Mackenzie Barnett & Dice
#showdownteamdice
Mackenzie Barnett of Barnett Horsemanship from our first year is back to compete and is working with Foundation Division Horse Dice!
Mackenzie, a resident of Edgemont, SD specializes in English and Western dressage. With a lifelong dedication to working with and training horses, Mackenzie's focus has been on nurturing calm confidence in equines, particularly to transform them into safe mounts for beginners. Although she participated as a trainer in the Showdown's inaugural year in 2022, Mackenzie had to step back from training last year due to the birth of her second daughter. Instead, she contributed her support behind the scenes, offering her couch potato services and assisting with various tasks, including managing booths during the event's finale.

The 2024 Dakota Showdown Teams are working hard this summer. You can help them earn the "Fan Favorite" award by donating now! The team that raises the most will be named the "Fan Favorite".
For even more fun we are holding a White Elephant Ticket Raffle. For every dollar donated you will have a ticket put into your team's jar at the Showdown. There is one large prize to be drawn from the Fan Favorite jar ... and then we'll start drawing for smaller prizes based on amount raised. The team with the least amount of donations will draw a winner first, and the winner will chose a prize. The next amount will have the opportunity to steal their prize or pick a new one. If the prize is stolen, the person who lost their prize can either steal another or pick a new prize.
All prizes other than the grand prize will be in the $20-40 range. Prizes can only be stolen twice; once it is stolen the second time the person keeps it. You do not need to be present to win. If you are not present, you can nominate someone to choose for you or a volunteer will choose a prize for you from the table. Winner to pay any shipping required to receive their prize.
