You get to where you kind of like it, and It's a habit That's hard to break. I still find myself sittin' in a cafe, like a pizza parlor.

You'll probably get three horses and you have to draw a good buckin' horse. That's mighty tough.

If you're lucky enough to draw a good horse, you still have to ride him, then the next ones. So It's probably 80 percent luck and 20 percent skill.

I always was one who didn't take things for granted. But I think I do appreciate things more now. The small moments of joy that we find each day are so much more precious now than when I looked at them before.

In fact my son subscribes to Pro Bull Rider magazine.

I really didn't go that hard, although a couple of years I did. Some guys work 125 to 130 rodeos a year. they're just goin' all the time.

I can remember sittin in a cafe when I first started in rodeo, and waitin until somebody got done so I could finish what they left.
