Purina® Stories of Greatness: Martha Josey, Full-Length Feature

[@katelynfankhauser4345]

I always get chills watching these! Thanks for making them and sharing their stories to inspire more riders!

[@jennymontague851]

Wonderful to watch. Her dream was also mine once, but I didn't have the support, the parents or the resources she had and just gave up, but I've never forgotten what it felt like to ride a good horse around those barrels at break-neck speed. Thrilling.

[@hollyaustin5130]

I just now found this story.made me cry from happiness.i met them both when Paula Phillip's and I went down there to visit them..it was a wonderful wkend and they were such great people.. thank you for all you do for everybody! We all love you both !

[@marlenemantz5999]

I really enjoyed your story Martha thank you so much for sharing it.

[@sierrajade7875]

Nearly cried watching this. I'd love nothing more than to go to the ranch.

[@leslieriggle160]

Sierra Jade me too it is like a second home

[@ellefenton3799]

I just got back from a clinic and it’s awesome you should definitely go to one. It’s an unforgettable experience!

[@rebeccamessenger8490]

I love you, miss Martha. I just got back from your clinic today

❤ AMAZING LADY

[@LadyShannondoor]

My heroine! I get chills watching it.

[@haleygalloway7302]

such a sweet lady, and who disliked this video? and why?...

[@mandyonsaber9238]

People who support creulty free riding and dont like to see horses kicked and whipped to run faster when they are already going as fast as they can.

[@rushellealexandra5243]

not all do and some u have to gto motivate them... to me thats better then spurring or using harsh bits....

[@haleygalloway7302]

I don't agree with whipping, harsh bits, or spurs, but that doesn't give you a reason to hate someone. My friends might do it, but I'm not gonna complain to them every time I see them riding.

[@alaynabrown8774]

because contantly kicking their rib cages and wipping their shoulders only for human entertainment is the actual definition of animal cruelty and abuse

[@rushellealexandra5243]

@@alaynabrown8774 harsh bits of wire or tie downs if not medically necessary and hard spurring is worse then kicking kicking them won't hurt them

Love you Martha your the best

[@lindalentz24]

she has always been my idol.....

[@leahzeiters8905]

Watched Martha Josey Compete at Tops in Texas many times!!

[@donnakeeley7924]

Would sure like to see you do a story about BETTY LUCAS of the PRCOA (Professional Rodeo Cowboy Oldtimers Association). She was my favorite Barrel Racer of all time! Martha Josey's video is terrific too. I wonder just how many horses she had during her career? This only spoke of 3. Thanks for the memories.

[@bridgetr2066]

Loved watching this! 💙

[@kyliepfeifer7179]

Awh in the beginning she put clinics on at my grandparent ranch. And now I comepete their every year. As she and Josey are a close friend to me, 1,900 miles to Texas are worth it.

[@jenniferkrepps7016]

I love Martha Josey,s Ranch and I went there in 2018 🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴🐎🐎🐎😁😁

[@dafnehernandez6218]

[@MissChievousRN]

That was a gorgeous stallion!!!

[@jenniferkrepps7016]

[@denworley16]

She was good rodeos were better then always liked cowgirls l grew up rodeo

[@pamelawilson5371]

every little girl that rides, wants to be a martha josey

[@catfoster844]

You studied 9 people who dis liked

[@brandedblondie]

Martha Josey is just full of crap, I went to a rodeo before and she was there and there was this line to practice barrels in an indoor arena and she pushed a little girl out of line and went to the very front and said " I'm better and more famous then y'all so move" so disrespectful, I have 0 respect for her espically people who whip them.

[@katieseeley6816]

Brooklyn Murphy that’s the biggest load of crap I’ve heard. Why would you lie like that.?.?.

[@lindakennedy7693]

Agree with Brooklyn Murphy and Alayna Brown. MUST this lady flog her horses in the flanks when they are already running their hearts out for her? Hard to watch and NOT impressive!

[@alaynabrown8774]

hard to watch. The photos really express the fear in the animals eyes

[@melissazietz1241]

Lol

[@chasing_dreams_and_barrels2361]

Uhhh where ? Clearly hating a professional that Hassan been around horses her whole life and lots of disasters and kept going looks like your a lowlife calling everything abuse

[@melissazietz1241]

[@alaynabrown8774]

seriously had to click off. Just whipping and whipping the poor animals. If you literally did this to almost any other animal in the world. Yet we just decide that the exploitation and abuse of horses is ok because its a "sport"

[@delshowhorses7419]

I dont think the horses were opening their mouths. If a horse is in pain they will show by bucking or something else ok. If you truly know horses you would know how they think but I guess not

[@chasing_dreams_and_barrels2361]

Well why do u have to comment you said you have to click off yet you have to comment and say this is abuse when it’s not smh

[@melissazietz1241]

Really? One comment wasn't enough; you had to write two?

[@kaitlyncygan9766]

It’s not ok. I don’t agree with the yanking of bits, whipping them, or kicking the shit out of them but u ride a horse so u should know that just trotting around an arena can cause them to fall and break a leg cause they dripped over dirt. Life is not easy nor fair and we cannot just call shit abuse when it’s not. It’s not like she had a whips or spurs that cut the skin on the horses, but we are all in titled to what we believe but in my opinion if it was so bad that u had to click off, don’t comment cause you didn’t watch the full thing and here her story or see it u didn’t see the pain she went through.

[@chasing_dreams_and_barrels2361]

Kaitlyn Cygan I agree so much whips and spurs are useful only iff their used correctly
