“A lot of training and riding. I have a good trainer that pushes me to my limit (My horse and I) make a good team. I ride horses every day, but my good reining horse stays with my trainer in Arizona.”

Neudorf also took third in barrels at the rodeo in Dawson Creek and fifth at Teepee Creek. She in her first year competing in pro rodeos as a permit holder.
