September 16&17/ Othello Rodeo

Last Washington rodeo of the year, I can't believe how time flies seems like just a year ago I had started the season and now its nearly over. I checked into my hotel and then headed to the autograph session at Walmart for Coors. JJ Harrison the barrel man for the rodeo, a bull rider who had rode with JJ and I were the only ones there, but I think the people really enjoyed seeing us out in the community.

I went and met my horse Pinky, who is a gelding and was great the whole weekend:) JJ even used him for his Rodeo Queen act in his fat suit and Pinky didn't even get scared. It was very cold and rained during Saturdays performance. Othello holds their queen tryouts during the rodeo, and the Courtney was announced as the 2012 Queen. The fair was also going on so I got a chance to help Kaycee, who was one of the Othello Rodeo Queen contestants sell her pig. Which I had never showed pigs so I sort of just herded it around the ring.

I had a great weekend and was sad to see the last Washington PRCA rodeo be over, but was excited to see my home again since I had been gone for almost a month it seemed.


Happy Trails!!
