Label TextUnlike many rodeo participants, Machelle Baccus did not grow up around horses. She began riding horses after a divorce. She bought her first horse in 1985. She said, “After sometime, I realized my horse Kinda Like-a Charger was not getting it done. In 1989 I purchased my first real barrel horse, Pistol. After my first win, I was hooked.”
