Look at the picture above.
That's Taffy Taylor, a former rodeo star, and a formidable cow horse on the Nelson and Sandy Taylor ranch. She carried Chad's little sis Wendy on her back for many rodeos in Lincoln County, Colorado. Chad is walking her around some barrels and she's resisting the walk.
She'd much rather RUN!
If you translated her age to human years she'd be eligible for social security. She's in no way ready for the rocker.
Just like the 66 year old woman who competed in last night's Pike's Peak or Bust Rodeo. She came out in overdrive and finished with a score of 18.0...not the best time. There were certainly faster competitors in the sport of barrel racing. But she climbed on and gave it her all. Her horse thundered down the arena and leaned hard into the turns.
Just when most are slowing down, this woman is speeding up.
