Giving credit where credit is due: Fairlea Mr Elwood (4/11/2016 Silver Gun x Fairlea Swiss Miss) has started his barrel racing career with a BANG! We could not be more proud of what he is accomplishing. And we would like to give credit to those who brought him to this point.First, a BIG THANK YOU to Monica Caetano Performance Horses. Monica and her team started Elwood right by giving him a solid foundation with all the moves. But, he decided that being a reined cow horse was not for him. We then handed him off to Cheyenne Hattesen who put the pattern on him and brought out that he loves to hunt barrels.
