Worm's Pedigree - click to enlarge<\/p><\/div>\n

-What is the name of your horse?\u00a0 A Streak of Rita aka Worm<\/span>
\n-How old is he? He is six years old<\/span>
\n-How long have you been running barrels on him?\u00a0 I raised him and then started going to futurities on him when he was <\/span>four.\u00a0 I started rodeoing on him when he was five.<\/span>
\n-What is it you like best about him?\u00a0 He tries hard every time, knows his job and does what I say.<\/span>
\n-What kind of saddle do you use on him?\u00a0 Old Circle Y Sports Saddle<\/span><\/p>\n

-What kind of bit do you use in him?\u00a0 Handmade twisted wire gag<\/span>
\n-How do you keep your horse in shape while traveling?\u00a0 I ride him everyday and do lots of long trotting and loping.\u00a0 He doesn’t require\u00a0\u00a0 too much work. <\/span>
\n-Can you tell me about your training & riding style?\u00a0 It depends on the horse but i try to fit it to the horse.\u00a0 Dee Butterfield started Worm so when I got him I was able to take him right to the pattern.\u00a0 I let him do it the way he wants and what works for him.\u00a0 I don’t try and make him do it how I want.<\/span>
\n-What lead you to be a barrel racer?\u00a0 It’s just something I have always wanted to do.\u00a0 My family has always been involved in it.\u00a0 My grandpa was a founder of the PRCA.\u00a0 When it went on strike he was the 3rd man to sign the petition.<\/span><\/span><\/span>
\n-If you were to share a training\/rodeo tip what would it be?\u00a0 To not worry about others and what they are doing and what they are doing with their horses.\u00a0 You need to focus on and do what works for you and your own horse.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Trula would like to thank the sponsors and all the rodeo committees. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
