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
