The opportunity to be so involved really inspires you to want to continue to be surrounded by the rodeo industry. PFD Arena Director Robbie Long was Brody Halford's mentor.

He brings a positive attitude to every task, making him a great person to work with. Melinda Manzioni, timed events, was Sage Scott's mentor. Sage told us Melinda was great to work under, and it was a lot of fun. She has a way of getting work done and having a blast while she does it. She definitely made my experience a lot of fun.

Hayden Morgan. Sydney reports, the guys were great to work with. They were really helpful with learning the, video, equipment and very knowledgeable.

Vold Rodeo pickup man Ty Acheson was a mentor for Tyler Blackmore, who said, I'm incredibly grateful for the experience and the opportunity to learn from someone so skilled.
