Date, Rodeo Name and Location
On Saturday March 14th I competed at the Okeechobee, Fl PRCA Rodeo 

Which horse did you draw?
 I drew a horse by the name of 89 Tar Baby
 
Stock Contractor?

 The stock contractor was Silver Spur Championship Rodeo 

How was your horse in the chute?
 The horse was good, stood well and didn’t need to be tied in. He ran forward when they pulled the gate.

 Did you learn about the horse before hand?
 Yeah, I knew the horse. An amateur contractor owned him and I got on him 3 or 4 times at college rodeos. I pulled an 80 something every time I rode him before. 

Tell me about your ride, did you feel strong, did the horse perform the way you thought it would?

This horse blew out strong and hard. A lot harder than I remembered. My foot came down under my riggin and he popped me on to my back. Then he jerked me down and I landed on my head. When I rode him in the past at college rodeos I was riding for $50 or so bucks and covered him. Tonight I was riding for $1500 and he bucked me off. 
 
Comments about the rodeo? committee, hospitality, etc

 It was a good rodeo. It was a fair rodeo and it pulled a good crowd. It was a long performance, it was around 3 hours.
