| Looks like Sabrina Ketchum won't be running Swivel Ta Fame. Per her FB page:
 Before speculation and gossip reach the airways. Swivel is on the injured reserved list, I have the best vets in the country working on him. The timing is heart braking, and while I'll dearly miss having the opportunity to run him at The American, I'm not running an injured horse for any amount of money. Uno gets the call.

Own It and Move On
Location: The edge of no where |  I really thought he would win this, I love this horse. Makes me so sad for them. Her mare is plenty tough as well.
How cool is this post?As the much publicized RFD-TV The American Rodeo approaches, the interviews increase, the electricity builds and the question arises what does it really mean? Every time I run down an alley it's important to me. I love what I do, and what I do has made me who I am. The sacrifices I make to be out here, assure a drive to win that many will never understand. The opportunity to compete at an inaugural event that will impact the future of rodeo is amazing. So what does the American mean for us? The future. RFD-TV has stepped up and presented a progressive event to a sport that hasn't seen significant change in several generations. There's a 1 in 21 chance that it will be life changing for me on Sunday, but there's a 100% chance that when the lights go out Sunday night, rodeo will never be the same.
