Gold Buckle Barrel Horses

Where the history of horsemanship and the future of technology ride side by side

Founded in 2006 by Kendra Dickson near Aubrey, Texas, Gold Buckle builds barrel horses trained for butter-smooth, resistance-free turns — speed that holds because stability was built first.

Proven Where It Counts

Kendra Dickson—host, WPRA Gold Card member and multi-year Top‑15 competitor—built Gold Buckle from arena results. The program combines championship performance history with a horse-first training philosophy that shows up on scoreboards.

What Makes a Gold Buckle Horse

One thing stands out the moment you sit on them:

Feel

Ultra-light in the mouth; butter‑smooth, resistance-free turns built through timing and balance, not force.

  • Butter-smooth turns
  • Self-rating speed control
  • Quick on the hocks

Mechanics

Biomechanics-first training—elevated front end, no shoulder drop, and durable movement patterns for repeatable performance.

  • Elevated through front end
  • No shoulder collapse
  • Biomechanics-based

Mind

Calm, confident, and responsive—horses trained to keep composure under pressure so riders can push for time without paying a mental price.

  • Calm and confident
  • Level-headed under pressure
  • Stable and focused

Stall High Coaching

Stall High is Kendra’s private coaching app focused on biomechanics, central nervous system regulation, and muscle activation — building stability first so speed holds up under competition pressure.

  • Biomechanics for riders
  • CNS regulation methods
  • Muscle activation drills

KAT: Kinetic Awareness Training

KAT is a rider-focused device for retraining muscle memory and correcting compensation patterns off the horse so riders arrive organized, balanced, and ready to ride fast without confusing the horse.

  • Retrain muscle memory
  • Off-horse habit correction
  • Improve timing and posture

Technology That Matches the Standard

Gold Buckle pairs traditional horsemanship with measurable data: Bullseye Saddles for balance, KAT for neuromuscular precision, and stride-data devices to remove guesswork and protect the horse.

Bullseye Saddles — engineered for balance

KAT — neuromuscular precision off-horse

Stride Data — objective movement metrics

When movement is measured, guessing disappears.
