Which horse did you draw?

The horse was #22

 Stock Contractor?

The Stock Contractor was Universal Rodeo Company, Mark Johnson.

How was your horse in the chute?

He stood pretty good in the chute. He did have his head down and kept looking towards the back of the chute. He wouldn’t hold his head up so I just called the gate and took him how he was.

Did you learn about the horse before hand?

I saw him at the UT Martin Rodeo three times. I knew the horse well and he was the horse I wanted.

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

 He kind of ran out and hopped out and kicked three jumps. He weakened as the ride went on and didn’t try that hard. He as a 16-17 points and he acted like he was tired, he had been bucked a bunch. I scored a 78 and took 2nd for the weekend.

Comments about the rodeo, committee, hospitality, etc.

There wasn’t a hospitality tent at this rodeo but the crown was good and it was a really good rodeo.

How far did you travel to this rodeo?

I traveled three hours to get to this rodeo, I was coming from Martin, TN

Since your month off, what are your plans now?

Rodeo, Rodeo, Rodeo!! That is my plan. I will be going to one rodeo a weekend for the next three weekends and then hitting it hard. I am ready to go, I feel rested, I have been working on my spurring machine and I felt great on this last ride. I feel like I didn’t take any time off. I am really excited about this summer.
