Brooke Lane is back to talk more about the Lynn Mckenzie Clinic…..

Brooke Lane and A Royal Dash

Brooke Lane was nice enough to talk to OTRR about her experience at a Lynn Mckenzie Barrel Racing Clinic. This is Part II, if you missed Part I please click here.

Was there anything you were nervous or concerned about going in to this clinic?

The main thing that I was concerned about was forgetting something! 🙂  My main focus was just to learn a lot, and to improve our time.  Also, Lynn brought all kinds of bits to try as well as her saddles if you wanted to try them on your horses.  Lots of people tried her bits, and everyone that I talked to that tried her saddle really liked it.  Since I just bought a new saddle a couple years ago, I didn’t want to be tempted to buy another one 🙂

After the clinic was over, what did you go home with? What was the one most significant thing that you learned?

I took a lot of notes during Lynn’s demonstrations, so that I could remember everything in a couple months.  Lynn and Murray are both very down to earth people, and have such positive attitudes.  Lynn’s story is very inspiring because she was a regular school teacher working, and riding horses as a hobby when Magnolia Missile came into her life.  She had a regular job, husband, and family when she started to pursue the NFR, and I think most of us can relate to that.   

The most significant thing that I learned was that straighter is faster, and smoother is faster.  Lynn and Murray have really done their research.  They count strides, and have figured out exactly how much time each extra stride is costing you.  A short stride and a long stride take the same amount of time, but the long stride covers more ground so a long stride is faster.  She said that barrel racing is won in the turn.   

Their approach is different, but it makes sense and it’s been proven.  Lynn and Murray said that their approach is all about trying to make it easier for the horse.  Our horses aren’t made to peel the paint off barrels.  They want to give them room to get around the barrel, and keep the forward momentum going.  I think I will really focus more on positioning my horse, and lining him up for success.  I don’t have it all figured out yet, but I have the foundation to keep working on it.  The McKenzie’s also gave each of us a sheet with the dimensions of the cones and barrels on it so that we can set the teardrop up in our own arena for practice.   

Would you recommend a Lynn Mckenzie Clinic to barrel racers?

I would defiantly recommend a Lynn McKenzie clinic to barrel racers.  Come with an open mind, and you will learn tons.  It will probably be different than what you’ve been taught, but I really believe that it does work.  Both Lynn and Murray are very knowledgeable about horses and barrel racing.  They have such a positive outlook, and really care for horses.    

Okay, on a scale of 1 to 10 and 1 being the lowest and 10 being the highest, how much fun did you have?????

I had a 10 🙂  A weekend of meeting new people, learning, spending time with my horse, and barrel racing…does it get better?? 🙂

Brooke, thank you so much for taking the time out of your busy schedule to talk to us. We wish you the best of luck this summer!!

Brooke Lane talks to OTRR about Attending a Lynn Mckenzie Clinic

Brooke Lane and A Royal Dash

One of OTRR’s fans Brooke Lane recently attened a Lynn Mckenzie Barrel Racing Clinic. Brooke agreed to report back to OTRR on what she learned and the experiences she had. …………

Your Name:  Brooke Lane

Your Horses Name:  A Royal Dash

How long you have been barrel racing:  2 years competing

Where do you currently live:  Bucyrus, Ohio (middle of no where :))

Event:  Lynn McKenzie Barrel Racing Clinic

Dates: April 23-25th

Location:  Newbury, OH – Blue Lakes Farm

How many Participants:  23

What inspired you to go to a Lynn Mckenzie Clinic?

I was inspired to attend a Lynn Mckenzie clinic because she has a good reputation for being a good barrel racer, and she made the NFR twice.  I saw her speak at the Equine Affair last year about pole bending, and wanted to know more about her techniques in barrel racing.  I also asked opinions on BHW from people who had been to her clinics before, and got only positive feedback. 

Going into the clinic what kind of instruction where you looking for with you horse? Any things specific you wanted to work on? 

Before the clinic, I came up with 3 goals that I wanted to achieve over the weekend. 

1. LEARN. 
2. Improve my time at that arena. (I went to a race there the weekend before to gauge where I was at)
3. Build the confidence to add speed.

And yes, I accomplished all three, even though I’m still working on #3.  I know that the confidence will come with good preparation and experience though.

Was this your first barrel racing clinic?

 This was not my first barrel racing clinic.  I went to an Ed Wright clinic two years ago and a Jackie Jatzlau clinic last year.  Each clinic I’ve been to has taught a different style.  They all teach different hand movements, but they all emphasized forward movement in the turn.  I think it’s interesting to learn each professional’s style, and how they became successful.  I’ve been able to take different pieces from each clinic, and apply them to my own barrel racing.     

What was the “routine” of this clinic? Was it 2 days? Did you watch videos? Briefly walk us through the clinic…

 Yes, the clinic was two days.  I arrived Friday night after a two and a half hour drive.  I settled Dash in, and then we did a meet and greet with Lynn and her husband Murray.  She said that her personal goal was never to make the NFR (even though she did…twice), but that she’s still working to achieve her personal goal.  Her goal is to ride a lot of different horses, and to ride them well.  She really emphasized that good riders will always ride good horses because they make the horses good.

 Saturday morning, we started with a jackpot at 9am.  Murray videotaped our runs.  After our runs, we cooled our horses out, and met back in the arena.  Lynn then gave a demonstration on Good Hands and Body Language on horseback.  After the demonstration, we were split into two groups.  Group 1 went to the video room to watch this mornings runs, and Group 2 got back on their horses, and headed back to the arena. 

A couple years ago, Lynn worked with Tanner Time in which four different sets of timers are set up throughout the arena.  The whole idea is that they time which part of your run you’re losing speed on.  Through this system and their research, they’ve found that the fastest way around the barrel is a teardrop shape.  The pocket should actually be on the backside of the barrel, NOT beside it.  The idea is based behind the fact that straighter is faster, so you want straight lines to the barrels.  She had a series of cones and tires set up around the barrels to make a path for us to go through.  We walked the pattern, and discussed the approach to each barrel.  She also showed us that when you shift your weight to the outside in the turn, you actually give your horse more power.  We then walked and trotted through the pattern around the cones and tires practicing our hand movement, shifting our weight, and setting him up for the next barrel.  Her hand movement is completely different than what I had been taught, so that was really difficult for me to grasp.  You don’t rotate your hand so that the backside of your hand is up, and pull out.  You rotate so that your fingers are up, and then pull back to your belt buckle.  She talked about always keep your hands inside this invisible box around your saddle.

After about two hours in the arena, we put our horses up, and then headed for the video run to watch our runs from this morning.  Murray analyzed the tapes with us.  We watched them all at regular speed, and the backed up and analyzed them in-depth in slow mo.  It was really neat to be able to SEE what you were actually doing.  I was also able to learn from watching everyone else’s run as well.  We then had another demonstration on equipment, and horse care.  She went over a horse in the clinic, and pointed out to us what she looks for to see if the horse is hurting or sore.  After the demonstrations, we saddled up for a $2 jackpot.  Most of the runs were actually worse than the morning jackpot. 

 Sunday morning began with cowboy church.  This was optional, and only about 15 of us actually came to it.  Most of the time was spent with Lynn telling us her story.  She has a very inspirational story, and one that most people can relate to.  I thought it was worthwhile.

 After church, my group went to the video room to watch our runs from last night’s jackpot.  After analyzing them all, Murray asked if there was anyone in the room that was happy with last night’s run.  None of us raised our hands.  He said that usually if you have a bad run Saturday night, you do much better Sunday night. 

 We then headed to the arena, where we worked on loping through the pattern through the cones and tires.  We first started by loping through one at a time a couple times, and then each person got to lope through three times in a row without stopping.  She also said in the beginning of the clinic that if you felt your horse needed a break from the pattern because he was getting too hot, then to feel free to take one.  After pattern work, Lynn gave one more demonstration on The Mental Game, and How To Play.  We all then saddled back up for a final jackpot with $5 entry fee.  I dropped .2 sec off my original time, and know that I have room to improve.  After the runs, we all met back up for some final thoughts before leaving. ………………………

Stay tuned! More from Brooke tomorrow!!!!!

AQHA/PRCA Horse of the Year Dies of Aneurysm – RIP Walt

 (photo credit)

Travis Tryan’s great head horse Precious Speck, best known as “Walt,” died April 24 of an aneurysm while warming up for morning slack at the Clovis (Calif.) Rodeo. Bred by Walt and/or Pat Vermedahl, Cave Creek, Ariz., Precious Speck (Skid Frost x Precious Rhythm x Mr H. Z. (TB)) was 20 years old. Tryan purchased Walt in September 2000.

“They had a special bond, and even in those final moments, Walt seemed to be looking out for Travis,” Tryan’s wife, Hillary, said. “Travis could have been badly injured in the fall, but Walt laid him down on the ground.

“Walt was gone almost immediately after that,” Travis said. “It all just happened really fast.”

Walt, who was buried under an oak tree at PRCA team roper Bert McGill’s Annadale Equine Center in nearby Sanger, Calif., had been voted the AQHA/PRCA Team Roping Heading Horse of the Year in each of the last three years and four times overall (also in 2003). He was also third in the balloting twice.  (read more)

Cowboys to give Classic a shot

Rick Furnish manages a ranch near Guymon, Okla.

He also owns one of the community’s popular taverns, Bob’s Cowboy Bar and Rodeo Room.

He’s of the firm belief that professional rodeo’s world all-around champion should have to compete in both a riding and timed event to qualify for the title.

Such is the case in Canada, by the way.

“In my opinion, we (the Americans) don’t have a true all-around champion,” Furnish said. “You can be the best roper in the world or the best rider, but you can’t be the all-around champion until you can do things at both ends of the arena.’’

On the world stage, the all-around title goes to the cowboy who has won the most money competing in any two or more events.

For the past decade, cowboys who work the team roping, calf roping, steer wrestling and/or steer roping have dominated.

The last world all-around champion to compete in both a roughstock and timed event was Texan Phil Lyne in 1972. He rode bulls and roped calves.

This weekend, the annual Pioneer Days Rodeo returns to Guymon and Furnish has managed to create what is called the Classic Events Championship.

“Steer roping and bronc riding are the two oldest events in rodeo, but there are timed-event guys and riding-event guys,” he said. “You’ve never had a crossover where you had to rope so many and you had to ride so many to be a champion. (read more and photo credit)

Clovis Rodeo goes out in style

The 96th Clovis Rodeo on Sunday closed with a darling dash of local flavor; three brothers who not only all competed in saddle bronc riding, but with success; and yet the latest bang of a bull ride in this arena from Zack Oakes — only this time with his body surgically repaired.

Three days after scoring a 10th-best time in the first go-round of barrel racing on a muddy surface, Fresno’s Sheena Robbins — in concert with temperatures that reached 80 — blistered the day’s top mark of 16.96 seconds and finished fourth overall.

The Wright brothers — Alex, Jesse and 2008 world champion Cody — placed second, fourth and eighth in saddle bronc riding.

And Oakes, a little more than two months after having bilateral hip surgery, registered Sunday’s top score in bull riding — finishing fourth overall and adding to Clovis Rodeo career prize winnings that he estimates at nearly $100,000 in seven years.

“I love Clovis,” said Oakes, who placed 10th and 14th in the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association standings the past two years with a smashed pelvis. “I think it’s the best rodeo all year for me.” (read more and photo credit)

OTRR hears from special guest….MEMPHIS!

If you havent met Memphis, please meet him here..

Ok soo yeah Mom mentioned that she took Easter weekend off and that we didn’t go anywhere.  What she failed to mention was that she was soo bored that weekend from not being on the road that she decided it was time for me to get a hair cut.  Mom hasn’t found a groomer that she likes very much down here so she thought she could do it just as well.  I kept trying to tell her that she was doing it wrong and it wasn’t how that groomers back in Ohio did it, but she insisted so I of course behaved and encouraged her with my kisses.  This was the result.  🙂

I did feel somewhat cooler after wards but that following weekend the other dogs made fun of me and people kept asking mom if I had some kind of skin condition and she felt bad for me so mom called new groomer in Kentucky and gave her very specific instructions on how to groom me!  I was soo happy when mom picked me up…and she seemed happy with the grooming job they did and was showing me off to everyone!  Here is what I look like now. 

I can tell mom is getting anxious about something and I have a feeling we are going to be on the road alot more.  I don’t care where we go…as long as I have my mom, my back seat, and my rubber chicken!  See you On The Rodeo Road…Love Memphis

Celeb cowboy Cord McCoy puts on no airs

Cord McCoy gets his picture taken a lot.

He’s a professional bull rider, so several photographers snapped at him Wednesday in Clovis.

He’s a contestant on the reality show “The Amazing Race,” so on the flight into town, a passenger took his picture while he slept.

He gets asked to take a photo so often he has a line he uses for the occasion: “Well sure, I’d love to, but I don’t have a camera.”

He is as friendly as a bell hop, as polite as funeral music. During a 20-minute interview, he got up to open a door for someone, gave a stranger a swig of his half-empty coffee, and then offered to help a woman who was setting up a blood drive at the Clovis Rodeo Grounds.

Down to earth doesn’t exactly do him justice. This is a guy whose career is televised, who is starring on a TV show — he and his bull-riding brother Jet McCoy are one of four teams left — yet doesn’t have a TV or radio in his own house.

“I didn’t know it was that big of a deal until I told somebody I didn’t have a TV,” he says. “Now everybody asks about it.”

In his 29 years, in fact, he’s never lived in a home with cable service. He grew up in a house with two fuzzy TV channels, 10 and 12, adjustable by bent antenna. In college, he and his brother had a little TV that kept the VCR company.

“It showed all kinds of stuff,” he laughs, “you just had to hit the play button to see it.” (read more and photo credit)

It is our lucky week… another update from Amber Mostoller

OK GO ME!!! Two updates in less than a week…YEHAW :)-  Ok seriously, so the last updated ended with the IPRA All Region Finals where I ended up 3rd in the 2nd go and was ecstatic!  The following weekend I took Beea and Streakin Frenchie aka Rica to a horse show in Versailles, KY.  Rica is still green and needs to get some runs under her quick little feet.  Let me first start by saying I REALLY DO NOT LIKE GOING TO HORSE SHOWS! (Sorry mom, I know we put them on, but yeah I would rather be on the rodeo road…you taught me well…LOVE YOU) hehe..ok so yeah back to the horse show.  I ran Beea in the Adult Barrels and the Open Barrels and Rica in the Junior Barrels and Open Barrels.   I did not get there in time for exhibition, so needless to say Rica was a little lost on her first run and we were kind of all over the place (ok alot all over the place)  She did come back in the Open and redeem herself and ran at the bottom of the 2-D making lots of mistakes.  She is VERY quick and catty and her feet are moving faster then her head right now 🙂  She tries very hard though and I have high hopes for her.  Beea on the other hand knew the drill and I was confident going into the show that she could win it.  We had a decent run in the Adult Class and finished 2nd, which was a good warm up for the Open.  (Its very hard for me to get pumped up for a horse show so most of the time I need a run to warm my self up lol.  In the Open I was one of the last ones to run and knew Beea was ready…she really worked and we won it! Took home about $400 and a new hay bag (can never have too many of those 🙂

(March 26-28th)
The next weekend was our IBRA Futurity & Preferred Show….BLAH..this is a show that we produce every year along with one in Murfreesboro, TN in January.  Beea was being run by her 13 year old owner here so I was running Rica and also picked up two horses owned by Mesa Leavitt.  One was one we did some trading for (Burrs Double Decker) with my moms horse and the other one was one I was going to be running to sell for them (JTD Truly Streakin aka CHUNKY)  Decker needed her feet done so I did not run her but Chunky was ready to go.  Rica worked decent all weekend (no checks) but I was happy with her as well as her owners who got to see me run her for the first time.  Chunky drew me a check in the 2D on my very first run on him…we hit to place the other two days, but I was happy with the way he worked.  IT WAS A VERY LONG WEEKEND, and its hard to put the show on, take entries, process results and payouts and take care of horses.  Have I mentioned that I DO NOT LIKE HORSE SHOWS lol  Beea went home with her owners for a few weeks and I was hoping to get her back before the big rodeo in Evans, GA!!

(April 3-10th)
I took Easter weekend off and was ready to go somewhere the following weekend.  I originally was going to Lewisburg, OH for the huge IBRA super show up there produced by MVP Productions, but I feared another horse show weekend would throw me over the edge…soo I entered a bulls and barrels in Speedwell, TN for Friday and Saturday.  I jumped in with Kristi Gilmore and Teresa Quay in Lexington, KY and we were on our way.  I decided to take Chunky to this one and get some more runs on him.  Friday night he really worked and we just barely caught the first barrel leaving it to win it!!  BUMMER    What I realized during this run though was that Chunky and I had a communication problem when it came to stopping…definitley something I was going to be working on with him lol….we came back Saturday night…he was being a terd going in the arena a little bit as the alley way was dark and long so I had a girl walk up with me and he was great.  As soon as she stopped in the alleyway he took off into the arena and we missed the first barrel and ended up a few strides around the pen…he was FLYING though so I tried to get him back around it and we again caught it leaving it 😦  I pulled up coming home (still no breaks) and was shocked again when I heard that our time would have won it….GGGGRRRR   I decided this coming week at home I was going to do some tuning and get everything ironed out and come a running for the following weekends rodeo in Lebanon, TN!

Here are two video links of a couple of horses for sale…Streakin Frenchie aka RICA – Video

Burrs Double Decker aka Decker – Video

**Please be sure and check back…Amber’s Dog Memphis has a few thoughts for later on in the week.

Brandon Martin from Pendleton, Oregon

(pic Source)

Nellie Williams didn’t walk away from the 89th annual Red Bluff Round-Up Sunday as the barrel racing champion. Being the north state’s top finisher at the Tehama District Fairgrounds isn’t all that bad of a consolation prize.

The Cottonwood competitor ended up fourth in the group of barrel racers, finishing with an aggregate total of 35.69, just .01 seconds off third-place finisher Deanne Bain.

Jill Moody earned the barrel racing victory with a total of 35.03, followed by Molly Powell at 35.3.

In tie-down roping, Fred Whitfield and Tyson Durfey finished tied, with both at 17.5 seconds…(read more)

Amber Mostoller checks in with a few Rodeo Updates…

(February 26-28, 2010)

WOW, Where has the last month and a half gone?!  There is soo much to update I do not even know where to start lol.  OK I will start with where I left off….I think it was East Lansing, MI back at the end of February. 

The following weekend I was entered at 3 rodeos (Batesville, MS * Columbiana, AL & Huntsville, AL)   The week leading up to those two rodeos I picked up a couple of “new ponies”  The first one is a 5 year old chesnut mare by the name of Streakin Frenchie…she is a daughter of A Streak of Fling out of an own daughter of Frenchmans guy and I absolutely ADORE her.  I am riding and running her for my business partner in Pennsylvania and I have no doubt she is going to be a ROCKSTAR 🙂  The day before I left for the rodeos I picked up a 6 year old sorrel mare by the name of Beea Stash of Money.  This mare is owned by The Yurko family in Wheeling, WV and she is already a proven 1-D horse show horse having won the Junior Horse Barrels and the 13 & Under youth barrels as well at the All American Quarter Horse Congress.  The Yurko family asked me if I would be interested in taking Beea for a little while to see if she would make a rodeo horse and I jumped all over it!

The next day was a Friday and my friend Jodi and I headed out to Batesville, MS for Saturday morning slack.  We got down there in the middle of the night, got the horses settled in and went to bed for a few hours.  I saddled up early the next morning to get the “feel” of Beea since I had never been on her back before.  Needless to say I was a little concerned after getting on her lol…she had no mouth at all and was FULL of energy.  The arena was HUGE (barrels way off the fence and a 17 second pattern to boot) so I was kind of worried that if she decided to run off with me there would be nothing I could do to stop her.  I rode her a little cautious and wanted a “DO OVER” really badly when I came out of the arena…she worked like a champ!  I asked her to turn and she worked her butt off….but b/c I wasn’t riding very aggressive we were just a little too slow, but my confidence was already up for Columbiana, AL which we were entered at that night!  

 We arrived at Columbiana very early and chilled out for awhile.  This arena was opposite of the one we just came from…small with barrels on the fence…and the ground was a little “different”  I took the tie down off of Beea to free her up a little bit since the arena was soo small and decided that I was gonna “send her”   WELL my plan got shaken up a little bit when the girl right before me completely PANCAKED at the first barrel.  I was riding a horse I did not know, who had never been to a rodeo until that morning….it was loud in the small building and was the first time the mare had been around that kind of noise, and now I had to decide whether she would be able to handle the ground.  I let her go in there and she SMOKED the first barrel, we got a stride by our 2nd barrel, but she was running hard and she had an awesome 3rd barrel!  I was sure that we were gonna be in there for a check….WRONG…it took them forever to announce my time and when they finally did I was way off the pace.  When I went back in to see what was going on, my friend said they had actually missed my time and used my stopwatch time.  BUMMER!! but thats rodeo.  I was VERY excited for Huntsville, AL the next day as that was the biggest rodeo of the weekend and I felt that Beea and I were ready to roll.  We pulled into Huntsville at 2 or 3 in the morning and put the mares in a pen and went to bed.  I was soo impressed at well Beea was handling everything, the hauling, the noises, and new surroundings, and just her overall attitude about everything!   Soo she warmed up good during intermission…we were all standing out back on the concrete and I jumped off real quick to pick her feet.  When I had ahold of one of her back feet something must have spooked her and she jerked up and kicked me in the jaw, which sent me sailing.  I felt intense pain in my jaw and thought I may have broken it…I got up and was trying to figure out what happened and I guess someone grabbed my belt loop b/c they thought I was getting ready to pass out.  I tasted blood and wasn’t sure where it was coming from.  Between spitting blood and crying we figured out that it busted two of my teeth…they held up the barrels for a few minutes so I could regain my composure and I went in the building to try and clean up.  I decided to run…which may have been against my better judgement but I didn’t drive all the way to Alabama to let something like that stop me lol.  Beea INHALED the 1st barrel and made a corner so quick at the 2nd barrel that she got me off balance…I lost the reins and a stirrup and she shot across the pen back to the 1st..I got Beea somewhat stopped and was just VERY happy that I didnt fall off lol.   I headed back home empty handed and ready to get my teeth fixed and more then that ready for the next weekend to run Beea again!  (Video is of me trying to ride at Huntsville!!) VIDEO

March 5-6th (Greenville, KY) * March 11-13 (IPRA NATIONAL ALL REGION FINALS * Montgomery, AL)

March 5th I entered Greenville, KY which was an Open rodeo produced by Lonestar rodeo company.  I was in the slack…it was COLD and we didnt run till after midnight!  There was not really anywhere to warm up and at Lonestar rodeos we are not allowed in the pen to warm up…Needless to say I was miserable lol.  Beea warmed up good and had been feeling good all week.  The ground was pretty deep here so I knew we were going to have to go for it.  Especially after watching Diana Hensley SMOKE everyone in the perf by over half second.  It was one of those type runs that we all knew we were probably running for 2nd…it was an AMAZING run and absolutely awesome to watch.  Beea was awake and ready to run and enhaled her 1st and 2nd barrel.  The 3rd barrel was quite a ways off the fence and I was soo excited about our 1st and 2nd barrel that I just over rode her to the 3rd and we went about a stride and a half by it which no doubt cost us a check…BLAH

SOOO the following weekend was the IPRA NATIONAL ALL REGION FINALS in Montgomery, AL.  This was always a PRCA rodeo in the past and has always been a great rodeo.  I originally had planned on running Teresa Quays great stud Horse Chance Bar Tease but was feeling confident with Beea so I decided to run her.  I also got to take Streakin Frenchie with me to let her see all the sights and sounds of the rodeos. 

The National All Region Finals aka NARF takes 20 entries made up of the top 4 in each of the 5 Regions.  Over half of us were at the IFR in January and the other half no doubt could have have been.  It was by far the TOUGHEST rodeo I have been to in awhile.  With $5,000 added there was alot on the line and I knew Beea and I would have to be on our game.  I ran Thursday night and Saturday night with half the girls and the other half running Friday night and Saturday afternoon.  Beea had a very good 1st barrel, but coming out of the 2nd barrel she pulled away from me a little bit and we got a stride by our 3rd.  Our time put us in the middle of the pack by the end of the 1st go.  A 15.0 won it and I ran a 15.4…a respectable time but I knew we could do better.  After the first 10 ran in the 2nd go a 15.0 was once again winning it.  Edesse Descoutaux from Quebec took over the lead with a 15.04 and I was to run right after her.  Beea fired hard out of the alley way and honestly I do not remember much of that run…(and of course we didnt get it on tape) lol….we must have done something right though b/c we ran a 15.06!!!!  I was SOOO exstatic.  Mesa came in on Junior and ended up winning the go with a 14.9 but I was still on cloud 9.  We won $600 that weekend.   (Picture is of our 3rd place run!!!) and video is of the 1st go) VIDEO

MORE COMING SOON…ohh plus a note that Memphis wrote to On the Rodeo Road…he has been feeling a little left out 🙂
