Kaysen Bauerle is bringing the Bling and her gentle giant Chrome to her first BOTB!

Kaysen Bauerle & “Chrome” — TDL Bling Bling
Blanchester, OH · Qualified at Henderson’s Arena

Chrome is a gentle giant, and Kaysen Bauerle wouldn’t have him any other way — tall, super sweet, and honest. Kaysen doesn’t own him, so every day she heads to his owner’s place to take care of him and ride.

This is her first BOTB, and she qualified him twice this year to get here. Her biggest win so far was taking both the pee wee poles and pee wee barrels at the same show. When asked who made her the rider she is, she couldn’t pick just one — her mom, her dad, and Denise Evans and Travis Smith, who she says are like a grandma and grandpa to her.

Her message for everybody: “Good luck to everyone, let’s have fun!”

Welcome to the Best of the Best, Kaysen.
