Lisa Novak chats with OTRR about being a WPRA Director

What are some of the obstacles that you face being the director for the GLC?
That’s a great question! It is very difficult to be both a barrel racer and a director! I have learned to handle both jobs but it has been very hard to do so. There are times when I am getting ready to barrel race and I am needed as a director. Many times people forget that I am there to compete like they are, and come up to me as I am getting ready to run and have questions. All I can say is that I have learned to multi-task very well!
What type of music do you listen to that pumps you up for your run? Do you have a theme song?
I really don’t listen to any certain type of music but I do have certain songs that remind me of how fun rodeoing is! I always get pumped at intermission listening to the music before the barrel race!
I know that most rodeo athletes try to eat healthy while out on the road, what do you grab for when you want to splurge?
Ha! Pepsi is my favorite but when I really splurge I get kwik Trip sugar cookies! Yummmm!
Do any of your horses that you are currently hauling have an annoying habits that drives you crazy?
YES!!!!!! They all think they need to be together so when one leaves, they all throw a fit. Drives me CRAZY!!!!
When you are not doing something with your horses, what do you like to do for fun?
I enjoy spending time with my family! Evenings together watching TV and eating popcorn are what I call great fun! I also enjoy cooking! Yes cooking! I have stacks of cookbooks that I drag out every night and try to find something new to try!
OTRR would like to give a huge THANK YOU to Lisa Novak, for taking the time to be a part of our website!! We hope to have you back soon!
