Randy is Riding Again
NRHA Professional Randy Paul is up and riding again, months sooner than his doctors told him he would. The 2006 NRHA Futurity Open Champion underwent salivary cancer surgery and reconstruction on May 9, but after a full and complete recovery he was back in the saddle by July 1. His next show will be the Las Vegas Reining Classic Derby, September 14. It's hard to keep a good reiner down!
