How was your mental outlook going in to this rodeo?

My mental outlook was not good. I really didn’t want to go to this rodeo at all. I had heard that horse was not good and I let myself get negative about it. I should have stayed positive but instead I let negativity sneak in. I hadn’t been riding very well and I was down about that. I know that I should have stayed positive and I learned a good lesson.

 
Tell me about your ride, did you feel strong, did the horse perform the way you thought it would? Well first off my buddies lied! Haha They had said she was weak and she wasn’t weak at all. She was really strong! She blew out of the chute and about the third jump, she popped my elbow really hard, this is what we call “giving you a stinger.” This caused some scar tissue to break away from my elbow and my hand to go numb. I couldn’t squeeze the riggin with a numb hand so therefore I can’t lift on my riggin, which made it impossible to stay on. I lasted about five seconds. I went back to my old riggin this time and it felt great.

Comments about the rodeo? Committee, hospitality, etc.
This is a great rodeo, it is outdoors and the hospitality and committee doing a fantastic job.

I left Claremore with a brand new attitude!! I came in to this rodeo pretty down and negative and left pumped and ready to go. Stay tuned, up next……Conway, Arkansas!
