![]() It is not profitable for me to go across the country to try and win money to be able to go limited rodeos. It is real hard to go down the rodeo when there are rodeos that limit their entries. Yes it does cross my mine, but when I said times have changed, they have. It's a lot of work to get to the NFR, and then it’s work and time consuming for 10 more days. I really like riding my colts, as I have a lot of patience with them. Times have changed, and I do have some bad memories from the NFR. I will be riding two Fire Water Flit horses: one I raised that is now eight, I C Elegance and a 7-year-old gelding " Flyin Hi Firewater"ĭo you ever see yourself going for the NFR again? Or is that always in the back of your mind? I have another Fiesta colt for the futurities this year plus I will go to some rodeos. The pattern is set square with the alley, but not square with the arena which means it is set at an angle. I should have went more down the middle of the alley and go straighter to the first barrel (right). I started to the left of the alley way and when I crossed the time line, I crossed it to the left of the electric eye which made my time be a little longer. My horse worked nice, but I realized why my time was not as I expected. It is going great!!! The first set of colts out of Fiesta were 4-year-olds last year (2009) and the the colts that were in the futurities estimated $80,000. Tell me about your breeding program and how that's going?

Trade horses and go back south for a few rodeos and the Ft. I enjoy the holidays with my family and return back to Texas the end of January, stay there for two or three months and come back to Pueblo. Tell me how you split your time between states and why? No, I do not anymore-I will just ride colts out of Fiesta as I sell the eggs to her. Worth and when I go to Texas I only take three horses with me, and leave the others in Pueblo. She became lame at nine and now is producing babies.Īnywhere from three to six-depends on my schedule and my location. My claim to fame is Firewater Fiesta, she was a winner in the barrel futurities, derby’s and pro competition. I train and raise horses and have been successful on several of them. I was a gymnast for seven years and a cheerleader also in junior high and high school. I competed in the goat tying, breakaway roping, barrels and poles, and also team roped. I ran barrels at the age of five-high school rodeo-college rodeo-became a professional at the age of 13 so I could go with my father. How long barrel racing and were you doing something else before that or has it always been barrel racing? We grew up in a rodeo family and we have been extremely thankful and successful but it has been a lot of hard work, but I wouldn't change it for anything. ![]() ![]() I was put on a horse the day a came home from the hospital-it has been a part of me forever.
