Latin Times spoke to Ivette about her role and experience in 'Los Cowboys'.
Latin Times: I want to know how long have you been riding horses and your experience doing so?
Ivette Saucedo: I have been riding horses since before I can walk. It’s something that is not out of the ordinary for me. I remember when I was elementary school and my dad use to pick me up from elementary school with horses and bring a horse for me so I can walk back with my horse and he could ride his. This is something I have done all my life. For my sister and I this was our hobby and its caramusa. We would have this caramusa practice and that was my childhood. It was my life and I continue to do it. I am passionate about horseback riding.
LT: Your background is mainly in modeling and fashion. What interest you about acting and reality tv?
IS: The modeling thing came about since I was little. I use to see magazines and use to say I want to do that. Until this day my favorite model is Cindy Crawford. I think she is the most timeless beauty and I adore her. I think she is beautiful. It was something that I wanted to do and started when I was 11 years old. But I faced challenges I was either too voluptuous, too ethnic, too exotic, my hair was too dark or my hair was too long there was always something. Throughout the years I was able to develop a stronger mind and don’t let it bother me. When one door closed the other one would open. I did a pageant and my dad passed away he always wanted me to be in pageants. He would also say I was so beautiful you should do that and I know you can. My friend signed me up for a pageant and I did it and all the money raised went to non-profit organizations. It was such an honor to be a part of that. After, the pageant I started modeling again and acting. I got asked to be part of a few reality shows that people would tell me you should do this until I came across ‘Los Cowboys.'
LT: How did you get casted for the reality show 'Los Cowboys'?
IS: My friend Alex which is the producer told me that he was thinking about making a reality show about Charol Diaz I was like there is no way I want to do anything else. This show highlights Latinos in a beautiful way. There is no drama it's funny it shows our beautiful tradition and our culture. It shows how Latinos really are and that's how I became part of this production.
LT: Tell me about your role and your experience working with so many men?
IS: I am super competitive so to me everything they can do I can do better. It’s really fun because I know these guys all my life since I was a little girl. They treat me like their sister but sometimes they don’t have filters. I have to tell them I don’t want to hear this boy stuff. They are like my brothers and they take care of me. It’s fun to be around them although sometimes they are hard on me but they are like my brothers. Not all reality TV has to be about drama and this is one of the things I love about this project that it highlights Latinos in a positive way. Sometimes we do argue about small stuff but we go back to normal right away. We are a family and we get over things.
LT: Any other projects or roles that you would like to share with us?
IS: I am getting into acting and it’s something that I find challenging but I want to start concentrating on that. Also, I want to go back to school and finish my nursing school. I have many goals I want to accomplish. I want to continue pursing acting and modeling for as long as I can. When I have children I want to give back to them my legacy like my father gave to me.
