Which horse(s) are you taking to the finals and what are their lifetime earnings?
Bit A Fame N Honor "Ruby" and Top of the Sail "Rope" (2004 Brown Gelding by Sail Or Sam Silver x Bee Leo On Command by Cee Zee Top, Montana bred). Ruby has $29,210 EquiStat earnings and Rope has $50,170.
What is your horse(s)' style when running barrels and what's unique or fun about their personality?
Ruby is a ball of fire! She loves her job and is very quick footed and gritty.
What are some favorite memories/highlights and obstacles you faced getting to the 2020 circuit finals?
It was a very hard year. Ruby was sidelined with a right hind high suspensory injury for 8 months. It's been a long road trying to figure out what was causing her so much pain. She is a tough one! She has been in a stall and small pen for 10 months now so it is always a little interesting trying to warm her up. Of course COVID made the rodeo season tough because we didn't have very many rodeos to go to either.
When you're headed to the rodeo what do you listen to: inspirational podcasts, music, audio books?
I love listening to Joel Osteen's podcast, the Live Out Loud Show podcast, and the Goal Digger podcast.
