by Tricia Lewis Photos by Blushing Cactus Photography Trusted traditions require dedication, determination and vision. Each year hours and hours of planning, organization and coordination occur to produce Prescott Frontier Days®, Inc. and the World’s Oldest Rodeo®. The World’s Oldest Rodeo® is truly Prescott’s most anticipated event of the year, and has been for the past 133 years. It is a tradition that resonates positively with residents, business owners and visitors who crave a true western experience...and a huge boost to the local economy. Except for what we all experienced in 2020 with COVID-19, the World’s Oldest Rodeo® has consistently implemented trusted traditions that make us special, unique and nostalgic. However, the pandemic was a true test of our will, dedication
and strength as an organization, a community and as people. This year our theme best resonates on the outcome of the pandemic: True. Western. Determination. It represents the traditions that make this organization and the World’s Oldest Rodeo® unique. We are true to our roots, to the
culture that many depend on and know Prescott for … and we are determined to survive anything that comes our way! The World’s Oldest Rodeo® is the culture that defines Prescott as a western town. We are the birthplace of professional rodeo, and many come from all over just to experience that and create lifelong memories. Last year was a true test of our strength and overall determination. With the help of members from the community, and permission from the Governor’s office, we produced and held the 133rd World’s Oldest Rodeo® right here at this location. It was different, a bit awkward with the new rules that were enforced, but it turned out to be a great rodeo with great rodeo livestock and contestants. Looking ahead and here we are, the 134th annual World’s Oldest Rodeo® is upon us. It is exciting, refreshing, and a bit

overwhelming to think of all this organization has endured. We are “rodeo strong” and will hopefully be around for the next 134 years in Prescott, Arizona. This year is off to a great start with strong ticket sales and at full capacity, and our sponsors have once again showed up in numbers. We truly appreciate our rodeo fans, sponsors and contestants who continuously support us to make Prescott’s most anticipated event of the year the best it can be! It is our goal and promise to produce the best rodeo, dance, parade and all the other activities held during Prescott Frontier Days®. The reason we are strong is because of each one of you — your dedication to serve as a volunteer, donate as a sponsor, your membership and
10 WORLD’S OLDEST RODEO® • 1888-2021
attendance at member meetings, willingness to ride in the grand entry and proudly display your patriotism in front of thousands of people, is truly an honor and something we as a nonprofit organization do not take lightly. Each year hundreds of volunteers work tirelessly (some yearround) to improve the rodeo grounds, organize merchandise, implement new ways of doing things to contribute to the overall success of this rodeo and organization. Consider this a sincere thank you to each of you! The World’s Oldest Rodeo® is a true, western and determined organization that values the community in which it thrives, and we would not be here without it. We encourage you to enjoy yourself, watch heart-pounding and
world-class rodeo and patronize the vendors in attendance. Remember, the gates open two hours prior to each performance. So come early, shop the vendor spaces, and enjoy some great food (and maybe some livestock sounds) along the way. Don’t forget our annual rodeo dance (held in the Depot Marketplace/BMO Harris Bank parking lot), Arizona’s second largest outdoor parade (held in downtown Prescott) and many other family-friendly events occur from June 28 to July 4; visit www. worldsoldestrodeo.com for more information and event details. Enjoy the World’s Oldest Rodeo®, and if we can do anything to make your experience better, please let us know. Thank you for your support!

Welcome Rodeo Fans and Sponsors!
Welcome to the 134th year of the World’s Oldest Rodeo®, brought to you, our loyal fans, by Prescott Frontier Days® Inc.
We are so happy Y’all can join us as we present the 134th World’s Oldest Rodeo® and all the other events Prescott Frontier Days® has to offer. This is the Best Historic Rodeo, according to True West Magazine for the sixth year in a row and Prescott’s most anticipated event of the year. We are the “Birthplace for Rodeo,” and we cannot wait to share with each of you eight action packed performances, sure to be the best rodeo has to offer. We are extremely fortunate to have the best sponsors, contractors, volunteers and fans in the entire country. We thank each one of you for your loyalty and support every year! We take huge pride in the Cowboys and Cowgirls that compete in our rodeo for the most sought-after Prescott World’s Oldest Rodeo® prize buckle. These men and women are among the elite of PRCA Pro Rodeo competitors in our great sport today. There is a reason why in 2020 the Worlds Oldest Rodeo® was named one of the top 5 large outdoor rodeos in the nation. The Wild Horse Race is always sure to entertain so don’t miss an opportunity to purchase our 2021 poster or t-shirt featuring this very event. We also are pleased to add our newest event in 2021, the very popular Women’s Breakaway Roping for the first year in Prescott. We are full of tradition and history here in Prescott, but we also are known for our “True Western Determination,” which showed in 2020. We are now back 100% and ready to continue our traditions and history for another fun filled week in 2021. Please check out our vendors, PFD mercantile, grab a refreshment or two, sit back and enjoy all the action we have to offer. In closing, on behalf of the entire organization we wish everyone a safe, healthy and enjoyable experience in Prescott and the World’s Oldest Rodeo® during Prescott Frontier Days®. God Bless this Rodeo, watch over each of us and keep us safe as we go through this incredible week of events here at Arizona’s “Place to Be.” Happy 4th of July to all, and thank you to all who are serving or have served this great country and fought for our freedoms. “Tirn em out Wild” and always “Stay Cowboy.” Chris J.

16 WORLD’S OLDEST RODEO® • 1888-2021
This year marks a year of new beginnings…long-time General Manager JC Trujillo retired, and I, as GM, have taken up roots. I will strive to continue what makes the WOR special while taking it to the next stage in the evolution of this spectacular sport we call RODEO. Another new beginning in the WOR is the addition of the WPRA and PRCA newest event partnership- the breakaway roping. It is exciting that PFD will be offering this great opportunity for more cowgirls to compete at the 134th WOR, and I guarantee that you will enjoy this fast paced event. A quick glance at my history…born in LV, NV, enjoyed two brief stints in Pahrump, NV and Seligman, AZ before finally landing on a ranch in central NM. I attended college at Tarleton State University in Stephenville, TX on a rodeo scholarship, where I received my bachelor’s degree in animal science followed by a masters degree in agriculture tailor-made for me to include sports marketing and a coaching emphasis, while also serving as the rodeo team’s assistant coach. I then went on to be the first official rodeo coach at NMSU for 13.5 years, while there, my team brought home countless regional titles, several national individual titles and almost a dozen regional “Rodeo of the Year” awards. I was named National Coach of the Year in 2007. Rodeo production has been my passion, and I was honored to be selected as the College National Finals Rodeo Arena Director in 2009, a position I currently hold and love doing. In 2016, I moved on from coaching and branched out to facilities management when a multimillion dollar facility came available near my family ranch home in Socorro, NM. There I served as the Socorro Rodeo & Sports Complex Director and City of Socorro Tourism Director. As far as my rodeo career history, I was the PFD WOR Saddle Bronc Rider 1999 champion and 2003 co-champion. I qualified for the Turquoise Circuit Finals 4x, qualified for the Ram NCFR once, and the CNFR twice. At the height of my career, I was sidelined with a hard-toswallow knee injury, which prevented me from rodeoing full time and pursuing that gold buckle dream. I did make the trip to the NFR once as a flank man for the Vold Rodeo Co. in 2016, I helped the Vold family out over the past 12 years in various positions like pick-up man, flankman, chute boss and general labor. Speaking of the Vold’s…this year’s Parade Grand Marshals are Karen and Kirsten Vold, they are celebrating the 50-year mark of Vold Rodeo Company providing stock to the WOR. It is our honor to have such a committed and passionate family to provide outstanding stock for this prestigious, historic event. Without the continued support of our sponsors, volunteers and fans this rodeo would not survive, so I would like to thank ALL of you for your continued support. Here’s to another 134 years with PFD and the WOR! Let’s Rodeo! Jim Dewey Brown General Manager Prescott Frontier Days® Inc.

STATE OF ARIZONA - OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR Congratulations on the 134th year of the “The World’s Oldest Rodeo®” in Prescott, Arizona.
and fans – welcome to beautiful Prescott and the State of Arizona. I wish you all the best.
On July 4, 1888, a group of Prescott merchants and businessmen organized what they called a “cowboy tournament” offering cash prizes and showcasing the spirit, skill and athleticism of local cowboys and ranchers.
2020 was a challenging year, but the Prescott Rodeo endured. I look forward to Arizonans and rodeo fans enjoying another 134 years of the “The World’s Oldest Rodeo®” – and many more.
Every year since, competitors and fans have come from around the world to enjoy the excitement of the Prescott Rodeo. And no event showcases the boundless spirit of Arizona and the desert southwest better.
Sincerely,
To this year’s rodeo organizers and sponsors – thank you for your hard work and support. To the competitors

A Big Local Welcome YAVAPAI COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS Welcome to the 134th Annual World’s Oldest Rodeo® “True. Western. Determination” In Prescott, Arizona since the year 1888, this traditional western event during the Fourth of July weekend includes parades and pagentry, dances and of course the rodeo itself. These activities are for all age groups to enjoy while celebrating our western heritage and the birth of our beloved nation. As in 1888, the first rodeo was a reflection of our “True. Western. Determination.” to keep our heritage alive and celebrate our people’s love of the outdoors and the western work ethic that has served this nation so well before and since. Through the years and even now, the western life style has been the envy of people throughout the world and still is alive and well today. Please celebrate it with us!
We want to thank all the folks from all over this world for coming to Yavapai County and the City of Prescott area to enjoy this truly international event. Please visit our downtown establishments and the western hospitality that can be found there, enjoy time in our open space areas, maybe take a stroll on one of our many trails in the rocky hills or through the pine covered forest. However, please don’t forget the rodeo!! The entire Board of Supervisors for Yavapai County wishes for you to have a wonderful holiday here in Yavapai County and we know you’ll enjoy the World’s Oldest Rodeo®. Sincerely, Craig L. Brown, Chairman Yavapai County Board of Supervisors District 4
CITY OF PRESCOTT - OFFICE OF THE MAYOR Greetings, Rodeo Fans, and Welcome to Prescott: We are thrilled to host the 134th edition of the iconic World’s Oldest Rodeo®. Particularly this year, Prescott Frontier Days® is one of our most anticipated and celebrated events. We are so pleased to be able to host in-person events again in Prescott. I am also proud that, even during the pandemic, the rodeo went on, keeping the tradition alive and well. Prescott cherishes our history and Western heritage, as the First Territorial Capital of Arizona. Prescott is home to the legendary Whiskey Row, the Sharlot Hall Museum, which houses the territorial governor’s mansion, the Phippen Museum of Western Art, the Western Heritage Center, and the Museum of Indigenous Peoples. Prescott is an ideal place for those seeking a historic, charming community surrounded by natural beauty, infused with culture and higher education.

YAVAPAI COUNTY COMMUNITY HEALTH SERVICES It is with great anticipation that we welcome the World’s Oldest Rodeo® back to Yavapai County again this year! After a long and challenging year, this event gives our community the opportunity to get out, create and relive unique memories; continuing the tradition of bringing one of the most exciting local events to you, our rodeo fans! Even during a pandemic, when most rodeos were postponed or canceled last summer, the World’s Oldest Rodeo® limited capacity and made several Covid-19 preventing adjustments and was a success. This year the rodeo is gearing up to be an awesome event! As the local Public Health Director, I have worked with the rodeo planning committee and it is my hope that this event will provide a safe venue that brings out the spirit of community and entertainment that has always been a part of rodeo

Edited and written in part by Tricia Lewis and excerpts taken from Danny Freeman Our story starts in Prescott, Arizona Territory, located in Yavapai County, even as it is today. In that year of 1888, it was a small town, just 24 years old. It was this town, Prescott, that became the birthplace to professional rodeo as we know it today. American settlers and government people came to the area of presentday Prescott, Arizona, early in 1864 and established the first capital of Arizona Territory. As the area filled with miners, military people and freighters, cattlemen moved in with their herds to furnish beef to the meat-hungry population.
Continuing growth in population in the area brought about the establishment of more and more ranches. An ever-increasing number of cowboys came in to do the work on the ranches until by the 1880s there were about as many cowboys in the area as there were miners who worked in the mines. Quite naturally, the townspeople were interested in what went on on the ranches and in the mines because their livelihood depended on those two main forms of industry. In those days, as today, ranches held roundups once or twice a year. At that time, cattle were branded, ears marked, the males castrated and those male and female, to be marketed, were separated out. Roundups over, the cowboys of the various ranches, eager for fun and recreation after what often was grueling work, challenged each other to decide who was the best roper and the best “bronco” rider. These informal, spontaneous occasions offered an opportunity for both friends and participants to watch and wager money on their favorites. Cowboys and ranchers alike looked forward to these friendly and exciting events. Beginning that first year, in 1864, when Prescott became the state capital, elaborate plans were made to celebrate Independence Day on the Fourth of July. Back in those days, sporting events were not held in Prescott, nor anywhere across America, on the Fourth of July. That day was dedicated to parades, band
34 WORLD’S OLDEST RODEO® • 1888-2021
concerts, patriotic oratory and the like. Until July 4, 1888! Without realizing it, and with no intent on its part of doing so, the committee that organized the big Fourth of July celebration beginning back in 1888, made sports history! In their planning, committee members established the criteria of organized, modern rodeo. The rules were: 1. A committee must organize and put the rodeo on; 2. Cowboys had to be invited to compete; 3. Admission was charged to pay expenses; 4. Prizes were awarded; 5. Documentation must occur for each event. Thus, professional rodeo was to be born at Prescott, Arizona Territory – first capital of Arizona – during that 1888, July 4th celebration. This year, Prescott Frontier Days®, Inc. will hold the 134th World’s Oldest Rodeo® at the Prescott Rodeo Grounds.

Wild Horse Racing
Go Extreme!
Wild horse racing became a part of the Prescott Frontier Days® Celebration in 1913 as part of the first Cowboy Contest to be held at the present site. The first race consisted of five to eight teams of three men catching, saddling the wild horse, and racing around the half-mile track to determine the winner. The wild horse race was stopped in 1950 due to the traveling expense of the teams across the U.S. In 1972, with the arrival of Harry Vold and his top rated rodeo stock company, wild horse racing became the opening event once more at the World’s Oldest Rodeo®. Today, the show is pretty much as it was in 1913 within arena space limitations. The teams consist of three key players. A shankman, a mugger, and a rider. The unpredictable sport often leaves spectators mesmerized by an arena filled with wild horses, and cowboys running about. The object of this Buckaroo Brilliance is simple – contain a 1,200 pound unbroken bucking horse with nothing but a lead shank and halter. Bring him to a stop, control the animal’s actions, cinch down a saddle and buck him to the finish line. This must be performed while other teams are trying to accomplish the identical task at the same time and all in less than two minutes. Does the expression Wild Wild West come to mind? Over the past 100 years, the event of three-man bronc riding

has been refined and the sport has evolved into more than just a tradition, but one of the most challenging and competitive events in Professional Rodeo. As with many sports, cowboys are always looking to up the ante... Just as the sport of
MotorCross introduced us to the “X-Games,” television reality show competitions brought us “Xtreme Fear Factor,” and even the PRCA has introduced Extreme Bulls, in 2012, a group of Professional Cowboys decided to take rodeo to the next level with the introduction of Xtreme Bronc Riding.
Steer Wrestling Speed and strength are the name of the game in steer wrestling. In fact, with a world record sitting at 2.4 seconds, steer wrestling is the quickest event in rodeo. The objective of the steer wrestler, who is also known as a “bulldogger,” is to use strength and technique to wrestle a steer to the ground as quickly as possible. That sounds simple enough. Here’s the catch: the steer generally weighs more than twice as much as the cowboy and, at the time the two come together, they’re both often traveling at 30 miles per hour. Speed and precision, the two most important ingredients in steer wrestling, make bulldogging one of rodeo’s most challenging events. As with tie-down and team ropers, the bulldogger starts on horseback in a box. A breakaway rope barrier is attached to the steer and stretched across the open end of the box. The steer gets a head start that is determined by the size of the arena. When the steer reaches the advantage point, the barrier is released and the bulldogger takes off in pursuit. If the bulldogger breaks the barrier before the steer reaches his head start, a 10-second penalty is assessed. In addition to strength, two other skills critical to success in steer wrestling are timing and balance. When the cowboy reaches the steer, he slides down and off the right side of his galloping horse, hooks his right arm around the steer’s right horn, grasps the left horn with his left hand and, using strength and leverage, slows the animal and wrestles it to the ground. His work isn’t complete until the steer is on its side with all four feet pointing the same direction.

That’s still not all there is to it. To catch the sprinting steer, the cowboy uses a “hazer,” who is another mounted cowboy who gallops his horse along the right side of the steer and keeps it from veering away from the bulldogger. The efforts of the hazer can be nearly as important as those of the steer wrestler. For that reason, and the fact that he sometimes supplies the bulldogger with a horse, the hazer often receives a fourth of the payoff.

Bareback Riding Bareback riders endure more abuse, suffer more injuries and carry away more longterm damage than all other rodeo cowboys. To stay aboard the horse, a bareback rider uses a rigging made of leather and constructed to meet PRCA safety specifications. The rigging, which resembles a suitcase handle on a strap, is placed atop the horse’s withers and secured with a cinch. Bareback riding has been compared to riding a jackhammer with one hand. As the bronc and rider burst from the chute, the rider must have both spurs touching the horse’s shoulders until the horse’s feet hit the ground after the initial move from the chute. This is called “marking out.” If the cowboy fails to do this, he is disqualified. As the bronc bucks, the rider pulls his knees up, rolling his spurs up the horse’s shoulders. As the horse descends, the cowboy straightens his legs, returning his spurs over the point of the horse’s shoulders in anticipation of the next jump.

Making a qualified ride and earning a money winning score requires more than just strength. A bareback rider is judged on his spurring technique, the degree to which his toes remain turned out while he is spurring and his willingness to take whatever might come during his ride. It’s a tough way to make a living, all right. But, according to bareback riders, it’s the cowboy way.

Tie Down Roping As with saddle bronc riding and team roping, the roots of tie-down roping can be traced back to the working ranches of the Old West. When calves were sick or injured, cowboys had to rope and immobilize them quickly for veterinary treatment. Ranch hands prided themselves on the speed with which they could rope and tie calves, and they soon turned their work into informal contests. Today, the mounted cowboy starts from a box, a three sided fenced area adjacent to the chute holding the calf. The fourth side of the box opens into the arena. A cowboy’s success in tie-down roping depends in large part on the precise teamwork between him and his horse. The calf receives a head start that is determined by the length of the arena. One end of a breakaway rope barrier is looped around the calf’s neck and stretched across the open end of the box. When the calf reaches its advantage point, the barrier is released. If the roper breaks the barrier before the calf reaches its head start, the cowboy is assessed a 10-second penalty. The horse is trained to come to a stop as soon as the cowboy throws his loop and catches the calf. The cowboy then dismounts, sprints to the calf and throws it by hand, a maneuver called flanking. If the calf is not standing when the cowboy reaches it, he must allow the calf to get back on its feet before flanking it. After the calf is flanked, the roper ties any three legs together with a pigging string - a short, looped rope he clenches in his teeth during the run.

While the contestant is accomplishing all of that, his horse must pull back hard enough to eliminate any slack in the rope, but not so hard as to drag the calf. When the roper finishes tying the calf, he throws his hands in the air as a signal that the run is completed. The roper then remounts his horse, rides forward to create slack in the rope and waits six seconds to see if the calf remains tied. If the calf kicks free, the roper receives no time.

Women’s Breakaway Roping History Girls’ breakaway actually first emerged in high school rodeo. The National High School Rodeo Association has been crowning a national champion since 1953. The event didn’t appear in college rodeo until 1969. The WPRA had tie-down roping dating back to 1948 but added breakaway roping in the 1970’s off and on until it was annual in 1989. The first-ever WPRA Breakaway Roping World Champion was Becky Berggen in 1974, followed by Becky Fuchs in 1975. A champion wouldn’t be named again until 1982 when Pam Minick won the title.
In 2017, the breakaway ropers of the WPRA began making efforts to introduce their event into Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) events in the Columbia River Circuit (that includes the states of Oregon and Washington) with the hope this small spark would light a bigger fire within the industry. They introduced breakaway into iconic rodeos like Ellensburg, Washington and Pendleton, Oregon, and by 2019 the WPRA was sanctioning up to 30 breakaway roping events at PRCA rodeos. In 2020, the WPRA in partnership with the PRCA agreed to open it up to any sanctioned rodeo wanting to add breakaway roping to their list of events bringing a new spotlight to the event as never before. The WPRA started keeping standings for breakaway events held at PRCA sanctioned rodeos versus those events co-approved by the WPRA. As a result in 2020 the WPRA World Champion Breakaway Roper will be determined by the ProRodeo standings instead of the
traditional WPRA coapproved standings. As a result of the WPRA and PRCA partnership women breakaway ropers now have more opportunities and the two Associations are working to make the event more “rodeo mainstream.”

The Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo was the first rodeo in 2020 to not only add breakaway roping to its legendary rodeo but was the first to offer equal money to breakaway ropers. Event Description Don’t blink or you may just miss the run. Breakaway roping is the event comparable to the men’s tie-down roping on the cowboy side except the cowgirls are not required to dismount and tie the calf. In breakaway roping, the cowgirl has a flag tied close to the end of her rope and a nylon string tied from the rope to the saddle horn. Once the barrier is released and the calf leaves the roping chute, the cowgirl gives chase throwing the loop around the calf’s neck. When the rope grows tight after the calf is roped, the string breaks away from the saddle horn and the flag goes flying, signaling the timer to stop the clock. The time in the breakaway roping can sometimes get as fast as 2.0 seconds and since it is a timed event, the fastest time wins. A broken barrier results in a 10-second penalty.

Saddle Bronc Riding Saddle bronc riding is rodeo’s classic event, both a complement and contrast to the wilder spectacles of bareback riding and bull riding. This event requires strength to be sure, but the event also demands style, grace and precise timing. Saddle bronc riding evolved from the task of breaking and training horses to work the cattle ranches of the Old West. Many cowboys claim riding saddle broncs is the toughest rodeo event to master because of the technical skills necessary for success. Every move the bronc rider makes must be synchronized with the movement of the horse. The cowboy’s objective is a fluid ride, somewhat in contrast to the wilder and less controlled rides of bareback riders. One of the similarities shared by saddle bronc and bareback riding is the rule that riders in both events must mark out their horses on the first jump from the chute. To properly mark out his horse, the saddle bronc rider must have both heels touching the animal above the point of its shoulders when it makes its first jump from the chute. If the rider misses his mark, he receives no score. While a bareback rider has a rigging to hold onto, the saddle bronc rider has only a thick rein attached to his horse’s halter. Using one hand, the cowboy tries to stay securely seated in his saddle. If he touches any part

of the horse or his own body with his free hand, he is disqualified. Judges score the horse’s bucking action, the cowboy’s control of the horse and the cowboy’s spurring action. While striving to keep his toes turned outward, the rider spurs from the points of the horse’s shoulders to the back of the saddle. To score well, the rider must maintain that action throughout the eight second ride. While the bucking ability of the horse is quite naturally built into the scoring system, a smooth, rhythmic ride is sure to score better than a wild, uncontrolled effort.

Team Roping Team roping, the only true team event in ProRodeo, requires close cooperation and timing between two highly skilled ropers – a header and a heeler - and their horses. The event originated on ranches when cowboys needed to treat or brand large steers and the task proved too difficult for one man. The key to success? Hard work and endless practice. Team roping partners must perfect their timing, both as a team and with their respective horses. Similar to tie-down ropers and steer wrestlers, team ropers start from the boxes on each side of the chute from which the steer enters the arena. The steer gets a head start determined by the length of the arena.

One end of a breakaway barrier is attached to the steer and stretched across the open end of the header’s box. When the steer reaches his advantage point, the barrier is released, and the header takes off in pursuit, with the heeler trailing slightly further behind. The ropers are assessed a 10-second penalty if the header breaks the barrier before the steer completes his head start. Some rodeos use heeler barriers, too.

The header ropes first and must make one of three legal catches on the steer – around both horns, around one horn and the head or around the neck. Any other catch by the header is considered illegal and the team is disqualified. After the header makes his catch, he turns the steer to the left and exposes the steer’s hind legs to the heeler. The heeler then attempts to rope both hind legs. If he catches only one foot, the team is assessed a five second penalty. After the cowboys catch the steer, the clock is stopped when there is no slack in their ropes and their horses face one another.

Barrel Racing

Barrel racing has no judges but time and accuracy. It is graceful and simplistic – a cowgirl, three barrels, a horse and a stopwatch. But what a horse – a proven barrel racing horse can cost $50,000! The objective – ride the horse as quickly as possible around a cloverleaf course of three barrels and win. Hesitate and lose. The sport is timed to the hundredth of a second. When the racer enters the arena, an electronic

eye starts the clock. The clock is stopped the instant the horse completes the pattern. The cowgirl may elect to execute the pattern to the left, completing the pattern to the right, or from the right and complete from the left. Not only must the horse be quick, but intelligent enough to avoid tipping the barrels. An infraction of five second time penalties per barrel assures no reward of winning.

Bull Riding Rodeo competition, in the beginning, was a natural extension of the daily challenges cowboys confronted on the ranch. Such as roping calves and breaking broncs into saddle horses. Bull riding, which is intentionally climbing on the back of a 2,000 pound bull, emerged from the fearless and possibly foolhardy nature of the cowboy. The risks are obvious. Serious injury is always a possibility for those fearless enough to sit astride an animal that literally weighs a ton and is usually equipped with dangerous horns. Regardless, cowboys do it, fans love it and bull riding ranks as one of rodeo’s most popular events. Bull riding is dangerous and predictably exciting, demanding intense physical prowess, supreme mental toughness and courage. Like bareback and saddle bronc riders, the bull rider may use only one hand to stay aboard during the eight-second ride. If he touches the bull or himself with his free hand, he receives no score. But unlike the other roughstock contestants, bull riders are not required to mark out their animals. While spurring a bull can add to the cowboy’s score, riders are commonly judged solely on their ability to stay aboard the twisting, bucking mass of muscle. Balance, flexibility, coordination, quick reflexes and, perhaps above all, a strong mental attitude are the stuff of which good bull riders are made. To stay aboard the bull, a rider grasps a flat braided rope, which is wrapped around the bull’s chest just behind the front legs and over its withers. One end of the bull rope, called the tail, is threaded through a loop

on the other end and tightened around the bull. The rider then wraps the tail around his hand, sometimes weaving it through his fingers to further secure his grip. Then he nods his head, the chute gate swings open, and he and the bull explode into the arena. Every bull is unique in its bucking habits. A bull may dart to the left, then to the right, then rear back. Some spin or continuously circle in one spot in the arena. Others add jumps or kicks to their spins, while others might jump and kick in a straight line or move side to side while bucking.

Steer Roping One mounted cowboy pursues a full-grown steer with reinforced horns; lassos it with his rope, catching the animal by the horns; fastens the rope to his saddle; and stops his horse suddenly. With the steer’s horns roped, the roper throws the slack of the rope over its hip, turns his horse to the left, as the rope tightens it lifts the steer’s hip up and pulls the head around as the steer falls on its side. The cowboy then quickly dismounts and ties three of the steer’s feet with a ‘’pigging string’’ using a halfhitch knot, colloquially called, ‘’two wraps, and a hooey.” Raising both hands,the cowboy signals completion of his task.

As in calf roping, the steer must stay tied for six seconds, and the same barrier penalties apply. The event is timed, and the contestant with the fastest time wins.

Rodeo Livestock - The Humane Facts In professional rodeo, cowboys share the limelight with the livestock. Rodeo is a rugged, wild sport. Like a well-conditioned athlete, an animal can perform well only if it is healthy. Any cowboy will tell you he takes home a paycheck only when the animal is in top form. Specific rules govern how long an animal can remain in transit before a rest, how many times an animal can perform in a specified period of time, and that an inspection of the animals is required before each performance; any animals deemed not in top condition, do not perform. Additional rules govern facilities to be free of hazards to the animals, specify arena preparation, a conveyance for transport of injured animals, the use of fleeced lined flank straps placed away from animal’s genitals, prohibit sharpened spurs by riders, and require the presence of a veterinarian on site for all performances. Stock contractors pay up to five figures for top rated animals. Naturally, this motivates care of these investments. For many, these animals are more than mere investments; they are “members of the family.” The average bucking horse, or bull, works less than five minutes a year in the arena, as a result they can

live to be 20 years of age and 15 years respectively. Veterinarians attribute these long, healthy lifespans to good care, quality feed, and adequate exercise. Some bulls and horses have natural bucking tendencies. The absolute determination to buck if something is on its back, often an inherited trait, is what makes an animal a candidate for rodeo livestock. This tendency is the focus of the “Born to Buck” breeding program. Simply stated, “If everything is done right, when the animals arrive at the arena, they’re excited. They know the game and they’re looking forward to it. They are ready to buck!” Prescott Frontier Days® takes pride in the care and well-being of all animals used in performances of the World’s Oldest Rodeo®.
VOLD Rodeo Company Kirsten Vold, Owner — The youngest of six children, Kirsten started taking over the Vold Rodeo Company when she was just 25. Since, she has built on the legacy her Canadian-born father began nearly six decades ago. It may seem like a natural progression, but Kirsten didn’t always see herself living on the rodeo trail. Home-schooled until her freshman year in high school, Vold grew up on the road, ensconced in the life of the cowboy and the excitement of the rodeo. After graduating from University of Southern Colorado in 1996 with a B.A. in communications, Kirsten decided to put her degree to work with a job in sports marketing and promotion. “If you ask me the No. 1 reason why I do what I do, it’s because of the animals,” she beams. “I love working with animals.”

Vold is now considered a trusted veteran in the industry, and her family’s company sets the standard by which all others are measured. PHOTO BY MILLER PHOTO
Whether at the rodeo or the ranch, Kirsten’s horses are her life and she is committed to breeding and raising champions. In 2015 Kirsten was the recipient of the Tad Lucas Memorial Award and was inducted into the Rodeo Hall of Fame. The Vold Rodeo Company has been the stock contractor at the World’s Oldest Rodeo® for the past 50 years. Their legacy continues with the amazing bucking horses and bulls that they bring each and every year. More information is available at www.voldrodeo.com.

1928 PRESCOTT RULES
Rodeo’s Rules of Wide Fame By 1928 the “Prescott Rules” had become “Rodeo’s Rules of Wide Fame.” They had been worked to a fine point by Lester Ruffner, former arena director, Doc Pardee, arena director in 1926, 1927 and 1928, and Grace Sparkes, secretary of Prescott Frontier Days® since 1915. By 1928, these rules had been found to be almost foolproof and had been copied and used at many of the big rodeos held throughout the country. Few complaints had been lodged against them or the judges during this era and the Prescott rodeo was being held up as a shining example to be copied in other places where cowboy sports were featured.
distant, it is held to be not too soon to print the general rules for the contests, which follow:
In 1928, many noted Wild West shows were conducted on the rules adopted in Prescott and made famous through their general acclaim by the show-following punchers. The rules were held to be fair to all concerned: the show directors, the participants and the public which pays its money to take in the contests.
“The management assumes no responsibility for accident or injury to contestants or stock, and each participant by the act of entry or participation waives all claims against the management for any injury they or their stock may sustain.
“With the big show, the 40th annual Prescott Frontier Days® celebration, started in 1888, less than a month • “Rowdyism. • “Quarreling with judges or officials. • “Abusing stock. • “Failure to give assistance when requested to do so by the arena director. • “Not being ready for events when called. • “Being under the influence of intoxicants, or attempting to take unfair advantage of rules. • “The management is going to run a snappy program and every contestant will be required to lend his assistance to keep it going. • “Any contestant refusing to ride, rope or participate in any event when called or withdrawing from any event in which he is entered, will be disqualified in all events in which he is entered. • “Identification numbers will be

“This contest will be held in the afternoon, commencing exactly 1:30 p.m. You can dance all night, sleep and recuperate in the forenoon, but be sure to be in the parade at 12:45 p.m. every day of the show. “Every contestant must have his own outfit and be ready when called and no cowboy will be entered who is not willing to wear his big hat and boots at all times. If you are ashamed of being a cowboy, stay away from here.
“Management has the right to withdraw any contestant’s name and entry and refuse to allow stock to be used for any of the following reasons, to wit:
issued and must be worn in a visible manner at all times while in the arena. • “Every contestant must ride in every parade and grand entry. Failing to do so means disqualification. • “There will be no substitutes in these contests. This is a contest of cowboy sports. open to the world of cowboys, who are sportsmen, so if you do not think you can win without help or if you are afraid of getting hurt, get a grandstand seat instead of a receipt for entrance fees. • “The management positively will issue no passes. Only contestants wearing official numbers will be admitted to the grounds. • “Mounted parade contestants will be admitted to arena grounds only. • “The management reserves
the right to refuse entry of, or withdraw from entry, any contestant who has been dishonest in the competitions, or who has proven to be an undesirable character at any recognized cowboy contest, or elsewhere, and entrance fee shall be forfeited. • “Any attempt to take unfair advantage of any rule in any event will result in disqualification of contestants from this and all other contests held under this management. • “Any contestant who protests the decision of the judges, automatically disqualifies himself. These judges are elected by contestants and are given their service gratis. Their decision must be respected.”

Luke Kraut - Bullfighter Luke Kraut has been a part of the World’s Oldest Rodeo® for the past three years and we are honored to have him as a part of our rodeo team. He was raised on a small cattle station in Queensland, Australia. Born with a passion for livestock and knew he wanted to make a living around the industry. At 15, Luke started entering some small rodeos in steer riding and novice bull riding and continued to ride bulls in Australia until the age of 19. He traveled to the U.S., to Arizona, with some friends and went to an elite rodeo school and
he knew then that America was the place to be if you wanted to rodeo for a living. In 1995, he moved to the U.S. permanently and started to fight bulls as a means to supplement his living. He is also a horse farrier in the greater Phoenix area. He received his PRCA and PBR cards and rode bulls for approximately six years then truly missed fighting bulls and went back to fighting bulls. Fighting bulls has been great to him and it’s truly his passion. Luke has truly an impressive rodeo career and fights bulls in many

Tough Enough to Wear Pink Tough Enough to Wear Pink (TETWP), the grassroots cowboy campaign to fight breast cancer, celebrates its seventeenth anniversary. Through the combined efforts of hundreds of volunteers and regional rodeos across the U.S. and Canada, TETWP has raised over $20 million since its inception in 2004. The money raised benefits local breast cancer charities and the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, which funds breast cancer research projects throughout the word.. Tough Enough to Wear Pink was created when Terry Wheatley teamed up with former director of special events at Wrangler, Karl Stressman, and issued a challenge: wear the color pink during competition at the Wrangler NFR. The idea was to bring attention to the need for breast cancer early detection and a cure. While pink is not typically associated with rough and tumble rodeo cowboys, the industry and fans rose to the challenge filling the arena with the symbolic color. Inspired rodeo associations began asking how they could put on TETWP events at their own hometown rodeos, and
the grassroots fundraising took off, one rodeo at a time. In 2020, Prescott Frontier Days®, Inc. raised $12,800 from our Tough Enough to Wear Pink project. The money is used for Fry’s gift cards and donations to YRMC Breastcancer Center, for cancer patients in need. These gift cards can be used to help with prescription costs, food needs and fuel to get to their treatment appointments. No administration fee is deducted, allowing 100% of the proceeds to go directly to those in need. Since 2006, Prescott Frontier Days®, Inc. has donated over $47,000 to help local cancer patients. Profits from pink merchandise available for purchase at the rodeo will go to this community program. The amount donated will depend on the generosity of the community. Stop by the “pink” vendor area and purchase a raffle ticket toward the Tough Enough to Wear Pink® jacket.

Those That Lend A Hand Imagine the arena quiet, the pens empty, only dust and sky. Rodeos, whether small or large, legendary or local, depend on volunteers and sponsors to bring a rodeo to life! To produce the World’s Oldest Rodeo®, and others like it, takes the community, one and all, their generosity in body, mind and resources. With the help of volunteers and funds contributed, arena floors are lovingly prepared, grounds and pens are prepared for incoming stock and competitors, grandstands are cleaned, repaired, painted, and areas stocked to await the faithful fans. Behind the scenes, budget and marketing promote rodeo, enlightening a new generation to the unique experience of rodeo. Most rodeo organizations survive on a small group of individuals handling the day to day operations, but when rodeo season comes ... time, talent and resources are in high demand, but generally in scarce supply.
It doesn’t matter your age, your physical abilities, your skills, or your economic status in the community, everyone is welcome, everyone is appreciated. Every job is important; every cent is valued. Rodeo is not just a sport; it is a way of life, honored traditions and heritage founded on the open range. For Prescott, and other communities like us, rodeo is the principle that drives our communities, our citizens, and our moral character. To our volunteers and our sponsors, we owe everything! Without you, there would be no rodeo. For 134 years, we have shared our common love of rodeo. We are most humbled, and most grateful for your past and present support, and for the future, yet to come. Sincerely, Prescott Frontier Days®, Inc.

Happy Hearts Rodeo for Exceptional Children June 28, 2021 During the 1980s the wife of a PRCA cowboy conceived an idea to offer exceptional children a first-hand “rodeo experience.” In partnership with the PRCA, the idea became reality. Prescott Frontier Days® was honored to participate. After several years, the PRCA program was dissolved, but PFD continued the tradition, recognizing the need within our own community. All rodeo events are modified, and take place on the ground, so each contestant can be involved. There are no limits to what they can achieve as long as we help them believe. All participants are treated to dinner and the evening rodeo performance. A goodie bag is provided by the sponsors. In recent years, the partnership with Horses with Heart has expanded the program utilizing resources of this local based charitable organization, directly designed to extend and enhance the experiences for our exceptional children. They are truly the “heart” in our rodeo. Please support this truly extraordinary organization.

ert Bonnaha was born July 8, 1930 in Prescott, Arizona in a wahm bunvah (traditional home) on Yavapai homelands before it was a reservation. He later relocated to Clarkdale, Arizona with his family where he attended public school. At 17 he served his country in the United States Army and is a proud veteran of the Korean War. After four years in the 28th Infantry Regiment as a medic he came home to Prescott. As a kid Bert and his cousins would jump on the backs of burros and grab onto their manes and ride until they were thrown. This is when he knew he loved riding bronc horses. Bert's first rodeo was in the early 1950's at the Flagstaff Pow Wow and Rodeo, where he entered the saddle bronc riding event and won! In Flagstaff, at the age of 25, he earned the title of All-Around Cowboy, winning the three events he entered: team roping, bull riding and saddle bronc. Bert joined the Rodeo Cowboys' Association in 1965, which later became the Professional Rodeo Cowboys' Association. Bert and his wife Gloria raised their six children on the Yavapai Prescott Indian Reservation. Bert retired as an X-ray tech from the VA Hospital and Indian Health Services after 35 years. His home remains on the reservation today. As a member and oldest Tribal Elder of the Yavapai-Prescott Indian Tribe, Bert enjoys attending the local tribe events, Pow Wow gatherings and Prescott's Oldest Rodeo. He is a member of a local Gourd Dance Society which consists of Veterans who gather at Pow Wow to honor all Veterans, pas and present, in song and dance. This ceremonial dancing is very moving as they remember and honor all soldiers for the sacrifices they made to keep our country free. "God Bless America!"

38th Annual Old Timers Reunion Each year, with honor and gratitude, Prescott Frontier Days®, Inc. hosts and welcomes cowboys and cowgirls who competed at the World’s Oldest Rodeo® prior to 1979. Believe it or not, we have several rodeo legends that live in the Prescott area and around Arizona. It is a time to stop, say thank you and recognize the rodeo family that is legendary in many ways. Initially, it was by invitation only and was limited to those that lived only in Yavapai County. However, in 1988, during the Centennial year, the invitation to attend was open to all those that competed before 1950 regardless where they resided. This reunion is open to past cowboys and cowgirls, their spouses, and rodeo queens who competed prior to 1979. The “Old-Timers” represent a special and unique breed of “cowboy.” Prior to 1948, rodeo was basically
done by ranch cowboys. With the creation of the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA), professional cowboy athletes, who made their living from rodeo way of life, began to emerge. The ranch cowboy found it difficult to compete with professional cowboys and one by one they withdrew from competition. Today, we celebrate those that join us on the final performance of each year. Many “Old-Timers” get together with other “old- timers” and reminisce about old days but also talk about what is happening in their lives today. It is truly a joy and honor to watch history in the making and sometimes, this reunion, is the only time they see each other all year long.

The PRCA’s Circuit System Circuit cowboys — or “weekend warriors” as they are sometimes known — typically work normal jobs just like the rest of us. But when the weekend comes, they hit the road to compete in a few rodeos close to home. While they aren’t less serious about their sport, their families or professional obligations require them to stick closer to home instead of traveling for weeks or months at a time. In 1975, the PRCA recognized the need for an award system for those cowboys who might never qualify for a Wrangler National Finals Rodeo. The association created the PRCA’s Circuit System consisting of 12 geographic regions that include as few as one state or as many as 13. Each PRCA cowboy in the United States chooses a home

circuit at the beginning of the year or is assigned to one that corresponds to his home address. Cowboys compete for points throughout the year and points earned within his circuit are applied toward the standings of his respective circuit. Each circuit’s top cowboys in each event qualify for that circuit’s “Finals” at the end of the season. The RAM National Circuit Finals Rodeo follows all 12 circuit finals.

Junior Rodeo
Don’t wait ‘til you grow up to be a cowboy or cowgirl ✱ Friends and Family ✱ Horses and Cattle ✱ Practice and Competition ✱ Winning and Losing All are elements of one of this country’s oldest traditions ... RODEO. It is a tradition that not only rewards but teaches individuals the responsibility of self discipline and hard, yet fun, work. The afternoons of practice, the daily responsibility of animal chores, the weekend traveling to rodeos, and the opportunities they foresee is what lures our young cowboys and cowgirls to join the wonderful world of Junior Rodeo. Divisions
include Pre Pee Wee (2-5 yrs); Pee Wee (6-10 yrs); Junior (11-13); and Senior (14-19 yrs). Requirements of scholastic eligibility and standards of sportsmanship are required for them to join their local junior or high school rodeo team in the area they live and ride. Contestants compete in age appropriate events including bull riding, bareback and saddle bronc riding, barrel racing, pole bending, goat tying, break away roping, calf roping, team roping, chute dogging, and ribbon roping at eight sanctioned rodeos across Arizona: Casa Grande, Gilbert, Buckeye, Wickenburg, Prescott, Williams, Cottonwood and Kingman. State Junior Rodeo Championship top finalists then compete for the coveted national titles and associated college scholarships. Because of the varied “lessons-in-life” rodeo participants learn, it is no wonder many parents and their youth have found Junior Rodeo a beneficial investment of their time, money, and efforts.

Who Was Jack Daniel? The character of Jack Daniel’s, the whiskey with the iconic black-andwhite label on the equally iconic square bottle, is bound up in the character of Jack Daniel, the brand’s founder and first master distiller. The Jack Daniel’s website suggests its founder Jasper Newton “Jack” Daniel was born in 1850 (the date on his tombstone); the Tennessee state library website lists his birthdate as Sept. 5, 1846; and in a 2004 biography, author Peter Krass says he was born in January 1849. Whatever his actual birthdate, his parents were Calaway and Lucinda Cook Daniel and he was of Welsh, Scottish, English and Scots-Irish descent. Jack ran away from home after his father died and was taken in by a
local lay preacher and moonshine distiller named Dan Call and he began learning the distilling trade. In 1875, after receiving an inheritance from his father’s estate, Jack founded a legally registered distilling business with Call. He took over the whole thing shortly afterward when Call quit for religious reasons. In 1884 Jack purchased the hollow and land where the distillery is now located. A physically small man only 5 feet 2 inches tall, Jack Daniel devoted his time to the ideal of making a whiskey that, thanks to charcoal filtering and other factors, he could be proud to sell at a premium price. He wanted his whiskey to be special so he used only the iron-free cave spring water on his property, along with the finest
grains, filtering it through ten feet of sugar maple charcoal. Jack Daniel never married and did not have any children. However, he took his nephews under his wing – one of whom was Lemuel “Lem” Motlow, who was skilled with numbers and was soon doing all the distillery’s bookkeeping. In 1907, due to failing health, Jack gave the distillery to Lem and another nephew. Lem soon bought out his partner and operated the distillery for about 40 years. Jack died in 1911. For July 4, 2011, Jack Daniel’s launched a media blitz to celebrate the independent American spirit. A poster from that campaign reads, “56 men signed the Declaration of Independence, one man put it in a bottle.”
