Stacy Westfall's Championship Ride

Stacy Westfall’s Championship Ride

Stacy Westfall is currently one of the biggest stars on the reining circuit and is highly in-demand for clinics and demos. She skyrocketed to fame when this video of her winning ride at the 2006 NRHA Futurity went viral. Many people outside of the horse world learned about Westfall and the sport of reining when she and her mare Roxy made an appearance on Ellen DeGeneres’s talk show in 2008.
