Scotty NeSmith, Ft Worth

Date, Rodeo Name and Location
Saturday, May 23^rd, Jackson, TN PRCA

Which horse did you draw?
Sisters Best was the horse’s name 

 
Stock Contractor?
Frontier Rodeo Company, this was a first time PRCA Rodeo

 
Did you know about the Horse?
Frontier has some really nice bucking horses. They didn’t bring their “A” string for this rodeo but did bring their “B” string. They only buck these horses around 4 or 5 times a year. Matt Bright had Sisters Best in Corpus Christi, so I was able to get some info on her. I asked the stock contractor about her as well because I heard she jumps about two jumps and then falls down.

 
Tell me about your ride, did you feel strong, did the horse perform the way you thought it would? They tied her in the chute but she actually stood pretty good. She bailed out of the chute and turned back for one round and was kicking and felt really good. I was spurring her well and the 2^nd time around she was still kicking good. Then she started to feel like she may go down so I leaned to the left and she fell to the right and slammed me in to the ground. I waited for help and no help came. Finally the pickup man threw a rope around her and helped her get up and I jumped off. I got a reride and that horse name was Good Eye. They didn’t turn the generators on so the arena was pretty dark by the time I rode this horse.  It was actually a good ride, I was thinking a 78 or 79.  I got off and asked the Judge and he said “It sounded real good Scotty but I couldn’t see your it”  He didn’t mark it very good, he gave me a 75, which was one hole out of the money. The good thing is that I rode well and I was still confident and feeling good from the week before.
