My name is Markie Vetere. I’m a first generation barrel racer, and have had horses the entirety of my life. My passion for riding began when my sisters were old enough to participate in horse 4-H and I soon followed. It was there that I fell in love with barrel racing. Over the years I’ve had many great horses and traveled many different places participating in rodeos, incentivized races, and smaller jackpots. My goals for this year include making 1D runs consistently, entering my young mare in a few rodeos, and traveling more places to expose her to more arenas and atmospheres.
