Spencer Turner, Winning Ride at IFR 2009

Who is someone that has influenced your riding and rodeo experiences?

There have been a lot of friends that have helped influence me in my riding and rodeoing. I look up to cowboys and cowgirls who are generally good people, and have good attitudes about life and rodeo. I try to associate with good positive thinking Christian type people.

I am influenced by guys that have been rodeoing a long time, also by guys who are very successful. I try and learn a little bit from everybody. I don’t try to “be like or ride like” anybody in particular. I take a little bit from the way a lot of guys ride and live and just make my own style and life and be my own individual. Everybody rodeos differently, and you have to find your own style or niche and go with it, I have learned a lot about rodeoing just from learning what works or doesn’t work for other people.
