Real Rider Lindy Johnson Barrel Racer at Johnson Bend Farm

Real Riders. Real Stories: Meet Lindy Johnson

Nineteen-year-old Real Rider Lindy Johnson grew up on horseback at Johnson Bend Farm in Hayden, Alabama. From barrel racing to cattle work, she depends on her horses — and they depend on her. This is her story.

A Life Built on Horses

Some riders learn this life. Others are born into it. Lindy has been riding since she was two, raised on a working cattle operation where horses are partners, not ornaments. Barrel racing, pasture roping, cutting — she does it all with quiet confidence and a team she loves.

The Herd Behind the Rider

Every Real Rider has a story. Lindy has six:

  • Star — her first barrel horse, self-trained, now a broodmare.
  • Vernie — the gritty Quarter Horse mare who worked cattle and ran barrels; now retired to raise foals.
  • Ghost — her 23-year-old gray who still goes to shows for fun and teaches lessons.
  • JB — her 8-year-old registered Appaloosa with a reputation for high intelligence and high mischief.
  • Bugs — a 15-year-old palomino Paint mare who always surprises her.
  • Saint — a reliable 15-year-old sorrel gelding who lives up to his name.

JB: The Escape Artist

Every barn has a horse too smart for his own good. For Lindy, that’s JB. He learned to unlock the gate — then learned to lock himself back in. His timing? Always inconvenient. A special clip now keeps him contained... most of the time.

How Draw It Out® Fits Into Her Program

With a working farm, show schedule, lesson horses, broodmares, and Alabama heat, her program is nonstop. Lindy relies on:

  • Breathe to Run® — for clearer, more efficient breathing in dust and heat.
  • Draw It Out® Liniment — for daily comfort, recovery, and consistent performance.
“These products really made my horses perform better. My horses feel great and breathe better when performing.” — Lindy Johnson

Where She Found Us

Lindy first discovered Draw It Out® at Tractor Supply before connecting with our content on TikTok — a reminder that Real Riders find us in the wild, long before they ever fill out a form.
