How I got started: My father trained horses. Then I went to work for Kobie Wood when I was 17.

Biggest mistake I’ve made in cutting: I don’t think I’ve made any mistakes. I would consider all of them learning experiences.

Biggest myth about cutting: You don’t have to be from Weatherford, Texas, to win.

Favorite quote: “I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.” – John 15: 5

Most memorable moment in cutting: Every time myself, Holly and Sid do well in Will Rogers.

Training philosophy: Just train a cow horse.
