Jacey Fortier has to hustle back to Pendleton after she left thinking she was not fast enough to make it back to Short Go Saturday and it is a good thing she did. The Montana breakaway roper was a 3.3 to fill the twelfth hole coming back to the Championship Round.
Fortier was the first lady out and the fastest with a 2.7-second run.
“I had a great calf, he was the best one in the pen and I knew, just don’t screw him up,” Forteir said.
After making the drive back with her mom and having it all pay off with a win, the Pendleton Round-Up is one that Fortier will always remember.
