Live Life on Your Own Terms

I’m based in Nirimba, WA and compete in barrel racing. Horses, rodeo and the lifestyle that comes with it are a huge part of who I am - and I’m always finding my way back to the saddle.

The Story

I fell in love with a cowboy 🤭

I started following him around to his bull riding events, got bored of sitting on the sidelines, brought my show pony along to have a go… and never looked back.

Why wouldn’t you?

It’s more than a brand — it’s being part of a family. ❤️

What’s on the horizon

This year is all about getting back in the saddle and doing what I love again.

In the Saddle with Angela

Horse Power

Skyla

My real-life rocket unicorn 🚀

She’s my main mount when I’m not in the arena teaching, and a huge part of everything I do.

Alongside her, I’ve got 8 horses, a dog and a cow — so life is always busy.

Road Trip Essential

Fancy tea 🙊🌻

Morning Person or Night Owl?

All day long — but there’s nothing better than a ride at night under lights.

Something Most People Wouldn’t Know

I may be little… but I’m loud 🫣

Angela’s Double R Pick

Caps

I’m always in a cap — they’re a staple for me no matter where I am or what I’m doing.
