I was born into rodeo. For the girls, it was all the background work that kept the machine going, right?…..We had to iron our brother’s clothes perfectly.

I expect you are all wondering what the heck is going on! I have been working my way through each of the interviews very carefully and choosing excerpts to support the essential parts of the film.
