Cade Barnett , his 5-year-old son , is picking up in his father ’ s footsteps and is learning how to rope .
“ It seems like girls usually have a love for horses , that ’ s kind of her deal ,” Barnett said . “ She falls in love with them , we ’ ve traveled all over the country .”
His wife , Krista , and son also come with them when they travel for a rodeo . His son is 5 and is starting to get interested in roping as well , just like his dad .
Rodeo is an escape from reality for Barnett . When he is out riding with his family , it brings him a sense of relief from the struggles of the world .
“ I think I ’ ll do it ‘ till I can ’ t anymore .”
