R

ecords are made to be broken and the 2009 Wrangler National Finals Rodeo had plenty of those, not to mention a huge feat by the current and remaining All-Around World Champion, Trevor Brazile who tied Ty Murray’s record of seven PRCA AllAround world championships!

Round 10 wrapped up the 51st Wrangler National Finals Rodeo in grand style. More than 17-thousand fans witnessed the finale first hand at the Thomas and Mack Center in Las Vegas, Nevada, while thousands

more watched the ESPN coverage of the event all across the country. Least to say, the final round was full of all types of excitement and feats. No doubt, the drama was high with every nod of the head, swing of a rope and sound of running hooves as 2009 World Champions were made.

Topping the list was of course Trevor Brazile who is now tied with Dean Oliver and Charmayne James for third place on the all-time list with 11 career gold buckles. He earned two this year, winning the 2009 All-Around buckle as well as this years tie-down Roping buckle. Brazile finished the year with $346,779 to his credit. Josh Peek won the Wrangler NFR’s All-Around title after earning $113,802 in Las Vegas. He finished with $245,068 in earned cash.

As the events unfolded, it was bareback rider Bobby Mote who topped his tenth round horse with a 87.5 point ride to not only win the round, but earn his third gold buckle in the event. Mote set a bareback riding single-season earnings record with $310,219 in earned cash.

Drama impacted the steer wrestling event as two-time World Champion Luke Branquinho lost his grip on his final-round steer while throwing it to the ground. A questionable call of a no-time took away his hopes of a third gold buckle. Lee Graves was on his game throughout the ten rounds and clinched his second world with a single-season earnings record of $251,031.

Perhaps one of the closest races of the

week came down to several teams battling it out in the team roping event. Five-teams had a realistic shot at the Gold Buckle prior to the tenth round. When the dust settled, the WNFR rookie team of Nick Sartain and Kollin VonAhn clinched the Wrangler NFR average and team roping world titles after three of the other four teams in contention continued on page 4

Competitorial S

o, as 2009 winds to a close I have to say that it was all and all a pretty good one. Sure, the economy could have been better…but then…it could have been worse.

I received an email from a friend of mine a couple days ago that pretty much summed it up. If you have food to eat, a roof over your head and clothes on your back, you are richer than 80% of the people in world….so things are pretty good. As this issue finds you during the holiday season, let me just wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and a prosperous 2010.

What about that NFR? I know there was plenty of talk about how the economy has hit the PRCA pretty hard, but It was hard to tell from the product the PRCA put forth at this year’s NFR. Not unlike the tremendous product the USTRC put forth at its recent NFTR in the midst of a suffering economy, this year’s NFR was as good as any I’ve seen. Top quality rodeo is just good to experience and there is nothing that comes close to the quality of the NFR and the job the PRCA does in bringing the production to light.

As always there were things I wish were different, but it’s hard to find much fault in the overall product. As for the outcome, every year it seems there is a race for the world title that captures your attention. For me, I was pulling for Taos Muncy to bring home the gold buckle in the bronc riding….Dang!

Of course you can’t help but acknowledge that the changing of the guard is now complete in the team roping.

The old wolves were all but absent at this year’s event with just occasional references to a generation past of team ropers that forever changed the way all of us rope. I missed seeing them out there this year…but time rolls on.

And so it comes to this……..

For the past week or so, I’ve been dreading this part of it. Trying to find a way to adequately pen some final thoughts on Mr. Booger Barter who took his own life on December 8. First off, I think it necessary to qualify some things. Booger and I were not close friends, and as such I would not presume to draw any inferences or make any personal comments about him from that kind of perspective. Also, I’ve previously noted in this column, my utter disdain

regarding the pretentious change in view of someone deceased, based purely on the fact that someone wants to appear grieved in some way or other. Basically, I think if you’re a jackass when you’re alive..… well……

Prefaces aside, I knew Booger Barter NOT to be a jackass. Certainly there were times when I found him to be pretty stubborn, but I’m sure he found me to be the same way now and again. The truth of the matter is Booger Barter played an integral part in bringing the sport of team roping from the dark ages to where it is today. I will say without hesitation that he is well within the top five most influential people the sport of team roping has ever known. Moreover, the legacy he leaves behind with regards to the sport will long outlive us all.

Booger combined the flare of three-ring circus leader with a thorough understanding of promotion, to bring about a new style and approach to team roping production that was often copied, but never duplicated. I personally think he had the most complete understanding of how to produce a successful team roping event, of anyone before him, or since. His “prize roping” concept was truly revolutionary in the sport and his execution of it was nothing short of brazenly bold.

In a sport where producers are afraid to even wiggle outside the established production mold, Booger broke the mold altogether with the determination of a pit bull, the energy of a kangaroo on Red Bull and an unshakable belief that he would be successful. And you know what?….he was!

I think it was his complete commitment to the concept that set him apart from the others and brought the famous “Booger Barter Productions” success for so many years. Oh, and let’s not forget the other important ingredient….It was simple! ….Show up, enter ‘til you’re broke, and ROPE!... It doesn’t get much simpler than that!

But make no mistake, the good natured, broad-grinned Booger Barter, ran his production and his business with cunning savvy and without apology. There are more than a couple of stories of ropers challenging his authority at events. They were promptly showed the gate, and if they

were lucky, they were able to drive off without an ass-wuppin’…. one of a kind.

Perhaps the most cunning publicity move EVER in the sport was when an up-andcoming, Booger Barter, out manipulated the great manipulator himself…and a notable example of Booger’s promotional expertise. You see, when most of us across the country had never even heard of Booger Barter or Booger Barter Productions, the crafty Booger Barter was able to “goad” Denny Gentry, into a national debate in the pages of SuperLooper Magazine. Almost overnight, every roper in the country became familiar with Booger and his productions as a direct result of all the pages Denny dedicated to responding to Booger’s disparaging remarks about the USTRC. Surely, no one but Booger knew what was happening, as month after month Denny would spew paragraph after paragraph of carefully crafted explanations as to how the USTRC was better for ropers than those shoddy-assed, Booger Barter, “truck ropings.” Eventually the feud would die down between the two roping production moguls…but the winner was definitely Booger. He couldn’t have gotten that kind of publicity if he had owned his own roping magazine.

But Denny Gentry was not the only roping producer to go up against Booger.

Many came along to claim a piece of the “truck roping” pie over the years. Some were smart enough to step wide of the flamboyant, Texan, while others tried to take him head on. I can recall, when on more than one occasion, a producer would attempt to stage a “truck roping” within what Booger considered his “staked out territory” with regards to location and date.

They would advertise a truck to be given away and Booger would change his production to give away three trucks. If they were to give away two trucks, Booger would give away six! No producer who wanted to stay in the business for long went head to head with Booger.

Ropers for the most part loved him…he provided what they wanted. Sure, there were some detractors over the years… ropers obsessed with the amount of money Booger made at successful events…but it was those successes that allowed him to

absorbed the losses. Once in a conversation, Booger told me he was proud of the fact that no team roping producer in the world had ever made more money at a one-day roping as him. He then quickly pointed out that there was no producer in the world who had lost more in one day either. “Just have more good ones than bad ones”…it was that simple to Booger.

No doubt about it, Booger Barter and his Texas swagger will be missed….not just by me…but by a lot of us. Every time we drive down the highway and see one of those “Booger Barter Productions” pickups, dragging a horse trailer to a roping somewhere…. we’ll think of you , Booger….God bless you.

Jesse Kruse held his saddle bronc riding standing lead to the end.

Although he only topped 8 of his ten broncs, he held off the other bronc riders, earning him his first World Championship.

Team ropers and rookie WNFR contestants Nick Sartain (right) and Collin VonAhn (above) earned their life-long dreams by winning their first World Championships. They roped solid to win the Average with a time of 59.2 on 10 head and claim the championship.

Laughlin Team Roping Championships

T

he Laughlin Team Roping Finals held in Fort Mohave, Arizona at the Mojave Crossing Events Center is always a great kick off to the new USTRC team roping season. It was no different this year as team ropers came to enjoy the resort style team roping action in the desert of Arizona.

Ropers from as far away as Arkansas and Indiana came to enjoy the great guaranteed payout and prizes.

Professional team roper Jade Corkill made the trip from Fallon, Nevada and he was certainly glad he did. The 22-year-old heeler teamed up with World Champion header Matt Sherwood to win the Average of the Open Division. The duo caught four steers in 26.87 seconds to accomplish the task and take home the $10,000 paycheck along with trophy tooled saddle pads.

Corkill was not done, however, as he teamed up with Zayne Dishion in the #15.

The pair caught their four steers in 28.39

seconds and claimed second place in the Average. The victory put $3,720 in their pockets along with a USTRC National Finals Shoot-Out worth $6,000 in USTRC Flex Earnings.

Another youngster and up and coming star also enjoyed some success at the team roping battle in the desert. Austin Carter from Las Vegas, Nevada took home more than $7,800 in cash for his efforts.

“I haven’t been to this roping in a few years because I have been Little Britches Rodeoing,” said Cater. “I am really glad we went this year. It was a good roping and I really enjoyed it.”

Cater got his start team roping at a young age and has had a lot of help with his roping along the way.

“My dad used to ride bucking horses and my stepmom was a rodeo queen. They got married when I was six years old and I started roping then,” said Carter. “Mostly

my Mom and Dad helped me to rope but I have really had several people help me out along the way. I just love to rope and that is that.”

Carter teamed up with Chet Pulsipher to win the Average of the #11 Division. The pair caught four steers in 31.17 seconds and took home trophy Martin saddles, $10,000 and a USTRC National Shoot-Out worth $6,000 in USTRC Flex Earnings.

“We have roped together a few times and we usually do some good,” said Carter. “We were the high team and I usually pressure up, but this time I was just thinking to myself not to safety up and take my first shot. That is what my dad told me and it worked out for the best.”

Fourteen-year-old Carter also teamed up with young Cache Burnside to win second place in the Average of the #9 Division. The pair caught four steers in 44.34 seconds and earned $4,580, trophy Gist buckles and a

USTRC National Shoot-Out worth $6,000 in USTRC Flex Earnings.

“Cache and I rope together a lot,” added Carter. “His family puts on ropings and so we get to rope all the time.”

Carter has his sights set on roping again at the USTRC National Finals of Team Roping next October.

“I went this year and did some good and I am going back next year,” said Carter.

“This time my whole family is going, so it will be even better. I am excited that I already have some Shoot-Outs.”

No doubt the Laughlin Team Roping Finals was a great way to kick the USTRC 2010 season into gear. The guaranteed payout and the great team roping competition made for a great event. The state of the art facility also added to the hype of the event. If you missed out this year, you won’t want to next year.

T

he 2009 rodeo season wrapped up in Arizona with the GCPRA Finals Championship Rodeo. The amateur association has become one of the best in the country attracting rodeo contestants from all across the Southwest. The associations commitment to the sport and their relations with cowboys and cowgirls, as well as other associations that they cosanction events with throughout the year continue to make the GCPRA a success.

The 2009 GCPRA season was full of excitement as the top contestants battled it out inside arenas all across the Southwest for the past 12 months. The season wrapped up at the Gilbert Rodeo Park in Gilbert, Arizona on November 20-22 as the GCPRA hosted their state finals event.

Thousands of dollars were up for grabs in each event, as well as the titles of 2009 GCPRA Champions, making it one of the biggest and best rodeos in Arizona.

There is no doubt it takes a lot of dedication to become a GCPRA champion.

Hours of practice, miles driven to and from rodeos each and every weekend, as well as

a lot of money dropped into the fuel tank, for horse flesh and equipment makes championship at the end worth a whole lot more than a new saddle or a shiny new buckle. A GCPRA State Championship honors those who are the best giving them a chance to be recognized for their hard work and determination. For those who rose to the occasion this year, congratulations!

Throughout the year, the GCPRA offered rough stock competitors a chance to bet on the side so to speak with the 2009 Six-Pack Rodeo Series.

Just a handful of rodeo were offered to take part in this series of events where cowboys in the bareback riding, saddle bronc riding and bull riding rode for a chance to be crowned this years SixPack Rodeo champions.

GCPRA Finals The GCPRA Finals crowned more than just this year’s top year-end cowboys and cowgirls, the rodeo itself gave way to Average champions in every event. As one of the largest amateur rodeos in the Southwest, where the top fifteen of the best compete head to head, winning the Average can be quite an accomplishment. The silver Tres Rios buckle awarded to this years Average event champions of the GCPRA Finals can offer a sense of awe and open the door for many to jump into the new season with a big win under their belt.

No doubt the $2,000 in added money to every event at the rodeo helped boost the competition this year.

As did the three days of action. This years hottest rodeo hands rose to the top and earned a championship worth bragging about.

For some reason or another, I plan to reach today, tomorrow, or tradition gets people into this mode at the maybe within the next 30 days or so. first of each New Year. I personally believe Short term goals are the basics. Things that goal setting should be a far more like “I will have a positive attitude today” regular occurrence. I go over my own and “I will rope the roping dummy goals on pretty much a daily basis. As part correctly 10 times this morning” are of my morning routine, I go over my short, examples. Short term goals are the little mid, and long term goals. By going over details in life, the fundamentals, or the my goals on a daily basis, I keep a fresh building blocks that you need to lay before mental image of them in my mind. I getting bigger. Short terms goals such as “I believe that it is very important for a will enroll in education classes today” or “I person to have such goals in life, for will take a lesson from a pro today” are without them, you will just wander things that we must do before going on to aimlessly through life or just be in a ho our larger goals. hum existence.

that each day there is a new step to take.

No matter where you may be at in your goal reaching process, the basics still apply each and every day. World champion ropers still go out and rope the dummy correctly so many times each day, and people who are successful in life are constantly reapplying the basics over and over.

Striving to be the best that you can be at each and every aspect of your life that will happen that day is a great short term goal to apply.

Mid term goals are goals that I have for the next few weeks or maybe even for the next year depending upon the size of each particular goal. Mid term goals are things that don’t happen overnight, but they are important in reaching the overall long term goal. Things like “I will get my (fill in the blank) certification this year” or “I will win 5 belt buckles this year” are examples of mid term goals. They are things that cannot be accomplished in one or two days, but they are not your biggest dreams of what you plan to accomplish either. Mid term goals are as equally important as short term goals in eventually accomplishing your long term goals. Mid term goals are just bigger pieces of the puzzle, but they are still just pieces none the less. Without the appropriate pieces, the overall puzzle, big picture, long term goal or what have you cannot be completed.

Taking yourself to the next level at whatever you are doing is a great mid-term goal to have.

Long term goals are usually the ending point of a certain goal. They are where you want to eventually end up before going on to the next phase in your life. They may be a year out, or maybe 10 years out or more.

Long term goals should not be small in my opinion. Things like “I will win a worlds championship” or “I will pay off this ranch” or “I will have a net worth of 20 million” are examples of long term goals.

Long term goals can be tricky. They should be big, but should also be attainable.

Remember that you can always adjust upward with your goals as you have completed or reached certain levels. You should always dream big and have lofty goals in mind, but don’t set them so high in the beginning that they seem unattainable or unbelievable to you for where you are at in life. Doing this may just be setting yourself up for disappointment. Remember that you cannot reach the goal of being a multi millionaire without first reaching the goal of making one hundred thousand dollars and so on.

Long term goals are meant to be big, to be all that you have ever dreamed of, but don’t forget that along the way there are other goals that need to be reached first. I don’t think that there is anything wrong with “shooting for the stars”, actually I encourage it, but remember to aim at something a little closer first (and enjoy

each step or accomplishment along the way).

Some people get caught up in just thinking about the long term goals, or thinking about their biggest dreams. Most of these people would be referred to as “dreamers”; I don’t think that there is anything wrong with being a “dreamer”. I have been one myself for most of my life.

“Thinking Big” was never a problem for me, but I didn’t have a good solid plan on how I was going to get there. It was only after I realized that I need to build the steps along the way that I started to realize that my long term goals were easily attainable.

As I learned to enjoy the moment, and enjoy reaching shorter terms goals, my long term goals became easier to reach also. At that point, I had to readjust my long term goals to loftier heights to keep pushing myself onward and upward.

On the other end of the spectrum are the folks who are so focused on short term goals or little details, that they lose sight of the whole big picture. We’ve all heard the saying “he can’t see the forest for the trees”. It is this type of person who, (in my opinion) needs to quit focusing so much on the small stuff and learn to dream bigger, or set long term goals and to learn to believe in them also. I am a firm believer in “what the mind expects, the mind will get”. While it is all well and good to do the short term goals well, you need to have a balance of mid and long term goals also or your mind will never open up and think big. Just as a dreamer needs to learn to put that first step forward, the guy who “can’t see the forest for the trees” needs to learn to step back and get a hold of the big picture also. We all have personalities that automatically put us at different points on the spectrum between being a dreamer and being a detail guy, but as long as we are honest with ourselves about our strengths and weaknesses, and don’t mind a little change, we can all become successful at reaching all of our life’s goals.

As I mentioned in the beginning, I believe that goals are important for us all to have. For the person who has no goal, no aim, or no focus in life, is just coasting along. That is the person who wakes up one day and says to themself; “Where did my life go?” “What did I do with my life?”

“Have I even accomplished one thing to be proud of or to be remembered for?” But even for this person, it is not too late, no matter how many yesterdays that you have under your belt, today is always a new day and tomorrow is always ahead of you. It is never too late to start improving yourself and your life.

So as you read this article, and you have been thinking about some new goals for the first part of the year, or you have made some “New Years resolutions”, make one that will last. Make a resolution or a goal that you will accomplish (fill in the blank), and then figure out how you are going to get there from here. Find your short, mid, and long term steps or goals that it is going to take to accomplish your desired end result. Then don’t forget to go over that plan in your mind on a daily or at least a weekly basis. Build a strong mental image of your goal, and keep it fresh in your mind. And then don’t be afraid to work hard and adjust as necessary along the way. Remember to whole heartedly believe in yourself and your goals, and I am confident that you will reach them!

2010 Roping is Guaranteed to The Best Yet!

Mike Cervi Memorial Pro Classic Roping

I

t’s been a roping that has it all: the promise of big payouts, the history of the Tucson Rodeo Arena, the allure of great weather. It is no wonder that for the past 27 years, the Mike Cervi Memorial Pro Classic Roping has been a popular event for top pros and talented amateurs alike. Held in conjunction with the famous Fiesta de los Vaqueros Tucson Rodeo in February, the roping started in 1982 as the Tubac Pro Roping, a winner take all jackpot during the Rodeo’s off day. It’s success took off immediately, and soon, Producer George Aros was invited by the Rodeo Committee to move the event to the Tucson Arena where it became the Aros Pro Roping. In 2002 it was renamed to honor roper Mike Cervi Jr. of Marana AZ who was killed in a plane crash.

As the ropings popularity increased, so did the pots, thus enticing even more cowboys every year from across America, Canada and Mexico. Sometimes though, you can get too much of a good thing.

After entries soared to 178 teams in 2007, Aros was forced to narrow the field to 100 teams. “It takes a long time to run 178 teams,” said Aros, “and the Tucson Rodeo Arena doesn’t have lights.” Aros added that when the competition ran until dark, not only was it pretty tough to rope a steer, but the Rodeo grounds crew had a lot to do to get everything ready for the next day’s performance. The roping had grown too big

to be manageable at the venue, so the decision was made to limit the competition.

“A shorter roping works better for spectators too, “ said Aros. “By limiting it to the top 100 teams, you get a great quality roping with lots of excitement for the fans. It works for everyone.”

The following year, Aros added a qualifier the day before to whittle down the teams, but he felt the formats used in 2008 and 2009 could still be improved upon. For 2010, Aros has a formula that won’t disappoint. A World Series style qualifier will be held Tuesday, February 23 after slack at the Western Heritage Arena in Marana. Ropers will rope four head, with elimination after one, for $150 per roper, entering twice. After 3 rounds, the fastest team goes first in the final, second fastest goes second, and so on. The fastest total time after 4 steers is the winner, and the top 100 teams qualify for the Cervi Roping held at the Tucson Rodeo Grounds Wednesday February 24, beginning at noon.

The qualifier is no slouch, because by following the immensely successful World Series format, it will pay 80% of entry fees, and pay one money for every 20 entries. With 200 teams expected, that could mean a $5,000 payday per man for the winners, and checks going to another nine teams in the Average. Additionally, the teams will be roping the steers that will be

Booger Barter Legendary Producer Passes Away

T

he rodeo world lost one of its greatest producers and friends with the passing of Bobby “Booger” Barter on December 8, 2009 at his home in Athens, Texas.

One of the most innovative producers in the roping and barrel racing industries, Booger did everything on a grand scale. With his truck ropings and barrel racings, Booger put some of the most beautiful prizes and largest checks in the hands of the barrel racing and team roping populace.

Sadly, some of the greatest barrel racing and team roping events will pass on into legend with this great man. A man of great stature in body and spirit, Booger Barter will be deeply missed by all who know him and had the privilege of entering one of his great events.

All of his events have been cancelled, and World Barrel Racing and World Team Roping have ceased to exist as of December 8, 2009. Please give Booger’s family time to mourn their loss. All financial responsibilities for those events and WBR memberships will be taken care of in due course.

in the Cervi Roping. “This gives the guys a chance at a big payoff, plus an idea of how the steers are going to run for the next day,” said Aros. With four steers and an elimination format, this qualifier offers a great opportunity for everyone, from the best pros to the weekend ropers, to make

the cut. The format can also set up for some dramatic runs and some shrewdly calculated strategies, making it exciting and fun for the competitors and spectators alike.

The headliner event on Wednesday will go back to the popular $500 a man entry fee, enter twice format. The teams will be chasing a big purse once again on two full rounds. Thanks to great promotion

by Cervi’s father-in-law, Mel Potter, sponsors have generously lined up to support the roping. That support of both cash and prizes allows close to 100% of entry fees to be paid back. In addition to cash, prizes include Running P Saddles, Gordy Alderson bits, Gist buckles, boots from Justin, rope bags and a variety of gift certificates.

The other big winner every year at the Mike Cervi Memorial Pro Classic has been the Justin Crisis fund. Over the years, with 10% of proceeds going to the fund, the roping has contributed close to $100,000 to assist professional rodeo athletes and their families in the event of catastrophic injuries.

Winning the Mike Cervi Memorial Pro Classic has been a dream of many cowboys over the years. Now with two chances to win huge payouts, a talented field will be chasing that dream in February, making the 2010 roping one of the best yet.

Mike Wolf

M

uch sadness was felt at the announcement of the passing of Michael R. Wolf, 56, on December 1, 2009, in San Antonio, Texas. Mike was born on March 13, 1953 in Phoenix, Arizona to Roger and Mildred (Hardin) Wolf, who preceded him in death. His survivors are wife, Ofelia Wolf; children, Michelle Del Wolf Quigley, Megan Mescal Wolf, George Wolf, Ernesto & Christy Valenzuela, Ruben & Vanessa Valenzuela Muro, and Veronica Valenzuela, and brother Gregory Scott Wolf. Grandchildren include: Rhett, Kiana & Braun Quigley, Kaya Mescal Sharp, Diego, Mateo and Anabel Valenzuela.

Mike was a veteran in the cattle business. He traded cattle on the Mexican border for the last 25 years, as well as pastured cattle on ranches throughout New Mexico, Colorado and Arizona. He pastured cattle with partner Jim Bramwell in Pagosa Springs, Chromo and Chama for 15 years. No matter how good or bad the situation, his sense of humor always brought laughs to everyone around him. He took great pride in his business and was a man of his word.

Mike was also a very avid team roper and attended many USTRC ropings across the country. He loved to rope and was one who you could always find riding a good horse.

Mike was a lung transplant recipient and his case will be studied to further educate the transplant field of medicine.

2009 World Series Finale

I

t’s in the bag – That’s right, the 2009 World Series of team Roping Finale wrapped up the season in a big way.

Hundreds of team ropers made sure they earned or paid their way into this years World Series Finale for a chance to win big and it proved once again that the series format, finale venue and the big payouts at the event was a success!

The Finale played out in Las Vegas, Nevada at the South Point Equestrian Center over the course of December 8-12 while the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo was winding towards its finish as well.

The mixture of these two events, as well as the Thunder Equi-Games that encases the World Series Finale makes the week in Las Vegas a highlight for any roper.

Not only is Las Vegas appealing, but throw in the biggest rodeo of the year, and a chance to win hundreds of thousands of dollars in the World Series Finale, makes it heaven for any guy or gal that swings a rope.

The World Series no doubt captures the allure of greatness as ropers rope and fight for a chance to qualify throughout the year in order to capitalize big with a single win.

Not only does the format open the door for ropers to qualify, but anyone can lay down an entry fee for the chance as well, making it one of the largest team roping events of the year.

There is little doubt the event will continue to grow and flourish for many years. The format seems to be set and producers throughout the year continue to offer events that offer ropers their chance to win. You can bet the wide-spread phenomena known as the World Series of Team Roping will continue to be an attraction by many who dream of winning big!

World Series of Team Roping

Z

amora Roping Productions rolled into the Bernalillo County Sheriffs Posse Arena in Albuquerque, N.M. on November 14, 2009 to produce a one day World Series Qualifier presented by Wrangler.

Despite a cold front, a good turnout ran at more than $63,000 at the one day event.

The roping was doubled as the 2009 World Series Finale Warm up as well as the 2010 World Series season opener.

The no barrier system by Priefert was used to give ropers a look at how the system would work at the finale in Las Vegas.

Zamora Roping Productions would like to thank everyone who attended the event and look forward to seeing everyone down the road.

here is little doubt a whole lot of ropers made their way to the Mojave Crossing Event Center for the chance to win big at the Lucky 777 event. The annual event has become a staple during Arizona’s event season.

Ropers from all across the country headed to the event with big money on their mind and that is just what they found. A total of $174,000 plus prizes was handed out over three days.

Winners were showered throughout rounds, and the average of several great ropings that included some great formats. You can bet next years event will be better than ever as ropers continue to make this one of the biggest and best events of the season.

B Y R YA N D AV I S

elcome to my first of what I hope is many columns in The AllAround. I want to let everyone know that I aim to make this a short enjoyable piece of writing each month, and as for the title “Dirt,” well, I won’t be throwing it - too much, but it is more to reflect the arena floor where we all have an interest of some sort.

As this is the first installment, I would like to say – Happy New Year! I hope you all have a great 2010.

Now my job at Western Sports Publishing as Copy Editor allows me to read everything that goes into the publications we produce. I get early, first-hand knowledge of the news, who wins what and things that are publishable. However, there always seems to be more to stories, things that go un-said or at least un-published. I hope I can add some of these things to this column allowing you the reader a chance to see what I see at times.

Right now is an interesting time for the sport of team roping. The USTRC has just passed a historic mark with 20 years in existence and a remarkable National Finals.

And, I can say with first-hand knowledge

that this success stems from the tremendous focus by so many people who work with the USTRC and you can bet it will continue to grow for the next 20 years and on past that. Now, there are always some who are anti-USTRC and would probably enjoy seeing its demise. Here is a little note for that small group of people – It ain’t going to happen. The USTRC is the mainstay of the sport and the only solid foundation that has allowed the sport to continue to be successful.

With that said, I can say there is no other organization that can ever catch up to the USTRC. Their history has allowed them to acquire knowledge that is unmatched. Sure there are many team roping productions, but even the biggest and best must somewhat follow the guidelines, classifications and formats of the USTRC in order to be successful.

Now, there has been a little bit of a brewing going on concerning the historical data of the USTRC presented lately. We all know Denny Gentry was the founder of the association and I find it funny that he is the one voicing most of the concerns. Yes – the articles in SuperLooper Magazine did not mention his name, nor did it mention anyone’s name who played a part in the history of the association, including the current president, Kirk Bray. Now, I have to say both of these guys, along with many, many others have or are currently playing a

positive roll in the sport and have made it what it is today. But to harp on notoriety seems petty and the high road seems much smoother in this case.

Oh yeah, and as for Gentry’s comment on his website concerning the quote presented by John Findlay which read, “On January 1st of 1990, a group of ropers and contractors started off on what has got to be considered a historic venture. This group wanted to create a NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP where ropers from all over the United States could.......”

Well, after tracking it down, I found that exact quote straight out of the 1991 United States Team Roping Championships Program. Note – Gentry was in charge of the USTRC at that time.

Now I don’t want to start a battle, I just wanted to straighten out some of the lines that have become crooked, and I can see how things that happened almost 20 years ago can be forgotten or remembered differently. I believe Gentry has played an essential role in team roping and continues to do so in his own way. But I also have to say the USTRC has solidly held the reins for a long time and the success of the association has a lot to do with those who are currently involved.

Come back next month, I have a lot more to say.

Until Then – Good Luck!

Gold Card Member Hill Dies At Age 79

PRCA Signs Multi-Year Agreement With Pro Fantasy Rodeo

Arnold Hill, a gold card member who rode bulls when the PRCA was still known as the Cowboys’ Turtle Association, died Nov. 13 in Canadian, Texas. Hill started riding bulls at the age of 12, following in the footsteps of older brothers Clinton and Clayton Hill. His riding career took him through the short grass country of the Texas Panhandle and western Oklahoma. Arnold was an avid cowboy who also worked for the Beutler Brothers hauling the rodeo stock and working on the ranch in Elk City, Okla.

The family suggests memorial gifts be made to the Hemphill County Hospice, 1020 S. Fourth St., Canadian, TX 79014.

Lane Frost Documentary Selected For Digital Film Festival Producer/Director David Wittkower’s film about World Champion Bull Rider Lane Frost and the legendary bull Red Rock will be the Official Selection that kicked off the 2nd annual Digital Film Festival in Paso Robles, California on November 20-24, 2009.

The Challenge of Champions: The Story of Lane Frost and Red Rock is an 82-minute documentary film that covers the great duel between Frost and Red Rock.

As the Wrangler NFR has been sold out for more than 20 years, Pro Fantasy Rodeo is another method for fans to become a part of the event without physically being in Las Vegas.

The object of the game is to pick a team PRCA tie-down roper Spencer Miller, that will earn the most money during the 24, died Nov. 15 from injuries suffered Wrangler NFR. With a salary cap of when his Ford truck went off the road 19 miles east of Pueblo, Colo. Miller, a resident $550,000, players must recruit a team with a contestant from each event. Players can also of Calhan, Colo., was the son of Bill Miller, recruit multiple teams or become a Penrose Equestrian Center General Manager promotional partner and recruit other and a member of the Pikes Peak or Bust players. The promotional partner with the Rodeo committee in Colorado Springs. most teams will win a trip to the Wrangler NFR.

CFR to Remain In Edmonton Through 2016 Team Roping To Achieve Parity The Canadian Professional Rodeo Association has signed a three-year contract extension with Northlands that will keep the Canadian Finals Rodeo in Edmonton through 2016. CPRA President Dale Leschiutta also announced that team roping will have equal prize money in the CFR by 2014. That’s a significant step for an event that was not included in the CFR program until 2003. It was almost treated like a specialty act or an intermission fill-in, and the team ropers had to provide their own prize money. “It has come a long way,” Leschiutta told the Edmonton Sun. “It took a lot of work by a lot of people.”

ARIZONA JUNIOR ARIZONA HIGH SCHOOL RODEO ASSOCIATION RODEO ASSOCIATION Calendar of Events - 2010 January 9 - 10 – Buckeye, AZ EC – Dec 23, 2009 February 6 - 7 – Marana, Arizona EC – January 20 March 6 - 7 – Gilbert, AZ EC – February 17 April 17 - 18 – Wilcox, AZ EC – March 31 May 29 - 30 – Prescott, AZ EC – May 12 June TBA - AJRA Finals EC – June 1 This year the board voted on raffling off a side by side as a means to generate additional funds for our year end prize line. This awesome Artic Cat 700 XLS side by side.

All proceeds from this raffle will go towards funding our year end prize line.

Tickets are $10.00 each and every family (not member) will be required to sell 20 tickets in order to participate at the 2010 finals.

The drawing for this amazing prize will be held during the awards ceremony at our finals in June.Thanks to a few last minute calls, the AJRA was able to have the side by side displayed at the South Point during the NFR this year. Kendra and Preston Williams purchased additional space at their booth and graciously donated the room and offered to sell tickets for us. If you know the Williams, please take time to pay them a huge thank you! If you don’t, you could send then a thank you note to preston_kendra@hotmail.com.

I would like to let you all know that the Artic Cat ticket sales are going pretty good. I spoke with Kendra tonight and she said sales really picked up over the past few days.

We will be getting the Artic Cat back on Monday and have plans to start hauling it to various businesses and to each remaining rodeo between now and the finals in order to sell additional tickets.

This year, as an added incentive, the high ticket selling girl and boy will have their entry fees for the Prescott AJRA rodeo waved. That’s right, if you sell the most tickets, you can enter Prescott for free.

Additional y, if you are the second or third high selling girl or boy, your name will be added to a drawing for additional prizes.

Business Owners and Sponsors For as little as $200.00, the AJRA will add your business name or Logo to this unit. A $500.00 donation will ensure that you receive the largest possible Logo available. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to get your name added to this Artic Cat. (this unit will be traveling to all our rodeos between now and the finals, additional stops along the way will be made!!!) Make sure you get your name added early for maximum exposure.

Questions regarding ticket sales or advertisement, please contact Brian Keaveney @ 520-709-4729, John Jones @ 623-433-6406 or Marty Latta @ 520-429-2568 And...

Tickets will be available at our January rodeo in Buckeye for all AJRA members.

Please make sure you get them picked up.

The more you sell, the better our finals awards will be!

Just a reminder that the entries for our January Rodeo are due the 23rd of the month.

I wish you all a great Christmas and see you in the New Year!

NBHA AZ02 Connie Combs Clinic Race NBHA AZ02 hosted the Annual Connie Combs Barrel Racing Clinic Race in Buckeye Equestrian Center’s small covered arena on November 14, 2009. Several clinic participants who weren’t to worn out from the clinic were able to run their horses to see if any of the new skills that Connie tutored them on had stuck in their brains.

NFR Qualifier Melanie Southard stopped by the barrel race after delivering a horse to a buyer in the Phoenix area. After a detour to the big arena where they were having a Sheriff Posse rodeo, she was directed to the west end of the property.

Melanie saddled up, entered up then headed down the road with the first place check in the 1D for $367.00. Thanks to everyone who came by to see us!

Total riders for the evening were 71 with a payout of $2,061 and a progressive added money pot of $265. NBHA pays out 80%. Big Thanks to all who attended.

Gilbert Rodeo Days Arizona District 02 has participated in the Gilbert Rodeo Days Rodeo for several years running a barrel race on Thursday evening prior to the first go of the rodeo.

What a terrific turn out this year on November 19, 2009! The ground was perfect for the regulation pattern that was set up. With all the extra excitement including the carnival rides going on by the warm-up arena, there were a few horses who acted like they wanted to go on the rides rather than run barrels!

Talk about extras! Roughstock Photography, Reed Settle, PRCA ProRodeo Photographer from Ramona, California was on hand taking great pictures of the race and all the happenings in the arena. You can see your events pictures on Reed’s website at www.roughstockphotography.com. At the first barrel and down the back stretch, Quinn Green of Springerville, Arizona snapped pictures. You can contact Quinn at cowboynarizona@yahoo.com Thanks a bunch for being there for us!

Total riders for the evening were 152 with a payout of $4,673.00 and an added money pot of $200.00. NBHA pays out 80%. Big Thanks to all who attended. The Open winners were awarded beautiful buckles sponsored by the Gilbert Rodeo committee. The Youth and Senior winners were drawn from the hat. Each division winner was placed in the hat and the winner drawn from the four names!

Congratulations to Open winners Deanne Bain, Cortney Morris, Kellie Hunt, Heidi Pearson and Tammie Pete. The Youth buckle winner was Nicole Speeding and Senior winner was Alaska transplant Krikitt Smith.

NBHA – NM01 A huge thank you goes to David and Leanne Wolfe for their sponsorship of our last youth saddle. We are now looking at giving away 10 saddles and having over $15,000 added money at our district finals tht will take place March 12-14 in Farmington. This is only possible becasue of the “volunterism” of our members.

Robin Price, Mark Heath and Josh Carpenter do a fantasitc job in keeping our races running smoothly and there are always members and supporting family jumping in the arena to set fallen barrels, check the markers and help as needed. We truly have a wonderful set of barrel racers that ensure we all have a great time and make putting on barrel races our best money maker! Last month we helped the newly formed Bloomfield Rodeo Club earn over $600 and we wish them the best of luck this year under the leadership of their president, Samantha Martinez. We have one more race in December then will take a racing break until February 14th, when our 2010 season will begin. Be sure to check ot our web page at nmnbha.com for updates.

global warming front is that it has turned into a cold front.”

“What are you talking about?” demanded the President.

“The earth,” said the Energy Czar, “appears to be cooling off, not warming up.”

“WHAT?! That ruins everything. I’ve based my entire Presidency on the premise of global warming and now you’re telling me IT’S NOT HAPPENING! But Al Gore said in his slideshow of a movie that the earth was getting WARMER. Yes, I specifically remember him saying it was getting hotter, not colder. Does Al know about this?”

“No one seems to be able to find him sir.

He’s no longer a hot item. Probably because since his movie came out the earth has cooled three quarters of a degree.”

“Does this mean that Hollywood won’t be flooded with rising waters due to melting ice caps?” asked the President.

“Unfortunately, yes,” said the deflated Czar as disappointment filled the room.

“This ruins the entire paradigm of my Presidency. How can we kill off capitalism, make a religion out of environmentalism and save the world if the globe is cooling off?

This simply can’t be. And would someone please turn up the heat in here? It’s freezing!

Now, Mr. Energy Czar, what kind of proof do you have of this global cooling?”

“Actually, sir, the earth has been in a cooling trend for eleven years now according to global satellites that measure the mean average temperature of the earth. New York City had theINcoolest since 1958, Phoenix HOUSE June PROOF CRX’D had 15 days in June with temperatures below 100 degrees for the first time since 1913, and some areas in Mexico are getting snow for the 1\2 Horizontal first time in 100 years.” (10 x 6.6)

“Who cares a pinata about Mexico!” screamed the President. “I’m worried about my reelection if this news break out. Does anybody else know?”

“So far just a few scientists, but no one listens to them. The media is still under your spell but at some point we may have a problem. It’s hard to convince voters that the globe is heating up when they’re standing in a snow bank.”

“Now what do we do?” asked the visibly shaken President.

“This creates a huge opportunity for us,” said the Propaganda Czar. “We simply tell the American public that your policies have been so effective that we have been able to change the entire weather pattern of the globe after just one year in office.”

“Brilliant, I like it. And then we can start combatting global cooling. We’ll have to change tactics of course. instead of “Clash for Clunkers” we’ll have the “Payola for Prius” program to get them off the road. The car companies I run will have to switch back to producing gas guzzlers and we’ll have to subsidize cow burps.”

“But shouldn’t we wait a little closer to the next election to release the good news about global warming?” asked the Propaganda Czar. “That will give our financial patrons time to unwind their windmill investments and it will help get you reelected.”

“Great idea. In the meantime not a word of this to anyone. And would somebody please find Al Gore and tell him to get it right this time. Get him working on another slide show about global cooling or we might both have to give back our Nobel prizes.” www.LeePittsbooks.com

by Glenda Price January 2010 Stanley Garrison Cameron, Texas Philip: At a recent jackpot I watched as a team roped their steer and the heeler picked up a front foot in his loop. As the header turned and faced the steer, the flagger held the flag as the team continued to pull back until the front foot came free and then dropped the flag to stop the time. I told the flagger I felt the time should have stopped when the header faced and the ropes were tight and since the heeler had an illegal catch it should have been no time. Was I right?

Stanley: You were right!

If both ropers were facing each other with ropes dallied and tight at the same time, and the steers front leg was still in the heel loop, and the team continued to back then the flagger should have dropped the flag and flagged them out.

Here is a situation where I would have to know if both ropers were facing each other, both ropes dallied and tight, and all four feet of both horses were on the ground. If the header’s rope was not tight, then possibly the flagger held the flag until both ropes came tight. If both ropes were tight and the heeler continued to back, then this creates a humane issue where the steer should not have been subjected to excusive force. Hope this answered your question.

In Defense of the Mule

A

griculturists have known – and exploited – the phenomenon of hybrid vigor for at least a hundred years. A hybrid is the resultant offspring from the mating of two plants or animals of different breeds, varieties or species. The hybrid outperforms either parent, thus the term hybrid vigor.

Mules, the offspring of a mare and a male donkey (jack), are among the most famous hybrids and, like most hybrids, are sterile. A very few female mules can reproduce, but no males are fertile.

Hybrid vigor gives mules greater height and endurance than either parent, and their human admirers say mules have higher cognitive intelligence than either parent. Their fans also say mules are more patient, surefooted, hardy and long-lived than horses and are less obstinate, faster and more intelligent than donkeys.

During World War II, these animals, christened “long-eared soldiers,” proved invaluable, especially as pack animals supporting Allied forces fighting in mountainous terrain where mechanized vehicles were useless.

Mules are the unfortunate recipients of disparaging comments like “stubborn as a mule,” but experienced mule trainers point out that a mule will not let his rider put him in harm’s way. That kind of stubborn is…not bad.

The men who handled the mules during the war developed great respect for them.

The mules not only survived the heavy loads, heat, humidity, and noise of the battlefields, but were able to detect danger before their soldier handlers.

These intelligent, alert animals saw and

heard threats – enemy snipers, booby traps — before their human handlers. The soldiers also learned not to drink water if a mule refused it. The mule could smell it, and knew it was contaminated.

There is no question, however, that mules have their own definite personalities. We had one on the ranch when I was young we called Harvey. He was big and – supposedly – broke to ride. My brother and I decided to see if that was true one day. He acted just fine while we bridled and saddled him, but when I mounted up he trotted around the corral once, then ducked his head and kicked up his heels. Me, saddle and all tumbled off over his neck.

After we were properly dumped, Harvey shook himself out of the cinches, stomped the saddle a bit, and then calmly walked over to the water tank.

That’s when we learned about britchen straps. Mules have hardly any withers, so there isn’t anything to keep the saddle from sliding forward. The britchen strap goes from each side of the back of the saddle and around the mule’s rear to keep it from slipping forward. Some people use what’s called a crupper that fastens to the back of the saddle and loops under the mule’s tail.

Some rodeo folks learned about britchens like I did — the uncomfortable way. When they decided to have bareback mule riding as the opening event at the local punkin’ rollin’ show, it turned out more entertaining than they expected.

Every single bareback rider — and rigging — sailed off over his mule’s front end. Heck of a show.

Cowgirl U Offers Dynamic 2010 Lineup National Cowgirl Museum Educational Initiative Enters Fifth Year of Innovative Programming

T

he National Cowgirl Museum’s Cowgirl U enters its fifth year of providing one of the nation’s most distinctive educational programs when it begins its series of events in February at the thrilling San Antonio Livestock Show and Rodeo Launched in 2005, the Museum’s Cowgirl University has touched the lives of more than 300 alumni, mostly women, but also men, who desire to learn more about the “guts and grit” of the American West and the women who forged a path through art, literature, government and plain hard work.

“Cowgirl U events will offer the same opportunity to interact with current National Cowgirl Hall of Fame Honorees as they share their skills with students, ranging from trick riding to photography,” said Program Director Chad Isham. “The series has something to offer both women and men, as well as entire families, and focuses on the extraordinary heritage we all share through the history of the American West.”

Rodeo U: San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo, February 12, San Antonio, Texas Rodeo U hits the road in its 3rd year as it heads to the San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo and profiles Honoree Mary Nan West. She was the first female president of the San Antonio Livestock Exposition, the first woman to serve on the Texas Animal Health Commission, and the first woman chairman of the Texas A &M Board of Regents. Rodeo U gives you the insider’s

look on rodeo events and you’ll be treated like royalty by San Antonio Stock Show officials, with special private dining and the best seat in the house for an evening performance. Limited to 12.

Not Just a One Trick Pony, April 10, Cowtown Coliseum, Fort Worth, Texas You’ll know you’re in the presence of a true cowgirl when Cowgirl Hall of Fame Honoree Mitzi Lucas Riley shares her stories and techniques behind some of the best trick riding in the world. A daring rider, she routinely turned down offers from Hollywood, and performed in rodeos coast to coast for twenty years. She’ll be joined by the dynamic Cowgirl Chicks who will demonstrate the maneuvers that made them world famous. Limited to 20.

Equine Photography, May 15-16, Parker County, Texas Cowgirl U brings back popular instructor and Hall of Fame Honoree Barbara Van Cleve to its line-up of events as this awardwinning photographer joins you in Texas.

Barbara taught English Literature and Photography at DePaul University in Chicago, becoming the youngest Dean of Women in the U.S. She retired from teaching to pursue photography full-time and has gained international acclaim. www.barbaravancleve.com. Limited to 15.

Before the West: Eastern Roots, August 27-29, Sparta, New Jersey Cowgirl U heads East where many Honorees first called home before the lure

of the West drew them from their roots.

Profiling expert sharpshooter and Honoree Annie Oakley, who was born in Ohio and performed in nearby New York City with the Buffalo Bill Cody’s Wild West Show, Cowgirl U attendees will be able to bring their own horses to Cofrancesco Farms in Sparta, New Jersey, where AQHA world champion trainer and judge Jeffrey Pait and other instructors will provide lessons on recognizing good conformation, along with instruction on horsemanship and trail riding skills. Limited to 30.

Ranching 201, Sept 25, McFarland Ranch, Aledo, Texas By popular request, Cowgirl U is offering an advanced course for those participants completing Cowgirl 101 or Ranching 101. You will rely on the information you gained in the previous courses and the elements of grass identification and branding identification to apply to real-life ranching situations. Held at the McFarland Ranch in Aledo, Texas, this companion course will provide an opportunity for you to hone and enrich your skills further. Pam Minick, a 2000 Honoree and host of RFD TV’s The American Rancher, will speak to students at this course about her background as a champion roper and her advocacy for the Western lifestyle. Limited to 30.

Family Day: Cowgirl U and the Doss Heritage Center, Oct 2, Parker County, Texas

Enjoy a great day of learning for the whole family, starting with hot biscuits and coffee, followed by workshops on roping, branding and chuck wagon cooking. Both young and old will enjoy hearing and learning about Hall of Fame Honoree Cynthia Ann Parker. Your family will also take in the sites of one of Parker County’s historical ranches. Instruction will be in cooperation with the Doss Heritage and Cultural Center of Weatherford, Texas.

Limited to 40.

Enrollment is limited for each session and early registration is encouraged. To register, contact Chad Isham at chad@cowgirl.net or call 817.509.8969. To see the full lineup, go to cowgirlu.org.
