Fresno Flyer Vol 6 No 8

EDITOR’S NOTE

Writing for the Flyer has sometimes felt like sending messages into the sky - the vast unknown. Or perhaps it is more akin to writing a letter and stuffing it into a glass bottle to float at the ocean’s whim in search of a reader.

L et me be clear; I do not say that as if to suggest that I think no one reads what I write. Instead, I say it to emphasize how the communication between our writers and our readers seems to exist on a largely one-sided basis. We choose the topics, and we ground those decisions on what we assume our readers will either find important or, at least, enjoy. But “assumptions” are one of my greatest pet peeves - because you know what they say about people who assume… it makes an ass out of you and me.

The Publisher and I have long dreamed of creating a magazine like the Flyer - something local, focused on Central Valley culture, and something that reflects the honest voices of those living in it. It took us two years to build it and another six years to refine it into what you hold in your hands today. It is our labor of love. But it is not complete without the most essential part - you.

The F lyer readership is our lifeblood. We cannot exist without you, not only as our readers but also as our contributors. And I do not mean that you need to step up and embrace

your inner Walter Cronkite or W.E.B. Du Bois, but that you contribute your thoughts, opinions, or suggestions about what topics we might consider covering in the future. Even if you simply want to share your reaction to the content we published in a recent issue, I want to hear it.

Seriously, talk to me.

However, I feel like now is the appropriate time to include a disclaimer - not every suggestion passed in our direction will be chosen for future publication.

W ith that out of the way, I want to stress that I’m fully content with making educated guesses about all future topics, sending articles into the proverbial glass bottle to float in the equally proverbial ocean - so long as you keep reading them. When you stop reading is when we’ll stop writing. But it would be a lot more fun to build the Flyer’s next evolution with your opinions in mind.

The F lyer may have only a few select names on its pages and even a photo of my face, but this isn’t just for us. We wanted to build a platform so that the community could use it. So please, use it.

Take a few minutes and send me an email or even a letter (I adore getting letters in the mail). It gets lonely on this side of the ocean sometimes. We’d love to hear from you.

COWBOYS OF COLOR:

HOW THE BLACK COWBOY HELPED TAME THE WILD WEST

By Dave Fountinelle | dave@fresnoflyer.com

Few vocations are more ingrained into our culture and history than the American cowboy - the rugged, hard-working wrangler sitting atop his trusty horse under a dusty Stetson hat, driving his herd of cattle west across a vast, untamed landscape. Cowboys have always been a symbol of freedom, determination, and independence. So it’s no wonder that cowboy culture has been a mainstay of popular entertainment in the United States since the birth of movies and television. Cowboys on both the big and small screens have historically shared many of the same common characteristics. The trademark hat, boots with jingling spurs, gun belt with six-shooters slung low, a bandana around the neck - and a white complexion. The white complexion was as much a part of the cowboy’s uniform as their white hat. So uncommon was the idea of a non-white cowboy that Mel Brooks based his 1974 comedy classic Blazing Saddles around the “outrageous” notion of a Black cowboy riding into a western boomtown and becoming sheriff.

However, history reveals a starkly different truth. It may come as a surprise to learn that 1 in 4 cowboys was Black. Historians have estimated that roughly 25% of cowboys in the American West were African American. Not only were Black cowboys commonplace, but their contributions have also had a lasting impact on both the cowboy profession as well as modern rodeo competitions.

Even the name “cowboy” itself is owed directly to Black wranglers. White cowboys were initially referred to as “cowhands.” In contrast, “cowboy” was used as a pejorative term for Black riders. Its use was a carry-over from slavery and the southern plantation era, where “boy” was used to refer to a Black male regardless of age. Many southerners moved to the West after the Civil War ended. As a result, they brought their nomenclature along with them. Despite the racism prevalent in the post-Civil War American West, being a cowboy was one of the few professions that provided Black men and women a level of freedom and autonomy that was almost unheard of in the late 1800s.

While they were enslaved, many African Americans worked as ranch and stable hands, often assisting their enslavers on cattle drives. After the Civil War ended, many newly-freed African Americans mi-

grated West, where their skills would prove useful in the cattle industry. Black cowboys were taught the cowboy way of life by their former enslavers, Native American cattle handlers, or Mexican Vaqueros. Vaqueros were the original cowboys of the American West, and their skills transformed the cattle industry, especially in California.

The everyday life of a cowboy was a rough one regardless of their racial or ethnic background. However, Black cowboys often had it even harder than their White counterparts. Black cowboys were usually given the wildest, most unruly horses - which they had to train in order to ride them. Additionally,

in even greater demand when ranchers in Texas and Oklahoma began selling their livestock in northern states, where beef was nearly ten times more valuable.

The lack of railroads in the western states meant that enormous herds of cattle needed to be physically moved to shipping points, which required significant human resources. Ranchers hired on the newly-freed Black cowboys, whose cattle handling skills and strong work ethic quickly earned them the respect of their White counterparts. Black cowboys still faced discrimination in many towns they passed through on their drives, often being barred from eating in restaurants, drinking in saloons, or sleeping in hotels. However, among their White crew members, the Black cowboys were treated with a level of respect and equality rarely shown to other African Americans.

nia. Vaqueros were renowned for their exceptional roping and riding skills. Black cowboys soon discovered that the techniques they had learned from vaqueros adapted perfectly to the theatrics of Wild West shows and rodeo competitions.

Bill Pickett is one of the most famous early Black rodeo stars. Pickett was born in 1870 and was a child of formerly enslaved people. He dropped out of school to become a ranch hand, where he developed a method of catching stray cows that quickly earned him international attention. Pickett was inspired by watching how cattle dogs would put cows off balance and eventually subdue them. So Pickett applied a similar strategy of pinching the cow’s lip, which would subdue it enough for him to flip the cow on its side and quickly bind its legs with rope. Pickett called this method “bulldogging,” and both the term and its execution were precursors to rodeo’s modern steer wrestling event.

African American cowboys were expected to perform more than just their one-hired duty on a cattle drive. For example, a Black cowboy hired as a trail cook would be expected to cook, hunt deer and other wild game, entertain his fellow cowboys on the trail by singing or playing a musical instrument, and assist the other cowboys with their jobs. Some Black cowboys also filled the role of nurse, bodyguard, and money transporter for White cattlemen.

Black cowboys found themselves

By the turn of the century, large cattle drives were coming to an end —thousands of miles of new railroad lines connected western towns to shipping routes. The invention of barbed wire solved the need for hired hands to constantly monitor and contain large cattle herds. Lastly, the forced relocation of Indigenous tribes to reservations decreased the need for additional cowboys to provide security for cattle teams. This left many cowboys to face a rough transition. It was particularly difficult for Black cowboys, who still weren’t allowed to buy land and were thus prevented from pivoting into farming or ranching the way their white counterparts were able to do.

While traditional work opportunities for the cowboy were drying up, the public’s fascination with the cowboy way of life would create a new source of income in the form of Wild West shows and rodeos. As Black cowboys continued to move West, they regularly worked with Mexican vaqueros in Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, and Califor-

In 1972, 40 years after his death, Bill Pickett became the first Black honoree in the National Rodeo Hall of Fame. In 1984, Lu Vason formed the Bill Pickett Invitational Rodeo in his honor. It is the only touring Black rodeo in the country, and this year it will be making stops in Oakland and Los Angeles.

The Black cowboy is still underrepresented in the history of the American West. Most popular accounts of the era focus on men like Pickett or Nat Love - a formerly enslaved person turned cowboy who also became a famous rodeo star. However, most Black cowboys lived lives that were modest and ordinary. They had limited access to social mobility and the opportunity to parlay their skills into a lucrative entertainment career. While most Black cowboys haven’t received the recognition of exceptional riders like Pickett and Love, their contribution to the history of the American West is no less significant. Both the Black cowboy and the Mexican vaquero were essential to settling the western United States. And without the Black cowboy’s adaptation of the riding and roping skills learned from vaqueros, rodeo competitions might look vastly different than they do today.

The Bill Pickett Invitational Rodeo will be in Oakland July 9th-10th and in Los Angeles July 16th and 17th.

Sit Beside Me, Let us talk

NATIONAL GARLIC FESTIVAL TAKES ROOT IN FRESNO

Festival Organizers Rightfully Claim Fresno County “Garlic Capital of the United States”

By Nancy Zanicchi-Bobb newbeginningconsulting11@gmail.com

Whenwe have something to say to someone, it is best to sit, share, and explain. We should use our wordsrather than stand in front of one another in a confrontational power struggle. Let us sit, share, and listen to what each of us has to say. The interpretation should lead us to be calmer and less threatening with little or no persecution.

When we speak to one another, there is a speaker and a listener; both should focus on hearing the other’s message. However, sometimes the listener misinterprets the shared message. The conversation can then become inflammatory, with escalated emotions reaching elevated levels in our voices. Therefore, having a technique with rules for both the speaker and listener is crucial to maintaining respect for an amicable outcome.

Technique for Improved Communication:

• Begin by sitting side by side, looking at one another, not front to front. It is less aggressive.

• Set forth the technique’s rules before reiterating that respect and compassion are integrated throughout the speaker’s message.

• No interruptions when the person speaking has the floor.

FRESNO, CA. Some have called it one of the greatest boosts to our local economy, tourism and Fresno County’s Reputation in decades. Others have called it a fantastic idea whose time has come.

Peter De Young, CEO of the Fresno based National Food Festivals, inc. says, “it’s time to invite the world to Fresno County for some delicious fun.” On May 13,14, and 15 of this year, Fresno County will be celebrated as the one, true, “GARLIC CAPITAL OF THE UNITED STATES”. The soon to be annual “National Garlic Festival” event will take place from 11am to 11pm each day (11am to 9pm Sunday) at The Big Fresno Fairgrounds. Discounted Presale tickets will go on sale on Wednesday 2/16 at www.NationalGarlicFestival.com

“Most people don’t realize that Fresno County is the true Garlic Capital of the

United States, and has been for a very long time, De Young said. He added, while other communities process our garlic, our farmers grow far more fresh garlic than any other county in the U.S. It’s time for all of us to stand proud and celebrate it!”

The national event will feature more than 300 garlic inspired foods (yes –even free garlic ice cream) multiple beer and wine gardens, a garlic foods pavilion, and garlic agriculture showcase, six performance stages, a large carnival and midway, nightly fireworks, an amazing car show, and a main performance stage with nationally recognized performers (which will be gradually announced over the coming months). Additionally, the festival will feature a team of wellknown Food Network celebrity chefs who will teach attendees dozens of gar-

lic inspired dishes. The Paul Paul Theater will be converted into a full-blown kitchen stadium for thousands of garlic fans to catch all the cooking demo fun. The Festival coordinators are working to break the world record for attendance at a garlic festival of 109,067 attendees, making the event the largest garlic festival in the world.

Our National Garlic Festival & Food Expo is dedicated to our healthcare heroes – from doctors, nurses, lab technicians, to EMT’s and others. Every medical worker will be invited to attend the festival at no cost (by presenting a valid work ID at the gate). A small recognition of the enormous sacrifices they’ve made over the last 3 years to keep us well.

Masks For Dummies XXI

By I. smiley G. Calderón | smileygcalderon@gmail.com

Whenyou take a good look at the verifiable world Covid data at reputable sources like Johns Hopkins, you can see the pandemic move across the globe in unique and interesting trends. For example, we are not doing too bad right now compared to the rest of the world. What do I mean?

In the past month, about a dozen other countries have experienced worse Covid infection spikes than the United States. Believe it or not, South Korea is doing the worst right now, with about 9.4 million new confirmed cases in just the past month alone. And Germany is runner-up with 5.7 million new cases, followed by Vietnam and then France, with 5.6 million and 2.8 million cases, respectively. We’ve had 879,750 new Covid cases here at home this past month. The hotspots right now across the globe are in Europe and East Asia.

But don’t get too excited for us just yet.

The U.S. still leads the way in deaths. That’s right—all deaths. In total deaths, recent deaths, long-term deaths, and short-term deaths—we’re number one when it comes to Covid deaths. We’ve lost over 23,000 dear souls to the coronavirus this past month alone. Overall, we’ve lost over 982,377 friends, beloved family members, coworkers, and acquaintances in this devastating pandemic. We should pass the grim one million death mark by the end of this month.

To put this in perspective, let’s see how many deaths each of the hotspot countries mentioned above have. We’ll start with South Korea: 17,453 total Covid deaths. And in the past month, 8,357 deaths. This means that South Korea experienced about half of its Covid deaths just last month. And, of course, 8,357 Covid deaths in a single month is a tragedy in every sense of the word—but those numbers are lightweight for us. Germany, the next most active current Covid hotspot, has had a total of 130,052 Covid deaths, with 5,921 deaths this past month. Finally, in Vietnam and France, they have experienced a total of 42,600 and 143,540 Covid deaths, with 1,787 and 3,244 deaths occurring this past month alone, respectively.

The difference is staggering with grim implications. How has the most advanced and powerful country in the world—with the best medical technology at our disposal—suffered so many Covid deaths? Our numbers are astronomically high compared to the rest

of the world; it’s almost unbelievable. The following countries with the highest total Covid death tolls, Brazil and India, have 660,410 and 521,358 deaths, respectively. This tiny little SARS-CoV-2 virus has outsmarted and outmaneuvered us in the most disrespectful ways. It has shown us how truly weak and vulnerable we are in the grand scheme of our natural animal kingdom—even with our fancy technology. But unfortunately, none of that could save our 982,377 fallen dear ones.

In this horrible pandemic, we’ve learned that we must first control transmission and community spread to prevent Covid sickness and death. But one of the main problems that we had as a country at the start of the pandemic two years ago was that people were very slow in mobilizing against it. Sure, it’s hard fighting an unseen enemy. But misinformation and fake news about Covid made it even harder. When government officials, aided by the best available medical and scientific advice at the time, recommended shutdowns, sheltering-in-place, quarantining, and mask-wearing, Americans pushed back hard and mocked these orders. And the coronavirus continued to spread voraciously.

Here in Fresno, we’ve had a total of 2,722 Covid deaths, with 12 new deaths leading up to the first week of April. Last time this month, we had 2,597 Covid deaths. That’s a 125 death increase, or about 4 Covid deaths per day this past month.

Yes, we’re doing a lot better—but we

are still in the fight for our lives. At a recent media briefing at the beginning of the month, Fresno County Interim Health Officer Dr. Rais Vohra acknowledged this progress but warned Fresnans to be vigilant and prepared for the future.

“Right now, it appears that the numbers are under control,” he reassured the county. However, he emphasized, “people should keep in mind that could change. We have to be agile and flexible. We understand how things could get worse because we’ve been there before—We’ve learned the hard way what surges can do to our health care system, to ourselves and our neighbors.”

As things warm up this April and life gets busier, let’s not forget all we’ve learned, dear reader. As you already know, our number one weapon against Covid transmission is our mask-wearing. But, of course, our number one protection against severe Covid sickness and death is our vaccine. Both are needed to crush SARS-CoV-2. Just remember: viruses need hosts to survive, and if they can’t make you their host, well, we win.

So, dear Mask Dummy, let’s keep them out and keep on winning! - - -

Speaker:

• Say what it is you would like the listener to hear. Be to the point. Be brief, no longer than a minute or two.

Listener:

• Listen to the speaker to understand, not interrupt.

• When the speaker is done, it is your turn to paraphrase, “So what I am hearing is…” and recap what you heard the other person say.

• Focus on the message received, don’t rebut.

The speaker may retake the floor to respond. Sometimes you may use a pillow or an object to refer to whoever has the floor - as something only the speaker will hold. Make sure to give this to the next person to speak. (This technique may be used for a group where everyone has an opportunity to share.)

When each of you has processed and heard the words communicated, you each have an opportunity to have the floor and repeat back what you heard. Be respectful, be patient, and remember the purpose of this exercise is to understand one another.

This technique decreases emotional flare-ups and brings people closer together as they begin to develop compassion for someone else’s feelings. Hurtful words are damaging, and it takes a long time to repair a relationship once such hurtful things are said. Anger surfaces when people react, and words bubble out that cannot be taken back. This communication technique will help prevent such a reaction and heal those who have been verbally abused. An explanation of anger and an apology using this technique is healing to help break down barriers built up after relationships have been broken. Then, we can repair, step by step, and learn to trust again.

Have a blessed and renewed Spring this April!

adventure church is suing the tower theatre. Can this marriage be saved?

By Jaguar Bennett | jaguarbennett@gmail.com

Whenwe last looked at the ongoing saga of Adventure Church’s quixotic attempt to plant a homophobic church in Fresno’s one gay neighborhood, the forces of righteousness had won a major victory. On January 19, Sequoia Brewing Company won its appeal to maintain the legal block on selling the Tower Theatre. Even better, the forces of evil were roundly punished; after finding that Tower Theatre owner Laurence Abbate had acted in bad faith, the court ordered Abbate to pay Sequoia’s legal fees.

(If you’re just tuning in to this soap opera, Sequoia has an ongoing lawsuit to block the sale of the Tower Theatre. It has been rumbling its way through the courts since early last year. Sequoia, which leases its Tower location from the Tower Theatre, argues that its lease agreement gives them the first right of refusal to buy the theater if it’s ever put up for sale. This case may be resolved sometime in 2023. It’s been a thing.)

But Abbate’s woes were just beginning. On February 9, it was reported that Adventure Church was also suing Abbate. In its court filing, Adventure Church alleged that Abbate had not disclosed Sequoia’s first right of refusal when Adventure agreed to buy the theater. As a result, Adventure demanded that its purchase of the theater be completed and, because why not, that Abbate should have to pay their legal fees as well.

If you’re keeping score, Abbate is definitely on the hook for Sequoia’s legal fees and may be forced to pay Adventure’s as well — which would serve him right for his double-dealing. Abbate is now in the hole for tens of thousands of dollars or possibly even over $100,000. Somehow I don’t believe Abbate will be remembered as a genius businessman.

On its face, Adventure would seem to have a legit case against Abbate. (Unless Adventure already knew about Sequoia’s right of first refusal when the church signed a purchase contract for the theater.) But Adventure has known about Sequoia’s first right of refusal since February of last year. If Abbate’s deceptions truly blindsided them, they could have sued him a year ago. I don’t see why they waited a year to decide they had been cheated.

One would also think that if you genuinely believed that a seller had deceived you, you would pull out of the deal. But Adventure continues to rent the theater to hold services every Sunday. So do they trust Abbate or not?

Whatever the sincerity of Adventure’s grievance against Abbate, the remedies they demand are ridiculous. If the substance of Adventure’s complaint is that Abbate did not disclose Sequoia’s right of refusal, Adventure’s suit concedes right from the start that

Sequoia has a legitimate right of first refusal. And if Sequoia indeed has first right of refusal, then that contractual right can’t be taken away just because Adventure demands it. Well, no one ever claimed that Adventure was run by smart people.

What makes this even more absurd is that, as soon as Adventure’s lawsuit was reported in the news, Adventure Church Pastor Anthony Flores released a video to his congregation insisting the lawsuit was not a genuine grievance against Abbate but merely a negotiation tactic. To me, that seems like an admission of filing a frivolous lawsuit. And why did Flores want to play negotiating hardball with his good friend Laurence Abbate? Because Abbate had been holding closed-door talks with the Fresno City Council. Rumor had it that Abbate, squeezed by Sequoia’s legal fees, was now desperate to find a buyer and was looking to the city for a bailout. (I don’t know why the obvious solution of settling with Sequoia did not occur to Abbate.) Apparently, Adventure’s lawsuit was a shot across Abbate’s bow to warn him that the church would sue if he sold to anyone else. I think it’s safe to say that Laurence Abbate is now one of the most unpopular men in the Tower District, but he brought it all on himself.

The ownership of the theater will not be settled until Sequoia’s suit against Abbate goes to trial sometime in 2023. In the meantime, Adventure Church still holds services in blatant defiance of zoning law. The city of Fresno still refuses to take any action about it, presumably out of fear of being sued by the lawsuit-happy church.

But the city has been put on the spot by a complaint filed with the Fresno City Planning Commission by Lisa Flores, a well-known gadfly at city public hearings. Flores, an opponent of Adventure Church’s takeover of the Tower Theatre, filed a complaint with the planning commission, asking the commission to deny a conditional use permit to serve alcohol at CDT Cocina, a new restaurant in the Tower Theatre building.

In her complaint, Flores argued that CDT Cocina’s liquor sales were too close to Adventure Church’s worship services and child care facilities in the same building. In response, CDT Cocina filed a letter noting that the Tower Theatre is zoned for restaurants but that Adventure’s religious and child-care services violate zoning. The planning commission considered Lisa Flores’ complaint at a March 2 meeting. I don’t yet know the result, but it will be great to put the city on record that Adventure is violating zoning.

Tim Montana. Sunday, April 10th, 8pm. Strummers, 833 E Fern Ave, Fresno.

Napalm Death, Elder Devil. Wednesday, April 13th, 8pm. Strummers, 833 E Fern Ave, Fresno. Although the name Napalm Death has existed since 1981, as the band’s first lineup plundered the post- and anarchopunk scenes for inspiration, it was 1987’s seminal Scum album that would ensure their place in the grand pantheon of heaviness. A visceral dismantling of conventions, it effectively kick-started the entire Grindcore scene, gaining Napalm Death something approaching household name status for their insane speeds, animalistic screams and uncompromising political stance. From that moment, the band became synonymous with both proudly-held ethical principles and the relentless pursuit of new ways to terrorise people with riffs and noise.

In the know for rodeo!

By Dave Fountinelle | dave@fresnoflyer.com

The Clovis Rodeo returns for the 108th time this month. From April 20th - 24th, the Clovis Rodeo Grounds will buzz with the sounds of fans cheering on their favorite riders in every event. Whether you are a long-time fan or a first-time attendee, the Flyer has put together a little Rodeo primer to help get you up to speed on all of the exciting competitions coming our way.

Roughstock Events

The first thing to know is that all Rodeo competitions fall under one of two categories: roughstock and timed events. In roughstock events, the score is determined by both the rider and the animal’s performances. To earn a qualified score, the rider - using only one hand - must stay on a bucking horse or bull for eight seconds. If the rider’s free hand touches the animal, themselves, or any of their equipment, they’re disqualified.

Bareback Riding: Without question, the toughest and most dangerous of all the roughstock events is the bareback competition. Bareback riders are subjected to more abuse, earn more injuries, and suffer more long-term damage than all other cowboys.

To stay on their horse, referred to as a “bronc,” the bareback rider uses a rigging made of leather and constructed to PRCA safety specifications. The rigging resembles a luggage handle on a strap, and it’s placed atop the horse’s withers and secured with a cinch.

As the bronc and rider burst from the chute, the rider must have both spurs touching the horse’s shoulders until its feet hit the ground after the initial move from the chute. This is called “marking out.” If the rider fails to do this, they are disqualified.

Completing a qualified ride and achieving a money-winning score requires more than just strength. A bareback rider is

also judged on their spurring technique, the degree to which their toes remain turned out while spurring, and their ability to endure whatever might come during the ride.

Saddle Bronc Riding: Saddle bronc riding is a classic rodeo event. Less dangerous and extreme than bareback or bull riding, the saddle bronc competition requires strength, to be sure. It also demands style, grace, and precise timing. The technical skill necessary to master saddle bronc riding makes it arguably the most challenging of all roughstock events.

Every move a saddle bronc rider makes must be synchronized with the horse’s movement. The rider’s objective is a fluid ride, which puts it in contrast to the wilder, less-controlled bareback rides.

Saddle and bareback bronc rides both require the rider to “mark” the horse out of the chute. However, unlike the leather handle rigging used in bareback, saddle bronc riders use only a thick rein attached to the horse’s halter. The rider tries to stay securely seated in the saddle using one hand. As with bareback, if the rider touches any part of the horse or their own body with their free hand, they are disqualified.

Bull Riding: The bull riding competition is a product of the fearless and somewhat foolhardy nature of the «cowboy» persona.

Timed Events

In timed events, riders compete against the clock and each other. Each contestant’s goal is to post the fastest time in their event. For example, calves and steers are given a head start in the roping events. The riders must then catch up to and successfully rope them in the shortest time possible.

Steer Wrestling: The objective of the steer

Rodeo Performance & Concert

wrestler, known as a «bulldogger,» is to use their strength and technique to wrestle a steer to the ground as quickly as possible. Speed and strength are everything in steer wrestling. With a world record of only 2.4 seconds, steer wrestling is the fastest event in rodeo.  While that may sound simple enough, the steer typically weighs more than twice as much as the wrestler, and they’re both often traveling at 30 miles per hour. So speed and precision are of paramount importance and make bulldogging one of rodeo’s most challenging events.

Tie-Down Roping: Like many rodeo events, the roots of tie-down roping can be traced back to the working ranches of the Old West. When calves were sick or injured, cowboys had to rope and immobilize them quickly for veterinary treatment. Ranch hands prided themselves on the speed with which they could rope and tie calves, and they soon turned their work into informal contests.

In modern tie-down roping, the mounted rider starts from the “box,” a three-sided fenced area adjacent to the chute holding the calf. The fourth side of the box opens into the arena. The rider’s success in tiedown roping depends largely on the precise teamwork between them and their horse. The calf receives a head start determined by the length of the arena. One end of a breakaway rope barrier is looped around the calf’s neck and stretched across the open end of the box. When the calf reaches its “advantage point,” the barrier is released. If the roper breaks the barrier before the calf reaches its head start, they are assessed a 10-second penalty.

The horse is trained to stop as soon as the rider throws their loop and catches the calf. The rider then dismounts, runs to the calf, and throws it by hand, a maneuver called “flanking.” Once the calf is flanked, the roper ties

any three legs together with a “pigging string” - a short, looped rope held in the rider’s teeth during the run.

After tying the calf, the roper throws their hands in the air to signal that the run is completed. The roper then remounts their horse, rides forward to create slack in the rope, and waits six seconds to see if the calf remains tied. If the calf kicks free, the roper receives no time.

Barrel Racing: In barrel racing, the goal of each competitor is to see who can complete the course in the fastest time. The course consists of three barrels placed in a triangle at the center of an arena. The rider enters the arena with the horse at full gallop, and the clock starts when they cross the starting line.

The horse and rider must complete a cloverleaf pattern around the barrels and then race back to the starting line. If any barrels are tipped during the run, a 5-second penalty is assessed for each one.

Success in barrel racing requires a strong relationship between the rider and the horse. Excellent horsemanship and athleticism are essential for a winning run.

Now that you’re up on the basics of

pro rodeo competition, you’re ready to enjoy the thrilling events that make rodeo such an exciting sport to watch. And, if you’re still hungry for more high-octane pro rodeo action after the Clovis Rodeo ends, you can follow all of the PRCA events all over the state for the rest of the rodeo season.
