Kara Leech
Hi, my name is Kara I’m 24 and from the Sunshine Coast, Queensland! I’ve been riding since I was five years old and have competed in just about everything from showjumping, eventing, team penning and sporting. However, just recently I’ve decided I wanted to take up barrel racing with my new mare Montana. I currently own five other horses and enjoy taking on projects, especially off the track Thoroughbreds. My whole lifestyle revolves around horses and I’m lucky enough to work my dream job managing a riding school. I’m so excited to be a part of the Double R team and can’t wait to see what opportunities this ambassadorship brings!
Kaitlyn Bellert
My names Kaitlyn and at 29 years old, I’ve been around horses my whole life, and there’s nothing I love more than riding and being in their presence. Currently living in Rockhampton, QLD, I’ve immersed myself in the vibrant equestrian community here, where I’ve found my passion in the thrill of rodeos. Participating in barrel racing is one of my favorite pursuits; there’s something magical about the bond between horse and rider as we navigate those turns with speed and grace.As an army veteran, my experiences have shaped my appreciation for the discipline and connection that comes with horsemanship. Being around these magnificent animals brings me pure joy, whether I’m in the arena competing or simply enjoying their company in the stables. I cherish the camaraderie and energy of local events, where the spirit of horsemanship shines through in every gathering. Recently, I took an exciting step in my journey by becoming a brand ambassador for Double R Western. This opportunity not only aligns with my love for horses but also allows me to connect with others who share my passion. I can’t wait to see where this journey takes me as I continue to embrace my love for riding and the wonderful world of horses, cherishing every moment along the way.

Hey, I am Jasmine Knowles. How gorgeous are double R western products? This opportunity is surrel to me. I am so excited to be apart of there team! I’m 17 and from a small town in Queensland. My whole life has been about horses. I barrel race and want to do many more disciplines in my life. I always have valued my horsemanship and go to clinics to learn and improve for my horses.I am a 2025 Australian Rodeo Queen Quest entrant and through my journey of this want to set as best example to young woman as I can. As the Rodeo Queen Quest was founded to encourage and educate young woman into the sport of rodeo. something I stronger believe in even though it sounds cliche is you can be anything. As I couldn’t afford an already done barrel horse. Although With that said I wouldn’t change anything though. With last year winning the 4d champion and this year getting faster times. I never thought I would be an ambassador for double R western which I’m so grateful for. I never thought It would be possible for me to be an ambassordor for double R western and couldn’t be more grateful.
