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

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 only won $250 all summer. And then I got crippled. I had a horse step on me while performing and it was messed up for a while.

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.

Sometimes a hard day's work is easier than a lot of things you can meet in life.

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.
