Personal Narrative-Rodo Training

I have spent most of my life surrounded by horses, cows, and goats. I have been stepped on, thrown off horses, penned up against gates, had surgery, traveled to different states, I am even on TV and have more pieces of flesh missing from my legs than I care to remember. It is just how rodeo is there are risks every time someone steps into the rodeo arena. I have many all-around titles and various awards from rodeo.

My trainer was coaching me at a rodeo to show me how to get my horse into the gate because she is very hyper when it is her time to run.

I needed surgery to have it fixed but rodeo was not over yet, so I finished the whole rodeo season then had surgery to repair my knee. I did have to stop doing some of my events because my knee was not strong enough to support my weight. I recovered and am back doing what I love today; I do still have to wear a knee brace though. I have traveled to many places for rodeo and hope to go to more places and get to experience new things. I hope to gain more titles as I continue to rodeo and do what I love. I know every time I choose to get on a horse and in the pen something could go wrong but it is all worth it. I am going to continue riding till I get to old to be able to enjoy it. So, with the help of my trainer and the will to win I will keep working and get better and faster every
