BIO
Hi! My name is Elli Grace and I’m from Monroe, Louisiana. I currently own 3 horses and I compete in barrel racing and rodeo. I have 2 geldings & 1 mare. I’ve competed in numerous places around Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas, and Mississippi. I’ve been to The Josey Ranch & won prizes and money, I’ve competed at All American Youth & won, and I’ve also been to the Margie Worley scholarship run and won there. I’ve won 3 buckles, and many prizes.
My role models are Fallon Taylor, Sarah Rose McDonald, Sherry Cervi, Lisa Lockhart, Cassidy Kruse, and Martha Josey. I’ve been to the NFR once to watch the 10th round & I was lucky enough to meet and see all of them. I’m a straight A student with dreams bigger than the sky. I’m currently at the top of my class and continue to balance school, barrel racing, and training a colt. My goal in life is to maintain a college degree in veterinary work and become a professional horse trainer. I want to make it to the NFR & pursue the dreams I’ve had ever since I was a little girl.
