| Amberly was chosen because more people would rather watch her run than anyone else they had the option to see/vote on, including former world champions. I didn't vote, but I am excited to watch her run. If you do the math, every night at the NFR, someone gets put in the 2D - really, that's knowing how competitive those horses and riders are. Amberly is competitve, and she should and will probably get a standing ovation. Rodeo, much like Hollywood, is in the entertainment business. With that said, Amberly gets the People's Choice award. Carry on cowgirl! |

And, everytime I see her, I always point out to my husband and my kids - if they are around - what happens when you look at your **** phone or GPS.
Hate that it happened to her, but she sure has turned it into a positive and has set a great example. |
