PERFORMANCE REPORT NEW RODEO SEASON. NEW YOU.

Region III is coming in HOT into a new rodeo season! As of publication of this article we broke a record on new members with 205 high school and 88 jr high members and we anticipate more! This will make the 2022-2023 rodeo season the BIGGEST in Region III history! We can’t wait to get to know all our new members and see all the great rodeo action that will take place during the year.

As a reminder we are back in Graham for all our rodeos at the Young County Arena. It is our 15 year at this facility and a great location for our all day rodeo action! Did you know that in a weekend with the help of our parent volunteers we roll through 1300 runs in a weekend? We greatly appreciate any and all help your family can jump in and provide, as it helps our events run faster and smoother.

Region III High School Secretary, Kelley Williams, was asked what makes Region III different than all the regions and she replied, “There are so many wonderful things about Region III, but I think we are known for being very family oriented with the addition of our youth program. A family can watch all of their children compete in one day, First Grade through Senior year. This is so helpful to many families that there is an event for each of their children to participate in, instead of having to split up and go to different associations.” She jokingly added, "We are a one-stop shop for youth rodeo!.”

Don’t forget about our special events in Region III. After each Saturday performance we put on a jackpot breakaway and team roping that members wont want to miss! Also, start planning now to attend our Cowboy Prom that takes place each year in February!

We are excited for a great new year and look forward to seeing each of you at our next rodeo!

NEW RODEO SEASON. NEW YOU.

As we head into a new rodeo season have you thought about how as athletes we put a lot of time and energy into our horse’s heath, wellness and conditioning, but don’t put a lot of effort into our own fitness and health? We spend a lot of time and energy helping our horses perform at their best, so don’t you think we should do our part.

As equine athletes we are constantly on the move. Just doing basic chores and riding burns a ton of calories, but targeting the muscle groups that are important in each of your events is where you could develop an edge over your competition. NRS online says, "You and your horse are a team, but without proper strength, flexibility, coordination, stability and balance, you are making your horse's job HARDER! Have you ever given someone a piggyback ride? It is much more difficult to lug them around if they hang off you with their arms around your neck like a deadweight sandbag. If they are strong enough to brace with their legs, support themselves off your neck and back and have good balance and stability, it's much easier to move and carry them.”

What areas should you focus on?

1. Core Strength 2. Upper body strength 3. Leg Strength 4. Cardio

A great High-Intensity-Interval Training (HIIT) Workout is the best way to target all of these areas in a shorter amount of time. Great workouts that you can follow can be found online, especially YouTube. If your parent has a Peleton account, then you have access to a ton of coached classes that can be done in 30 minutes!

We all known that rodeo competition is tough in Region III, but the question reamains: Will you go the extra mile to be number one?
