What was your favorite thing about this stock show/trip?
I’ve never been to Georgia or that area of the country.Therefore, I thoroughly enjoyed getting to see the state of Georgia for the first time.

What was one thing you tried different with your project this year?
Since I got a longer break from school than usual during the winter months, my brothers and I got to spend more time in the barn together working on the set.

What is your favorite show product to use?
Glitter Dust is key to getting skin and hair looking right in the Stoller barn!

What is your favorite brand of show jeans or show shoes?
My favorite brand of show jeans is Cinch. Also, you can never go wrong with a fresh pair of Walmart tennis shoes!

On the way to the show I am...
My family always seems to have a pretty solid playlist to listen to throughout the trip. This year it included more Morgan Wallen than usual due to Keaton’s obsession.

What is one last minute thing you do before entering the ring?
Many things go through your mind before entering the ring. The thing I usually do is get a game plan in my mind on how to drive the hog in the most beneficial way possible. Also getting skin and hair right before entering the ring is important.
