rodeowithjoker - 2017-07-03 9:38 AM My brother was in the bull riding at Bloomfield Sunday night. Clifford and I survived the perf and made a mostly good run at Leon. Too bad I quit riding a stride early and hit the second. :( I think if I hadn't done that, he would have been in the 14s since he had to dodge/kick the barrel on his way out of the turn.

We're headed to Hepler KS tonight, then we might see you at Exira. Hope the ground is dry and decently worked there and at Whiting!! 
I will pm you my phone #, would love to meet! We were sitting 5th after the perf at whiting, but got bumped out by the time slack wrapped up. Still our best run of the weekend and sitting .6 off a smoking 15.3 run in the lead. But, we've left 9 of 9 cans standing the last 3 days and that's also an accomplishment for this horse. I'm only going as hard as I am because my husband team ropes so the fuel is sunk to get here either way, very much a seasoning year.
I just now got on the computer & BHW. Pretty sure I watched you go in to run at Exira before it started raining! They sure set that pen up different from the past years and I don't know what happened but Clifford NEVER saw the second barrel there. We managed to run a 15.7 at Whiting even though I know he was tired from something like 1400 miles in the trailer over a 5-day span so he didn't fire quite as hard as he normally does.

My gray won Hepler, so that was great, and Matt didn't end up too badly hurt after having his horse fall with him and kick him at Exira, then he got kicked and stepped on at Whiting. Once he figured out where he was (middle of the rodeo arena is a perfectly legit answer at the end of the 4th of July....towns & states would be far too difficult to remember LOL), he seemed to be mostly normal.
Yep it was just sprinkling when we ran, little sorrel horse with buckskin helping him in. That 2nd was our only downed barrel in 4 days so I was super pleased! He's getting stronger and stronger. I didn't see Matt's wreck at Exira - so glad it sounds like he came out of that ok! Were you guys by chance talking about bucking horses switching directions and having ground preferences on the way back to the trailer? If so that was me that turned around and had a good laugh about it! I saw the Kansas plates on the trailer later and wondered - but I'm too much of an initial introvert to go be like hey, are you rodeowithjoker?! Haha. Nice job on the win at Hepler! If you ever need a place to layover SE of Des Moines let me know!

Yes that was us talking about horses having opinions about the ground! LOL. I was on the big sorrel with the turquoise mask on.....#14 at Exira. I think Cliff and I were both too focused on NOT hitting the 2nd so we never even saw it....Oh well. They had the barrels right on the fences there but as small as the pen was, they didn't have much choice. I had been hoping to run my gray since we won Exira last year, but he wouldn't have gotten out of a lope with that side gate & short pen. Hopefully the rest will have him ready to do well this weekend! Maybe we'll see you at Woodbine on Saturday. :)
Matt's wreck there was pretty tame....horse circled to the left side and slipped where it wasn't worked up. It hopped up and kicked him as it left to go back in front of the chutes. Dirty sucker! Whiting was a little worse since he caught a hoof to the head, got a serious kick to the shoulder and was knocked out immediately.
