RODEO? I was riding horses before i could walk, started barrel racing when i was 5 years old and started rodeoing full
time in 2005. WHAT OTHER SPORTS OTHER THAN RODEO DO YOU ENJOY? V'Ball, B'Ball, Soccer and Badminton WHAT
WAS THE FUNNIEST THING THAT YOU HAVE EXPIERENCED AT A RODEO? On my way home from the third barrel my shirt got
caught on the horn and i flashed everyone. 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 ARE/IS YOUR FAVORITE WESTERN MOVIE? 8 Seconds all time FAVORITE!!! 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.
