Most looking forward to doing/experiencing in Las Vegas:
Making 10 runs in the Thomas and Mack. I have dreamed of running down that alley my whole life!

Describe your 2017 season:
Mind blowing, thrilling, a roller coaster and many lessons learned.

Describe your horse's running and turning style and how they will do with the Thomas and Mack set-up:
Sister is exceptionally quick between the barrels. She doesn't waste time, and I think in that small arena, her efficiency will help us be fast. TJ is a big horse and makes really big, strong turns. Both of them are very honest and don't try to hit a barrel, which has been a great asset to me. I think they would both feed off the energy in the Thomas & Mack.

Which reality show would you last the longest on: The Voice, Dancing With the Stars, America's Got Talent or Survivor and tell us why?
Survivor. I'm pretty tough I would say. The others require some major talents that I definitely do not have!

Which former World Champion Barrel Racer would you seek rodeo advice from and why?
There is a lot to learn from each of them, but the one I admire the most and would probably wear out with questions is Sherry Cervi.
