“ We love and enjoy our rodeo family . We travel and camp together , and we look out for each other . Paisley has her group of friends who do rodeo competitions .”
The young athlete was pleased to report extended family usually come to all the local events . “ The rodeos don ’ t cost much money for the people watching to get in ,” she said . “ But caring for my rodeo outfits and our animals always costs a lot of money .”
The rodeo princess was very excited to talk about some of her experiences , along with her mother . “ The Brownstown Indiana Rodeo is my favorite . I ’ ve competed in about eight states so far . Tennessee is probably my favorite other state to compete in . I want to continue to do rodeo after I finish my homeschooling . My favorite memory so far was qualifying in the National Junior High Finals Rodeo in Georgia . I win a lot of trophies and I sometimes win cash . Winning is fun , but I enjoy everything about competing in rodeos .”
