Thank you SSLY for hosting me today. I thought I’d say a few words about female bull riders. My latest book, THE BULL RIDER WEARS PINK features Cassidy Cooper and her dream of becoming a bull rider while managing her thirteen-year-old son and rekindling an old romance.

While researching this book I learned about Maggie Parker currently the only professional female bull rider in the PBR. At 5’5 and 130 pounds Maggie rides bulls between 1500 and 2000 pounds. As a trailblazer Maggie has been told that girls “aren’t made for the sport.” But her coach Gary Leffew says, “she ain’t got no quit in her – she’s determined and she works long and hard on it.”

Unfortunately Maggie was hurt last August at the Cody Stampede Rodeo. Currently she is recovering from a spinal injury with two long rods and eight screws placed in her back. Maggie hopes to return to the rodeo circuit next year. As long as she can stay safe, I hope to see her there soon. But no matter what happens to Maggie’s dream of riding bulls she certainly is inspirational.
