It’s & this 🔥 reminds me of my years in getting to the arena early to pay entry fees & wait for the rough stock draw. Finding your bucking horse in a stock pen, trying to make friends with the animal before the crowd filled the seats & the lights came on for the show. It was the horse, you & the 8 seconds that sometimes felt like forever. I competed at all three levels of the sport, NationalHighSchoolRodeoAssn NIRA- National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association & IPRA Rodeo Made my professional rodeo debut at 17 years young almost a year before I enrolled at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College with their rodeo team. This 📸 was taken at the National High School Finals Rodeo in Gillette, Wyoming a few weeks after I graduated from Mauldin High School just like Kevin Garnett said after he won a 🏆 with the Boston Celtics
