The Flying Arena Stars
WHO WE ARE
Flying Arena Stars
Shyla, Layna, and Clara Navarre
18 year old Shyla, 14 year old Layna, and 9 yr old Clara are professional entertainers that are following the footsteps of their deeply rooted family tradition. The girl’s parents, Corey and Melissa Navarre, make their home in Weatherford, OK, and Melissa passes the art of trick riding down to her girls as a 3rd generation of performers.
The young sister trio found themselves in Las Vegas at the WNFR in 2023 performing as one of the selected Specialty Acts. Being chosen to work together at the NFR is the highlight of the girl’s young career!
Shyla has been trick riding for the last 13 years, beginning her career with her mother, Melissa Navarre of Weatherford, Oklahoma. Shyla has been across the country, including 2013 Wrangler National Finals Rodeo, 2013 Ram National Circuit Finals, and many other PRCA rodeos. Layna is 13 years old and shines in
the spotlight alongside her sister, as they both worked the Wrangler Nationals Finals Break Away Roping in 2020. 2021 brought the last sister in to the arena, Clara Rose. Clara has stepped up and put an exclamation point on the sister act! They have performed as a group and entertained at 2021 NFSR and at Texas Motor Speedway at the NASCAR All Star Race in 2021 and 2022 on pit row!
Shyla developed a love for whip cracking and developed the art with the help of her mentor Ryder Kiesner. She will entertain you with different whip cracking maneuvers and do some target popping with the help of Clara, that will keep your attention! Watch as Shyla performs her beautiful and dangerous tricks on her
beautiful white horse, Captain and Layna will steal your heart as she flies by on her Quarter Pony, Nugget and Clara steals the show on her Shetland pony Thunder.

Shyla is 19 years old and the leader of the trio. She has been
performing since she was 5 and has an understanding and love
for the production and timing in the arena. When she’s not on a
horse or popping a whip, she loves sports and being a

Nazarene University on a Track and Field Scholarship.
