Name : Allysa Wagner

Age: 18

Family members: Mike and Kendra Wagner

Hometown: Balderson, Ontario

Current horse and a bit about it: Maybe Ima Fantasy-an itty bitty little mare with a heart the size of Texas. Some days we have our differences but she has taught me more than I could have ever hoped for.

Goals for the upcoming show season: Stay consistent! A clean run is all I ask.

First prize: 3rd place Pre-Novice Over Fences Class, Owlstone Equestrian Centre

Favourite alltime horse, english or western: Red's Limited Edition, known to everyone else as Boo. The first horse I trained myself, and quite simply my best friend. On an international level, I love Sherri Cervi's mare-MP Meter My Hay. Another tiny mare that runs with all those big top-dollar horses, and wins, regardless of size. She reminds me so much of Tulsa!

Favourite show: National Barrel Horse Association Youth World Championships in Jackson, Mississippi

What do you do to pass the time while lunging: Who lunges?! While loping circles I focus on keeping Tulsa's shoulders up keep her working off her hind end.

Other interests: Basketball, fishing, 4 wheeling

Best advice: 'God doesn't give us more than we can handle.'

Role model: So many people have helped me get where I am. To list a few: My Daddy, Andrea Veldhuyzen, Donna and Murray Whitaker, Regina Bond, and Roberta Culpepper.
