AUGUST 2013 • PAYSON ROUNDUP

Welcome to the 129th World’s Oldest Continuous Rodeo BY TERESA MCQUERREY ROUNDUP STAFF REPORTER

For almost 130 years, competitive cowboys have converged in Rim Country to show their skills with horses, ropes and bulls. Those early contestants came from area ranches and in between the competition their families and friends visited, catching up on all the news, meeting the new babies and spouses. There are still families coming to compete in the Payson rodeo, you will see relatives in a variety of contests with their loved ones in the stands cheering them on. You will also see the family of man. A longtime volunteer who worked the ticket booth last year said she met people from all over the world who came to little ol’ Payson just to see the rodeo. That says a lot about the quality of the competitors and the events. It also speaks to the honor of being named the country’s best small rodeo a number of years ago. About 200 contestants are expected for the Aug. 16, 17 and 18 World’s Oldest Continuous Rodeo. Some are among the nation’s top competitors, having won or leading the rankings for top honors. SCHEDULE OF EVENTS

129TH WORLD’S OLDEST CONTINUOUS RODEO

Champion bullfighter to serve as rodeo announcer BY ALEXIS BECHMAN ROUNDUP STAFF REPORTER

He’s hung up his ripped clown clothing and put away the face paint for a microphone. He’s taken his place along the side of the ring, out of the barrels and the crosshairs of raging bulls. Many a bull has tried to throw him out, but still, Rob Smets can’t pry himself from the ring. It’s a place he’s called home since high school when he threw his hat into a rodeo career and where he spent the next 40 years traveling from town to town, country to country, learning in what he called the school of “hard knocks.” You wouldn’t know it looking at him now, but Smets is every bit the Kamikaze Kid — a man known for his fearlessness in the ring, taking huge hits and risks to protect cowboys. He’s still the man who won five World Champion titles and broke his neck three times pursuing it. His careers and gorings have been documented on shows like Animal Planet’s “Untamed and Uncut,” NBC’s “America’s Toughest Jobs,” CMT’s “8 Seconds of Fury” and a Discovery Channel documentary. And he’s been

inducted in several halls of fame as one of the most notorious bullfighters. But you don’t have to log on to catch a glimpse of this legend. You’ll find Smets announcing at Payson’s August Doin’s Rodeo and maybe, still dodging a few hits. “It is definitely still in my blood,” he said speaking from his ranch in Merkel, Texas. While most announcers sit in booths high above the action, Smets prefers a ringside seat. It’s here that he can best explain to the crowd what’s happening. Where he can catch impromptu interviews with cowboys moments after they have been thrown from a thousand-pound beast. And where he can still have fun with the bulls. “My comfort zone is definitely down there in the dirt,” he said. “That is where I made my living.” And he is still making his living there — just now riling up crowds, not taming down the beasts. Smets put away his red, white and blue face paint several years ago and picked up color commentary. His goal: inform and entertain rodeo goers.

Announcer brings knowledge of events to commentary FROM PAGE 4

“My strong point is my knowledge of the events,” he said. “I competed in every event in high school, so I know the fundamentals, what the rider is trying to accomplish.” But Smets wasn’t always so keen on rodeo. He grew up overseas until the eighth grade, and had dreams of becoming a professional baseball player. He found himself drawn to rodeo, though. Although he never filled baseball grandstands, he became a legend in the ring. He is the only five-time World Champion bullfighter, nine-time Professional Bull Riders World Champion bullfighter and ProRodeo Hall of Fame inductee. “It has been a heck of a ride,” he said. “It let me do a lot of things and let me meet a lot of people.” At 46, when he broke his neck for the third time, Smets decided to give bullfighting a rest. “When I broke my neck I thought, ‘Now what I am going to do for a living?’” he said. “I have no shortage of knowledge.” For the last half a dozen years, Smets has announced at the Payson Rodeo with Reed Flake. “Payson is a great town and I love coming up there,” he said. Smets has known Bill Armstrong, Payson Pro Rodeo Committee’s president and rodeo boss, for many years. Smets said he knows how much work Payson committee members and volunteers put into the rodeo and would like to see a few more people in the stands appreciating all their efforts.

129TH WORLD’S OLDEST CONTINUOUS RODEO

Horses deserve most credit for roper’s success BY MAX FOSTER ROUNDUP STAFF REPORTER

Although Donnie Haught spent 10 years on the PRCA circuit riding bulls, his roots are in calf roping. Today the sport is known as tiedown roping. Raised in Young, he began roping early on, helping out on the family ranch. “Roping was part of your work,” he says. But on Sundays when the work was over, cowboys gathered in the local arena to compete in jackpot ropings. “We kind of roped all week long,” Haught says. His experience mirrors the history of the sport since it is derived from the duties of actual working cowboys, which sometimes required catching and restraining calves for branding or medical treatment. Ranch hands took pride in the speed with which they could rope and tie calves and that soon turned their work into informal competitions. About 15 years ago, Haught — now retired — gave up tie-down roping and now focuses only on team roping. Today, he looks back on his career and what others have done in the sport, knowing that a good horse, he says, “is about 95 percent” responsible for the success of a tie-down roper. “They have to be able to break hard run and stop,” he says. “For some horses it all comes natural, but others have to be trained.” Like most cowboys getting a little long in the tooth, Haught points to Dale Smith’s horse “Poker Chip” as a tie-down roper’s dream horse. The horse had it all, Haught said, great “cow sense” — which means consistently stopping and working a rope and perfect conformation. In 1966, Poker Chip, an iron gray gelding, was retired to Smith’s ranch near Chandler. In 1979, the horse was inducted in

the Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame. Haught remembers his finest roping horse being a sorrel mare he owned decades ago. However, when his daughter, Kim, took up barrel racing he loaned the horse to her for a couple of years. “When I got the horse back, he was broken down,” Haught said. “There went my best horse.” As for the attributes a roper must have to be successful, Haught contends “fast hands to tie the two wraps and a hooey,” is crucial. Hooey is a colloquial expression for the half hitch knot the cowboy uses once the calf is on the ground and the “piggin’ string” — or short rope — is

used to tie three of the calf’s legs together. In lassoing and tying the calf, cowboys get help from well-trained roping horses who are taught to slowly back way from the calf to maintain a steady tension on the rope. During Haught’s years roping on the rodeo circuit, he managed to lasso some top finishes, including setting an arena record of about nine seconds, that stood for years in Monticello, N.M. While the name “Monticello” might not conjure up visions of the Las Vegas finals, the Houston Livestock Show or Cheyenne Frontier Days, Haught remembers that for decades most all of the West’s best calf ropers

competed in the town’s rodeo. Haught also often did well in the Springerville rodeo and others around the state. Since he retired from the tie-down roping, roping times have plummeted to where the world record is now just over six seconds. Haught believes he knows the reasons times are today much quicker — most ropers now dismount from the right side rather than the left as they did for decades, and like athletes in all other sports, ropers condition yearround to become bigger, stronger and faster. “Calf roping is a young man’s sport,” said Haught.

Team Roping is rodeo’s only true team event In rodeo’s only true team event, two ropers — a “header” and a “heeler” — work together to rope a steer in the quickest time possible. The header is the first out of the box. He may rope the steer around the head and one horn, around the neck or around both horns, which are reinforced for the event. As with all timed events, if the header leaves early and breaks the barrier, a 10-second penalty is added to the team’s total time. After making his catch and dallying, the header rides to the left, taking the steer in tow. The heeler moves in and ropes both hind legs. Catching only one hind leg results in a 5second penalty. If the heeler tosses his loop before the header has changed the direction of the steer and has the animal moving forward, a “crossfire” violation is called and the pair is disqualified. The clock is stopped when the slack has been taken out of both ropes and the contestants are facing each other. Team ropers need quickness like brain surgeons need medical training. Without quickness, a team roper certainly won’t qualify for the National Finals Rodeo. And without a trip to the NFR, he certainly can’t win a world title.

Learning the art of riding a bull BY MICHELE NELSON ROUNDUP STAFF REPORTER

At the Payson Rodeo, watch the bull riders closely because you might miss the ride. To win, it’s over in eight seconds, but rarely can the rider hold on that long. “Eight seconds is how long they have to stay on — that doesn’t sound like a very long time trying to stay on the bull, but feels like an eternity,” said Gary Roach Hedeman, owner of Hedeman Bull Riding Schools. The bull-riding event straps a rider’s hand to a 2,000-pound beast and lets them both out into the ring. The event has been called one of the most exciting at the rodeo. It has spawned the Professional Bull Riders organization and Hedeman’s school. “I’ve done them as small as five and up to 25,” said Hedeman. He holds schools from his home state of Texas to New Mexico, Ohio and Wyoming. He said this past year he had the first request for a class in Arizona. “The students do it for the thrill of the sport,” said Hedeman. “It’s not a sport for the meek. Most of them grew up in the cowboy world on a ranch.” Hedeman said he started riding when he was seven, ended up going to college on a bull-riding scholarship and then rode bulls professionally for 20 years. When asked how a rodeo newbie should judge a bull ride, he said the main nuance to the art of bull riding is having a controlled ride.

“If they (the riders) get too far back on the bull, it can bring you over the front and then the bull jumps and then you slam your head on the top of the bull’s head,” said Hedeman. In fact, that is how he got stitches once. Getting that smooth, controlled ride is tough since bulls are bred specifically to toss their rider off as soon as possible. Hedeman said the best bulls give the rider and the crowd a thrill. So what does a great bull look like? “One that has a lot of kick and spin and turns close to the chutes and puts on a good show … (instead of) running across the pen,” said Hedeman. “Breeding programs breed for those reasons.” However, he said breeding good bull riders is not as easy as breeding tough bulls. “I’ve had a lot of kids come and decide after one class that bull riding is not their thing,” said Hedeman. He said he can tell a potentially successful bull rider from his determination. “They try every time — you can’t be melancholy about it, you have to give 150 percent every time,” Hedeman said. Currently, he has a young man in his school who started training with him four years ago. He just started riding and then came to practices and buck outs, now he’s going to college on a bull-riding scholarship.

‘The REAL Cowboy Sport’ FROM PAGE 8

The CBR Web site lists interesting facts and their terminology for the newbie bull rider watcher (www.cbrbull.com/glossary.html). What to watch for in a bull: • “Away from his hand” refers to a bull that twists away from the rider’s riding hand. • Bull of the Event — bulls get points too — refers to the bull that wins the best overall ride score. • Bull Score — points given to the bull for his performance. The bull can receive from 1-25 points. • “Down the Well” — used by bull riders to describe a when a rider falls into the whirlpool the bull creates by spinning in circles. • Fades — a bull is described as fading when it moves backwards while spinning at the same time. • Hooked — when a bull hooks his rider after dismount. • Hung up — a dangerous situation when a bull rider is unable to remove his hand from the riding rope. When this happens, it is the job of the bullfighter to help the rider untangle his hand. • Muley — a hornless bull. • Rank — describes a bull difficult to ride. • Spinner — a bull that spends his time going in circles for the whole ride. What to look for in the rider: • Average — describes a rider’s aggregate score.

• Bucked off — a rider who is thrown off before the required eight seconds. • Cover — if a rider completes eight seconds, it’s said he accomplished “cover.” • Dismount — happens either before the eight seconds are up or after. To dismount, a rider loosens his riding hand to release his hold and gets as far away from the bull as possible. • Disqualified — may happen whether or not the rider makes the eight seconds. If the rider’s free hand touches himself or the bull, he is disqualified. • First Round or “First Go” — A rider attempts to get his highest score on his first ride to give the rider his best chance in the final championship round. • Fouled — a rider is fouled when his bull gains an advantage over its rider. For example, a bull can rub against the chute before the ride or the flank strap can fall off before the ride is over. • Qualified ride — when a rider completes his eight seconds without mishap, he’s completed a qualified ride. • Seeded — a rider is seeded if he is among the top 45 bull riders. • SLAP — If a rider’s free hand touches his bull, his ride is over, the clock stops and he receives no score. • Try — term used to describe a bull rider with determination. It’s often said, “That cowboy had a lot of try.”

Bull riding event is popular, dangerous Bull riders get a lot of the rodeo spotlight. No wonder. It’s impressive when an average man can 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. A bull rider will be disqualified for touching the animal, himself or his equipment with his free hand. Bull riding is probably the most popular event in a rodeo. It is also probably the most dangerous. Both the rider and bull are at risk in the event.

Moonshine Mafia: Rodeo is their niche BY MICHELE NELSON ROUNDUP STAFF REPORTER

Fans of local band Moonshine Mafia will most likely see them at a rodeo. Rodeos are a specialty of the group. So it should be no surprise Moonshine Mafia will play for the Friday and Saturday night rodeo dances (Aug. 16 and 17). The band will play its danceable music for all of the two-steppers in town for the August Doin’s at the rodeo grounds. “We do everything from Merle Haggard to Eric Church,” said band spokesman and one of the two lead singers, Clay Sopeland. He said his personal favorite musician is Waylon Jennings. Sopeland and his band have deep roots in the Rim Country. His bass player, Taylor Hale, and he met when they were five years old. “We lived next to each other in Round Valley,” he said. Hale’s father had a band when the two were growing up. Sopeland said Hale started performing with his dad when he was 14 and stayed in Rim Country to continue playing. The two lost touch after high school, when Sopeland moved to Prescott and then lived in Phoenix and California. They met up again when they were 21. The rest is history. “It kinda just all worked out,” said Sopeland.

Moonshine Mafia will be the featured band at the Rodeo Dance Friday and Saturday night. Band members Deak Dietrich, Clay Sopeland, Marty Tkachyk and Taylor Hale were honored when asked to play at Payson’s August Rodeo.

Sopeland met his lead guitar player, Deak Dietrich, in Payson after Dietrich had taken a circuitous route from Sacramento to Tahoe, then Payson, where he met his wife. Dietrich did a lot of studio gigs in Los Angeles, said Sopeland. To this day, sound company guys will stop him to catch up. But Payson captured his heart. “Back in the old days, he used to play at the Winchester next to the Oxbow, but it burned down,” said Sopeland. Sopeland then met drummer Marty Tkachyk. “He originally comes from North Dakota, then played in a bunch of different bands from Flagstaff,” said Sopeland. The guys have been together for four years. Sopeland attributes the easy-going longevity of

the band to a lack of egos. “First time I’ve been in a band that lacks someone with a big ego. It’s a big plus we’re all friends,” he said. When not jamming on stage, the boys hit the woods for some old-fashioned hunting. “We do rifle and bow hunting, deer or elk, whatever one of us gets a tag to hunt,” said Sopeland. Sopeland is proud of what the band has accomplished the past four years. “What we set out to do worked out perfectly,” he said. Two years ago the band opened for Aaron Pippin, a big star in the Atlanta area in the 90s. They have regular gigs in bars in Chandler. “We play in five or six bars, there’s the Spurs Saloon and Bourbon Jack’s,” he said. The band plays at the Wigwam in Litchfield in the spring and fall. A year-and-a-half ago, the band played in Reno. “Collectively, we’ve opened up for a bunch of artists,” said Sopeland. Where they don’t play a whole lot is Payson, so they were honored when asked to play at the August rodeo. Sopeland said the band plans on playing footstomping favorites, but also debut three new songs from the album they are working on — but whatever they play, people have to dance. “For us it’s great to be at home and play for our friends,” said Sopeland, “But there’s gotta be dancing. If people aren’t dancing, we’re not having fun.”

129TH WORLD’S OLDEST CONTINUOUS RODEO

Rodeo road takes lots of twists and turns BY TERESA MCQUERREY ROUNDUP STAFF REPORTER

Penny Conway’s road through the rodeo life has taken lots of twists and turns. The daughter of Milt Simon, who competed in the very first National Finals Rodeo in 1959, she grew up around rodeo and started competing at the age of 8. Not only did her father compete professionally, so did her grandfather; her sister, Pam Sproul, team ropes; her brother, Jay Simon, is a one-time National Finals competitor; her brother, Mark Simon, is a fivetime National Finals competitor; and Conway’s son, Kyle, is a championship team and calf roper. Conway has been a member of the PWRA since she was 12. She was on the National Collegiate Rodeo Team for four years at Arizona State University and Central Arizona College. During that time, she earned regional championships in breakaway roping and goat tying. She also earned a degree in education while in college and taught in public schools for five years. She is married to Bill Conway, who is a member of a 130-year pioneer cattle ranching family in Gila County. Conway dropped out of professional competition in the late 1970s to raise a family. Then in 2001, she decided to return to the thrill of the arena. “Rodeo has always been a way of life for me,” she said. “For me, roping is relaxing. I like to compete, I love horses and I love the sport.” That love led her to claim the 2001 World Championship as team roping header. She continued to compete after that, but her rodeo road took one of those turns. In 2003 she found herself drawn to barrel racing. “Running barrels is tougher than roping,” said Conway. For one thing, training a horse to run barrels takes

time and patience. “When you train a roping horse, you take them out 10 to 15 times in a competition. With barrel racing, you only get one chance,” said Conway. Barrel racing takes a lot out of the horse. Between the intense focus of the running and the repetitive nature of the barrel course, it’s best to run the course full-out only twice a day. Otherwise, “they would get so hot, they would burn out,” said Conway. Last fall her competitive career took a twist and surgery on her arthritic knees forced her out of the arena. This summer she decided it was time to get back up on the horse — literally. She tested herself — her knees and her horse competing in Window Rock and Taylor. She then hit the road for a tour of 10 different rodeos in late July. She, her husband Bill and her horse Promise loaded into their horse trailer-camper combo and headed up to Colorado. Conway competed in Steamboat Springs, Colo.; West Cliff, Colo.; Breckenridge, Colo.; Eagle, Colo.; Deadwood, S.D.; Great Falls, Mont.;

Conway shared bits and pieces of her big trip with the Roundup. July 17 “We’re headed out in the morning. This weekend going to two rodeos, one in Steamboat Springs, Colo. and the other Breckenridge, Colo. I am thinking it will be cool weather in the Rocky Mountains. “Been riding Promise all week to keep her in shape, made a run on Monday morning at the rodeo grounds and was pretty sure I would win anyplace I would go with that run — of course there were no people in the stands, music going, bulls loaded in the chutes, etc. that make for distractions. Anyway, I am ready and confident to head out. “Got Promise new shoes on this

morning too. Tim Baker, who was raised in Payson but now lives in Gilbert, came up to do the job. Barrel racers are really particular who shoes their horse. A bad shoeing job can be like bad shoes that make our feet hurt… very important in this rodeo business, can really make a difference in winning and losing.” July 21 “First rodeo last night at Steamboat Springs, Colo. — made a nice run till we headed toward alley. Promise sees the kids’ bouncy house right next to the alley and she didn’t much want to run past it… just barely missed placing, but was happy with our first run. On to Breckenridge, Colo. this afternoon.” July 25 “Was up at Eagle, Colo. last night. Made a pretty good run, ran in slack after the rodeo so ran around 10:30 p.m., which is waaaay past my bedtime, but when you do good it helps wake you up! On our way to Deadwood, S.D. today had a tire blow out on trailer, but luckily we had bought an impact wrench so tire change went fast.”

Bareback riding is some of rodeo’s wildest action 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 shoulders. 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, he is said to have “missed his mark,” and is disqualified. Throughout the 8-second ride, the cowboy must grasp the rigging (a handhold made of leather and rawhide) with only one hand. Optimum spurring action begins with the rider in control, his heels at the horse’s neck. The cowboy then pulls his feet, toes turned outward, to the horse’s withers until his feet are nearly touching the bareback rigging. A rider is disqualified if he touches his equipment, himself or the animal with his free hand. 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. The horse’s performance is half the total score.

Horse and rider work as one in barrel race Fast horses and skilled riders are a part of many rodeo events, but one of the most beautiful events is barrel racing. The rider and horse work as one to run fast patterns around barrels. Some riders and horses have such finely honed skill and speed they almost seem to be touching the arena floor as they make the astonishingly tight turns around the barrels.

Their hearts belong to rodeo — and each other BY TERESA MCQUERREY ROUNDUP STAFF REPORTER

It has to be a song someday. Dick and Sue Garn came up to the parade for Payson’s World’s Oldest Continuous Rodeo back in 1979 with friends, met on the corner of Highways 87 and 260. They went to one of the rodeo dances at the old Winchester afterward and married in June 1981. They even have a photo of themselves at the old rodeo grounds at Rumsey Park. Yeah, their story would make a great song. They were strangers, but they both had friends in common and the introductions were made where McDonald’s was built not too long afterward. They have been to every rodeo since then — except Sue had to miss one when family members had a golden anniversary celebration. She’d been their flower girl, so was obligated to attend. “I cried all the way to the airport because I was missing the rodeo,” she said. The Garns moved from the Valley to Payson in 1993 and have been helping with the Payson rodeo every year since then. First they were volunteers and then joined the Payson Pro Rodeo Committee. Dick has volunteered with rodeos since he was just 12, starting in Toppenish, Wash., and then at the age of 17, he became a bull rider. He rode bulls for more than 12 years and also tried his hand at saddle bronc riding. His years competing were all up north, he said.

Volunteering with the Payson Rodeo Committee they learned what the local event was all about. “Over in Prescott, you have to be a volunteer before you join the committee,” Dick said. When they first started their volunteer work with the Payson Rodeo, they cooked for the contestants and their families. “That was lots of fun. We found out what their lives are like. They really enjoyed being able to grab a sandwich and get back on the road to the next rodeo,” Sue said. Once they were on the rodeo committee, their jobs changed. Dick worked security, took care of the grand entry gate and was head of the security committee for six years. He also worked the return gate after the death of longtime arena boss and good friend Jim Barrett. Sue worked the back gate and did security, checking in the cowboys, their families and committee members and she helped with the big 50-50 raffle sales and eventually had her own committee. “The rodeo committee gives money to the wrestling team and FFA at the high school. I suggested we ask them to help with the cleanup. They get to see the rodeo for free and we feed them.” Only a few students initially showed up for the job, but before it was over the first year, she had a big crew of youngsters helping. She even arranged to have some of the young people sing the National Anthem.

“It was very fulfilling to work with the youth. The teachers and students were all very respectful,” Sue said. Her most recent job was working the ticket booth at last year’s rodeo. “It was so much fun. I met people from all over the world that had come to Payson just for the rodeo.” Dick also was part of Jim Barrett’s “Medicare Misfits” who would go out to the arena a week in advance of the rodeo to start setting things up. When the Garns first started helping out with the Payson Rodeo there were only about 60 regular hands, now there are about 100.

Dick was one of the crew that helped move the rodeo arena from Rumsey Park to the Event Center. “We were out there for a year-and-a-half cutting trees and hauling rocks. Then we hauled the chutes and even dirt from the old arena,” he said. There is a memorial at the Event Center commemorating the work of all those volunteers who made it possible to open the new facility in May 2000. “Usually it’s covered up by something during the rodeo. I wish they’d leave it so people could see it,” he said. Even though the number of people helping with the rodeo

has grown since the Garns first became involved, there is always a need for more volunteers. One of their recruits is Dick’s brother. For the past two years he has traveled all the way from Washington to help and he will be back this year. He, like Dick, competed in rodeos in his youth riding saddle broncs. Dick’s brother is not the only family member the Garns have had in town for the rodeo. There have been times when they have had at least 100 relatives and friends in Payson for the festivities. “The whole rodeo is familyoriented,” Sue said. “Even with the competitors — you have fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, grandparents, sisters and brothers all competing.” As for their favorite memories — Dick said his is of meeting Jim Barrett. “He was a great buddy and partner.” Sue is most fond of the time she spent with the youngsters from FFA and the wrestling team. “I started with just three, but Wendell Stevens, who was the FFA advisor, told me just wait, she’d start with a few and then there’d be more.” In the end she had 30 young people lending their time and strength to clean the arena after the rodeo. “It was a good experience.” Payson’s World’s Oldest Continuous Rodeo has been a good experience for nearly 130 years for generations of Rim Country residents and visitors. This year, make it a memory for yourself.

Saddle Bronc 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 wild 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. 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 and the length of his spurring stroke. Model spurring action begins with the rider’s feet far forward on the bronc’s point of shoulder, sweeping to the back of the saddle, or “cantle,” as the horse bucks. The rider then snaps his feet back to the horse’s neck a split-second before the animal’s front feet hit the ground. Disqualification results if the rider touches the animal, himself or his equipment with his free hand, if either foot slips out of a stirrup or if he drops the bronc rein. Roundup file photo

Cowboy Church a place to reflect, rest and ready BY TERESA MCQUERREY ROUNDUP STAFF REPORTER

Every Sunday during the August Rodeo in Payson, a small group gathers before the events of the day get under way. It is not a big group; it is not a rowdy group — it is a group of working ranch people and rodeo competitors who know from where their strength, courage and tenacity comes. They are the congregation of the Cowboy Church and they have come to reflect, rest and make ready for the day ahead. The Payson Rodeo is not the only home of the Cowboy Church. There is a Cowboy Church service at just about every contest on the circuit. Ministers lead some services, but most are led by fellow competitors who have a connection with the contestants and a special way of sharing God’s word. Penny Conway, 2001 Professional Women’s Rodeo Association World Champion Team Roper, a barrel racer and former Payson school teacher, believes the Cowboy Church movement is growing. She has been involved in Cowboy Church for many years and she and her husband, Bill Conway, even host an Easter Cowboy Church service at their Green Back Valley Ranch. “Last year there were about 50 attending the August Cowboy Church,” she said. This year she hopes to see more there. Her daughter-inlaw, Sarah, a roper, will be leading the service. “She has a real gift. She spoke at the 2012 Mountain Bible Women’s Retreat and is taking classes through Chalice Bible School,” Conway said. CONTINUED ON PAGE 24

Conway will be organizing the service along with Rob Smets, who is one of the announcers for the rodeo. “I feel like it’s grassroots and a comfortable place for people to come. It’s outside and non-threatening,” she said. One of the founders of the Cowboy Church movement is Coy Huffman of California, Conway said. He led services at rodeos all through the West for many years. He has led services in Payson and when he was in the area, he would stay with Conway and her family and they would help with the services. “It was birthed out of traveling contestants not knowing where to go (for church) in the host communities where they were competing,” Conway said. She said local people liked Courtesy photo to come to the services too. Conway will lead the In addition to the mes- Sarah Cowboy Church service. sage from the primary leaders of the service, often competitors will share their testimony. It is all related in a way that is analogous to Western culture and the cowboy and ranching life. Conway asked others about Cowboy Church in preparation for her visit with the Roundup. • “The first Cowboy Church I attended was at the Payson Event Center and Jake Barnes was the speaker. I think Cowboy Church is successful because no matter what the venue is, worship can be held. Four walls and a roof are not necessary to feel the spirit of The Lord. I loved being around people who are what is termed “salt of the earth.” — Charlene Creach Brown • “For me, I believe it is the casual ‘come as you are’ atmosphere. It is the simple Gospel without all the religious formalism, four-walled intimidation. When a cowboy preacher is standing there in his hat and normal clothes, he/she is a real person, in a real world, with a real message. People can relate to that. Pure and simple Word and worship.” — Bruce Repka • “I think that many people don’t go to church because they haven’t been before or went to an unfriendly church. They are afraid to go to a new place so put it off. So if they are at a race or roping, it makes it easy for them to just wander over and check it out... it gives them the opportunity to be able to walk away so they don’t feel trapped by walls and people that would see them leave... so just the freedom they feel will make them more relaxed, plus they know someone there.” — Carol Anne Ferguson • “For many years I wanted to learn about Jesus but my family was far from church and I did not know how or where to go. I tried church once and was not dressed to fit in or did not know what the rules were. Then came Coy and Cowboy Church at the pro rodeos and my walk with Christ started. It has been the best walk ever and now I miss that, but Christ has me in new places all the time.” – Joanie Cowden • “I completely believe in prayer. We pray before the rodeo... with the rodeo and as Trey is in the box I always bow my head with McKinley and as she says ‘Dear God, help rip that steer’s head off and keep dad safe! Amen.’ It’s so important and God is everywhere keeping our life safe and our animals and our friends and our family!” — Shea Candace Nahrgang The Cowboy Church at the 2013 World’s Oldest Continuous Rodeo in Payson is at 9:30 a.m., Sunday, Aug. 18 under the big white tent by the rodeo arena.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Your honesty might upset some people, but you inevitably win more admirers for having the courage to tell the truth when others are more likely to scramble for cover. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Your efforts to defend your project begin to show favorable results. You should soon be able to win over even the most determined detractors who had lined up against it. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You win praise for your selfless efforts in a very difficult situation. But be careful not to allow your generous nature to be exploited by those who have their own agenda. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A trusted colleague sheds light on a recent spate of puzzling workplace situations. This should give you the information you need to bring to your superior’s attention. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) A shift in workplace management could be helpful for talented Leos and Leonas who have been waiting to have their accomplishments rewarded by receptive leadership. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) A misunderstanding between you and someone you care for should be corrected immediately. This relationship is too important to lose over a bruised ego. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) A welcome piece of good news helps clear the air in a family situation. A job-related incident also eases as more information provides a clearer focus on the problem. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Quick action to heal bruised feelings pays off in a big way. Now you’ll be able to move forward with your plans without that problem holding you back. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Your creativity combined with a positive attitude should give you a considerable edge in finding a way to get around the negativity you’ve run into. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) That sudden streak of stubbornness could cause some problems. Try to be more open to helpful suggestions and more flexible in making needed changes. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Now that that special relationship appears to be well and truly restored, you can spend more time dealing with those long-needed workplace changes. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) A new opportunity sounds promising. But watch out for any conditions that might be attached. Before making a decision, ask that each one be explained in detail.
