Isabelle McDonald
2024 SPRA Barrel Racing World Champion | 5× All‑Around Titleholder
Fifteen years, five championships, and one unstoppable horse named Gus—Isabelle McDonald turns every arena into a highlight reel. Fueled by grit, good coaching, and a daily dose of Kimmie’s Cocktail, she’s proof that all‑natural care can power world‑class performance.
Isabelle's Journey
Isabelle McDonald grew up with red dirt under her boots and big dreams under her hat. Weekend barrel‑racing lessons with Ms. Kim sparked her passion, and her father, Billy Day, later broadened her skills by teaching her to rope.
Six seasons in SAY Rodeo and three in NLBRA taught Isabelle that every tenth of a second matters. Two years ago she advanced to the professional ranks with the Southeastern Professional Rodeo Association (SPRA)—and 2024 became her breakout year:
​
-
SPRA Barrel Racing World Champion
-
Reserve All‑Around Champion
-
Average Barrel Racing World Champion
-
Reserve World Champion, Little Britches
-
Holder of five All‑Around titles
​
Her success is inseparable from XR Shawne Poco Streke—“Gus.” Bred from Shawne Bug Leo and Painted Brown Sugar, Gus’s speed and mindset flourish on consistent training, open pasture, and the nutritional support of Kimmie’s Cocktail. From the signature liquid formula to the gourmet cookies, the regimen keeps his joints supple, his coat gleaming, and his focus razor‑sharp.

Every buckle Isabelle wins is a team victory—shared by Gus, Ms. Kim, and everyone at Kimmie’s Cocktail who believes performance begins with wholesome care.
"Gus and I both love Kimmie's Cocktail—from the cocktail itself to the gourmet cookies. It truly works wonders. I'm so grateful to be part of Ms. Kim's team."
