It's been a good week for Sadie Hotzler.
She competed in the National Little Britches Rodeo Association Finals in Guthrie, Okla.
At that event, Sadie, who is 12 years old, placed fifth out of 33 entries in the 19-under pole bending with an average of 42.693.
Hotzler had a 21.601 in Round 1 and 21.092 in Round 2.
That qualifies her for the Junior Patriot Rodeo Feb. 25-March 6 in Fort Worth, Tex. The event is billed as the world's richest youth rodeo.
On Tuesday, Sadie and her horse, Kenna, were back home in Jackson and she set the arena record in open barrels with a time of 17.327 seconds.
