Which horse(s) are you taking to the finals and what are their lifetime earnings?
I'm taking Danielle's mount Thundernlighting (2007 AQHA sorrel mare by Form Ten Ninty x My Name Is Betsy by Sir Austin Duncan, Wyoming Bred) with lifetime earnings approx $40,000; and Goodgollymsmolly (2011 AQHA mare by Dash Ta Fame x Frenchys Frost by Frenchmans Guy, North Dakota Bred) LTE approx $5000.

What is your horse(s)' style when running barrels and what's unique or fun about their personality?
Lightning is a pretty solid seasoned mare , she can be a little tricky on her 1st barrel but 2nd and 3rd you gotta ride her right in there. Danielle has run her for the past 6 yrs and they have a special partnership, so I'm trying to take pointers from Danielle on how to ride her! Goodgollymsmolly, I have only owned for 6 months. She's very fiery and aggressive, and likes to take over at times, but we're slowly coming to an understanding.
 
What are some favorite memories/highlights and obstacles you faced getting to the 2020 circuit finals?
PG Eye Bully Fame (Rosie) 6 yr old AQHA  mare was the ride that got me to the Finals. The highlight of my early part of the season was being the 1st runner out at Killdeer rodeo over the 4th July run, and holding on for a 9th hole check out of 240 plus girls.
 
When you're headed to the rodeo what do you listen to: inspirational podcasts, music, audio books?
I listen to mostly country music with some 80's and 90's pop thrown in.
