Tracey Goodman at Fort Smith

Ok, so its been a while since I’ve stopped by to give you guys an update!! The winter has been kinda slow and we have just been going to some of the local barrel races to keep Biscuit and I in tune with each other. One of the first rodeos back since late fall, we enter. Its the Liberty Bowl Rodeo in Memphis, Tn. We drew up in slack which is nearly miserable at this rodeo considering its a one night rodeo and slack is after the performance. Not to mention they start the slack off with the rest of the bull riders, then go into all of the roping, then us girls! So we usually get to run around two and three o’clock in the morning. By this time, its Biscuit and my bedtime and I had to be at work in the morning!! Plus, its freezing and rainy. Now I know what your thinking…Cowgirl up, right!! Well, thats exactly what we did. So from the performance, Heather Moore was winning it with a 14.2. She had a very pretty run and I was knew that was going to be a hard time to change. Biscuit warmed up great and was a complete gentleman. We had watched the ground all through the performance and it was ok…maybe looked a little slick but nothing horrible. So they call our name and I send him down the alley. He eats the paint off of all three cans and heads home, giving me all he has with his little short legs. We stopped the clock at a 14.1 to take the lead. Thank the good Lord, our time held through the other 40+ head and we take home the first place check!! I was unbelievably excited and so pleased with my pony considering I hadn’t seen him in a week because he was in Alabama working on his new work out program! Now rodeo season is starting to crank up and we are getting really excited!! So stick around…and hopefully look for more GREAT news from us!!!!!
