Yes I have a couple videos of me n Grasshopper but I don't hold a candle to CJ on him.

Location: At the Brownderosa | Charmayne goes into detail at her clinic about confidence & tells the story of when she first started going to the rodeos (keep in mind she was still a kid) how the ladies treated her. Horrible stuff they would say to her then she would just go smoke them, lol. It was just so unreal to hear her tell the story knowing & seeing all she had accomplished since then. She is an amazing competitor, that is for sure. I'd love to see her back there again next year. |

He is James Jolly Taylor. Here's his pedigree. I love that horse more and more.

Thanks for sharing the video! You look pretty darn good on him too. Love his running style. |

| What I think was the most impressive about the horse was his demeanor. I am just guessing here, but since she has not been rodeoing for a while, that he has never been in that type of huge environment and look how he handled it.  I wonder where the biggest venue is he has even ran at with that type of crowd and noise level?? |

Location: Riding Crackhead. | LRQHS - 2014-03-03 10:13 AM missroselee - 2014-03-03 10:12 AM I had never known much about Grasshopper but I was confident there wasn't a horse Charmayne would bring that she couldn't do well on. Like her or not, she IS that good.
I was very happy to see her run well, and even more impressed with grasshopper. He was smooth, flawless, and they work well as a team! ...and, now we know why she named a bit after him lol.
But was she using that bit on him? That's the next question. LOL |

Had he been in any type of environment close to what the American was? I really thought more horses would have an issue with that especially the more jackpot type horses. Grasshopper didn't seem to be fazed by a thing. Its crazy that most of the horses couldn't find any rate at the 1st but Grasshopper found a wee bit too much and came over the top of it. Dang.  |

Don't cut yourself short. There was a reason Charmayne hand picked you to ride her horses. |

No he's never been in that environment however Grasshopper has the personality that not much bothers him anyways. Streak is the same way in that outside influences don't hinder him. (Half brother). Keep in mind that CJ set his first barrel up to help not going by it. Watching all the horses go by she was ready to help him get that angle perfect and it was just a bit much but certainly nothing to scoff at! The bit is one in her line but it's older I'll see if I can find it somewhere n post it. |

Location: Colorado | Rockin BS - 2014-03-03 10:39 AM Charmayne goes into detail at her clinic about confidence & tells the story of when she first started going to the rodeos (keep in mind she was still a kid) how the ladies treated her. Horrible stuff they would say to her then she would just go smoke them, lol. It was just so unreal to hear her tell the story knowing & seeing all she had accomplished since then. She is an amazing competitor, that is for sure. I'd love to see her back there again next year.
I would sure like to hear the other side of that story. There were many of the top gals who helped CJ and her Mom a bunch. Would suspect the positive way out weighed the negative.

There's always some that will play mind games with you. I wasn't tough enough. Or maybe I wasn't discerning enough to know who to listen to. |

I'm sure she took advantage of seeing all those girls go before her and overshoot the first. Absolutely nothing to scoff at. Soooooooo......does this make her get the itch again? |
