Do you have a specific pre-show warm-up or mental exercise that you practice? My pre-show mental exercise is to get myself pumped up. I like to listen to music. The song I listened to before the Saddle Shootout was “Shiv- ers” by Ed Sheeran! Right before I enter the show pen, I say a prayer and hope for the best.
Have you ever owned a Roohide saddle? What are your thoughts about winning such a sought-aſter saddle? My husband bought a used Roohide saddle about 10 years ago. It quick- ly became my favorite—to the point that I did not want to ride in any other saddle. I was on the verge of becoming superstitious about it! I sent it to Roohide a couple of years ago to have it cleaned up and fited with new conchos. When I heard about the Roohide Saddle Shootout, I was all in. I even
delayed my move to Texas to make sure I could enter. If I had even a small chance of winning, I knew I had to be there. That event was my goal for the year. It was such an honor to accomplish it. It still feels like a dream, and I am so grateful.
What are your goals for the remainder of the 2026 show season? My goal is to continue showing. I will finish the SCRCHA season in September. I am thinking about atending CRCHA shows if I can, along with the NSHA event in Las Vegas—and definitely the World Show in Texas.
Melanie Kykal and McCalls Bourey won the Non Pro Fence Saddle Shootout.
