How was your horse in the chute?
The tied him in but he wasn’t bad
Did you learn about the horse before hand?
Yeah, my buddy Josh had him about six times. The lowest he had ever scored was a an 84! I had the horse that I thought I could get a good ride on and I was really excited.
Tell me about your ride, did you feel strong, did the horse perform the way you thought it would? The bronc bailed out of the chute and really kind of sucked back and jumped about four feet up in the air. He really did buck good but unfortunately my riggin didn’t feel right the entire ride. I never felt good on him and he bucked me off at about 7 seconds. I threw that riggin in the car and got my old riggin back out. I sold the other one, just never did work right with me and now I am back to my old riggin.
Comments about the rodeo? Committee, hospitality, etc.
Excellent Rodeo! I would say it is one of the best mid rodeo’s all year. This rodeo is always packed and the livestock is great!
