Hawaiian cowboy Cody Cabral is looking forward to his first National Finals Rodeo appearance.
With his four-legged partner, Little Time, Carbral has high hopes for this year’s performance.
“My goal is winning the average at the NFR,” Cabral said, “My style is catching a lot of steers so I think that helps me when running so many for the average.”
Cabral and Little Time faced challenges on the road but kept consistent throughout the PRCA season.
“It was a great experience with many ups ands downs,” Cabral said, “I had a very slow winter coming off of a big injury last year, but I got things going in the spring time and really had a turn around moment winning both rounds and the average in Redding CA.”
With a good deal of horse power at the ready, Little Time is also ready to make is NFR debut.
“Little Time has a lot of character, he gets his nose into everything, it’s like having a little kid around,” Cabral said, “He always trys to untie himself or other horses, and loves to be pet and in contact with people, kids love him.”
Yet despite his playful nature, Little Time can kick the dust up when he’s called upon.
“He’s a really good steer wrestling horse,” Cabral said, “[fusion_builder_container hundred_percent=”yes” overflow=”visible”][fusion_builder_row][fusion_builder_column type=”1_1″ background_position=”left top” background_color=”” border_size=”” border_color=”” border_style=”solid” spacing=”yes” background_image=”” background_repeat=”no-repeat” padding=”” margin_top=”0px” margin_bottom=”0px” class=”” id=”” animation_type=”” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_direction=”left” hide_on_mobile=”no” center_content=”no” min_height=”none”][He] scores good, trys hard and is great in any situation.”
Even though the action will be in the 10 nights of performances, Little Time and Cody Cabral are most excited for the grand entry.
“I’m really excited to be representing the state of Hawaii,” Cabral said, “I can’t wait to carry the Hawaiian flag in the grand entry.”[/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container]
