I'd like to apologize to everyone for my lack of recent posts. This time of year is a total blur with all the rodeo finals taking place and all the other pieces we have in motion growing the business.
Congratulations to each and every family for their success this year making it into the various Association Finals. It has been extremely exciting to hear the stories and help you in anyway that we can.
So, in keeping with the current trends (Celebrity Bull Riding), we thought it would be appropriate to lend a hand to a good friend who has said "I must ride a bull" since almost the day we met. It was all but set in stone on our return trip from the Denver Markets, however the reality is fast approaching for Adam Steen with Transition Capital Management in Des Moines, Iowa.
Some of you may have read into my sarcasm related to the PBR's Celebrity Bull Riding. I honestly can not recommend that anyone without some serious level of commitment and interest in the sport ever just go jump on a bull and "try it". Perhaps go visit one of Sankey's Extreme Rodeo Schools so they minimally align you with the correct level bull for your skills. Otherwise you might be playing a serious game of Russian roulette and praying the EMT's know how to fix you.
Now Adam on the other hand is athletic by nature and has a desire to do this for more than some quick PR. My fear is we may have just turned him into a bull riding machine, for that I apologize to his family in advance. However, we're not quite there yet. For those of you that don't know Adam, he is a fourth generation baseball pitcher and had a quick run pitching for the Philadelphia Philly's.
Soooooo, baseball, horses and bulls?
Hmmmm.
Definitely not related.... so an adjustment is to say the least.
Tonight we are heading to the practice pen to migrate from riding horses bareback into actually running in a Jr Bull for Round 1.
Friday night in Webster City Iowa is the official first crack at it for Adam.
We'll keep you posted!!!
Spur' It Up!!!
PS: You are all invited to join us after the event for free burgers and hang out with us for the evening!!!
