“This year didn’t start off the best,” he said. “My bulldogging horse is pretty green, so I’m trying to get him going and give him more experience. This year’s progress will help out for next year.”
Clark said his goal is to make it to the Silver State International Rodeo, which is held June 27 through July 3 in Winnemucca, Nevada.
