Snake River Stampede | Sunday, July 14, 2013

Experience makes Snake River Stampede one of rodeo’s best events This year’s Snake River Stampede marks the 98th year the popular rodeo has been contested in Nampa. Officials point to 1915 as the official first year for the rodeo but there were bucking contests as far back as 1913 and earlier. Long-time rodeo fans know that the Snake River Stampede competition starts before the first performance gets under way on Tuesday night. There are more competitors than can be run during the five regular performances Tuesday night through the Saturday matinee, so they are run in what is called the slack competition. Then the finalists from all the regular competition will rope and ride at the finals on Saturday night. Slack will be held this year on Monday and Tuesday mornings and will run until afternoon. This event is free and open to the public. Devotees who like to see a lot of competition will be able to watch the slack and enjoy a Buckaroo Breakfast starting at 7 a.m. and ending at 10. The breakfast will be $5. Events that will be run will include barrel racing, team roping, steer wrestling and tie-down roping on Monday. The barrel racing will be first on Monday and it will start at 8 a.m. It will be followed by team roping, steer wrestling and tie down roping. There will be more tie-down roping and team roping on Tuesday morning plus another Buckaroo Breakfast. On Tuesday morning before the slack starts, a Calf Scramble Livestock Show will be held in the arena from 7:30 a.m. until 8. The animals that will be shown were won by the young people showing them at last year’s rodeo. They have raised them and groomed them for a year and will be there to show them off. All of this will happen before the rodeo officially starts at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday. Gates will open at 5:30. Pre-rodeo events which include drill teams, junior rodeo competition and mutton busting will start at 6:30. Good news to rodeo fans is that parking at the Idaho Center will be free for the rodeo. Although the city has adopted a $5 parking fee for most 6

IPT file photo events, the Stampede will absorb the fees for the rodeo. Taking a look at this year’s list of contestants is a virtual who’s who of professional rodeo with every reigning world champion and a lot of past world champions on the list. There’s a little twist in team roping. The reigning world champions are Chad Masters, Cedar Hill, Tenn., and Jade Corkill, Fallon, Nev. They have entered the Stampede but each is roping with a different partner. Masters will be roping with Randon Adams, Logandale, Nev., while Corkill will be roping with Clay Tryan of Billings, Mont. Snake River Stampede | Sunday, July 14, 2013

The event with the largest payoff will be team roping with 69 teams entered at $800 per team. Coupled with the $29,000 the Stampede puts up in the purse, they will be running at $84,200. The second largest pot of the prize money will be in tie-down roping with 100 calf ropers entered. Their payoff will be $69,000. The Stampede puts up a purse of $29,000 in each of the seven events for a total $203,000 Entry fees are decided by the event representatives and they range from $100 in saddle bronc riding to $400 in tie-down roping and team roping. The event with the largest number of entries is barrel racing with 110 ladies competing.

She rode with the Eh-Capa Bareback Riders for 13 years, performing with the group at rodeos all over the northwest and Canada.

For the past four years, Erica has performed at the Snake River Stampede as a “Stampeder,” the colorful Night Light Drill Team. Erica had the privilege of riding with the team when they rode at the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo in 2010. Erica is a member of the Idaho Cowboy’s Association as a barrel racer. Erica has spent the majority of her life training to be an athlete. She understands both the focus and determination that it takes to be a competitor and a champion.

She sends a big thank you to her sponsors and members of the Miss Rodeo Idaho and the Snake River Stampede boards for their support “I am honored to hold the title of Miss Teen Rodeo Idaho.

They may be funny, but they save lives Their funny, painted faces and baggy britches belie the seriousness of their missions. The rodeo bullfighters and barrelmen, often referred to as clowns, are in the arena to save the bull riders after they come off the backs of the big animals with their menacing horns and they often put their own lives on the line. The bullfighters work on the ground, near the action, and the minute the cowboy comes off the back of the bull, they move in to distract the bull long enough for the rider to get out of the way. Often, he is on his knees scrambling or he is running toward a barrel in order to get behind it and use it as protection. The bullfighters, in the meantime, are luring the bull’s attention away from the cowboy and toward themselves. They are as dedicated as paramedics and other service individuals who risk their lives trying to save others. And they are athletes. They work out and stay in training in order to outrun the bulls and out-maneuver them. The barrelman in the arena is often a retired bullfighter who no longer feels his reflexes and timing are good enough to be in front of the bulls. He still wants to stay in the business so he works in the barrel. He will pick it up and walk to move the barrel closer to the action so that the cowboy can get to it if he needs it for protection. His job is also dangerous as there have been times when a bull got a horn into the barrel and hooked the barrelman, who required hospitalization. He often brings along a comedy routine or two to entertain the youngsters. The bullfighters in the Snake River Stampede arena this year are Will O’Connell and Lucas Littles. The barrelman is JJ Harrison. O’Connell joined the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association in 2005 as a bull rider and saddle bronc rider and became a bullfighter in 2007. The 24-year-old bullfighter, who hails from River Falls, Wis., was a four-time qualifier to the national high school finals rodeo in saddle bronc riding and bull riding. O’Connell was named 2006 First Frontier Circuit Average Champion Bull rider, 2008-2009 Toughest Cowboy Pickup Man and ranked in the top eight at the Dodge National Circuit Finals. O’Connell’s father, Ray O’Connell, was a 16-time Great Lakes Pro Rodeo Circuit pickup man of the year. Littles has been fighting bulls for seven years and has been working in the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Assn., for three of those years. He grew up watching his uncle fight bulls and took an interest in it early in his life. Over the last four years, he has worked as a bull fighting instructor for Sankey Rodeo Schools and enjoys teaching the fundamentals of the sport. He worked at the 2012 Great Lakes Circuit Finals and many other finals for various associations. Honors include 2012 Great Lakes Circuit Bullfighter of the Year. Littles and his wife live in Carthage, Missouri. Harrison grew up in the small town of Okanogan located in Northern Washington State. It’s no surprise that he landed in his chosen profession. “I have always loved to perform and make people laugh … from the classroom to the arena,” he says. 10

Will O’Connell Lucas Littles

JJ Harrison Starting a rodeo clown career after eight years of teaching for Walla Walla public schools, however, isn’t the normal path. For JJ though, very little about him is normal. “I think I’m the only clown with a master’s degree,” he says. It was tough to leave behind a steady job and benefits to pursue a dream but for JJ, it was a risk worth taking. “I believe a rodeo clown has the power to create a bridge from fans to contestants and rodeo in general,” he adds. JJ is a kid magnet. The younger audience at the rodeo loves watching him and getting his autograph after the rodeo.

Mother/daughter duo will wow crowd This mother/daughter duo are sure to wow the crowd with their trick riding and newest act; Melissa’s graceful and glamorous Roman Riding and Shyla’s high schooled pony-Maximus. Speed, grace, and glamour describe this fiery red head. Melissa Navarre has been a professional trick rider for the past 15 years in the PRCA. She has performed across the United States on her black quarter horse Charlie and beautiful palomino Concho. Melissa’s rodeo roots run deep, her father Rusty Riddle is an eight-time NFR qualifier in the bareback riding and her mother Dollie Beutler Riddle trick rode across the Midwest for over a decade. Melissa is a fourth generation of the famed Beutler rodeo family of Elk City, OK. She is married to WNFR and PBR bull rider Corey Navarre, and they have two daughters, Shyla Mae, 6, and Layna Ann, 2. Some of her career highlights include: being chosen to perform in the opening ceremonies at the WNFR and being nominated 6 times as PRCA Dress Act of the Year. New to the arena is Melissa’s Roman Riding. Melissa has paired up her trusty trick riding horse Charlie with her newest cast and crew member, Jazzy. Melissa performs several stunts on this beautifully paired, black Roman team as they race around the arena such as: spinning a rope, fancy footwork, and jumping. Following close behind is Shyla and Maximus. Together they make a cute pair trying to be just like mom and do as she does on her team … as they bow, spin a rope, stand on a pedestal, and soar over the jump as well. Shyla is an up and coming star but has already performed at a number of rodeos across the Midwest and the 2013 Ram National Circuit Finals. She is currently in first grade and also loves to play basketball! 12

Stampede for the Cure hoping for bigger fundraising numbers Proceeds from events help provide breast cancer screenings

IPT file pho o

By KELCIE MOSELEY kmoseley@idahopress.com

NAMPA — A new, bluntly titled game is one of the main events at this year’s Stampede for the Cure — Bunco for Boobies. For $30, up to 200 women (or men, if they are so inclined) were slated to play the game, receive one free drink, a raffle ticket, goodie bag and appetizers. A portion of the proceeds will go to funding for Treasure Valley women to receive free mammograms. It was one of several events Stampede for the Cure has coordinated for this year’s breast cancer awareness efforts. Idaho ranks at the very bottom of U.S. states for women over 40 receiving regular breast cancer screenings, according to the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare. Since 2006, the Snake River Stampede has tried to tackle that issue through fundraising each year, and has raised more than $500,000 for screenings. “We get a lot of women who have had (testing) done and call the Stampede office and say they wouldn’t have been able to get it done if it wasn’t for us,” said Ken Nicodemus, who sits on the board of directors. On Wednesday’s Stampede for the Cure Night, when many attendees are encouraged to wear pink, 1,000 numbered cups of pink lemonade will be available for $10 each. A cup number will be drawn at the end of the night, and the winner will receive a piece of jewelry from Ameri Star Diamonds. Also for the first time this year, Ford will donate $25 for every person who test drives a vehicle at the Idaho Center, up to 250 test drives. A semi-truck decorated in pink and white will also be on site. The names of survivors and those who lost the breast cancer battle 14

RESOURCES

“

“I don’t know of a better rodeo anywhere. There are a select few rodeos that are just as good but none better. The SRS is up there with the big boys.” Boyd Polhamus , Snake River Stampede announcer

Stampede announcer Boyd Polhamus still on horseback

Back in 1994, a young, tall, good-looking guy stepped up to the microphone for the first time at the Snake River Stampede as a co-announcer. It was still outdoors then. He was relatively new in the business and was trying to get a start. This year will be the 20th Snake River Stampede in a row for him and he has evolved into the premier rodeo announcer in the business. Now 45, Boyd Polhamus has won every announcing award given in professional rodeo. He will be back at the microphone at the Stampede again this year and he will be on horseback once again. Concerning the Snake River Stampede, Polhamus doesn’t hesitate to say, “I don’t know of a better rodeo anywhere. There are a select few rodeos that are just as good but none better. The SRS is up there with the big boys.” Twenty-five years ago, Polhamus announced a college rodeo in Uvalde, Texas. He got the gig by pretending to be a rodeo announcer in the college’s practice arena at the same time he was competing as a cowboy. The pretending ended and a career was born in the late 1980s. No one, not even Polhamus, could have imagined what the next two decades would bring. His resume now includes 15 selections as an announcer for the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas, Nevada, and five more times as the Alternate Announcer. Only Hall-of-Fame announcer Bob Tallman has been chosen more often. In addition, Polhamus was voted the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association Announcer of the Year for 2007, 2008 and 2009. In 2000, 2003 and again in 2005, he was honored as the Women’s Professional Rodeo Association Announcer of 16

the Year. “Better than I deserve …” is Polhamus’ most common response to the question, “How are you?” He says that comment most accurately describes both his professional and family life. His career demands nearly 300 travel days a year. He says his wife, Sandee, is both his best friend and best adviser. “There’s too much in my life that is right that I have no control over, so it’s got to be God,” he says. “Everything good that’s happened in my life can be traced back to a friend or family member who went out of their way to help me. Well, you don’t buy your friends at a department store; God puts them in your life. I can only hope I’ve treated them as well as they’ve treated me.” On those rare occasions when he can be found at home, Polhamus enjoys team roping, the Green Bay Packers, and working with his bucking-bred cattle on the Band-Aid Ranch in Brenham, Texas.

Mutton Bustin’

One of the most popular and crowd-pleasing features at the Snake River Stampede is the Mutton Bustin’ event, which is open to children ages 5 to 7 and who must be under 55 pounds. It started at the Stampede in 1988 as a pre-rodeo event and its main purpose was to get people out to the rodeo and in the stands early to help alleviate the last-minute rush at the gates at 8 p.m. That first year it was filmed by one of a local television station, picked by a national affiliate and shown on national news. It has grown in popularity every year. Countless youngsters throughout the valley count on their fingers how old they are to see if they are old enough to ride, while others regret the year they turn 8 and can no longer ride. The youngsters are timed and judged on an 8-second ride. Each participant receives a buckle from the Justin Boots Co. and the winner each evening wins a certificate for a pair of Justin Junior Cowboy Boots.

Binion Cervi

Cervi Rodeo provides stock Cervi Rodeo Co., which started six decades ago, has grown into one of the largest stock contractors for both big and small rodeo productions across the United States. Mike Cervi, the founder, began his rodeo career at age 14, traveling across North America from the great plains of Texas to the rolling hills of Grand Prairie Alberta, Canada, serving as a rodeo clown. Since then Mike and his family have expanded to become the owners of two of the largest rodeo companies: Beutler Brothers & Cervi Rodeo Co. and Cervi Championship Rodeo Co. The company can draw from a herd of more than 600 head of bucking stock. In 2005 sons Binion and Chase Cervi along with cousin Scott took over the day-to-day operation of the rodeo company. Mike continues to oversee 18

the entire operation and provide assistance, advice and experience when needed. The Cervi family has a large and extended team dedicated and excited to help produce some of the nation’s most exciting rodeos. “My main goal is to produce a fast and exciting rodeo with the best bucking stock available,” Mike Cervi says. Mike Cervi was twice voted the stock contractor of the year. The first award came in 1983 and the second nearly 20 years later in 2001. In 2003, he was voted into the Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame in Colorado Springs. No matter what size rodeo the Cervis produce, the essentials remain the same. “You have to have good bucking horses, bucking bulls and a lot of fighting bulls,” he said. “You need color in Snake River Stampede | Sunday, July 14, 2013

the front and the employees in the back to make it run smoothly.” With the age of cell phones, computers and technology, the younger generation has brought the rodeo company into the 21st century while still keeping the family tradition alive. They can be found working across the United States while traveling to rodeos and are never far away from the day to day activities at home in Colorado on their ranches. Binion Cervi, who manages the stock company, told prorodeoonline.net in 2008 that the Snake River Stampede is a top event for the firm. “This is our biggest rodeo of the summer,” Cervi said in the article. “This rodeo gets better and better every year.”  cervirodeo.com

Calf Scramble involves, helps youth NAMPA — It’s one of the wildest events at the Snake River Stampede and you won’t find a PRCA cowboy competing in it. In the Calf Scramble, 20 teens race through mud and manure to compete for the honor of attempting to wrestle 400 pounds of wild-eyed calf into the muck and across the finish line — all for $1,000. It may sound like the premise for a new Fox reality show, but the Snake River Stampede’s Calf Scramble is, in truth, a fun and innovative way for the rodeo to give back to the community and help out local youth. For more than a decade, the Stampede has given 20 teens — between the ages of 14 and 16 from local 4-H and Future Farmers of America programs — the chance to harness one of 10 calves in the scramble and, with it, a $1,000 certificate to be used toward the purchase of a heifer calf of their own. The lucky ones raise the animals and show them at the following year’s rodeo.

Calf Scramble facts

IPT file pho o Rodney Moore, longtime Stampede board member and the driving force behind the calf scramble, said he brought the scramble to the area in 1998. The sportsmanship award was instituted a year or two later.

n Some of the youth who win calves use them to help start their own herd of cattle, while others raise them for a few years then sell them to help pay for college. n Most winners choose to breed their heifer once it reaches an appropriate age, thus increasing both their cattle holdings and their knowledge of animal husbandry. n The Calf Scramble gives youth who otherwise wouldn’t have the funds to purchase a beef heifer or a dairy heifer funds to buy an animal.

See the Calf Scramble The scramble has been expanded this year and will be held on Tuesday night in the middle of the night’s festivities and again at the Saturday matinee.” The scramble is held in the middle of the day’s festivities and admission is included in the rodeo ticket price.

Rope and Run starts before official Stampede actio Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s called the Snake River Stampede Rope and Run and a lot of local cowboys and barrel racers literally rope and run trying to win a spot along with the professionals at the Snake River Stampede. The event is a part of the Snake River Stampede week and is contested in the Idaho Horse Park Arena. It draws hundreds of local team ropers and barrel racers and the finalists will ride in special sections at the rodeo. In all, there will be 100 barrel racers and 1,000 teams competing. The competition started the Friday before the rodeo. Finalists will compete in a special section of barrel racing at the Stampede matinee performance Saturday, July 21. Team roping was held Saturday and Sunday. There were different categories according to the abilities of the ropers. Finalists in these categories will ride immediately after the professional team ropers during the Stampede rodeo. Ropers and barrel racers compete for prize money and other awards. Two saddles, sponsored by Dan Wiebold Ford and $1,000 each will be awarded to the top team ropers. 22

Other sponsors include Weaver Leather, D & B Supply and SRS Whisky. The Rope and Run event is produced by the Snake River Stampede in partnership with 5D Productions, Skeeter and Stefanie Duby.

The Snake River Stampede will set up the Cowboy Corral for the third year. It will be set up in front of the Idaho Center and will be running Tuesday through Saturday nights. Tuesday is Ladies Night. The Cowboy Corral will feature a live band and will provide a time for dancing and socializing. The band will provide music from the time the rodeo is over until approximately 12:30 a.m. Because it is outside the gated entrance area, there is no charge to attend this event. It is free and open to the public. Beverages will be available for purchase. According to one of the Stampede directors, Ken Nicodemus, the event offers a time for people to socialize, visit and have some fun. “Often, the fans aren’t ready to leave after the rodeo. They like to hang around and visit with their friends,” he said. “This will give them a place to hang out with each other until they are ready to go home. They can socialize and dance and give those leaving the parking lot time to clear out.”

Snake River Stampeders

Ghost Riders In The Sky

The Snake River Stampeders will recreate a popular drill from the past this year as they ride to the music to “Ghost Riders In The Sky.” They will, however, be riding a brand new drill. They change their drill each year but often bring back a popular theme. They also change the color of the lights from year to year. Although the Stampeders seem like a relatively new act, they have been riding for the Snake River Stampede since 1997, the same year that the Stampede moved indoors at the Idaho Center. This is their 17th year. At the time they were created, there was no one to show them how to go about putting together such a show as there was no one doing a drill in the dark with lights on the horses and riders. They had to invent themselves every step of the way. Back in the beginning, little girls looked up to the Stampeders, got autographs from them and dreamed of riding on the team some day. One such little 24

4-year-old girl from those early days has been riding on the team for four years now and is a 19-year-old college student. Tawny Garbarino, a graduate of Vallivue High School, was a part of the team that performed at the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas in 2010. Little girls still aspire to ride on the team today and that dream keeps the team going because riders drop out every year due to jobs, moves, colleges, marriages, etc. So, who are the Stampeders? The team is made up of pretty young women from the valley whom enjoy riding and want to be a part of rodeo, especially the prestigious Snake River Stampede. There are two Miss Rodeo Idahos: Gabi Rhoades of Nampa and Tricia Crump of Boise. And, there are several others who have held rodeo queen titles. Quite a few of the riders came from the ranks of the Eh Capa Bareback Riders when they became too old to ride with that team. There is a mother-daughter duo. Mom Susie Wyant and daughter Katie Snake River Stampede | Sunday, July 14, 2013

have been riding for four years. Others are good riders who came to see the show and were so impressed they wanted to be a part of it. This year’s Miss Rodeo Idaho, Erica Greenwood, was a Stampeder until she won her title last year. She promises to come back when her rodeo queen days are finished. The team has ridden at the National Finals Rodeo four different years since its inception. It is the only drill team ever to be invited to perform at the “super bowl” of rodeo. They also were invited to ride at the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City. The team was conceived and put together by long-time Stampede secretary Jimmie Hurley. Paula Van Hooser of Meridian is the drill coach and is assisted by Randi Wood of Meridian. There is a crew of workers who help with the lights, opening gates, and other needed jobs. Come early and get to your seat to see them. They ride just after the National Anthem opens the rodeo at 7:30 p.m..

Director Agenbroad stresses community as key to rodeo New president is one year into his term By KELCIE MOSELEY kmoseley@idahopress.com

NAMPA — Jeff Agenbroad’s roots with the Snake River Stampede go all the way back to 1989, when he worked the concession stands with the Kiwanis Club. Years later, he is now nearly halfway through a two-year term as president of the Stampede’s Board of Directors, which he has served on in some capacity for the past eight years. “I grew up on a farm and ranch, so it’s in my background,” Agenbroad said. “But more importantly, I’m a true believer in giving back to the community where you live.” And it’s the community that really makes the Stampede what it is, he said. Treasure Valley residents are “responsible for its success” — the event is now among the top 10 pro-rodeos, out of about 700 nationwide. And it’s coming up on a milestone. “It’s astounding to me that this is the 98th consecutive year of our rodeo,” Agenbroad said. The board, which is composed of 17 directors and meets year-round to organize each rodeo, is in the process of planning for the ABOUT AGENBROAD rodeo’s 100th year, coordinating special events n Graduated from Nampa Senior High and commemorations.

The backbone of the Snake River Stampede Sports Medicine

Rodeo cowboys donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have guaranteed contracts, injury waivers or pension plans. Unlike other professional athletes, they pay all their own expenses including entry fees insurance and travel costs. Their livelihood depends on winning, and they have to be healthy to win. Each year, the Justin sports medicine team treats thousands of cases on the road. The Justin Boot Company advertises its sponsorship of the Justin Sports Medicine Program as a meaningful contribution to the rodeo athlete and the sport of professional rodeo.

Veterinarian Idaho Equine Hospital has provided care to the rodeo stock and the contestantsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; animals for more than four decades. Staff veterinarians donate their time, unless their services are used, and the hospital is a vital part of the behindthe-scenes support group. Located next to the Idaho Center, the Idaho Equine Hospital is a full-service facility staffed for routine, surgical and diagnostic pro-

Beta Sigma Phi 34

cedures. Eight veterinarians and a strong support staff are prepared to handle any equine medical condition. Specialized services include abdominal, arthroscopic and orthopedic surgery; lameness diagnosis and treatment; ultrasound; nuclear medicine; reproductive services; neonatal foal care and internal medicine; routine care, 24-hour emergency and intensive care services.

Nampa Police Members of the Nampa Police force are at the rodeo each night to help with crowd control and traffic flow and to provide security. They have worked at the rodeo practically since its beginning, providing a comforting presence both for those who work the rodeo and those who come to be entertained. They are an integral part of our community, and as such are greatly appreciated.

Paramedics An extra measure of protection and service will be provided to the contestants at the Snake River Stampede this year. Three EMTs from Saint Alphonsus Regional Medical Center will be on site for the rodeo plus the extra hours of slack competition. Life Flight will also be available. These volunteers will total 40 hours of service during rodeo week. Given the type of rugged Western sport that rodeo is, there is always a potential for serious

Nampa Exchange Club

injury, and the Stampede strives to provide the best protection possible for the contestants.

Canyon County 4-H Hundreds of youth and adult volunteers involved in Canyon County 4-H have benefited from Snake River Stampede concession earnings. The Canyon County 4-H Council has used the concessions as its main fund-raiser for years. It also benefits from the proceeds of the Buckaroo Breakfast. The Council sponsors scholarships for 4-H youth to participate in Teen and Kids Camp, Teen Conference, National 4-H Congress, National 4-H Conference, Counselor Training, Know Your Government, Ambassador Training, and other state and national events. Volunteer leaders also benefit with scholarships offered to state and regional leaders forums, and other miscellaneous state and national training. The Council also sponsors county achievement awards, leaders recognition, county demonstrations and judging contests.

Scramble Continued from page 19 An anonymous donor, saddened that some kids had to go home without livestock that first year, offered a significant sum of money to help out those who didn’t win a calf of their own. According to Moore, that money — from an out-of-town stranger watching his first Stampede — helped fund the sportsmanship award for its first two or three years. Since then, the Stampede directors — convinced of the program’s importance — made it a regular part of the budget. Each year the sportsmanship award goes to the competitor who chooses to help others wrangle their calves instead of gunning for one of his own.

You be the judge at the Stampede

Each of the two judges, themselves veterans of arena competition, has 50 points to work with on every ride: 25 points for the animal, 25 for the rider. The perfect score of 100 points has never been awarded. In horse-riding events, a rider must have his toes turned out and his spurs in contact with the bronc’s shoulders the first jump from the chute. Failure to do this immediately disqualifies the rider. In bull riding, there is no such rule. To appreciate the cowboys’ efforts, watch the brute strength of the bucking animals: their darts, dives, twists, and rolls that revolve around three axes like an airplane in a thunderstorm. The tougher the animal is to ride, the more points it will be scored by the judges.

JUDGING What to watch for: Failing to spur a saddle bronc or bareback horse out of the chute to the satisfaction of the judges. The spurs must be touching the bronc over the shoulders when the front hooves hit the ground first jump out of the chute. If the horse stalls coming out of the chute, the judge may shout to the rider that he waives the rule. Touching animal or rigging with the free hand. In all three riding events — bareback riding, saddle bronc riding and bull riding — the contestant may hold on with only one hand. He cannot touch any part of the animal, the rigging, the rein or the bull rope with his free hand, whether it happens intentionally or by accident. Losing a stirrup before the end of the ride disqualifies a contestant in saddle bronc riding. The hand signals, are given by the judges to the announcers and timers immediately after the signal marking the end of each ride. There is no signal for the obvious disqualification of bucking off. Making points: In all three roughstock events (Saddle and Bareback Bronc Riding and Bull Riding), the rider must stay atop the animal for 8 seconds, using just one hand and abiding by additional rules. The rules are deliberately slanted to give the animals every advantage. Saddle Bronc riding: Points are awarded for continuous spurring action through the ride, from point of shoulder rearward. The longer the stroke, the better the score. Timing is vital. The cowboy’s spurs must be in contact with the horse’s shoulders each time the bronc’s front feet strike the ground. The rider does not pull on the buckrein, but lifts just enough to keep tension and maintain his balance. Bareback riding: Rather than the front-to-back spurring motion used in Saddle Bronc Riding, the bareback rider spurs up and out, and back down to the front, and repeats continuously. His knees almost strike his chin, his spurs almost strike his rigging handhold. Bareback horses are smaller than saddle broncs, with a lot of quick twists, “sunfishing” and turnback in their moves. Bull riding: The cowboy isn’t required to spur in this event, but he may add points when he does. Bull riding re36

IPT ÿ le photo quires exceptional balance and body control — maintaining position regardless of what moves the bull makes. Recoveries make spectacular watching but lost points; a good bull rider doesn’t get out of shape so badly he must recover. For spurring to count, it must be far more than a rider shuffling his feet. Scoring the animals: It is not possible for any man to out power a bucking animal that weighs from 1,000 to 2,000 pounds — he must use his wits and his skills. To appreciate the roughstock cowboys’ efforts, watch the brute, raw strength of the bucking animals, their darts, dives, twists and rolls; changes of direction so violent and fast that animals appear to “swap ends;” and the impact with which they strike the ground.  Watch for high kicking action with the hind legs fully extended. A high jumping animal looks sensational, but a high kicking animal is usually stronger and more difficult to ride.  Watch for the animal changing directions. A spinning animal is usually harder to ride than one bucking strength. The animal that spins one direction and then “reverses it,” going the other way, is harder yet to ride.  Watch for a rolling, twisting motion. An animal that “sunfishes” and “shows its belly” adds another difficult dimension to the up, down, sideways bucking action.
