Lefty Holman left no doubt that he is coming for the title in Austin after he put together a picture perfect ride on ranch raised Rafter G Rodeo’s Jezebelle.

“Right there, I just wanted to be really patient in the chute, make sure she took that step forward. That horse sometimes wants to run down the gate a bit so I wanted that step that way she didn’t do that. She left great, left clean. But once we got out in the arena, little ground poundy, one of those that are fun to ride but they’re hitting the ground hard so you’ve got to make sure to do everything correct,” Holman said.
