Colten Farley was a student at Jacksonville State University and an avid appaloosa barrel racer. He died tragically in April of 2021. The Colten Farley Memorial Foundation was created to honor his life and legacy. The foundation serves youth who participate in the equine and livestock industries.
This year, at the Better Barrel Races World Final show in Oklahoma City, the Colten Farley Memorial Appaloosa Incentive was held. In addition to the competition and opportunity to win prize money, the organization, in conjunction with the Oklahoma Appaloosa Racing All Appaloosa Barrel Incentive, gave away a number of fun awards.
