Tracey Goodman and Biscuit

Date, Rodeo Name and Location

5/1/2009  Forrest City, Ar. PRCA. It was MUD-FEST this year!!
 
 
Which horse did you run?

Mr. Biscuit. And boy am I glad I did. The thought had crossed my mind to take my younger mare and give her some experience, but I’m glad I took Biscuit.
 
Tell me about your run, the good the bad and the ugly. Exactly how you felt about it.

If I’m not mistaken, there was atleast 7 inches of rain by 10 o’clock that morning. The arena was BAD, BAD wet!! Biscuit went in there harder than I wanted but he stood up the whole time. Sucked those cans up and ran hard in between all of them. I couldn’t have asked for him to work any better for me. We ran a second off of the winning time…ON WET GROUND!    
 
 
How was the ground, alley, warm up area, etc?

Of course, like I mentioned earlier, the arena was more than holding water. It looked like a lake. Watching the calf ropers was the best part. Those poor boys…all I’m saying is I’m glad I don’t have to do their laundry. hehe. Alley way…MUD! Warm up area…MUD!! There was nowhere to go and the rain never stopped!
 
Comments about the rodeo

This is a neat little rodeo to go to. It helps that its ”right up the road” from the house. It’s only about a 2 hour trip. It was kinda miserable this year with all the rain. Last year when we went, there were tornados warnings and watches all over us! Somehow we made it through and wound up 2nd there! But what I like about it…no matter the weather, there are still folks in the stands! Not many…a few handfuls…but it’s nice to know that they wanna watch a good rodeo. Rain or shine!!
 
Anything interesting happen on the trip there or back?

Nothing to crazy happened. I could feel the swelling in my knee from where Biscuit hit the first. Fortunately, the barrel was suctioned to the ground. IT DIDNT GIVE!! Then I had to ride on a comforter out of the horse trailer because I was soaking wet and muddy! We couldn’t get out because a lovely 18 wheeler parked right behind us. Literally, we could barely load the horses he was so close to the back door. Then a HUGE rig was stuck in front of us. We had nowhere to go! My hauling partner/future sister in law almost backed over me….hmm…what else. That’s about it!!    
 

What CD is in your cd player in your truck right now???

A mixed CD of Samantha’s was the last thing we were jammin’ to. We are usually so pumped heading out, and then dragging on the way home! We have to have our “power music” to keep us going!!
