1. Do you have any superstitions?

 I am not superstitious, I heard a quote a few years ago that is true…” You don’t need Good Luck, You need the Good Lord”

 

2. What is your favorite food to eat while out on the road?

 Well I like to eat BBQ, but I like to snack on protein bars quite a bit too.

 

3. Do you have a dog?

 Yes, Champ will be 10 in April, he is half blue heeler half Catahoula. He used to go everywhere with me, but lately I haven’t taken him. I think he has been in like 24 states and part of Canada and probably over a million miles I think if he had thumbs he could probably drive.

 

4. Do you haul alone or do you have hauling partners?

 I tend to haul by myself, for the fact that most of my friends have jobs and have to be back at work, where as I don’t and if I want to hang out somewhere I will. Plus I have different association cards and some guys don’t have them. There are a couple guys from Nevada that want me to start traveling with them so I am looking forward to that. A few times last year I got in with some guys and a couple barrel racers including Amber. It’s always nice to travel with barrel  racers or timed event guys because I usually get to ride in the trailer and soak up the air conditioning and stretch out and relax at the rodeo.

 

5. What is the farthest you have traveled in one day for a rodeo?

 I guess St. Tite, Quebec Canada is one of them. It takes 24-26 hours to drive there straight through. I have done that twice. I have also driven to rodeos in South Florida quite a few times, which takes 22-24 hours straight through. I usually do not just drive to south Florida without going to some rodeos on the way or on the way back though.

 

6. How do you keep yourself in shape while out on the road?

 I try and eat healthy, drink lots of water and eat lots of protein. If I stay in a hotel I will use the fitness room. I just try to stay active and do at least a little bit of stretching and/or exercising.

 

7. Words you live by?

Philipians 4:13

“Give the Glory to God”

“Stay Positive”

“Never Give Up”

“If you’re not having Fun, It’s Your own fault!”

“Wing it”

 

 8. Longest you have been out on the road at a time, before heading back to the house?

 Not sure maybe 5 or 6 weeks or so.

 

 9. What is your signature color?

 Purple….. I have a purple and white bronc rein, I have purple tape covering my stirrups on my bronc saddle, and I wear a purple wild rag or neckerchief when I ride.

 

 Stay tuned for updates on Spencer! He is up in Springfield, MO, and Butler, GA this weekend!
