Carolina Factor, age 6, competed in a Mutton Bustin’ race at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo alongside 11 other contestants and, with a perfect score, won. She was absolutely thrilled, and, when interviewed in front of the crowd of over 70,000 people about her winning strategy, she credited her sticky cotton candy hands with helping her hold onto the sheep, as well as practices at home riding on the back of her big brother, Benjamin. Cheering her on were her parents, siblings, extended family and friends.
