo Champion
• Women’s Professional Rodeo Association Rookie of the Year
• Two-time Women’s Professional Rodeo Association Southeastern Circuit Champion

Even though being retired since 1998, she ranks among the top ten all time money earners of the Women’s Professional Rodeo Association with earnings totaling over a half a million dollars.

Since retiring from rodeo competition, Vana has turned her talents toward helping others achieve their personal or professional best. Her deep instinct in working with horses coupled with years of barrel racing experience has led to her success as a coach in the field, inspiring and training a new generation of riders.

We invite you to experience Vana’s personal touch to help you achieve your own greatness. We offer the following clinics: 3-day Barrel Racing Clinic, Horsemanship, Private 1-on-1 Barrel Racing Lessons, Riding Lessons, Summer Day Camp.
