Did you know about the Horse?
I drew Miss Daisy and I didn’t know her. I asked around and what I was told was she was a weak hopper.
Tell me about your ride, did you feel strong, did the horse perform the way you thought it would?
Miss Daisy blew out of the gate really well. She took to bucking well and she was kicking flat out behind her, not up over her head but flat. She felt really strong. I spurred her well and I was awarded 68 points! I think my score should have been higher but apparently the judges did not. 
This was a good rodeo. They had a hospitality tent before the rodeo and I don’t eat before I ride so I didn’t get to really enjoy it. Justin Sports Medicine was at this rodeo. It was a good crowd and nice facility.
Up next………………Prescott, AZ!

If the country needs help trying to pull its way out of a recession, perhaps all it needs to do is put a couple of cowboys in Congress.
“We go through two or three recessions every year,” cracked two-time world champion bareback rider Bobby Mote from his Culver, Ore., home. “You know what they say, ÚChicken one day, chicken feathers the next.’ ” (read more)
