PAYSON, ARIZONA

Payson is where rodeo began in 1884. Sometimes it was called the “August Doin’s” — but then any gathering was often called a “doin’s” according to Pat Cline, a member of the pioneer Haught family. Now known as the World’s Oldest Continuous Rodeo, the Payson August Rodeo is a world famous event that will celebrate its 132nd consecutive year in 2016 — Friday, Aug. 19 and Saturday, Aug. 20 at the Payson Event Center. Festivities start with Women’s Professional Rodeo barrel racing and more at the Payson Event Center Thursday, Aug. 18; gates open at 5 p.m. and performance/contests start at 6 p.m. Admission is a can of food for area food banks. The first rodeos in Payson provided local ranchers and cowhands a chance to get together and compare their roping and other ranching skills during the annual “down time” before the big fall roundup. It was also a time when families and friends separated by the many miles between ranch headquarters could get together and visit, catching up on all the news. There were only a couple of events in those early rodeos, but it was not long before cowboys from all over the state and beyond were showing up to compete in new events like bronc busting, bull riding and steer roping — and for a time,
horse racing, wild cow milking and more. Early Payson rodeos weren’t held in fancy arenas. In fact, the original venue was a meadow near the intersection of Main Street and Highway 87 (known locally as the Beeline). Wagons and later autos created barriers to form the “arena.” This year’s activities will feature everything from beautiful rodeo royalty to the large contingent of Shriners in the annual Rodeo Parade. Once named the country’s Best Small Rodeo by the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association, which sanctions the event, and recently named as the Official Best Small Town PRCA Rodeo in the West by True West magazine, it continues to attract the best of the best from all over the world to compete for substantial prize money. Rodeo performances start at 7 p.m., Friday and Saturday night and at 1 p.m., Saturday afternoon. Gates open two hours prior to the performances. Friday is the Tough Enough to Wear Pink night that helps fund local breast cancer support groups in conjunction with Wrangler’s Susan B. Komen program. The Saturday afternoon rodeo is Coca-Cola Family Day with giveaways and special family day pricing, a family pack admission is available with four tickets for $40.
Saturday evening is the Patriot Performance that honors returning, fallen and wounded veterans, with a special tribute during the rodeo featuring the USMC Mounted Color Guard. Tickets are available online at www. paysonprorodeo.com. Admission is $18 for adults; $16 for seniors 65 and older; $10 for kids 8-12; and free for children 7 and under, as well as any active military. Tickets will also be available at the gate. RODEO PARADE AND MORE
The rodeo festivities include the annual Rodeo Parade, which this year features the theme, “Livin’ in the Wild West.” The parade starts at 9 a.m., Saturday, Aug. 20 on Historic Main Street in Payson. The parade will go east from Green Valley Park to Sawmill Crossing. Announcers along the parade route will keep everyone posted on the coming entries and provide music for entertainment. Sponsored by the Kiwanis of Zane Grey Country, the parade will include the U.S. Marine Corps Mounted Color Guard, clowns, rodeo queens and their courts, Payson High School band, local floats, riders, first responder teams and many other great entries from all over Arizona. Join in the fun when real cowboys and cowgirls strut their stuff, along

USMC Mounted Color Guard returns BY TERESA MCQUERREY RIM REVIEW EDITOR
The inspiring U.S. Marine Corps Mounted Color Guard is making a return visit to Payson for the 2016 World’s Oldest Continuous Rodeo. The USMC Mounted Color Guard, the only remaining Mounted Color Guard in the Marine Corps, will be part of both the Rodeo Parade and at the Patriotic Rodeo Performance Saturday, Aug. 20. At Saturday’s evening show, the USMC Mounted Color Guard will bring the U.S. flag into the arena following the presentation of the flags of each branch of the military by the Payson Military Honor Guard and the Cowgirls Historical Foundation. Following the U.S. Marines’ entry into the arena, the national anthem will be presented. ABOUT THE USMC MOUNTED COLOR GUARD
Lt. Col. Robert Lindsley, U.S. Marine Corps retired, formed the USMC Mounted Color Guard at the Marine Corps Logistic Base in Barstow, Calif. in 1967, according to information on the Bureau of Land Management website. Lindsley purchased four palomino domestic horses from St. George, Utah and the fifth palomino was purchased in the Barstow area. The first parade the USMC Mounted Color Guard attended was in Ridgecrest, Calif. in 1967. In 1968, the Color Guard was designated an official Mounted Color Guard by the Headquarters Marine Corps. The USMC first adopted a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) wild horse in 1988 for the Mounted Color Guard, a 2-yearold horse called “Okinawa,” reflecting the naming history of all the horses used. In January 1985, the Mounted Color Guard made its first appearance in the

Tournament of Roses Parade. Since 1990, the Mounted Color Guard has participated in every Tournament of Roses Parade. Today, the five members of the USMC Mounted Color Guard ride wild palomino mustangs adopted from the BLM’s Adopt a Wild Horse and Burro Program. The USMC Mounted Color Guard travels all over the Western United States participating in parades, rodeos and numerous events and ceremonies. Lindsley died in May 2010 and the stables at the Marine Corps Logistic Base in Barstow, Calif. are named for
him, according to the official U.S. Marine Corps website. Gunnery Sgt. Mike Bate, the staff non-commissioned officer formerly in charge of the Marine Corps Logistics Base Barstow’s Mounted Color Guard diversified the unit. “When I came here, the Mounted Color Guard was for infantrymen who were to go on cool down tours after their deployments,” he explained. “I wanted to bring Marines from a broader spectrum.” Bate’s work to supplement the MCG didn’t stop with new faces though. He
also urged outstanding Marines stationed at MCLB Barstow to take up reins as well. “I’ve been working to get Marines at base who are enthusiastic about riding with us to join in for a few events,” he explained. “I think it works well as an incentive program; it’s a good way to reward Marines who have done well,” he added. Bate is responsible for making the Mounted Color Guard a nationally recognized image of the USMC, according to an article published April 23, 2012 on the USMC website.

Contractor’s stock bred to give cowboys tough rides BY TERESA MCQUERREY RIM REVIEW EDITOR
Wrestlers, racers, ropers and bull riders — the team leading the Salt River Rodeo Company knows the importance of competitive and high-quality stock in the arena. The Salt River Rodeo Company’s team includes general manager Jerry Dorenkamp of Tucson, Ariz., with additional partners Cody Resor of Willcox, Ariz. and Owen Washburn of Lordsburg, N.M., along with Nancy Jane Henson Dorenkamp, Jerry’s wife. Jerry has been a Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association member since 1979 and is currently a PRCA Gold Card member of the same association. In the late ’70s, Jerry competed in the National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association and was second in the finals in Bozeman, Mont. in 1977. Still giving it everything, in 1986 he was sitting 16th in the PRCA steer wrestling world standings when his career was cut short with a shoulder injury. He nevertheless finished that year in the top 25 in the world. After that, Jerry turned to flanking bucking horses and bulls rekindling the stock contractor phase of his life. For the next 17 years he was the livestock superintendent, chute boss and flankman at some of the top-ranked rodeos. In addition, he has also been a flankman at the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo every year from 1987 to 2005 and again in 2011 and 2012. Cody Resor has been in the

stock contracting business since his early years. He is currently a rancher in Willcox with his wife Allison and son Rio where he headquarters with his bucking horses and bulls. He has competed in rodeos his whole life and while he now focuses on stock contracting, Cody still competes in the team roping and calf roping in the PRCA.
Owen Washburn, his wife Tricia, their son Braiden, and daughter Tierney have settled into the business of raising bulls. Owen’s desire to be the best bull rider he could be earned him the nickname Captain Consistency. His skills were developed while riding stock in the back pens of the sales yard where his father worked.
Owen was the 1989-90 NHSRA Bull Riding champion, the 1994 Turquoise Circuit Bull Riding Champion and finished ninth at the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo. He qualified for the PBR National Finals 10 times and reached the ultimate goal of professional bull riders when he captured the 1996 PBR World Championship title. Nancy Jane is a champion as
well, earning honors as a barrel racer and also competing as a team roper. She organizes the Women’s Rodeo performances at both the May Gary Hardt Memorial Spring Rodeo and the World’s Oldest Continuous Rodeo in August. Jerry, Nancy Jane and Owen both bring family heritage in rodeo to the business. The Salt River Rodeo Company has been in the PRCA stock contracting business for more than 20 years. Headquartered in the Turquoise Circuit regions of Arizona and New Mexico, it has consistently had livestock chosen for the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo and Turquoise Circuit Finals Rodeo. The company’s animals have pedigrees as good as any out there. The breeding program includes grandson of Calgary Stampede’s Grated Coconut, who holds a record tying six times PRCA Bucking Horse of the Year and a bull bloodline that includes Oscar, who was only ridden eight times out of 300. Jerry and Nancy Jane believe good horses and bulls are athletes that love what they do. They have been building their breeding program for the last 18 years. Washburn has managed to raise numerous bulls that qualified for the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo. Editor’s note: Material for this article came from the Salt River Rodeo Company’s website.

Rim’s rodeo history rooted in 1884 BY TERESA MCQUERREY RIM REVIEW EDITOR
The spirit of the West lives on through the sport of professional rodeo. And that spirit will descend on Payson Aug. 18, 19 and 20 with the 2016 World’s Oldest Continuous Rodeo. Professional rodeo cowboys keep the skills of the West’s working cowboys alive. Jobs such as roping cattle and breaking horses, which were refined by 19th century cowhands, continue today in competition among rodeo cowboys. Rodeo was born on the ranches of western America. Informal competitions sprang up among cowpunchers to determine the best riders and ropers. Payson’s rodeo history dates back to 1884, giving it claim to the World’s Oldest Continuous Rodeo held each August. A native son, Charlie Meadows, is credited with founding the Payson rodeo. He left the area to travel with a Wild West Show and, when he returned, he had the idea of putting together contests in the format of shows. Preceding the “organized” contests, the ranchers and cowboys competed more informally. There were riding and roping events, and even horse races for both men and women. People came from throughout the Rim Country to the “August Doin’s” — though the family members of those around in the rodeo’s early days say it was never called the “August Doin’s” — They say it, like any other “big” event in the isolated Rim Country was referred to as “doin’s”; a dance at one of the schoolhouses serving outlying ranches could be called, for example, the Round Valley (School) Doin’s or the Jordan Canyon (School) Doin’s, etc. In the 1970s, the Payson Pro Rodeo Committee and others put together what was called the Old Timers Rodeo, held in early summer, and designed to attract

older competitors who still liked to show off their skills. There was also a Junior Rodeo, usually held in July, which gave the next generation of athletes a chance to compete with future rivals in Pro Rodeo contests. Later, the Old Timers Rodeo became the Spring Rodeo and then, to honor a longtime Rim Country rodeo cowboy, the Gary Hardt Memorial Spring Rodeo. Rodeos in Payson are now a formal sport, following the rules and regulations of the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association. Of course, the sport has changed
drastically over the years. Some events have been dropped and others have been added — but all are always exciting. LEARN THE LINGO
Rapid-fire announcers blaring over the loudspeaker and frenzied fans can make the average Joe feel a bit lost at the 2016 World’s Oldest Continuous Rodeo. But with these definitions and descriptions under your oversized belt buckle, even rodeo first-timers can converse like a real cowboy. Added Money: The money the rodeo
committee contributes to the prize money in an event. Prize money is the sum of contestant entry fees and added money. Arena Director: Responsible for keeping the action going, the rodeo running smoothly, and making sure the rules are followed. The arena director supervises the arena by making sure the chutes are loaded and the arena is clear. Association Saddle: A saddle built to the specifications of the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association and used in saddle bronc riding. Average: The winner of the average is like the winner of the final heat in a race. In rodeo, there’s prize money for the best finish in each round of competition. But the winner of the average is the big winner; they outperformed every other competitor. Barrier: A rope stretched across the box or chute. The rope is dropped, signaling the contestant’s time has started and releasing the horse and rider. Breaking the Barrier: Leaving the chute too early, which adds a 10-second penalty to the contestant’s time. Day Money: Prize money paid to bull riders who make a qualified ride. Entry Fees: Money paid to compete in each rodeo event. Fees range from $25-$200, varying with the amount the rodeo has dedicated to prize money. Fishing: A missed roping attempt that turns into a legal catch, either by accident or on purpose. Flank or Flank Strap: A sheepskin-lined strap fastened between the ribs and hips of a bronc or bull. The animal bucks in an effort to get rid of the strap. Go-Round or Round: Period in which each contestant competes on one head of stock. Rounds can vary from one, in small rodeos, to seven or more in CONTINUED ON PAGE 8

large rodeos. Ground Money: Extra prize money divvied up among contestants. When fewer people qualify in an event than there are paid awards, the extra prize money is divided among those who qualified. If no one qualifies, the money is divided among all contestants. Hazer: Cowboy who rides alongside a steer wrestler and keeps the steer running in a straight line close to the wrestler’s horse. Honda: The eye at the end of a rope. Passing the rope through the honda creates a lasso. Hooey: A half-hitch knot used in calf roping. A half-hitch is a temporary attaching knot and is the start of several other hitches. Jackpot: Winners split all or part of the entry fees, with no money contributed by the rodeo committee. Mount Money: Money paid in riding, roping or steer wrestling exhibitions, but not in a contest. NFR: National Finals Rodeo NHSRA: National High School Rodeo Association NIRA: National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association No Time: A signal, made by a field flagman, calls for the contestant not to receive an official time. Prompted when the contestant improperly catches or throws an animal. Pickup Man, Piggin’ Man: Mounted cowboy who helps a bronc rider off at the end of a ride. He then removes the flank strap and leads the bronc out of the arena. Piggin’ String: Short piece of rope used to tie the feet of a roped calf or steer. The roper carries the pre-made loop in his mouth, then cinches it around one of the calf’s feet and ties the feet together with a hooey.
Keith Morris photo
That rope in the cowboy’s mouth is known as a piggin’ string in rodeo lingo. It is cinched around one of the roped calf’s feet, which are then tied to its other feet with a hooey — another unique word in the world of rodeo.
PRCA: Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (formerly the Rodeo Cowboys Association) Prize Money: Paid to event winners, it is comprised of entry fees and the rodeo purse (money contributed by the rodeo committee). Professional cowboys are paid only by their winnings, not by
salary. Pulling Leather: Holding onto the saddle during a bronc ride. Doing so before the end of an 8-second minimum disqualifies the rider. Re-ride: Second bull or bronc ride in a given round. A first ride can be ruled unfair for a number of reasons, like
inadequate bucking or when a rider is hit, or fouled, in the chute. WPRA: Women’s Professional Rodeo Association (formerly the Girls’ Rodeo Association) Editor’s note: Part of the preceding is courtesy of the PRCA.

Rodeo royalty compete for state crowns BY TERESA MCQUERREY
before the winter hits; this is when she rides off to Pinetop, Ariz. where she spends the winter as a manager at a local ski shop. With the warmer season, Muha is always practicing a newfound job — this year it’s a career in real estate. Free time is short and far between for her, but she always finds time to spend in the kitchen baking or riding out to the trail with her dog Mudd and whatever horse she is on that week.
RIM REVIEW EDITOR
Once again Payson and the Rim Country plays host to the pageant to crown the 2017 Miss Rodeo Arizona and 2017’s Miss Teen Rodeo Arizona. Pageant events begin Thursday, Aug. 18 and continue through Sunday, Aug. 21. A number of the pageant events are open to the public, but not all. Details can be found in a separate story. 2017 MISS RODEO ARIZONA
Brigitte Kennison was born in Arizona and raised in the White Mountains, where she learned to enjoy her life in the outdoors with her animals. She said she feels it is a great honor to have the opportunity to be a contestant at the 2017 Miss Rodeo Arizona Pageant. Kennison has been riding horses since she was 18 months old and has learned many different techniques of riding, from Western pleasure to show jumping and her newfound love, barrel racing. But it wasn’t until she was 14, did she find a love for the sport rodeo, and began her career as a rodeo queen with her first title.
Brigitte Kennison
2017 MISS TEEN ARIZONA Jessi Muha
Through her journey of queening, Kennison has fallen more in love with rodeo. From watching rodeo events, Kennison has found something to love about every aspect of the sport. Her future endeavors include obtaining her nursing degree from Northland Pioneer College and later attending Grand Canyon University to complete her bachelor’s degree in nursing. “I wish all of the contestants the best of luck and cannot wait to see what memorable moments we will have together,” she said. Jessi Muha said, “Cowboys say that the purpose in life isn’t to end up with a clean, well-preserved body and a short resume of your life history, but to ride in a full lope, come to a sliding stop completely worn out and exhausted, but with enough stories to fill 100 country songs.” Muha said she plans to do exactly that. When her horse comes to a sliding stop, she hopes to be a “been there, done that” kind of person. Living life with this motto keeps Muha busy. You commonly find her working hard at one of her many jobs. Fall calls her up to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon to help move cows

Conway has been a rodeo queen since the age of 6 and hopes to continue to be an ambassador for the sport of rodeo for many more years to come. She is very exited to have this opportunity to be in Payson this weekend. She has aspirations of one day becoming Miss Rodeo Arizona and eventually Miss Rodeo America, but until then, she hopes to become 2017 Miss Teen Rodeo Arizona. Bullhead City is the home of Haley Olsen, 18. She is the daughter of Jeff and Ellann Olsen. When she is not riding her horses, Oreo and Miss Rodeo USA, she is sleeping, reading, eating, working, sewing, dancing or singing in the shower.

to be a role model for youth. She has also served as a camp counselor for two years at the James 4-H Camp and has volunteered at the North Valley Animal Clinic, where she fell in love with the profession. Graduating an entire semester early from Primavera Online High School has allowed her to start her freshman year of college. After she receives her medical technician license, she will continue on to receive her associate degree in applied science.

Reigning rodeo royalty visit Payson BY TERESA MCQUERREY RIM REVIEW EDITOR
Plenty of beautiful rodeo queens and princesses will be in Payson for the 2016 World’s Oldest Continuous Rodeo this week. The state’s reigning Miss Rodeo Arizona and Miss Teen Rodeo Arizona, along with Miss Turquoise Circuit and Payson’s own Teen Rodeo Queen are among the members of rodeo royalty participating in a variety of events during the week. A MARINE AND A RODEO QUEEN
While Miss Rodeo Arizona 2016 Alanna Hamilton calls Arizona home, she was born and raised in Marin County, Calif. She spent her childhood there until she enlisted in the United States Marine Corps out of high school. After boot camp, Hamilton received orders to Marine Corps Air Station Yuma and spent her first year in Arizona exploring the state with her first rodeo queen title. She is now 22 and an active duty USMC corporal doing what she loves: serving her country and representing her state and the sport of rodeo. “As Miss Rodeo Arizona, my most memorable experience so far has been attending the Silver Spurs Rodeo in Kissimmee, Fla. This was the first time I really had a chance to meet most of the other state-title-holders and learn about them and their states. I learned so much that weekend about what it means to be a rodeo queen,” Hamilton said. Asked what advice she would give young women interested in following in her footsteps, she said, “I just want them to know they need to believe in themselves. When competing for a title or holding a title, there might be unfortunate things that happen that you cannot control. The only thing you can do is accept these things, and if you believe

or another for the last 13 years. In August 2015 she ran for the 2016 Miss Rodeo Teen Arizona Queen Title with her trusty stead Patron. Carrying this title, she has had the opportunity to travel not only throughout Arizona, but in New Mexico as well. Codi also went on to represent Arizona and its rodeo lifestyle in Florida when she was invited to attend Teen Week at the Ft. Pierce PRCA Rodeo and St. Lucie County Fair. As she concludes her reign, she plans to be at most of the PRCA rodeos in Arizona. After graduation in May, Codi is planning to go on to college at Central Arizona College in Coolidge, Ariz., and then go on to become an equine chiropractor. Serving as Miss Teen Rodeo Arizona Ross said her most memorable experience so far has been going to Florida for Teen Week. “The Miss Rodeo Florida program invites all of the State Teen Rodeo Queens from across the country to come to Florida. To participate in a week of fun-fulled activities such as going to Disney World, Wild Florida, air boat-
MISS TEEN RODEO ARIZONA HAS LIFETIME LOVE OF SPORT
Codi Ross, the 2016 Miss Teen Rodeo Arizona, recently graduated from Blue Ridge High School in Lakeside, Ariz. Her love and passion for horses and rodeo started at the tender age of 3. At this very young age she knew she wanted to be in the rodeo world. She started out her rodeo adventures at small hometown barrel racing and pole bending clubs and went on to compete in High School Rodeo Association throughout high school. Her contests were barrel racing and pole bending on her horse Hoss. She also participated in reined cow horse competitions on her horse Patron. At the age of 5 Codi ran for her first rodeo queen title and won. Since then it has been her ultimate goal to become Miss Rodeo Arizona and go on to represent the amazing state of Arizona at the Miss Rodeo America Pageant in Las Vegas, Nev. during the National Finals Rodeo. Codi has held one rodeo royalty title

ing and of course, my favorite thing, rodeo. It was such a great experience to meet other teen queens from around the country and be able to represent Arizona in Florida,” she said. Asked what advice she would give young women hoping to follow in her footsteps, Ross said, “My advice to all young women is to always reach for your goals, never let yourself think you can’t do something you have set your heart on. I started my journey to becoming Miss Rodeo Arizona when I was 5 years old. I have worked hard to win 11 titles across the state, so having the title as Miss Teen Rodeo Arizona only puts me one step closer to my goal. It’s very important for all of us young women to set goals, to reach for the stars, rope them and let them lead us to our dream.” She said having the chance to be Miss Teen Rodeo Arizona is a memorable experience. “Being able to represent rodeo at such a high level will be something I will never be able to forget, along with the all the amazing new friends I have made. I would like to thank every rodeo I have been to this year; they all have been so welcoming to me and my family. My horse Patron and I are so excited to be at the rodeo this weekend.” RENEWING A TRADITION
Paige Creasy, the Payson 2015-2016 Junior Teen Queen traded in one crown for another at the 2016 Gary Hardt Memorial Spring Rodeo. Creasy was crowned Payson Teen Rodeo Queen at the Spring Rodeo. She is the 13-year-old daughter of Stephanie and Tony Creasy, and was born and raised in Payson, Ariz. She is in the National Junior Honor Society and has achieved a 4.0 since starting school.

Rodeo royalty plays big part in events FROM PAGE 14
Creasy, while young, is an active member of the Payson Pro Rodeo Committee. As Payson Rodeo’s Junior Teen Queen, her service theme is “8 Seconds to NO.” Using this theme as her platform, Paige’s goal is to make a positive difference by reminding young people that it only takes 8 seconds to say no to drugs and how important it is to stop and think about the consequences of drug use. She held the title of “Navajo County Rodeo Princess” from 2012-2013, which was her first royalty title. In 2014-15 she earned the title of Globe, Ariz.’s “Copper Dust Rodeo Stampede Missy.” Creasy has visited many rodeos around the state, but her most favorite is in her hometown of Payson, where she has had the honor of carrying the American flag to start off the Gary Hardt Memorial Spring Rodeo. She loves her horse Shadow and her new horse, Baby, and spends all of her free time with them. Together, they belong to 4-H and enjoy competing in horse shows as well as participating in gymkhanas. When they are not com-
peting in organized events, they love trail riding and exploring the beautiful Arizona scenery. Creasy not only loves the sport of rodeo, but is also fond of basketball, hunting, fishing, camping, spending time with her family and friends, and four-wheeling, seldom letting anyone else drive. Her dreams are one day to hold the title of Miss Rodeo Arizona and then compete for the title of Miss Rodeo America in Las Vegas. She hopes to further her education and become a large animal veterinarian.

Nicole Nelson
TURQUOISE CIRCUIT ROYALTY FROM NEW MEXICO
Paige Creasy
Miss Turquoise Circuit Nicole Nelson was born and raised in Alamogordo, N.M. to Robert and Jerry Nelson. She started competing in the sport of rodeo at the age of 10 as a barrel racer. “As I’ve grown older, I started taking an interest in Western pleasure walk/trot and reining. I am an active volunteer for the Therapeutic Riding Association at NMSU and in my future I plan to join the NMSU Rodeo Team,” she said. When she has free time she loves to
be outdoors rock climbing, hiking, swimming, biking or spending quality time with her family, friends and beloved animals. “I also train for ultra-marathons and completed my first 50K last year,” Nelson said. She is attending New Mexico State University as a full-time student for a major in kinesiology with an emphasis on exercise science and biomechanics. “My goal is to work with collegiate and professional athletes until I gain enough experience to join the Justin Sports Medicine Team for the PRCA,” she said. Nelson said her life’s goal is to leave a lasting impression on the people who need an inspiration, role model, a friend, or even a friendly smile that gives them the encouragement to live the life they love, and to love the life they live.
During her travels as Miss Turquoise Circuit, Nelson said, “My most memorable experience so far has been to travel to Kissimmee, Fla. for the Ram National Circuit Finals and represent our Turquoise Circuit. I got to be part of the rodeo production and meet some of the other state and circuit queens. The coolest thing about this trip was comparing how far everyone had to travel to take part in the greatest sport on dirt.” Asked what advice she would give to young women hoping to follow in her footsteps, Nelson said she’d first tell them to never give up. “Always seek out for opportunities to make someone else’s day a little bit brighter. Life is spontaneous; never think little of your self-worth because I believe everyone is meant to do something extraordinary. Of course, always remember, if at first you don’t succeed, try and try again.”

Strength, speed key to rodeo success With all the high-velocity action in rodeo, it is not really a surprise that speed plays a critical factor in the successful outcome of a competition. Strength is also another big factor. BULL RIDING
Unlike the other roughstock contestants, bull riders are not required to spur. No wonder. It’s usually impressive enough just to remain seated for 8 seconds on an animal that weighs 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 remain 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 the score in bull riding is determined by the contestant’s performance and the other half is based on the animal’s effort. Bull riding is probably the most popular event in rodeo. It is also probably the most dangerous. Both the rider and bull are at risk in the event. TIE-DOWN ROPING
Tie-down roping was born on the ranches of the Old West. Sick calves had to be roped and tied down for medical treatment. Roping and tying down the calves was also used at branding time. 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 the calf, the cowboy ties any three of the animal’s legs together. If the calf is not standing when the contestant reaches it, the cowboy must allow the animal to stand, then flank it. STEER WRESTLING
Steer wrestling can trace its roots back to ranch work in the Old West. Often older juvenile cattle were too big to be roped and brought to the ground for branding or veterinary care, so the cowboys had to catch them and wrestle them to the ground. Wrestling a steer requires more than brute strength. The successful steer wrestler also understands the principles of leverage. The steer wrestler, on horseback, starts behind a barrier, and goes after the steer, that has been given a head start. When the bulldogger’s horse pulls even with the steer, the cowboy 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. 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.
