Brian Massey

One of Brian’s Most Memorable Rides

The Sparta, MI rodeo is memorable in and of itself.  What, with the majority of the grounds being covered with “campers” who have been there for days with primitive accommodations and what appeared to be an abundance of beverages.  They were definitely there to have a good time.  So you can imagine the energy level at this mid-summer event.  The horse was a bay who had a reputation for stalling out in front of the chutes and then being explosive.  True to his reputation, when the gate opened he took about two jumps and then blew up right in front of the chutes.  He’s the kind of horse you want to draw, and allows you to let it all hang out!  What a fun way to earn 86 points and win a rodeo!!!
