Pascale Sylvain - Barrel Racer

Around them, I don’t have to explain myself.
The noise fades, the weight slips off my shoulders.

They offer a kind of love that asks nothing,
and a freedom that feels like coming home.

In their presence, I am softer,
and somehow… completely safe.

There are seasons where effort feels invisible,
where plans pause without warning,
where all that’s left is the quiet work.

Feed the morning.
Sweep the dust.
Do the small things well.

Chop wood. Carry water.

Not every step forward looks like movement.
Sometimes it looks like patience.

And somehow, without announcing it,
ordinary days build extraordinary moments.

The gate will open when it opens.
Until then — keep preparing.

Rodeo is hard.
It’s heartbreaking.
You can do everything right and something still goes wrong.

It’s mental.
How strong are you to keep trying… to keep showing up?

Every time I show up, something happens — and I’m not even talking about a bad run.
Honestly, I wish it was only performance. That would be easy. I could just work harder.

But no matter what — I will keep trying.
Nothing can break me.
And if that’s the only thing I’m remembered for… so be it.

Chasing a dream isn’t one big moment.
It’s small efforts, repeated daily, with patience and faith when you can’t see progress.

Today at church we talked about talent that God give us.
I think mine is perseverance — through faith and not giving up, even when it’s hard.
What do you believe your talent the God give you?

I know y’all don’t like when I expose people that call me fat, but i could get a tractor and a drag faster 😂 those video pay so good 😂

I want to share something honestly.

I talk a lot on this page about how much I struggle with my weight. I know being overweight is not healthy. I know what I should do. I’m not here to say that being overweight is okay or that it doesn’t matter. It does.

What people don’t always understand is that this isn’t just about “trying harder.”

Food addiction is real.
It’s like telling a drug addict to just stop doing drugs.
They already know it’s bad for them.
I already know.

I try. I fail. I try again. Over and over.
And yes, sometimes it feels embarrassing to even explain that.

I pray every day for the strength to not fall back into old habits.
I don’t make excuses. I take responsibility.
But this is a battle I fight daily.

What I ask is simple:
You don’t have to judge my body to support my journey.

I am not proud of being overweight.
But I am proud that I keep showing up.
I keep riding.
I keep training.
I keep trying to be better — as a human and as an athlete.

Progress doesn’t always look pretty.
Sometimes it just looks like not giving up.

And I won’t. 💛
