An excerpt from Kota’s World Finals comeback story…

“He made me look good,” said Schaffner, who grew up riding bareback until he got his first saddle at 16. “He fits me. A lot of these young kids ride great bareback now, but it’s not easy. The horse has to move right, and you’ve got to stay in him. Kota still moves for me.”
