Owner of TS Quarter Horses

Tabitha Smith’s dream has always been to raise top quality horses that can go any direction a person wants to take them and make dreams a reality for so many other horse crazy girls/woman/people out there. Tabitha is also an independent consultant of Rodan + Fields as well as a co-owner in Excel Supplements, a job that allows her to follow her passion for animals by being able to provide them with a product that can greatly improve their health and body.

Bella Venable is from Western Wisconsin. She has loved horses for as long a she can remember and began riding at 8 years old. She discovered barrel racing at age 10 and quickly fell in love with the speed, adrenaline, and the journey that comes with the sport. Today, she competes in Youth and Open events across organizations including NBHA, WGBRA and BBR.

Bella has always been drawn to the underdogs. Rather than buying horses that are already made, she enjoys putting in the work and building them herself. Her gelding, Boon, went from a laid back trail and occasional 4-H horse to a competitive 2D barrel horse. River, originally her dad’s sorting horse, became a successful 1D/2D barrel horse after Bella discovered her natural ability for barrels. For Bella, the success is especially meaningful because it was her work (both in the saddle and out) that has made them what they are today.

Outside of competition, Bella is known for her determination, kindness, and big personality. She credits her trainer, Terra, as a major inspiration and strives to continue growing as both a rider and a horsewoman. Her dream is to become a professional barrel racer and trainer and compete in some of the biggest races across the country.

Bella hopes to be remembered as the cowgirl who never gives up, roots for the underdog, and treats everyone with kindness.
