My pretty girl is home and being so enjoyable 💕. Thank you for the transport @prettymares4me from Texas to Ca I appreciate you ! @blissbates thank you for taking good care of my filly she looks like a show horse ! I can tell you spent a lot of time loving on her and putting a nice pattern on her she came back more supple and more enjoyable for me to go on with . I’m excited to see what our future looks like together .

Super proud of my team tonight 💗 Shakira made a super pretty run with me not pushing her and ended up winning the 3d and Iceman, even with getting kinda stuck at the first, clocked in the 3d. So so happy with my runs tonight TYJ #SmokinVanilla #TAFrenchmansshakira @provision_probiotics @blissbates @bates_barrel_horses_llc @belinda_slayton_bates @erinking1983 @turnagainfrenchman

🤎🐴 NOLAN WATTERS 2026 — What a weekend! 🐴🤎

So much fun, so many laughs, and memories made with some amazing ladies! So thankful for all of them, but most of all @belinda_slayton_bates ❤️

I couldn’t be more proud of London and her horses! We started this journey a little over a year ago, and what a ride it’s been!

London ended up with TWO new horses back-to-back, which definitely wasn’t the plan… but IYKYK! 😂 Learning a new way of riding while figuring out two completely different horses has been a journey, but watching it come together is so rewarding!

Both horses did AMAZING this weekend! Watching London ride Famous Hot Kisses better than she ever has made me SO excited for what’s to come! And honestly, the down barrel doesn’t even matter because we KNOW what’s possible! ❤️🔥

And Mr. Smitten Smooth… that horse is just an absolute DREAM! 😍

I know what this team is capable of, and I know they’re going to get there! We are beyond blessed to have Belinda’s knowledge, dedication, and belief in London and these horses.

So thankful for this journey, these incredible horses, and the amazing people along the way!

The best is yet to come! 🐴❤️

Super super proud of my horses tonight 💗 Got to the barrel race when they were on the big drag (there was only 52 entries) Mom went and entered for me while i tried to get both horses ready, she came back and helped me get them ready and hopped on Iceman to warm him up while I warmed up Shakira. (By the time we got to the arena they were done with the big drag) I ran Shakira and then switched horses in the alleyway and hopped on Iceman and ran him and he made a super pretty run, as well as Shakira, even with me losing my stirrup at the first. Both horses handled tonight incredibly and I couldn’t be more blessed. Thank you so much @blissbates for helping me so so much tonight and for my lesson on Shakira yesterday. None of this would be possible without you mom 💗 @belinda_slayton_bates @bates_barrel_horses_llc @provision_probiotics @erinking1983 @turnagainfrenchman

Although we didn’t have the weekend I was hoping for, we ended it with a solid run today! I think we just struggled with this unique pattern setup, but I studied my runs and tried something different today and we actually had a good first barrel 🤭 We ended up winning a chunk of money in the 2D, and won some prizes from placing 2nd in the 2D youth average! Proud of my boy and I for learning from our mistakes from the first two runs, being able to end the weekend with a beautiful run 💕 Last big race of this year, i’m excited for next year with some big plans in the work 🙈 Diesels really shown me what he’s capable of this year I love this big red boy 💕

Thank you @michellelyonangulo @alex_angulo1975 @belinda_slayton_bates @bates_barrel_horses_llc @blissbates
