This is it thought the rider as she looked around at the other riders beside her. The times were though && hard to beat and the rider knew she had to run to fast and stay in her seat. This is a rodeo and all day while she waited for her event was thought about the perfect run as she sat by the fence. This was no ordinary rodeo it was the best of the best. As a little girl she dreamed of coming here and being seen she knows her time was up but never expected to be next when the accouncer said she was on deck. She walked into the arena Steadly.......took a deep breath.........and pointed her horses head to the first barrel and took off..........

The turn was good but not good enough, second barrel had to be fast and smooth as the turned she felt her horse in the groove. Running to the third barrel her horse pushed himself to the limit. She gave him a kick then a whip...........

The crowd was slient they knew it was good...the announcer lifted his hat, stood up and said "we have a new leader but a new arena record" tears came rolling down her face as the crowd stood up and cheered out her name.
