Words from our Queen
Portia Wireman

Hi! I am Portia Wireman.

I am proud to represent NLBRA of MI as your
queen. I started in NLBRA
of MI almost 13 years ago as a trail hand.
Today my events are
Barrel Racing, Pole
Bending, Goat Tying,
Breakaway Roping,
and Trail Course.

I am very grateful to
NLBRA for the
opportunities it has
brought my way. I am
also truly blessed by
all the people that are involved. We are
like a family.

If any of you need
anything and I can be of some help please look
me up and I'll
do the best I can for you.

Riding on Faith,

Portia Wireman
