There’s a picture challenge going around on Facebook to share your five favorite horse/rodeo pics. My boo Michelle tagged me to do it but I ended up sharing seven because it was too hard to narrow it down and if I only did five then barrel racing and goat tying were going to be left out! I posted it on Facebook so I’ll post it here too!

| Tying goats at the Hays college rodeo on Michelle’s awesome steed, Stitch. Muddy as all get-out. |
 |
| The horse that helped me make my comeback into rodeo after a 5 year hiatus – Ace |
 |
| My first college rodeo as a Wildcat – made the short round at Colby and broke the barrier (surprise). |
 |
NWOSU college rodeo in Alva, OK.
I worked my ass off for two years at Fort Scott Community College – practicing six days a week, shredding straw bales and running thousands of miles down the road – so I could step up my game and be competitive with the great ropers in the Central Plains region. Under the guidance and coaching of Chad Cross and Larry Irish, it worked! I was a FSCC Greyhound before I was a Wildcat and I am forever grateful to my coaches for all they did for me and Doc! |
 |
| Good Lord, he was an amazing horse. Doc is a pasture pet now, until we have kids. |
 |
| Short-round at Pratt Community College rodeo. Won the long round and finished third in the average (broke the barrier again – surprise). |
 |
| Hays College Rodeo – probably my favorite picture of Doc and I. This one hangs in my office and he hangs out in the barn |
