WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE TO INDIAN YOUTH ABOUT RODEO OR ANYTHIN IN GENERAL? Try your best and never give up, even when times are tough!
WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE TO INDIAN YOUTH WHO WANTED TO PARTICIPATE IN RODEO BUT DIDNT HAVE THE RESOURCES OR SUPPORT TO GET INVOLVED? Stick around with people who are intrested in what your intrested in. They'll help you and possibly become your travelling partner. The rodeo contestants and personal are all family and we help out anyone we could.
ARE THERE SONGS THAT PUMP YOU UP BEFORE YOU RIDE OR ROPE? I listen to anything that has a good beat to it and for sure has to be able to pump you up.
WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE MORE OF AT INDIAN RODEOS? More contestants, way more rodeos throughout the summer and more added money.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE MUSIC? Country songs that have lyrics that i can relate to and almost anything that has a good beat to it. I like music that makes you wanna dance.
WHAT WAS YOUR MOST MEMORABLE RIDE OR RUN? In 2008 at SBRA Finals i made an awesome run and almost won the 2D saddle.
WHO IS YOUR ALL TIME HERO? Charmayne James and my Grandpa Roy Ross!!!
WHAT INDIAN COWBOY/COWGIRL INFLUENCED YOU TO RODEO? Well my grandparents started me with horses but i went to my first actual rodeo out of Meadow Lake with my cousin Karen Lavallee. She actually got me into going to PIRA rodeos.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO THANK SPONSORS OR ANYONE FOR YOUR SUCCESS IN RODEO? I would like to thank my grandparents (Roy and Jenny) for taking me and my horse to all the rodeos, my family for being there for me even when times were tough, and also my friends, they always could put a smile on my face even after a bad run and they always were there to give me tips on how to make something better.
