I am truly honored to be able to spend time with any member of the Kirkpatrick family.
This past week, I had the privilege of photographing the world’s cutest little cowboy — a newer member of the Kirkpatrick family— with his mother, Sarah, and grandmother, Dena.
Sarah lives in Ft. Worth with her family and is the Director of Marketing at Anzea Textiles.
Dena Kirkpatrick is a professional horse trainer, world-renowned clinician, and wife to calf-roping horse trainer and rancher, Cliff Kirkpatrick.
Dena's accomplishments are huge in the horse industry. She holds the record as the only rider and horse pair to win all Go Rounds of the BFA World Championship Futurity. For 10 years in a row, Dena held a place in the Top 10 Futurity Trainers list. She is also the trainer of the Calgary Stampede Champion Canadian World Champ, Lady Perks, aka “Beauty.” Dena also trained WPRA World Champion AHA Horse of the Year Sugar Moon Express, aka “Martha.” As well, Dena has been West Texas Futurity/Derby Champion, San Antonio Livestock Show Rodeo Champion, BFA World Championship Futurity and Futurity Reserve Champion, Elite Futurity Champion, AHA World Champion, Speedhorse Gold Cup Futurity Reserve Champion, Old Fort Days Futurity Reserve Champion, Harlequin Farms Futurity Champion. Dena is sponsored by several companies, including Medivet Equine, Renew Gold, MedVet Pharm, Multi Radiance Veterinary, and Martin Saddlery.
Impressive.
Thanks for having me out, Dena!
