Did you know about the Horse?
I drew a horse named Lil Brother, he is a full brother to a horse named Brother that has been to the NFR. Lil Brother is a good horse.

 
Tell me about your ride, did you feel strong, did the horse perform the way you thought it would?
He leaned in the chute but other than that he was pretty good. We didn’t have to tie him in. The ride started well, he blew out and I started spurring him. He made a big move to the right and I stayed with him and was handling him good. About 5 seconds in to the ride, my right leg spurred over his neck and I couldn’t get a hold of him. This horse is so strong that he ripped 14 layers of tape in half jerked me down on my head in to the mud. That horse pretty much tortured me, he said “GET OFF” and I did.

 
At this point Scotty, what is your mental state? You have been going strong through Cowboy Christmas and doing a lot of driving, how are you physically and mentally? At this point I am very tired. I have been gone for 5 days and have had a total of about 10 hours sleep and exhaustion is setting in. Everything on my body hurts and is extremely sore. My elbows, my shoulders, groin, back, neck, just about everything is sore but by now my body has just gotten used to being in pain. I can really start to just block the soreness out, the big thing is being tired. When you sleep it isn’t a good sleep, you are sleeping sitting up in a vehicle, I am just looking forward to a good night’s rest.
