Where are you from?\u00a0<\/b>Victoria, TX<\/p>\n
When did you start barrel racing?\u00a0<\/b>About 11 years ago<\/p>\n
Are you involved in any other equine events?\u00a0<\/b>Rope Breakaway<\/p>\n
Who or What got you started barrel racing?\u00a0<\/b>I started riding horses and decided that the pasture was not enough for me, my dad rodeoed when he was little and he is what got me started.<\/p>\n
On the road sometimes things happen do you have an usual or funny story?\u00a0<\/b>Getting lost is not on my priority list but it usually seems to happen, along with an occasional blowout and my generator catching on fire<\/p>\n
What was the name of your favorite horse and tell us a little about it.\u00a0<\/b>Leroy, 16 year old bay gelding. We bought him for my sister from Regina Causey and she couldn’t get along with him so he became mine!<\/p>\n
What are some of the events that you have won (or races that stand out in your mind)?\u00a0<\/b>2002 Texas high School Rodeo (region, state, & Nationals) Champion, 2002 College Southern region Barrels, 2002 CPRA Rookie of the year, Bay City and Beaumont Pro rodeos. All of these things were won on Leroy.<\/p>\n
Over the years have you noticed any changes in barrel racing what are the good or bad you’ve seen?\u00a0<\/b>The changes I have seen mostly is barrel races changing to the 4D format and now they are having 5D<\/p>\n
What is do you think of an equal pay out 4d?\u00a0<\/b>I do not like the equal payout or the 4D’s at all. I feel that a horse that runs half a second off should not win more money than a horse that out runs it and falls in the crack<\/p>\n
Do you think of yourself as a professional barrel racer?\u00a0<\/b>yes<\/p>\n
Do you have any advice for anyone just starting out in barrel racing?\u00a0<\/b>Take a lot of advice from people and figure out what works best for you.<\/p>\n
Do you think barrel racing should be limited to women only?\u00a0<\/b>I think that the pro rodeos should be limited to women only, but barrel races to everyone<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
