Hey,
I just wanted to thank you for you all you guys do, I had a kick ass time.
I use to rodeo when I was a kid mainly bulls and bareback.
My dad had picked a wild mustang for my mom from a ranch down south, he ended up with a broken tail bone trying to make that horse fearless of water in our pond. Needless to say my mom never rode that horse but I did, he was the fastest horse in the valley with a heart so big he would never give up ( allot like my dad ). Anyway that horse was so quick to respond, I remember running around trees in the mountains pretending to barrel race but I had been to a few rodeo's when I was very young and I knew it was a girls sport, yet I knew if ole Diablo and I could compete we would kick butt and we all know how that would go over with the ladies. So I never did barrel racing nor did ole Diablo rest his sole.
I no longer ride horses, bulls or bareback, now I ride an iron horse ( ole Blue ) and for the first time attended the Pro Moto Rodeo, competed in barrel racing, pole bending and slow ride at Springdale. I intended to be an observer until I heard some guy talking about competing in the barrel racing Girls / Guys don't matter, hell I went right over and signed up. I am certain that my iron horse and I will compete next year
Thank you, Damn good time !!
