Scotty NeSmith Update: PRCA Rodeo, Monroe, La
Scotty NeSmith
Date, Rodeo Name and Location
On March 21, I attended the Monroe, LA PRCA Rodeo
What horse did you draw?
40 Mayday
Stock Contractor?
Stace Smith was the stock contractor but the 40 Mayday was from Brookman Rodeo Company
How was your horse in the chute?
The horse wasn’t too bad in the chute. He was tied in, he jumped around a bit but he wasn’t bad.
Did you learn about the horse before hand?
I knew the horse. I called Matt Smith who had ridden him about 3 months ago and talked to him a bit about the horse. The horse was an NFR horse several years ago so I knew him.
Tell me about your ride, did you feel strong, did the horse perform the way you thought it would?
The horse blew out of the chute and faded to the left. He was bucking good and the ride was going well. I was riding him good. He got to the fence and turned right and that is when he got me at the end of my arm and started jerking on me and I came off.
Up next for Scotty: PRCA Rodeo, Lake City, Florida. Stay tuned……..

Tell me about your ride, did you feel strong, did the horse perform the way you thought it would?
After he stood so well in the chute, when the opened the gate he jumped out and kind of hopped up in the air. He blew up kind of like a colt would. He didn’t kick very much. I did ride him and scored 73 points. It took 84 to place so I was out of the money.
Comments about the rodeo? committee, hospitality, etc.
This was a good rodeo. The committee supplied water behind the chutes for the rodeo contestants. They also had a hospitality room with good food for us. Over all it was a nice rodeo.
How far did you have to travel to get to this rodeo?
I came 14 hours to get to the rodeo in Okeechobee, Florida on Saturday. I only had to travel about an hour to get to this one. Now I am headed to Austin, TX and Josh Shackleford from Missouri is hauling with me. We have a 19 hour drive.

The horse was good, stood well and didn’t need to be tied in. He ran forward when they pulled the gate.
Did you learn about the horse before hand?
Yeah, I knew the horse. An amateur contractor owned him and I got on him 3 or 4 times at college rodeos. I pulled an 80 something every time I rode him before.
Tell me about your ride, did you feel strong, did the horse perform the way you thought it would?
This horse blew out strong and hard. A lot harder than I remembered. My foot came down under my riggin and he popped me on to my back. Then he jerked me down and I landed on my head. When I rode him in the past at college rodeos I was riding for $50 or so bucks and covered him. Tonight I was riding for $1500 and he bucked me off.
Comments about the rodeo? committee, hospitality, etc
It was a good rodeo. It was a fair rodeo and it pulled a good crowd. It was a long performance, it was around 3 hours.
