So awesome to see some of my truly talented young students on the world stage.

🇦🇺🤠🇺🇸 HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT – 2027 US BARREL RACING TEAM! 🇺🇸🤠🇦🇺
TEXAS, HERE WE COME! 🐎✈️
DBE Youth Rodeo Development is incredibly excited to announce that 7 talented young barrel racers have been invited to travel to Texas, USA, in 2027 for an incredible training and development opportunity!
🐎 Charlotte Planke
🐎 Mikayla Rhodes
🐎 Milly Eames
🐎 Ava De-Villiers
🐎 Allira Wilson
🐎 Ziva James
🐎 Hunta Gallacher
These girls will have the opportunity to train alongside a WORLD CHAMPION BARREL RACER, gaining valuable skills, knowledge and experience to bring home to Australia!
🤫 Who's the trainer? We're keeping that under wraps for now... but we'd love to hear your guesses in the comments! 👀
📅 The trip is currently planned for May 2027, with Mel and Brianna Maxwell accompanying the girls to Texas.
A massive thank you to Mel and Brianna for generously taking on this responsibility and helping make this experience possible. Your support is greatly appreciated! 💙
🎥 We’re also thrilled to have Darcey Schouten from Lyla Creative joining the adventure to capture the girls’ journey, from training and new experiences to unforgettable moments in Texas, so everyone back home can follow along!
👏 TO OUR INCREDIBLE SPONSORS – THANK YOU!
Opportunities like these simply wouldn't be possible without the generosity of the businesses and individuals who believe in developing our WA rodeo youth.
Your continued support helps open doors, build confidence, develop skills and give our young athletes opportunities they may never otherwise experience.
This is what DBE Youth Rodeo Development is all about! Giving dedicated young athletes the chance to grow, chase their dreams and take their passion for rodeo to the next level.
We can't wait to follow these girls on their Texas adventure! 🇺🇸🐎
💙 More Than Rodeo – It's About Opportunity, Development and Lifelong Memories!
