Hello rodeo fans! Well, I don’t know how you have been but let me tell you, I have been busy! Fresh off of my trip to the Dixie National rodeo, I had the chance to make a run to another exciting rodeo, the Hattiesburg Coca-Cola Classic. I had so much fun at the Coca-Cola Classic and I can’t wait to share my stories with you!
My day began when I arrived at the Hattiesburg multipurpose naturally; I was an hour and a half early, this, however, would turn out to be a good thing. As I walked into the arena, I was met by one of the Smith, Harper, and Morgan crew members. He took me over to the bull pen where two black and white Paint horses were tied to the fence. I was told that since I would be carrying the American flag into the arena for the opening ceremonies that I should get to know these horses well as I will have ridden both of them by the time the weekend would end. I began to bridle one of the horses who I would find out is named “Dr. Pepper”. (I found it somewhat amusing that I would be riding a house named Dr. Pepper at the Coca-Cola Classic rodeoJ) I was so proud to be able to carry the American flag into a rodeo in the Hattiesburg multipurpose arena where all my friends and family could see me. The music played, I smiled and I couldn’t have been more happy to bring ole’ Dr. Pepper to a full run and wave Old Glory proudly! I was beaming!
After the grand entry, I met up with my fellow queens, Miss Rodeo Mississippi Princess, Hannah Claire Chisholm; Jr. Miss Rodeo Mississippi, Kate Sprabery; and Teen Miss Rodeo Mississippi, Hillary Hobby. We chatted with a few rodeo first timers and shared our love of the sport of rodeo with them, and signed a few autographs. Then after a few quick pictures, we headed down to the alley way to make sure that we could ride in the “barrel” truck. The barrel truck is the truck that brings out and sets up the barrels for barrel racing. Kate, Hillary, Hannah Claire and I have quickly become fond of the barrel truck because we get a first hand view of all the fast riding action!
After barrel racing, we headed back up to the stands where we signed a few more autographs and took tons of pictures. We all had a great time at the Hattiesburg Coca Cola Classic rodeo and made many memories that will last a life time! Until next time, happy trails and see you on the rodeo road!
