Rodeo action returns to Poway for 46th year

46-year community tradition returns Sept. 28 and 29 when the Poway Rodeo holds three performances in the Russ Sheldon Arena on the Poway Valley Riders Association grounds.

The Friday night performance starts at 7:30 p.m. There is also a Saturday afternoon show at 1 p.m. and an evening show at 7:30 p.m. Tickets for all three can be purchased at powayrodeo. com. New this year is the Saturday morning “Sam’s Posse Exceptional Rodeo.” (See related stories) The three rodeo performances typically draw a total of about 12,000 fans, said Rodeo Committee Chairman Murray Bankhead. Last year the Saturday night show sold out, while Friday night came close to that mark, he said. Adults-only rodeo dances will be held after the Friday and Saturday night performances. They are free with paid rodeo admissions. Valid IDs are required. Music will again be by the Patrick Howard Trampus Band. (See related story.) In additional to providing family entertainment, the rodeo is a fundraiser for the community, Bankhead said. This year the rodeo committee will make a donation to both Sam’s Posse and to the Jean McLaughlin Women’s Center at Palomar Medical Center Poway. (Formerly known as Pomerado Hospital.)

This Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association-sanctioned event is the final chance for the cowboys to earn money to qualify for the National Rodeo Finals in December. The Poway Rodeo is also one of seven regional rodeos belonging to the Southern California Rough Stock Association, which means additional prize money opportunities for cowboys. The rodeo is comprised of seven competitions: bull riding, saddle bronc riding, bareback riding, steer wrestling, team roping, calf roping and barrel racing. “The Poway Rodeo is a great civic center,” said Bankhead. He added it’s a tradition that over the years has gone from local to regional in interest, attracting fans from all over the county and beyond. For more information about the rodeo and related activities, visit PowayRodeo.com.

Wayne Brooks

Poway Rodeo announcer

Four-time PRCA Announcer of the Year Wayne Brooks will be back for the 15th straight year. Salt River Rodeo Company will be providing the livestock for the ninth consecutive year. The company has been in the business for over 20 years. Entertainment will be provided by rodeo clown JJ Harrison, who performed in Poway two of the past three years. (See related story.) Children will have plenty to do. The always-popular kids’ rodeo events at each performance, including mutton busting – children under 50 pounds and at least 3 years of age try to ride a sheep for eight seconds – and junior barrel racing. There is also a special VIP designated area for kids, with special pricing for the Saturday afternoon performance.

‘Sam’s Posse Exception Rodeo’ is Sept. 29 The Poway Rodeo is pleased to announce the addition of the “Sam’s Posse Exception Rodeo” on Saturday morning, Sept. 29 in the rodeo arena. The event will begin at 10:30 a.m. The event is open to kids with intellectual and physical disabilities from ages 5-18. Each participant will have a buddy to help them navigate through the events which may include Stick Pony Barrel Racing and Pole Bending, “Not So Rough Stock” riding (manual bucking barrel) and Roping. Assisting will be Rodeo clown J.J. Harrison, announcer Wayne Brooks, Rodeo Queens Princesses and professional rodeo cowboys and cowgirls.

Sam Burt was born on May 31, 1993. He was eight weeks premature, and soon after his birth he was diagnosed with a genetic condition so rare, there were only five documented cases worldwide. He was both intellectually and physically challenged, and in his lifetime Sam would endure more than 30 surgical procedures, and countless hospitalizations. Sam was the friend you would be lucky to have. Kind, compassionate and funny. He loved horseback riding, baseball, puppets, music and books. Sam was always up for an adventure and would embrace a trip to Legoland or the feed store with the same enthusiasm. Throughout his lifetime, Sam maintained a strength and courage that would inspire all those around him. Unable to speak, Sam had a way to make you want to become a better person, without ever saying a word.

A portion of this year’s Poway Rodeo proceeds will go to Sam’s Posse, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that strives to enrich the lives of individuals living with intellectual and physical disabilities. Registration for participants is on a first come, first served basis and is limited to 50 participants. Go to www. samsposse.org beginning to register. For more information, contact Deborah at info@samposse.org. If you are interested in becoming a volunteer for the event, please click on “Get Involved” then “Volunteer” to sign up. Be sure to reference Sam’s Posse Exception Rodeo in the “message” section.

In 2009, a virus infected Sam’s heart and he was diagnosed with dilated cardiomyopathy. In March of 2013 Sam lost his battle with DCM, just two months shy of his 20th birthday. Sam and his parents did not let his diagnosis define who he was, or limit his activities. They embraced life together, and took every opportunity to educate the public on the importance of acceptance and inclusion, for people living with disabilities. Through Sam’s Posse, formed in 2012, Sam’s family continues to fiercely advocate for and support organizations with the same goal. The Posse would raise $100,000.00 in support of Make- A-Wish, funding numerous wishes and fulfilling the dreams of children with life-threatening illnesses. For more information, visit www.samsposse.org Sam Burt died just two months before this 20th birthday

Our History

Poway Rodeo traces its history back 46 years

The idea of a rodeo in Poway was started by two Poway Valley Riders Association members, John Walker and Jack Miller. It took them several years to prepare and make all of the necessary arrangements to sponsor a sanctioned PRCA rodeo in Poway. They and their wives traveled to Oklahoma City, to the National Finals Rodeo, spending their own money, to make the contacts with the PRCA, stock contractors, specialty acts, and rodeo announcer Bob Tallman. Through their efforts PVRA, The Lions Club, and the Poway Chamber of Commerce formed the Poway Rodeo Committee and produced the first Poway Rodeo in 1973. The Poway Rodeo will continue to feature the traditions of the Old West and cowboy heritage while honoring our 46 years of hosting the Poway Rodeo. The event is a natural fit with Poway, whose “City in the Country” motto plays up a rural and horse-friendly atmosphere despite the city’s proximity to San Diego.

2018 POWAY RODEO PROGRAM PAGE 5

The Poway Rodeo Committee is committed to bringing you a fast-paced, exciting event that will leave you at the edge of your seat. This Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association-sanctioned event is the final chance for the cowboys to earn money to qualify for the National Rodeo Finals in December. The Poway Rodeo is also one of seven regional rodeos belonging to the Southern California Rough Stock Association, which means additional prize money opportunities for cowboys. The rodeo is comprised of seven competitions: bull riding, saddle bronc riding, bareback riding, steer wrestling, team roping, calf roping and barrel racing. “The Poway Rodeo is a great civic center,” said Murry Bankhead, who became chairman last year after serving two years as vice-chair and seven years on the board of directors. He said it’s a tradition that over the years has gone from local to regional in interest, attracting fans from all over the county and beyond.

Running the Poway Rodeo is a year-long process

‘ I learned that unlike a lot of other rodeos, Poway gets a lot of new patrons, people who are new to the rodeo.’ This is Bankhead’s second year as chair of the rodeo. He previously served as vice-chair for two years and has been on the executive board for about eight years, he said. He became involved with the rodeo through his work with the Poway Valley Riders Association, of which he is a past president. Bankhead and his family moved to Poway in 1999, drawn by its horse-friendliness, though he recently relocated to Ramona. “(Poway being horse-friendly) is what makes it the city in the country,” he said. “Rancho Bernardo and Scripps Ranch are great places, but there’s no horses.”

He became involved in the PVRA through his wife and stepdaughters, who were riders. His daughter was a rodeo queen, he said. “It’s a learning process each year,” said Bankhead. “I learned that unlike a lot of other rodeos, Poway gets a lot of new patrons, people who are new to rodeo.” Bankhead said the Poway Rodeo draws people from all over the county and is a big draw for international visitors. “(The rodeo) is a true piece of Americana,” he said. He added that the rodeo is also a draw for millennials, who are “always looking to try new things.” The rodeo committee has changed its marketing strategy to embrace social media, he said, which seems to reach a new audience. One challenge the Poway Rodeo faces that rodeos in places like Ramona and Lakeside do not is the Poway Rodeo does not have its own rodeo grounds. It uses the PVRA arena. “We have to transform the PVRA grounds to rodeo grounds and tear them down after,” Bankhead said. This includes adding cattle chutes, pens and more bleachers. Another challenge is the time limitation for setup, as the rodeo only gets access to the arena one week prior to the actual rodeo events. “My hat is off to the grounds crew,” Bankhead said. “Many of them take days off work to do it.” Bankhead credits the work of the rodeo executive board and its many volunteers with its success. “They really make this happen,” he said. “They work very hard year round. Without them, we couldn’t pull this off.” He also credited the rodeo’s sponsors, “without whom we could not put on as top-notch a rodeo as we do,” he said.

By Emily Sorensen The Poway Rodeo is fast approaching and while final preparations are being made, the work on this annual event began much earlier. “(Organizing the rodeo) is a year-long thing,” said Murray Bankhead, the chair of the rodeo committee. “Planning for (the next year) starts almost as soon as we finish (the current rodeo).” Bankhead said finding sponsorships is the hardest part of organizing the rodeo and the part of planning that begins “almost immediately.” Members of the committee also attend rodeo industry meetings throughout the year, learning about what is new and what other rodeos are doing to increase attendance, among other things.

2018 POWAY RODEO PROGRAM PAGE 7

2018 Poway Rodeo Committee

What you should know about the PRCA and rodeo livestock: The average bucking horse or bucking bull works less than five minutes a year in the arena. Rodeo livestock have long and healthy lives: Many of today’s top bucking horses are 20 years old, and many bulls are active buckers at 15 years of age. Veterinarians attribute these long, healthy life spans to good care, quality feed and adequate exercise. Professional Rodeo Cowboy Association rules prohibit the use of sharpened spurs and other implements that could harm an animal. Human skin is one to two millimeters thick; horse hide is five millimeters thick; bull hide is seven millimeters thick. Stock contractors invest a great deal of money in their breeding and purchase programs; many contractors pay up to five or even six figures for a top-rated bucking animal. Naturally, they are very motivated to take care of these investments. Both bulls and horses have natural bucking tendencies; many do so while playing together in pastures, just as horses naturally race each other. What makes an animal a candidate for rodeo livestock is the absolute determination to buck if something is on its back – often an inherited characteristic, which breeders now work carefully to bring out in “Born to Buck” programs. PRCA rules require flank straps to be lined with fleece or neoprene in the flank area; flank straps are tightened just enough to encourage the animal to kick behind itself instead of hopping around the arena. Overtightening would result in the animal’s refusal to move at all, much less buck. Flank straps do not contact an animal’s genitals.

The PRCA prohibits the use of electric prods in competition except forhorses known to be “chute stallers” – that is, they sometimes hesitate coming out of the chute and then may start bucking in the chute, creating risk to themselves and possibly to contestants. The prod may be used in this case if, and only if, the judge, stock contractor and contestant agree that it is necessary to protect the safety of the animal and/or contestant.

Poway Rodeo queens -- Sept. 2018 By Elizabeth Marie Himchak The Poway Rodeo will have four “royals” representing the two-day event, the pinnacle of their year-long duties as 2018 rodeo queens. Poway Rodeo Queen Abby Lehto, Junior Queen Mia DiGiovanni, Young Miss Grace Lynn Robbins and Little Princess Jayden Soliz will be busy throughout the Sept. 28 and 29 event as they serve as rodeo ambassadors. Their duties include representing their community, the sport of rodeo and horsemanship as they answer questions of rodeo attendees and ride their horses during the Queen’s Run. Earlier this month they rode in the Poway Days parade. They also have participated in community events such as National Night Out and the So You Think You Can Sing competition. Lehto, 24, is a La Mesa resident who said she came late to the rodeo pageant world. She was introduced to it while working as a photographer, where she got to know queens who were boarding their horses in Lakeside. “There were five queens at the time that I would ride with,” she said. “I got to know the girls and they said you’d be a phenomenal queen. They roped me into it.” Her first title was won last year, when named the Miss Bulls Only Rodeo Queen in Lakeside. It required her to attend rodeos throughout California. “Out of all the rodeos, Poway was my favorite because it was fun and had a sense of community,” Lehto said. It was the interactions with people at the 2017 Poway Rodeo that she said “sealed the deal” on her decision to compete in the 2018 Poway Rodeo Queen pageant last March. “The best part of being a queen is the people you meet throughout the year,” Lehto said. “You get to know their story ... (and) everybody. It’s something I will carry with me for the rest of my life.” Lehto, who graduated in 2016 from Point Loma Nazarene University with a bachelor’s degree in sociology and criminal justice, is a dispatcher with the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department. “I love it because every day is different and keeps you on your toes,” Lehto said of the career Queens, continued on page 9 she said “I could do for the rest of my life.”

Queens, continued from page 8

While she rode horses as a child, Lehto said she gave it up to pursue other school activities as a teen. She did not return to riding until after college when a friend invited her. That sparked a renewed interest and she leased or rode friends’ horses. In January she bought a bay and white paint named Tucker, whom she will be riding at the Poway Rodeo. Lehto said her favorite event to watch is barrel racing due to its fast pace and excitement as riders make turns in a clover leaf pattern. DiGiovanni, 14, lives in Valley Center and is a high school sophomore. Poway Rodeo Junior Queen is her second title, having represented her home community last year as junior queen. That led to her meeting the Poway Rodeo Committee and working with last year’s queens. “I developed a love for the Poway Rodeo and knew I had to run there,” DiGiovanni said. Her favorite part of being a queen is interacting with children and being an inspiration to them as the queens she saw as a 5 and 6 year old were to her while attending rodeos. DiGiovanni said she decided then that she would strive to be like those girls and switched from English style riding to Western. While not from a rodeo or horse family, DiGiovanni said her parents have been very supportive of her love of horses and done “everything in their power” to help her. DiGiovanni has two horses she will be riding at the Poway Rodeo: an American quarter named Doc and a 6-year-old mustang named Waylon. The latter she adopted from the wild when he was about 1 1/2 years old and has been training him ever since. “I want to get him to do barrel racing, pole bending and roping so I can compete as a professional,” she said. Robbins, 12, lives in Menifee and is in seventh grade. She was the 2017 Valley Center Rodeo Young Miss, which gave her the opportunity to ride at the Poway Rodeo last year. “The Poway Rodeo was my favorite by far,” Robbins said, adding she enjoys all rodeo aspects. “I love the bright lights, the sounds, smells and to hear the announcer. “I do not have a favorite event because I love them all. ... Rodeo has taken over my whole life.” Competing since age 5, Robbins said she has done barrel and pole racing plus goat tying through the California Junior Rodeo Association and the same events plus ribbon roping through the California Junior High Rodeo Association. “My favorite is goat tying because that’s what I’m best at, but I love them all,” she said. “Once I start roping by far that will be my favorite since I love roping.” Robbins said she has a few horses, including a paint named Bubbles and a palomino named George. The latter she will likely ride in Poway. Soliz, 9, lives in Valley Center and is in fourth grade. She was the 2016 Valley Center Little Miss. Poway’s Little Princess pageant was her second competition. “I just love the Poway Rodeo because it is one of the best rodeos I’ve been to,” Soliz said, who has attended since age 5 or 6, competed in mutton bustin when younger and now does barrel racing. While her Little Princess duties will keep her from competing at the Poway Rodeo this year, Soliz said she is looking forward to signing autographs, helping with the mutton bustin competition and being part of Sam’s Posse, an activity on Saturday morning for challenged youths. Her horses are a Spanish mustang named Scout, whom she will ride in Poway, and a quarter horse named Ace, who is still being trained. “I like teaching people about rodeo and getting the kids involved,” Soliz said. “(People) think rodeo is for adults, but when they see a little miss they see oh, kids can do this too.” Soliz said her favorite event to watch is bull riding because “it’s very exciting and keeps you on the edge of your seat.” Queens, continued on page 15

Clowning around

J.J. Harrison pleased to be back entertaining rodeo fans J.J. Harrison remembers prepping for his first outing as a rodeo clown like it was yesterday. He spent countless hours scripting three entertaining acts. He spent more time practicing them. Then came the rodeo — and the whole thing fell apart. “I remember being way over-prepared,” said Harrison, who was convinced by a friend to fill in as a rodeo clown for the first time in 2005 in front of 7,000 people in Vancouver, Washington. “When it all fell apart, my off-the-cuff humor saved me. And it showed me that I didn’t have to have a set joke. I could be more off-the-cuff and be reactive to what is happening around me and interactive with the crowd. I think with that I have been able to create a pretty good persona.” So good that Harrison, who recently turned 43, has worked a full schedule nearly every year since receiving his Professional Rodeo Cowboy Association membership in 2007. It’s a far different life than the one he initially set out to have as a full-time middle school teacher in Walla Walla, Washington. “I have always been kind of a ranch kid,” said Harrison, who retired from teaching in 2008 to pursue his passion as a rodeo clown. “I didn’t really start rodeo until my senior year of college. I tried to be a bull rider and made the team at Washington State. I ended up getting my teaching degree and master’s in education, but just decided to stay involved with the rodeo.” Harrison had ridden bulls and roped for years, but it wasn’t until that day in 2005 he even thought of becoming a rodeo clown. In fact, before that day he didn’t even pay attention to the rodeo clowns. “I just did my own thing,” he said. “The only thing I cared about was when the big boom was coming, because it seemed

like there was always one during the entertainment acts and it would startle me. I always wanted to know when it was coming and that was the only time I ever paid attention to the clown.” And that’s why now that he is a rodeo clown he gears his acts toward the crowd. Harrison, who performed as the rodeo clown at the Poway Rodeo in 2012, 2015 and 2017, is wellknown for his fat-suit acts. “A lot of what I do is off-the-cuff stuff,” he said. “I do the fat-guy-clown suit and I love football so I will throw Nerf footballs in the crowd. I kind of just make up stuff as I go. I have gotten to used law enforcement in my act. With all the negative stuff going on about cops, I wanted them to have fun, too. They are human and like to have fun. It creates a good environment.” Harrison has suffered his fair share of injuries during his 13 years as a rodeo clown. He has had cracked ribs, a broken back, hip surgery and a couple of knee surgeries. Still, he knows it could be worse. “Every bull can kill you every time you are in there,” he said. “A bull has a lot of body mass moving in one direction and it can’t stop or turn around instantly so you have to place yourself in a smart spot and do your best to be safe. But the reality is every bull that comes out could be the last one you see.” Harrison, who has a 10-year-old son, Huck, says he is looking forward to being back in Poway. “The crowd is fun and they are interactive,” he said. “The people show up and they enjoy being entertained. They are not the most rodeo savvy group, but the people know they want to be entertained and I am going to work hard to do that.”

Free adult dances after evening rodeos Enjoy a good country time at the adults-only dance following the free Friday and Saturday night rodeo performances.

Growing up in rural San Diego County, he found a love for hay fields, dirt roads and country music. Influenced at an early age by artists like Merle Haggard, Waylon Jennings and Hank Williams, Jr., he honed his singing skills in church and around campfires. By age 18, Trampus formed his first band. They played the Southern California country scene, opening for major acts like Billy Ray Cyrus, Mark Chesnutt, Wade Hayes and Jamie O’Neil. Trampus took time away from music to raise his family, but his love for music and entertaining never left him. In 2014, he began his musical journey again, forming a new band in San Diego and playing venues from Petco Park to The San Diego County Fair. Trampus is once again doing what he loves: Bringing a stadium-like show to a honky-tonk near you. Trampus has joined forces with Los Angeles-based Whiskey Tango, a talented, young and hungry group of musicians. This is no traditional country band! Their country-rock roots show in every song they play. Patrick Howard Trampus and Whiskey Tango promise one killer experience!

In the preferred seating area, children under age 3 who sit on your lap do not require a separate tickets. (If you need room for a car seat, a separate ticket must be purchased.) Purchase tickets at powayrodeo.com.

RODEO 101 – KNOW YOUR EVENTS SADDLE BRONC RIDING Rodeo’s “classic” event, saddle bronc riding, has roots that run deep in the history of the Old West. Ranch hands would often gather and compete among themselves to see who could display the best style while riding untrained horses. It was from this early competition that today’s event was born. Each rider must begin his ride with his feet over the bronc’s shoulders to give the horse the advantage. A rider who synchronizes his spurring action with the animal’s bucking efforts will receive a high score. Other factors considered in the scoring are the cowboy’s control throughout the ride, the length of his spurring stroke and how hard the horse bucks. Disqualification results if, prior to the buzzer which sounds after eight seconds, the rider touches the animal, himself or his equipment with his free hand; if either foot slips out of a stirrup; if he drops the bronc rein; he fails to have his feet in the proper “mark out” position at the beginning of the ride; or he bucks off. BAREBACK RIDING Bareback riding, developed in the rodeo arena many years ago, consistently produces

some of the wildest action in the sport. A bareback rider begins his ride with his feet placed above the break of the horse’s shoulder. If the cowboy’s feet are not in the correct position when the horse hits the ground on its first jump out of the chute, the cowboy has failed to “mark out” the horse properly and is disqualified. Throughout the eightsecond ride, the cowboy must grasp the rigging (a handhold made of leather and rawhide) with only one hand. A rider is disqualified if he touches his equipment, himself or the animal with his free hand or bucks off. The rider is judged on his control during the ride and on his spurring technique. The score also is based on the rider’s “exposure” to the strength of the horse. In addition, the horse’s performance accounts for half the potential score.

BULL RIDING Unlike the other roughstock contestants, bull riders are not required to spur. It’s usually impressive enough just to remain seated for eight seconds on an animal that may weigh more than a ton and is as quick as he is big. Upper body control and strong legs are essential to riding bulls. The rider tries to re-

Steer wrestling

main forward, or “over his hand,” at all times. Leaning back could cause him to be whipped forward when the bull bucks. Judges watch for good body position and other factors, including use of the free arm and spurring action. Although not required, spurring will add points to a rider’s score.

As in all the riding events, half of the score in bull riding is determined by the contestant’s performance and the other half is based on the animal’s efforts. A bull rider will be disqualified for touching the animal, himself or his equipment with his free hand or bucking off.

POMERADO NEWSPAPER GROUP TIE DOWN ROPING Like bronc riding, tie down roping is an event born on the ranches of the Old West. Sick calves were roped and tied down for medical treatment. Today, success in tie down roping depends largely on the teamwork between a cowboy and his horse. After the calf is given a head start, horse and rider give chase. The contestant ropes the calf, then dismounts and runs to the animal. After catching and flanking the calf, the cowboy ties any three of the animal’s legs together using a “pigging string” he carries with his teeth until needed. If the calf is not standing when the contestant reaches it, the cowboy must allow the animal to stand. When the cowboy completes his tie, he throws his hands in the air as a signal to the judge. He then remounts and allows the rope to become slack. The run is declared invalid if the calf kicks free within six seconds. As with any timed event, a 10-second penalty is added if the roper does not allow the calf the proper head start – this is known as “breaking the barrier.” STEER WRESTLING Wrestling a steer requires more than brute strength. The successful steer wrestler, or bulldogger, is strong but he also understands the principles of leverage. The steer wrestler on horseback starts behind a barrier, and begins his chase after the steer has been given a

2018 POWAY RODEO PROGRAM PAGE 13 head start. If the bulldogger leaves too soon and breaks the barrier, he receives a 10-second penalty. The steer wrestler is assisted by a hazer, another cowboy on horseback tasked with keeping the steer running in a straight line. When the bulldogger’s horse pulls even with the steer, he eases down the right side of the horse and reaches for the steer’s horns. After grasping the horns, he digs his heels into the dirt. As the steer slows, the cowboy turns the animal, lifts up on its right horn and pushes down with his left hand in an effort to tip the steer over. After the catch, the steer wrestler must either bring the steer to a stop or change the direction of the animal’s body before the throw or is disqualified. The clock stops when the steer is on his side with all four legs pointing the same-direction. TEAM ROPING Team roping is unique in that two cowboys work together for a shared time. The fi rst cowboy, known as the “header,” ropes the steer either by the horns, around the neck, or “half head” which is one horn and the neck. After this catch is made, the header wraps his rope around the saddle horn, commonly known as dallying, and turns the steer in a wide arc to the left. The second cowboy is known as the “heeler.” He trails along beside the steer until the header turns the steer, then

moves in behind the steer and attempts to rope the back feet. If he only manages one hind foot, the team receives a five-second penalty. Time is stopped when both cowboys’ horses are facing each other. BARREL RACING In barrel racing, the contestant and her horse enter the arena at full speed. As they start the pattern, the horse and rider trigger an elec-

tronic eye that starts the clock. Then the racer rides a cloverleaf pattern around three barrels positioned in the arena, and sprints back out of the arena, tripping the eye and stopping the clock as she leaves. The contestant can touch or even move the barrels, but receives a five-second penalty for each barrel that is overturned. With the margin of victory measured in hundredths of a second, knocking over one barrel spells disaster.

Cowboy, cattle, horses, leather, dirt, mud, sweat and blood All these words can only conjure up one image, one word rodeo. Today’s rodeo, performed by professional athletes for big stakes in huge arenas filled with cheering spectators and covered by ESPN, has come a long way from its roots in the 1800s roundup camps. In the days of the ranchos, the annual roundup and branding of cattle was always an occasion for a display of horsemanship and roping. When the principal chores of the event called a rodeo (from the Spanish word rodear meaning “to surround” pronounced “ro-day-oh”) were completed, there was usually an exhibition and contest of skills by the cowboys, or “vaqueros.” The skills displayed had a rich history tracing back to the great horsemanship traditions of the Spanish conquistadores. During the late 1700s and early 1800s, Spain held much of the land that is now the American West. When the missions were established, their secular activities included raising cows for America’s flourishing cattle market. The need grew for skilled horsemen to handle and manage the herds. Many of the padres who ran the missions were sons of Spanish nobility. They were trained in the celebrated skills of horsemanship and roping practiced in Spain for centuries. They passed on these skills to their workers, who became known as vaqueros. When mission lands were converted to privately owned ranchos during Mexico’s rule, the vaqueros found work running cattle and managing the rangelands. After America gained control of these lands from Mexico in 1848, the vaqueros continued to work the big ranchos alongside their American counterparts bringing with them their expertise and traditions. It was after the Civil War, when cattle herds spread out throughout the West, that the ranks of the American cowboy grew. They worked for cattle barons driving cattle to the bustling stockyards of fast-growing towns. But this era was short lived. Railroad stock cars replaced cattle drives and open rangelands were divided up and defined by barbed wire. The demand for labor dwindled. Many a cowboy had to seek a new way of life. There had always been informal competitions around the stockyards, where cowboys, fueled by wages and whiskey, would challenge each other to see who was the best at cutting a cow or roping. Spectators gathered around to watch the action. In small towns throughout the west, stock horse shows (sometimes called rodeos), where cowboys could supplement their shrinking income, began to spring up on a regular basis. Clever showmen like Buffalo Bill Cody began to organize and elaborate on these events. America’s fascination with the “Wild West” was turned into a business. Those that made their living at rodeo events saw a need to standardize the events, establish rules and regulations for the safety of competitors and animals and to protect their rights.

The Professional Rodeo Cowboys’ Association, or PRCA, traces its roots back to 1936 when a group of cowboys staged a walkout at a rodeo at the Boston Garden. The protest resulted from the rodeo promoter’s refusal to add the cowboys’ entry fees to the prize money. The cowboys vowed to boycott until the entry fees were added to the prize money and judging was done with greater objectivity. The promoter, W.T. Johnson, finally relented and the Cowboy’s Turtle Association was formed. The cowboys adopted the name “Turtles” for two reasons — they were slow to organize, but had finally stuck their necks out for what they believed was right. In 1945, the Turtles changed their organization’s name to the Rodeo Cowboys’ Association, which in 1975 became the PRCA. With more than 170,000 fans attending the National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas and more than 13 million viewers tuning into the finals on ESPN, rodeo is more popular and competitive than ever The standardized events that now characterize rodeo are bareback riding, steer wrestling, team roping, saddle bronc riding, calf roping and bull riding. Many rodeos also include barrel racing, a sport that is dominated by female equestrians. Rodeo has become a sport distinctly different from its stock horse roots. Today’s stock horse shows revolve around the disciplines of reining, reined cow horse and cutting, and usually include amateur riders as well as professional trainers.

For those who have never attended a rodeo, Lehto said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Take the plunge and go. A lot of people are hesitant to go to a rodeo because they are not sure about animal welfare. But once they get really educated they (enjoy it). â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is absolutely phenomenal seeing the athletes and animal athletes,â&#x20AC;? Lehto said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a completely different world that is so exciting to watch. If itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new, give it a try and see how absolutely incredible (it is).â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Poway Rodeo is the best ... and the Kids Day on Saturday revolves around children,â&#x20AC;? DiGiovanni said. Lehto said the 2019 Poway Rodeo Queen pageant will offer, for the first time, a $2,500 scholarship to the senior queen in addition to other prizes the titleholders receive. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you want a rodeo title, just do it. ... It is one of the best experiences I have ever had,â&#x20AC;? Lehto said, adding, â&#x20AC;&#x153;You learn so much about yourself while representing the rodeo. You build your self-confidence, become a better public speaker and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s awesome to have on your rĂŠsumĂŠ. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are so many to help you and guide you,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The girls take you under their wing and teach you. That is how I won two titles in a row.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody does pageants differently,â&#x20AC;? DiGiovanni said, adding each committee looks for different traits in their queens. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To be a good winner, you have to be a good loser first,â&#x20AC;? she said, recounting how she lost the 2014 and 2016 Valley Center Rodeoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Young Miss titles before becoming its 2017 Junior Queen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You need good discipline and to put 100 percent into every bit ... and practice on your horse every single day,â&#x20AC;? DiGiovanni said. At the time of the pageant, Poway Rodeo Queen contestants must be 17 to 25 years old, Junior Queen contestants 13 to 16 years old, Young Miss contestants 10 to 12 years old and Little Princess contestants 5 to 9 years old. All contestants must be able to ride well, furnish their own horse and live in San Diego or Riverside County. Responsibilities during their reign vary, based on age. Judging criteria includes their rodeo and equine knowledge, public speaking ability and horsemanship. For details on the 2019 pageant (not available yet), go to powayrodeo.com/ queens-pageant or the Poway Rodeo Queens Facebook page.
