Date, Rodeo Name and Location
5/24/2009 Jackson, Tn. Rodeo PRCA

Which horse did you run?
I ran Biscuit. He is my little 4 wheel drive muddin’ machine!!  

How was your warmup? Did you get there in plenty of time to get prepared?
Warming up went great. He acted like a perfect gentleman. Which is unusual for him. We had to warm up close to where my trailer was parked so my mare was at the trailer throwing a fit for him to come back. And my cute little dog was barking for me to come back.

How did you feel mentally?
Mentally, I was bummed because the night before, the perf’s ground was pretty trashy. Slick…not a wet slick, just a hard pan underneath what looked like decent ground. I think just about every horse slipped, tripped or fell. Slack was after the first perf and the ground wound up being really, really good. Over night, it came a flood so lucky me…I ran in knee deep mud without a chance at pulling a check!! IMAGINE THAT!!  
 

Tell me about your run, the good the bad and the ugly. Exactly how you felt about it.
Our run was probably as good as it coulda gotten considering the conditions. I was supposed to be 2nd out but the girl in front of me turned out. Lucky me, I got to run first without seeing anyone else on the ground. I sent him in there NFR-style because I have faith in him!! It was sticky but he was trying his heart out to get through it. Little legs + lots of mud = Me and Biscuit in Jackson, Tn! Anyways, he coulda got a little closer to the 2nd but it wouldn’t have mattered. He tried his best and didn’t clock too bad either. I think a 14.6 won it. Jewels Denapoli with an AWESOME run in slack and we ran a 15.6 in the stinkin’ nasty mud. We were that fastest time in our perf, right behind Marne Loosenort with a 15.5. You cant be mad at that. I wanna say the last whole that got paid was a mid 15. Not too bad but still not paying the fuel bill!!    
 

How was the ground, alley, warm up area, etc?
MUD, MUD, and more MUD. This is the 3rd rodeo in the month of May that the ground has been the reason for getting beat. It’s hard to compete with girls that have perfect dry ground the night before and you have to run in a mud hole! But hey, that’s rodeo!!

Warmup area is just in between trailers and small openings here and there. There wasn’t really an alley, just wide open, that’s Biscuit’s style there.

Comments about the rodeo?
The rodeo was pretty good all in all. I can’t complain about anything. 
 

Anything funny or out of the ordinary happen at this rodeo? (or did you see anything funny, hahah)
There wasn’t really anything out of the ordinary that happened on this trip. I had left home the night before to stay with a friend of mine that lives in town and we went to watch the first perf and slack the night before our run. We had a great time!! And managed to stay out of trouble!!
