It wasn't too illustrious, I'll tell you that. I started riding steers and little bulls when I was ten. Rode barebacks through high school and into college. Finally came across a minute amount of wisdom and switched to team roping a few years later. While I had some fun, my rodeo days weren't much to brag about. My mother, Sally, on the other hand was the 1947-1948 world champion bull rider in the All-Girl Rodeo Association. Was a well-known trick-rider after that, and that IS something to brag (or boast) about.
