THSRA Finals Contestants and Parents

T

– PLEASE READ CAREFULLY–

he THSRA Finals is fast approaching! Congratulations to all of our Finals contestants! We wanted you to be aware of a few new changes with the Taylor County Expo facility. Construction and renovation for the new complex is still underway presenting more logistical challenges than experienced last year. When finished, the new Expo will be a state of the art equine complex that everyone will appreciate and enjoy. While we understand that the construction will be an inconvenience to contestants and families alike, we appreciate your patience and understanding as we all navigate through the building process.

The construction project has extended beyond the areas that were under construction last year, but there are some positive changes! The Covered Outdoor Arena and the New Horse Barn are finished. All stalls will be in permanent structures under roof.

More Entry/Exit Gates have been added. There are plenty of warm up areas under roof.

Traffic patterns will be rerouted to avoid congestion and keep contestants and horses safe. There will be no vehicle access from the new horse barn and covered outdoor arena to the coliseum.

This year, golf carts will be available to rent to help families avoid long walks to camping grounds, arenas, and stall areas. All golf carts must be reserved through Metro Golf Cars (817)921-5491 ext 101. Per Taylor County rules, no personal ATV’s, golf carts, bikes, motorcycles, or skateboards are allowed!

The construction will cause us to alter how we have used the facility in the past.: • The Covered Outdoor Arena is being planned to host the horsemanship portion of the queen contest. After that it will be used as a warm up and jackpot arena only.

• We will build an arena inside the New Horse Barn. This arena will be large enough for a standard barrel pattern. A large barrel race was recently held in the new horse barn, and the contestants gave the ground positive reviews. This new arena will be locked up until after the slack is over to ensure the ground is well maintained and ready for competition. It will be used for the barrel racing, team roping, and goat tying slack. After the slack, it will be opened to be used freely for warm up for all contestants.

• The cutting and cow horse events will be in the Blue horse Barn again this year. This is the only place the event can be held due to the access to load and unload semi cattle trailers. The arena

will be locked and the ground maintained to give contestants the best opportunity to compete. Cutters and cow horse contestants can warm up in outdoor area by the Blue Horse Barn, the Covered Outdoor Arena, covered warm up at the end of the cattle barns connected to the Blue Horse Barn. Next year, these events will move to the new facility after the construction has been completed.

• All rodeo performances and the slack for calf roping, breakaway roping, steer wrestling, pole bending, and rough stock will be in the Coliseum same as years past.

• There will be sanded access point from the new horse barn to the coliseum. We ask all contestants to use this access rather than riding through the stall areas.

• The entry/exit gate near the Blue Horse Barn will remain closed throughout the event as no vehicle access is allowed in this area.

• There will be 4 new entry/exit gates open to accommodate vehicle traffic. Even still roadways can become congested. We are counting on your patience and courtesy to eliminate road blocks.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

• Please plan to take more time to travel between facilities.

Don’t forget to check out the trade show! It will be in the same building as last year. The goat roping has been moved to the covered Entertainment Pavilion by the round building.

Attention all contestants! Several contestants were disqualified last year for their unauthorized entry and abuse to the livestock which is a violation of NHSRA rules! Don’t make us send you home! You worked too hard to get here.

The Taylor County renovation and construction project is scheduled to be ongoing thru 2020. The safety of all contestants is our foremost priority. The construction zones will be fenced off and we ask everyone to stay out of those areas! Please do not tie horses to the chain link fence barriers!

Thanks in advance for your patience, cooperation, and understanding. We look forward to a great week of rodeo at the THSRA State Finals! Good luck and safe travels to all.

See you in Abilene!

SHUTTLE SERVICE

2019 THSRA State Finals Grand Entry We will have morning & evening grand entries on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday and also for the short go matinee on Saturday. Each region has been assigned 2 performances but I made them on the same day so it would be easier to remember. I also divided up the Monday and Tuesday morning grand entries because the student officers tend to have other commitments those mornings and need help. Please have at least 5 members from your region to help carry flags. More than 5 would be nice. I assigned 4 regions for Friday since contestants have started going home by then. If there are not enough contestants for all of the flags, then they will be asked to carry a second flag. If you have a member that likes to carry sponsor flags, they are welcome to help at any performance. Some understand it is a good way to get their horse in the arena before competition.

Contestants will be asked to hold the flag pole upright and make one lap around the edge of the arena at a slow lope so that the sponsor flag is displayed behind them while the announcer reads the script for their flag.

HOURS OF OPERATION: Sunday: 9:00 - 6:00 Monday & Tuesday: 7:30 - 4:30 Wednesday - Friday: 9:00 - 6:00 Saturday: 9:00 - 3:00 CATCH THE SHUTTLE: Front of the Coliseum Outdoor Arena Shopping Mall Front Gate

PERFORMANCE REPORT

ANOTHER YEAR IN THE BOOKS C

By Jadyn Duggan

– Performance Reporter

ongratulations to all of our State Finals qualifiers, our high school graduates, our scholarship winners, and to everyone for surviving yet another school year! As summer begins school actives come to a holt and slam packed schedules begin to check themselves off. For most, their summer will begin with the Texas High School Rodeo Finals; for some it will be their last time competing in Abilene, Texas as a THSRA member, some still have a few more go rounds, and for the rest it will be their first time ever competing at the Taylor County EXPO Center as a

THSRA member.

Region One is beyond excited to be sending the following to represent us on such a large, competitive stage. Congratulations to Ashlie Russell, Benjamin James, Bonner Voss, Brandalyn Ellis, Brody McCreary, Carsen Norris, Carson Christian, Cash Johnson, Coby Mason, Cooper Norris, Dalli Simmons, Dawson Gleaves, Devan Running, Emery Mask, Emmi Winnings, Garrett Miller, Gracie Tucker, Gus Gillard, Hadley Albracht, Harris DAWSON GLEAVES Albracht, Jake Baca, Jayda Jameson, Josh Mardis, Kagan Pillars, Kallen Johnson, Karlie Harter, Kason Vigil, Kater Tate, Katie Harter, Kaylee Mitchell, Kelli Frazier, Kenli Johnson, Kooper Huddleston, Kyler McClendon, Layton Butler, Lexi Baca, Logan Martin, Mattie Hodges, Natalie Russell, Rachel Mardis, Remi Didway, Robbyn Wells, Rowdy Norwood, Rylee Johnson, Slade Baumann, Spencer Clemenets, Stetson Jameson, Tierra McCorkell, Trinity Gonzales, Tyler Espenson, Wyatt Culver-Wells, Wyatt Mask, and Zach Nicholson.

As we begin to pack trailers and hit the road, Region One wants to remind everyone of our safety tips. While there are many things to take into consideration when it comes to trailer safety these are just a few to always remember as we begin to travel this summer. Staying alert of others on the road, off our phones and keeping all doors, gates and windows shut along with the many other, more common safety rules will ensure we all have safe travels these busy months to come. Again we congratulate everyone on another successful year and wish our EMMI WINNINGS seniors the best of luck as they begin college.

PERFORMANCE REPORT

T

By MADALYN RICHARDS – Performance Reporter

he pre-rodeo agenda for the majority of rodeos is typically the same every time. The contestants ride in a grand entry as sponsor flags are carried, the national anthem is played, and the announcer says a quick prayer. The contestants and parents then go on to get ready for a day of rodeo. But in Region 2, what goes on before the rodeo is a little different.

At 8:45, before the start of the rodeo at 9:00, Region 2 contestants gather behind the arena for a “Power Up”. During Power Up, either a parent or contestant gives a 10-minute inspirational message. The contestants are usually sitting on their horses, listening intently to whoever is speaking. The goal of Power Up is to motivate and uplift the contestants before the rodeo begins.

Occasionally, Kenny Stewart, our Region 2 president, will share during Power Up. While other times, parents, Chuck Senter or Joe Waters will speak to the contestants. And from time to time, the contestants will give the Power Ups. For example, before the second performance of our Region Finals

began, senior, Rayme Jones shared a Power Up with our region. Throughout her Power Up, Rayme spoke about adversity. Because it was the region finals, the listeners were bound to face adversity throughout the weekend. Whether it was a bad calf that cost someone a trip to state, a down barrel that cost someone the region title, or even an extremely sick horse, the challenges and setbacks at the finals were inevitable. In Rayme’s Power Up she highlighted a few bible verses that are aimed toward helping people through these hardships. In Psalms 34:19, the bible says that the Lord will deliver us from all our troubles. Psalms 27:5, says: For in the time of trouble, He will keep me safe in His dwelling; He will hide me in the shelter of His tabernacle and set me high upon a rock. Rayme also said, “God does not promise us an easy road, but he does promise to never abandon us.

We must always remember that God has a greater plan. And, no matter how bad our situation is, there is always someone else going through something worse.”

Her Power Up was very fitting for the situations that the contestants and parents encountered throughout the weekend.

Rayme’s Power up is not the only one that has been encouraging throughout the course of the year. There have been countless other Power Ups that have helped the people in Region 2 as well. As we head into state, Region 2 would like to share our Power Up message with all of the other regions. Sharing inspirational knowledge about how God can help us, how we can encourage each other, and how to handle ourselves through a long, challenging week of ups and downs can help everyone to achieve success.

The members of Region 2 truly appreciate the organization and planning that is put into our Power Ups. Jody and our officers work very hard to make sure that the members of Region 2 have every opportunity to become their best in and out of the arena.

PERFORMANCE REPORT

Cherish Everything

A

By KYLEE SCRIBNER

– Performance Reporter

s my time as Region III’s reporter is coming to a close, I would like to say thank you for this marvelous opportunity. The memories and the laughs that Region III has had this year will be cherished forever.

Throughout the course of this year’s season I have had the opportunity to meet many new people, try many new things, and make memories that will last a lifetime. Most importantly there was a lesson that I learned during this journey of my senior year that I would love to share with you. That lesson is to take absolutely nothing for granted.

Each of us are abundantly blessed with many things in our lives, and sometimes we forget to stop and be thankful for it all. In a blink of an eye everything can change in our lives, and in that instance we realize exactly what we have to be thankful for. The little things that we expect to never change are the things that we take for granted most in our lives. For instance, our friends and family that are by our sides every step of the way, the talented athletes that we compete on, and the miracle working God that we serve.

Each of theses things we encounter every day, and many times we just take

them for granted without a second thought.

Personally I have seen things change for me in the blink of an eye, and in the end the only thing I regret was not cherishing the time I had when I had these things. Therefore, in the end the only thing I want to leave my readers with is: cherish everything you have every chance you get, because you never know when it will be taken from you. Life will hand you ups and downs along the way. You may not have the perfect run, you may not catch your calf, you may not make the finals, but in the end you will always have something in your life to be thankful for.

Region III has provided me with so many blessings, friendships, and opportunities, and I will forever be grateful for everything it has given me. As I continue on my journey out of highschool I wish you all good luck in your futures, and ask that you cherish every second of every day. So with this I leave you all with a thank you, a good luck with your future, give it all you can, and be grateful for everything you encountered on your journey. In the end you will be able to say “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith”.

Farm & Ranch Family The folks at McCoy’s Building Supply understand that it takes a lot of hard work and the whole family pitching in to get things done on a farm or ranch. That’s why we’d like to take some time out to salute Texas High School Rodeo Association families who are farmers and ranchers. In our monthly Farm & Ranch Family Spotlight, we’ll feature one family, sharing their story of how they work together as a family to make their farm or ranch successful.The spotlight will run for 10 months; each month will feature a different Region. Each Regional McCoy’s Farm and Ranch Family will receive a $100 McCoy’s Gift Card. The McCoy’s Farm and Ranch Family of the Year will receive a $500 McCoy’s Gift Card and will be announced at the 2019 THSRA State Finals.

The Eddleman Family of Region X

C

by Catelyn Felts

ongratulations to the McCoy’s Farm and Ranch Family of the Month, the Eddleman’s! Dan, Sandra, and Madelyn own and operate the Oar Lock Ranch located in Worden, Montana and DeLeon, Texas, along with their dude ranch, Monster Lake Ranch located in Cody, Wyoming.

While running one ranch is enough to keep a family busy, the Eddleman’s manage to successfully juggle three ranch locations spread out across the states at a time. They all three work toward keeping traditional ranching alive with their cow/calf operation, horse breeding program and creat-

ing a western experience for all who enter the gates of their dude ranch. The Oar Lock Ranch in Montana has been in the family for nearly four generations, and expanded into DeLeon, Texas in 2013. Now, the family splits their time between the the north and the south. Their cattle and breeding programs are kept on the ranges of Montana, while their horse training program runs smoothly in the land of covered arenas.

The Eddleman horse breeding program started with Dan’s grandfather, JW Eddleman. Dan and his grandfather worked to breed and train the horses resulting with success in the PRCA realms during the 80s receiving AQHA Horse of the Year in the tie-down roping with one of Mr. JW’s horses. From there, Dan has trained several horses that have carried multiple world champions to the pay window including Tom Ferguson, Roy Cooper, D.R. Daniels, Chris Lybbert, Dee Pickett, and Mike Beers. Sandra is no stranger to the horse training world as she has trained a few horses that helped her see success in the futurity and pro rodeo circuits as well.

The horsemanship genes were passed down to Madelyn as she handles majority of the training nowadays. She rides an average of 10 colts per day with the help of her friend, Aubrie Copenhaver.

“I focus on simplicity more than anything,” Madelyn said. “There are a lot of new training methods, but I believe the best way to get a horse broke and get their mind underneath them is miles and wet saddle pads.” She also added it can be a little bit more difficult to get high mileage on a horse in Texas compared to Montana. Especially considering the ride from her barn to the arena alone in Montana is two and a half miles one way. Madelyn said she likes to build a foundation by starting each of the horses on the barrel pattern, roping on each of them, and just spending time riding.

While Dan heads up the cattle operation, Sandra heads up the horse breeding program, and Madelyn does all of the training, each of them share duties and responsibilities as needed. “We do whatever we need to do to keep our heads above water,” Madelyn said.

It wouldn’t be possible to put in the hours it takes to train horses and ranch if there wasn’t a deep passion for the industry. The family said the main motivator for them, in addition to ranching being in their blood, is the desire to keep the ranching tradition alive. “We’re kind of a dying breed,” the family said. “Ranching isn’t what it used to be, and if we don’t keep doing it, who else is gonna do it?”

Majority of their time is spent horseback or traveling back and forth between Montana, Wyoming and Texas. In the downtime, Madelyn said she really enjoys singing. She is currently gearing up to college rodeo for Weatherford College, and while a degree is a nice asset to have, she is working for a career in rodeo and music. Sandra and Dan, on the other hand, are working toward figuring out how to divvy up their time among the ranches since Madelyn will no longer be at home!

The family said they are very grateful to be selected as the McCoy’s Farm and Ranch Family of the Month. “That’s the thing about rodeo, it’s a whole family,” Madelyn said. “It’s such a blessing to be able to meet the people I have met and feel like I am a part of something that is so amazing.”

I think it’s safe to say Madelyn and her parents are a part of more than just an amazing rodeo family, they are also playing their part in keeping the ranching tradition alive.

Congratulations to the Eddleman’s!

Bloomer Trailers high school rodeo team

loomer Trailers and the Bloomer Family have dedicated the past 13 years in helping shape the future of rodeo by sponsoring a team each year to go through an in depth program that will compete at the IFYR in Shawnee, Oklahoma also referred to as the "Cheyenne of High School Rodeo". Randy Bloomer, Owner and CEO of Bloomer Trailer Mfg., Inc. feels the future of rodeo can be better with not only the support system of the parents but also the communities and business leaders in the western industry.

Over the past thirteen years Bloomer Trailers High School Rodeo Team has produced several National High School Rodeo Champions, CNFR Champions, NFR Qualifiers, several PRCA Rookies of the Year and a PRCA World Champion. Each of the professional athletes have reflected that their training with the Bloomer program has helped their career tremendously.

This year Bloomer Trailers has chosen 33 athletes from 11 states after a careful selection process. They host a team meeting for members and their families for a weekend in March in Salado, Texas. Bloomer Trailers along with Bloomer Pro Team Cowboys teach each athlete that goes through the program about many aspects in the professional world of rodeo as well as handling real life situations. The team meeting prepares the athletes in several areas including; interviewing for television/radio, professional photo shoots, obtaining sponsors, live filming and the professional side of rodeo. Randy Bloomer host the meeting along with photographers and production teams, guest speakers including Bloomer Pro Team athlete Sage Kimzey and World Champion Bareback Rider Tim O’Connell, Broadcasters and TV personalities Alexis Bloomer and Chris Rankin. The keynote speaker this year was Green Beret John Wayne Walding. Team members also work with companies such as Panhandle Slim, Rock and Roll Denim and Justin Boots.

Both Justin Boots and Panhandle Slim started with the program in 2007 and are a valued part of the event.

Bloomer Trailers is proud to be the Official Trailer of the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo, THSRA, World Series of Team Roping, National Reined Cowhorse Association, Bob Feist Invitational and Pendleton Roundup.

PERFORMANCE REPORT

A New Journey

W

By JESSEE YOUNG – Performance Reporter

hat a year! June seemed so far away when we started this season. For the seniors it’s more than just the end of the season it’s the beginning of a new journey, with many decisions and being self-dedicated as we enter the next chapter of our lives. Many of us will step up to the next level to the college division. Even though we leave our High School Rodeo days, the friendships and memories we have made will last forever. For so many of us Rodeo has made us what we are today and we will be forever grateful. As seniors we hope that we leave a lasting impression and lead by example to our fellow

members.

Region 4 finals came to an end March 27-29-2019. Congratulations to the event winners and Good Luck to the State qualifiers.

Makenzie Mayes a Region 4 Freshman took home the title of All Around Cowgirl and Rookie Cowgirl. Her plan for State is to have her horses ready to perform and to do their best to make Nationals. No matter the outcome she said she is going to have fun and enjoy being able to compete at this level and come back stronger next season.

Region 4’s Max Mathis is All Around Cowboy. His plan for State is to make good solid runs in every event. It has been a very long year, a hard battle, but he’s looking forward to the opportunities he can obtain this year and can take advantage of.

As Seniors we would like to say, stay focused, be kind, work hard and never give up. You may be having a bad day, brush it off, work harder and your day will come. A BIG thank you to our Parents, Region 4 Directors and Board, for all our memories and helping pave our way to our next journey.

Good Luck to all the State Qualifiers June 9-15th ,2019 in Abilene, Texas.

National High School Rodeo Finals Rock Springs, WY. July 14-20th,2019.

CHET WEITZ OF REGION X

by Catelyn Felts

The Whataburger Whatakid is selected due to their ability to excel both in and out of the rodeo arena. Whataburger is proud to recognize a THSRA member from each of the ten Regions who truly upholds the title “Whatakid!” One of the nominees will be chosen at the State Final Rodeo in June as the Whatakid of the Year. In recognition of this accomplishment they will receive free Whataburgers for an entire year!

C

ongratulations to the Whatakid of the month, Chet Weitz! The Region 10 native resides in Mason, Texas and is a senior at Mason High School. He heads in the team roping and ropes calves as well.

Chet will be finishing up his fourth year of THSRA competition this year. Throughout his time as a member, Chet said THSRA has created a lot of opportunities and friendships he might not have gotten had he not been a member.

“THSRA gives opportunities to high school kids, like myself, to further their rodeo career and have a better chance of being able to get to the professional level,” Chet said. He also mentioned the lessons he has learned and the character traits THSRA has helped develop. “Being a part of THSRA, and just the rodeo world as a whole, has helped me with the importance of responsibility, commitment, dedication, accountability, being respectful, and trustworthy,” he said. "There are a lot of people in the rodeo world who you meet, and build relationships with and you rely on them and they rely on you and you have to trust them and they have to trust you. It’s a community.”

He has been able to carry those traits into his extracurricular activities as well. Chet is a member of National Honor Society, UIL, the A-Honor Roll and he plays tennis, golf and basketball.

A typical day in the life of Chet starts at 6:15 in the morning with getting ready for school, a 45-minute drive one way to get to school, two hours of after school tennis practice, and then home to rope for two to three hours every afternoon. Once he’s gotten his practice in, he starts homework

32

at around eleven in the evening and then gets ready for bed and prepares to do it all over again the next morning!

A common denominator amongst those who grow up in the rodeo world, is dedication and Chet is no exception.

He said he stopped playing football and baseball so he could dedicate more time to roping. The time he spends in the practice pen or at rodeos could be time spent studying or hanging out with friends, but when asked what makes the sacrifices worth it, he said he loves to win. “I like the way rodeo demonstrates the cowboy way of life, but in addition to that, I love to be on top. I don’t want to be the first loser, I want to win,” Chet said.

And, while the desire and confidence was apparent in Chet’s tone of voice, so was the humility and gratitude. He has seen a good deal of success throughout his rodeo career including qualifying for the National High School Rodeo Finals, winning the Roy Cooper, Barry Burk and Joe Beaver Ropings, two Ultimate Calf Roping finals, and qualifying for the Jr. NFR amongst other various wins. He was also recently granted Rodeo Fame’s Lane Frost award in Las Vegas.

Behind great success is typically great support. Rodeo is a family affair for the Weitz family as Chet’s little sister is also a THSRA member, and both of their parents have rodeoed in the past. “Being together as a family and being able to practice together, we get to spend a lot of quality time together,” Chet said. “We are all doing something we love and that brings us closer together as a family.” Chet went on to express how thankful he was for all his family and friends have done and sacrificed to help him chase his own dreams.

In the fall Chet will be attending Texas Tech University with a rodeo scholarship. He is planning on double majoring in wildlife biology and agri-business. While his first goal is to rodeo professionally and qualify for the NFR, he is also interested in continuing his family business on Weitz Ranch.

Chet said he is very honored to be selected as the Whatakid of the month.

“It means a lot because there are so many kids to choose from in Region 10 and for me to be selected is an honor,” Chet said. “I’m very humbled and honored.”

We wish Chet all the best as he finishes up this season of life and heads into a new one!

PERFORMANCE REPORT

A NEW START AT STATE

M

By HARLEY JO PERKINS – Performance Reporter

aybe you struggled in your region this year and barely qualified for state due to horse injuries, personal injuries, or just not being able to work it out in the arena. Or, maybe you had the best year you’ve had in your rodeo career and finished way out in front with no doubts or worries on your mind.

No matter how you finished at your region, the rodeo season isn’t over just yet. In fact, it’s just getting started.

For the ones who couldn’t seem to get it right in the arena at regions, maybe state is the place where it all comes together. All that hard work and commitment to stick with it could bring new arena records or the new highest go round score. You could go home with a state championship title or with goals achieved that you thought you may not reach this year. To the ones who finished strong in their region, congratulations on an awesome year.

Continue to build your confidence and keep working and practicing in the same manner. Don’t become too prideful in your performance for we all know how fast things can go wrong. Work humbly and encourage your friends and fellow contestants by

your actions and speech.

Maybe, just maybe, the Lord is asking you to trust in Him to bring something new and amazing to the arena. Ezekiel 36:26 encourages, “ I will give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit in you. I will take out your stoney, stubborn heart and give you a tender, responsive heart.” Just as He gives us a new heart and new spirit, He will give us new hope and excitement for our state finals and upcoming rodeos. Be encouraged to be filled with excitement and energy when you practice for Abilene. Allow that new hope He has given you to overflow into your attitude and actions, as well as your performances. Good luck to all state qualifiers as Abilene draws nearer and nearer. Praying for safe travels and praying that you keep your trust in the Lord and allow Him to give you a new hope and excitement for 2019 State Finals!

– Performance Reporter

s we get closer and closer to state finals, I would like to recognize all of our seniors: Jennifer Balentine, Charlsey Rae Bass, Emily Becker, Casey Crow, Kacey Deckert, Gabrielle Garcia, Trace Herndon, Jesse Hines, Cole Karisch, Andrew Lively, Mayce Marek, Cheyanne Martin, Colton Miller, Hailey Moore, Jayce Mozisek, Holden Murphy, Hunter Mutz, Presley Pence, Kirby Rawlinson, Colby Shelton, Miles Svoboda, Erica Tiner, Hector Tovar and Skylar Wood. Goodluck at your last THSRA rodeo and life after high school. You will be greatly missed and forever remembered as a part of the Region 6 family!

Senior, Hailey Moore has been a member of THSRA all four years.

Hailey and her horse, Bully, have had a long journey together throughout her high school rodeo career. In 2016, Hailey’s freshman year, Bully became blind in his left eye and started having a number of problems. She did the best she could to treat his problems and prevent him from further injuries.

By the end of the year with all the

chaos, Bully pulled through and qualified Hailey for state in barrels.

During this time of uncertainty, Hailey had to lean back and rely on her faith.

She learned to trust in the Lord through the times of the good and the bad and remember that He has a plan. “I would like to encourage all high schoolers that you can do anything you put your mind to if you work hard at it. Your failures mold you into who you are and your success makes it all worth it”. Hailey is planning on attending Lonestar College in Montgomery, Texas to pursue her rodeo career on Bully. Goodluck Hailey in Abilene and college!

There will be many fun events in Abilene such as Primetime, Hooey Olympics, shopping, etc., but it is important to stay focused on the reason why you’re there.

Remember that you’re there to compete and take care of your horses like they take care of you. All the hard work and effort put into qualifying for state still applies in Abilene. Make sure to find a balance on spending time with friends and horses so that Region 6 can dominate! Have fun, be safe and work hard!

I would like to congratulate Hadley Harris for taking over the Region 6 Ariat reporter for the 2019-2020 year. It has been a privilege to be able to write for Region 6 for the last year. A big thanks to everyone who has helped me from interviewing to sending pictures, it is greatly appreciated. Best of luck to all of Region 6 contestants at junior high and high school state finals!

MACKENZIE BRYCE OF REGION VII

by Catelyn Felts

The Whataburger Whatakid is selected due to their ability to excel both in and out of the rodeo arena. Whataburger is proud to recognize a THSRA member from each of the ten Regions who truly upholds the title “Whatakid!” One of the nominees will be chosen at the State Final Rodeo in June as the Whatakid of the Year. In recognition of this accomplishment they will receive free Whataburgers for an entire year!

O

ver the years region secretaries have the privilege of watching high school rodeo members as they grow up. They see them in countless “pressure” situations and get to know them outside of the arena as well.

Region VII’s secretary, Celina Fetty, wrote the following article about why they chose their Whatakid, Mackenzie Bryce.

Mackenzie is one of those young ladies that goes above and beyond no matter what she is faced with.

She is always willing to jump in help anyone no matter what the outcome might be. Mackenzie is the kind of young lady that exemplifies and embodies that of a true role model. She has great leadership skills that have allowed her to be confident yet humble in any environment. She is one of the most hard working young ladies I have had the pleasure of working with.

She is honest, respectful, poliet, and dependable.

When she is in the arena or out of the arena you will always find Mackenzie working. She is extremely dedicated to making sure her animals are always taken care of.

Mackenzie has always taken a personal stake in each and every horse

she rides. Mackenzie can often be found in the rodeo office as well.

On countless occasions she has helped in our region rodeo office behind the desk and running errands when something is needed.

In life we all have bad days, some more than others. No matter the situation going on in any particular day you will never see Mackenzie respond mean or dismissive. This young lady can brighten a room with her smile. She has the kindest heart and always encourages and supports the other competitors around her. On many occasions I have witnessed Mackenzie mentor some of the younger girls and cheer for them as they make their runs. She is a true asset to any organization.

Scholastically, Mackenzie is an amazing student. She takes her classes seriously and has always strived to do her very best in each class. She takes her future very seriously and is working hard to achieve all her goals in life with hard work and a strong belief in Christ.

Mackenzie is an A Honor Roll student and is strong, resilient, dedicated, hard working, loyal, and supportive young lady. I would be very proud to call her my own and to have her mentor any young girl with no doubt in my mind that they will only thrive under her guidance.

Mackenzie is currently employed at FitHorse by Equatics Fitness Center in Kingsville, Texas and swims and conditions horses everyday. She has been riding the derby horses for the last 6 months or so.

Mackenzie single handley organized a Hurricane Harvey relief fund for those in need. The relief came from several communities and and spanned several counties in South Texas. When you ask her why her response is simple “She just felt like she needed to do something for those who suffered loss”. Mackenzie also reached out to our NHSRA families and with their help were able to help a family in Region VIII who had significant damage to their home.

When Mackenzie is not helping at the pool you can find her processing and feeding cattle. Mackenzie can sort and load a truck with cattle better than most men.

If you ask her what some of her favorite childhood memories are she would probably say learning to count by counting cattle.

Mackenzie is truly an amazing young lady and embodies that of a Whatakid!

PERFORMANCE REPORT THE IMPORTANCE

OF OUR SPONSORS renting faculties to have the rodeos at.

The stock needed for contestants to compete on. The judges, officials

By JAYCI LEE BYLER – Performance Reporter and secretary's saleventy five years ago, we didn't ary. The prizes and need to rely on a sponsor to supply added money for for our rodeos. It was usually at contestants....the someone's ranch, were cattle were being lists goes on and gathered and branded. A fellow cowboys on. wife would be secretary and gather entry Without sponfees and side wagers. Two ranch hands sors, we do not have CEILY SIMPTON JR HIGH GOATS would be pick up men, neighboring a rodeo. Sponsors ranchers were the judges. Today rodeos play such a major role in keeping our rodeo from going away. Could you imagine are held at multimillion dollar facilities. your life without rodeos to attend? It is unimaginable for me to think of one day there Stock and feed is shipped across coun- are no rodeos. They're our main support to keep our rodeos going and thriving. From ties, sometimes states. Sponsors play the local high school rodeos to the NFR. Our sponsor are there to help our rodeo life a very important part in the success style continue. We depended on our sponsor for their generous checks of support. We of youth and professional rodeo. The should give them the credit for helping our staffs and volunteers put every rodeo, big funds from sponsors help to offset the or small on. Sponsors should get recognized, and their businesses supported because every little dollar helps ensure the future for the next generations of cowboys and cowgirls.

When you think of a sponsor, you might think of a business that helps rodeo succeed.

The truth is more than them just writing a check, they are allowing the western heritage to stay alive. These sponsors put their valued resources into this sport to see it survive in a world that is modernizing all around us. They are the reason why rodeo is still going on today.

I think it is amazing how we have so many sponsors today that are willing to help and work alongside the rodeo associations. I think everyone should recognize their sponsors and to congratulate them for all the work that they have put into this sport of rodeo and our rodeo community. For now with their support we still growing expenses of GUY RAASCH & WHITNEY WILLIAMS RIBBONS CHAMPIONS get to hear fellow cowboys and cowgirls holler

PERFORMANCE REPORT

grow & excel

By Mackenzie

A

Bryce – Performance Reporter

s THSRA state finals nears many contestants are reflecting on the years passed and the memories made. We, seniors will be spending our last week in Abilene as THSRA contestants. I am sure I can speak for many when I say, “we are looking forward to competing at the new facility, spending time with our friends and making new friendships”.

As a senior, I would like to thank NHSRA and THSRA for the many opportunities they have given me and my peers. I started out my “career” as a shy and timid sixth grader, who was scared to even lope the pattern. This association has taught me many things. One of the most important skills it has taught me is responsibility. Being an

event director and student officer for the past seven years has taught me to be responsible and to take care of my job in a timely manner. Something else I have gained is a second family. This second family is made up of people from our region and others who have become some of our closest friends. These friendships are ones that I hope to keep for a long time. Its safe to say that because of this organization I have come out of my shell. I have become a leader in my region and have become a true competitor compared to my sixth-grade self.

I would like to say farewell and thank you to an organization that has made me grow as a person and a competitor. I am sure I can speak for many seniors by saying we are grateful to everyone who has made this NHSRA and THSRA the association they are. Our national, state, and region volunteers, officers and sponsors have given us great opportunities to grow and excel.

Though our region rodeos have ended, which brought about an end to the high school rodeo career from many of Region IX seniors, the end to a bigger chapter is approaching for seniors everywhere – High School.

Several seniors shared their future goals and thoughts about their years at Region IX.

Favorite memory of THSRA Region IX: I arrived at one of the rodeos and my barrel horse had a huge gash on her shoulder, and I didn’t have a backup horse. My friend, Ashlyn Wright, offered me her barrel horse so I could still compete that weekend. It is by far my favorite memory.

After high school, we are all going to different colleges, and it is going to be sad not seeing them at the rodeos Who would you like to thank: I would like to thank Lorissa Merritt and Laura Avery; they have been my biggest supporters and have always helped me tune my barrel horses and hauled me up and down the road.

PERFORMANCE REPORT

I

By BRITTNE

THOMAS – Performance Reporter

t is at the time when the school year is almost over, and we are going into the next chapter. Either the chapter is going into the next grade or graduating school and starting a going into the real world. When an eighth grader is going into ninth grade (Freshman) is a big step. Not only are they going to a different school they are also competing against seniors. It is a big step for them to going to high school.

Saige Brown is an eighth grader and is going to be a freshman after she goes back to school once summer is over. This year she was Region X’s

president helped keep everything smoothly the best she could. She decided she wanted to be our president because she wanted to help a great Region. Some of her responsibilities are to make sure that our sponsor flags are ready to go when we do grand entry. Saige also help both the student and adult event director when they need help with anything. She participated in Goat Tying, Breakaway, and was a ribbon runner. She qualified to junior high state in all her events. She is ready to compete in high school, but she is a little nervous. She is ready to compete with her friends and make new memories.

Conner Barton is also in eighth grade same as Saige Brown. He will be also going into ninth grade starting his high schooler career. He is anxious and excited to start his new chapter for high school. This year he competed in team roping, breakaway, goats, ribbon roping, and chute dogging. He is very talented in all his events he participates in. He gives everything he has in each event when he enters the arena. He made it to state in Breakaway and chute dogging and very eager to compete with the best. He is going to be up against some obstacles along the way, but he is ready to break through obstacles become better. Conner is practicing hard to become stronger and be at his best when he competes against the best sooner rather than later.

Region X is ready for the upcoming freshman to compete and show what they are made of. With the seniors leaving after state Region X is ready for the forthcoming freshman. Our region is excited to watch the eighth graders compete and to grow to become better athletes and be one of the best to compete in a arena.
