Shandel Miller of Springtown Texas like many young ladies has been riding horses way before she could even walk.  She started her equine sports career at the local playdays and progressed to the rodeo arena when she was in high school and the age of 14.

Shandel started her youth equestrian days also riding and competing on cutting horses at the ripe old age of 12; from there she progressed and competes in Barrel Racing, a sport she continues to compete at today.

One of her current barrel horses is "STAR" a 23 year old black gelding, she purchased Star when he was 2, trained and still competes on to this day.  Her second horse she trained with the help of The Paul Humphrey Clinics is Gracie, she will tell you those clinics really helped her get Gracie where she is today.

She currently has a 5 year old horse that has been added to her arsenal of horses that she will be starting on barrels.  Shandel lists one of her biggest goals in taking one of her own horses she trains to a futurity or derby in the near future.
