I think he was a bit caugt in the middle as an older rider. He is not young and up and coming like some of those kids out there and he does not have the rep that say a Solis, Nakatani or Smith have so it put him in a middle position to get good mounts. One thing that is very different from the east coast to a certain extent is that you have to work horses in the morning to get mounts, where your rep can do alot of that for you out west. I dont know how much he worked horses, maybe a lot, but that is one thing you have to do out west.
