Keep Dreaming Cowboy

7- NFR craziness has officially began.

--Reece is on top or side!!--

So it's the first day here in Vegas. It's the day before the NFR starts.

We've been working horses in the arena for the past 2 days, but now it gets busy.

We have signings, promotions, working horses, and also the buckle ceremony.

Me and Kelsey rolled out of bed... Literally. I hit my head pretty hard.

I walked, half asleep, to the bathroom and changed out of my pjs and into my work horses clothes, which consisted of a T-Shirt an jeans.

I walked out and Kelsey was already dressed.

"Ready to go?" I asked.

"Yep!! Let's go! We have a signing at one!" She said and left the room with me in tow.

We made it to the elevator and out the door. We went to where the stalls were at at the Thomas and Mack.

"Hey bud!" I said walkin up to Ace who greeted me with a neigh.

I know people might be like oh that never happens, but yes it does. Especially when they're in a stall. They're happy to see someone who might change that.

I got Ace out of his stall with Kelsey following me with Frosty.

We took them to the trailer, saddled, then headed to the Thomad and Mack to work barrels.

We got in line and I was 2nd in line to work my horse in the arena behind Christy Loflin. I worked Ace and he worked like a dream, thank goodness. Kelsey worked Frosty and from what I saw she worked great.

When we got done we put Ace and Frosty up with some hay and fresh water then headed back to the hotel to get changed.

I wore my black rodeo Roper shirt with grey stitching, my Rock Revival jeans, grey felt American Hat hat and my cheetah Tin Haul boots.

Kelsey wore a pink and turquoise rodeo shirt, Miss Me jeans, her turquoise Tin Haul boots and American black felt hat.

We made our way to the MGM Grand lobby for our interviews.

"Where is it at??" I asked

"This way!.. I-I believe." Kelsey answered walking in front of me.

"Great we won't make it there in time!"

"Shut up Reece!"

"Shut up Kelsey Loo!"

"Don't call me that!"

"Just did! BAM!" I said saying 'bam' a little louder than intended.

"Look there it is!" She said pointing to a door with the interviewers name on it.

"Oh yeah. Stran Smith's wife is interviewing us. Love them!" I said walking towards the door.

"Me too!" She said following me.

I knocked on the door and Stran himself answered.

"Hey Reece! Hey Kelsey! Y'all are just in time!" He smiled warmly.

He walked towards a couch and a chair occupied by his wife.

"Welcome girls! Take a seat and we'll start." She smiled.

We did as told and sat on the couch me closest to her.

"Today I'm here with Reece Walker and Kelsey Smith! Two young ladies setting the WPRA on fire. Both rookies and both in top 7. Reece is 4th, Kelsey is 6th! Welcome girls. How are you doing today? How's Vegas?" She asked looking into the camera then handing us the mic.
