After a serious horse accident, Team Roper, Brad Parliament shares his story of recovery, rehab and battling chronic pain. He gives a candid and entertaining view of what his PT sessions were like and how he felt like he shaved a year off his recovery time.

We have been off the air lately, so Becky and Emma sit down and bring listeners up to date on the activities that have been keeping them hopping. They give a recap of the spring, and fall rodeo seasons, as well as the girls trips to nationals, including Gracie’s trip to Perry Georgia, and Emma’s trip to Gillette, Wyoming.

Have you been told you need a hip or knee replacement? Becky’s friend, Kerri, was in just this situation. Kerri had a total hip replacement about eight years ago. Recently, she found out that she needs to have the procedure revised. However, due to her busy schedule and the recovery time needed to get the surgery done, she wasn’t willing to lose yet another summer. While she was at Becky’s place for a horsemanship clinic, Kerri mentioned that her hip had been giving her a lot of trouble when it came to riding. After a quick evaluation, Becky did some exercises with Kerri to activate her hip muscles and control the motion of the thigh.
