Amber Mostoller Rodeo Update: July 4th, South Bend, Indiana
We woke up the next morning to TONS or rain. Mesa’s dad watched the radar and wasn’t sure if he wanted her going or not b/c of running in the mud. I packed up my trailer and was going anyway b/c my dad was going to be there and then I was going to visit my aunt and little brother on the way to Ellicottville, NY after South Bend. Her dad decided to let her go at the last minute so we switched trailers again and headed out for South Bend. We drove through rain the entire trip but when we got to South Bend the arena was DRY. We arrived during the steer wrestling, and I was in the perf so I saddled up and headed to the arena. Abby had a pretty smooth run, but pulled out of the 3rd a little bit and we again ended up a couple holes out. We ran a 16.2 with a few mistakes and a 15.9 won it! Mesa had an awesome run on Junior and ended up 2nd with a 15.9 as well.
