Competitorial L

ast month I laid down a challenge for the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (fresh off another great National Finals Rodeo) to get a strategy in place that will keep the sport of rodeo alive for the next generation… and to do it before it’s too late. I got a lot of feedback as a result… all of it in agreement. This month I’m aiming my sights a little closer to home… so listen up!

Okay… so a quick show of hands… How many people believe that the sport of rodeo is an integral part of the heritage of the Southwest?

How many want to see that heritage continue?

How many of you with your hand still up are willing to do something about it?

I would imagine a good number of you have your hand up right now... so let me relieve some of you. How many of you compete, or have competed, as a rough stock contestant in the past ten years?

No doubt a lot of you put your hand down… don’t worry, you’re not off the hook, just letting you rest your arm. But for those of you that still have your hand up… KEEP IT UP… because this is for you.

Last weekend I spent the day at the annual convention of the New Mexico Rodeo Association. From what I hear from other associations in the region CPRA, GCPRA, TCRA, etc., what I experienced is pretty common among them all.

THE

As the various committee representatives, stock contractors, rodeo secretaries, and vendors from around the region found their seats, and the NMRA leadership formed up along the head table in front of everyone, there was a notable absence… hey, hey… keep your hand up… I see you trying to slink away…

That absence was YOU! Not one rough stock director was in attendance. In fact, several of those positions can’t even be filled. Do you see a problem? …

Well, I do… and so did everyone else in attendance.

First off, let me defend those who WERE there and the NMRA itself… and by the way… this isn’t a lecture just for those who compete in the NMRA. For those “roughy’s” in the TCRA, CPRA and GCPRA… this goes for you too.

These associations cannot function without you. Without you, rodeo on the local level will die. THAT, is a fact. Do you know what you call a rodeo without rough stock contestants? A ropin’, maybe a barrel race… but it’s damn sure not a rodeo, and more importantly, nobody is going pay to watch it.

So, there you sit now, with your arm starting to get heavy, and you’re beginning to grumble about how your local association is just a timed event association anyway . . . That’s a chickenshit excuse to do nothing. continued on page 74

New Years Spectacular!

T

he New Year kicked off big for rough stock cowboys across the Southwest.

For the past eighteen years the Baca Rodeo Company has been helped bring in the New Year with a bang and once again the Bares, Broncs and Bulls Spectacular did just that. Awesome bucking stock, large payouts and stunning feats from some of the toughest cowboys from across the country made for a great event.

McGee Park in Farmington, New Mexico was once again the host for the Bares, Bronc and Bulls Spectacular and like years past, the seats filled up with

Bareback Riding Action

enthusiastic, rodeo loving crowds from around the four-Corner’s area of the country. The two day event, January 4th and 5th was full of great bucking horse and bull riding action. Plenty of cowboys threw their hats into the arena to be part of the bareback and saddle bronc events, as well as the Open and Novice bull riding. Big scores rocked the house each night and the action was non-stop. From the colorful and highly-enjoyed opening ceremonies that included a Special Tribute to America to the last bull to twist from the chutes, the Bares, Broncs and Bulls Spectacular was once again the

Open Bull Riding

biggest event on dirt in the Southwest.

Stepping out of the shadows and claiming the championship of the bareback riding was White Cone, Arizon’a Earl Tsosie. He scored 81 points to win the event. Kyle Charlie claimed the runner-up position in the bareback riding with a 78 point ride.

Arizona seemed to be the hot state for championships as T.O. Yazzie from Kayenta, Arizona earned the win in the saddle bronc riding. Winning second place was Jeb Loney from Tularosa, New Mexico.

He scored 76 points.

Only one point separated the winners in the open bull riding. Brian Bitsui from Ganado, Arizona posted an 87 point ride to claim the championship. Right on his heels was Wyatt Betony of Tonalea, Arizona who topped his bull for 86 points and second place.

In the novice bull riding, Cory Hubbard, and Ganado, Arizona cowboy took home the championship with a 72 point ride. Local young bull rider, Adriano Long from nearby Bloomfield, New Mexico rode his novice bull for 68 points to win second place.

THE

Historical Team Roping/Rodeo Event Tops $6 Million

T

he Priefert World Series of Team Roping, started just seven years ago as a recreational diversion for cowboys during the National Finals Rodeo, has developed into the richest team roping/rodeo event in the world, and the fourth richest equine event in the world. The World Series Grand Finale VII, which finished on December 15th at South Point Equestrian and Events Center in Las Vegas, NV, paid out whopping $6,032,000 in cash and $300,000 in prizes. The payout for each division smashed all previous historical records for the sport. The Low Amateur #10 division paid $1.7 Million passing the previous record of $1.5 Million paid in the team roping of the National Finals Rodeo. This single division record breaker makes this the largest single division payoff in the history of rodeo or roping.

Las Vegas now proudly lays claim to two of the top five richest equine events in the world. Individually they are both impressive, but together the National Finals of Rodeo and World Series of Team Roping distribute $12 Million in prize money into the cowboy industry within a 10-day period. Twenty six hundred individual team ropers representing the United States, Canada, Mexico, Italy, Brazil and Australia competed for the record-breaking purses. The event each year brings thousands of family members and spectators to the Las Vegas strip.

Team Roping is the largest economical component of the recreational horse world producing over $60,000,000 in purses each year.

Excluding horse racing, the combined purses of the various team roping associations surpass all other horse events combined. The World Series of Team Roping Grand Finale has quickly become the richest and most prestigious showcase for the sport.

The event will return to South Point Casino Equestrian Center December 8th, 2013.

Cactus Saddlery #13 Pro-Am Finale - $1,440,000 Cash The team of Emilio Tarango of Van Horn, Texas and Robert Rubio, Odessa, Texas led this roping wire to wire winning with a very brisk 30.57 on four steers to bag $227,000 dollars. Tarango, the city worker from Van Horn, knew they were fast, “we couldn’t have picked four better steers if they let us pick our own. There were only two other teams that had clean times in the final 10, so I knew a good smooth run would do it for us.” Sure enough, an eight second run in the short round beat the second place team by a full second.

Emilio was right about this roping softening up at the end.

The 44th team in the short

ALL-AROUND

round roped their final steer in 6.96 and moved all the way to 15th. But the biggest move occurred when the 32th call back moved 23 positions to 9th place on a 7 second run.

Robert Rubio, the oil field man from Odessa was smiling at the payoff window already planning his return trip, “I qualified for next year a couple of weeks ago in Levelland, Texas. I think I will go ahead and enter right now!” Robert didn’t have any major plans for the money, “I think I will give my dad my house, and maybe buy a new one for me and my wife.”

THE

ALL-AROUND

Heel O Matic #11 Amateur Finale - $1,408,000 Cash One of the most unbelievable short rounds in memory was witnessed in the #11 Finale. As teams in the front faltered, teams in the back of the roping were patiently waiting. The last team in the short round moved from 44th to 20th, 41st moved to 15th, 28th moved to 11th, and Don Seifert and Fred Davis moved from 27th to 9th in the average, $30,000 better.

It looked like musical chairs as six teams missed and six teams legged in the final twenty teams.

In the final analysis the moves at the

front of the roping were the ones that really counted. Anna Gregory and Jamie Pohnert, both of Amarillo, Texas, made a very nice practice pen run of 8.31 in the fourth call back. When the second high call missed and the high call legged, the victory was theirs.

Anna Gregory is a 6th grade school teacher from Amarillo, Texas. Roping is a family recreation as her brother, husband and uncle were all entered at the Finale. In typical teacher fashion she was very cool about the win, “I was excited, but I think my husband John was more excited than I was. But I guess you can say we are party poopers, we packed the trailer, had a nice

19

dinner and then went to bed. But it did seem as if my heart was beating a little faster!”

Jamie Pohnert is a locomotive Engineer with BNSF, with a part time horse business. Jamie said he thought he handled the win well, then” I called my father and the emotions got the best of me.” Jamie feels like his father was instrumental in this win, “I have some really nice young horses, but have not had much success competing on them. My dad insisted that I go out and get a good one, and we looked all over before we found this horse. This was my first roping on him and everything just seemed to work.”

Jamie also mentioned how special it was to win with Anna, “they are great people and I consider them family”.

Bloomer Trailers #10 Lo-Am Finale - $1,738,000 Cash

Anna Gregory and Jamie Pohnert, of Amarillo, Texas were the #11 WSTR Fianle Champions

This was the big one, with largest cash prize ever paid out in the history of cowboy contests. The magnitude of that didn’t escape the winners after the fact.

Probably every roper in the top twenty was aware that this wasn’t just another championship roping and the pressure just destroyed this division. The short round was a total reshuffle, when twentyone teams roped a leg, and fourteen teams missed a steer.

Shane Boston, from Waxahachie, Texas is pretty well know in his part of the world as the owner of Southern Frac, a company that manufactures frac tanks, mud tanks and oil tanks. During the roping he told the interviewer that he was Speed Williams truck driver which was a little inside joke with good friend Speed continued on page 20

Fast Back Ropes #12 Finale - $1,446,000 Cash Just like the winners of the #13, the ultimate winners came into the short go round as number one in the aggregate and solidified their victory with an 8.22 on their final steer. Troy Shiozawa, Logandale, NV was working the horns for his partner Mike Steward, also of Logandale. Troy is a risk manager with Western States Contracting and was very proud that he got to rope with his best friend Mike, “he lives not far from me and we practice together and compete together.”

Mike Steward is a Superintendent with

Mel Clark Construction. Mike agreed with Troy, “It was great to win with him and really for working class guys to get to run at this kind of money is great. With us it’s all about family and friends and if you’re into that it just doesn’t get better than this.”

There was another similarity to the ProAm finale, as Troy and Mike watched only four teams in the top ten complete their runs without penalties. Nevertheless, three of those four had roped their short round steers with seven-second runs. They had to get the steer down in roughly 8.5, but Troy

said, “We don’t value the fourth steer anymore than the 1st. “They looked pretty casual as they roped the final steer and still had two tenths left over.

Last year’s 11 Champion header showed his win wasn’t a fluke as Q.B. Cobb and partner Mario Paolliello posted a 6.96 in the final round and moved from 31st to 9th in the aggregate. More important than the number of places they moved, they improved their financial position from $6,000 to $38,000.

who gives roping lessons to his son.

Shane said he was delighted to split the $237,000 with partner Weir. Shane felt that winning was a sign that his luck had changed. He and his wife had built a new house this year and six days before they were to move in, it burned to the ground.

Shane said, “The house was hit with several bolts of lightening in just an instant, but then that might have been good luck that we hadn’t moved in yet?”

The roping experience was emotional for Bobby Weir, a welder for Southern Frac, roping with his boss. Bobby said Shane had let him off for a week to practice for the Finale, “so I was embarrassed when I missed all my steers

ALL-AROUND

lucky night, I was winning at the tables too, it was strange.”

Shane and Bobby made a good run on the second call-back to hang on to the win. Certainly a side story of interest was the fact that the high-call team had just won the #9 incentive, Bob Felkins and Tombo Kaufman from Arizona. Although they missed a leg and ultimately slipped to 8th in the average, theirs was a great day. Actually there were three teams from the #9 incentive that drew very nice checks inside the top ten. These 9 teams were aided by the fact that the roping fell apart and as an example, in the top twenty, nine teams roped legs, and four teams missed.

Buff Douthitt An Interesting Life

Story and Photos Compliments of Jim Olson

Actor Buff Douthitt

by Gene Peach “I’ve had an interesting life,” states Santa Fe, New Mexico resident, Buff Douthitt. That is an understatement. He has been a rancher, cowboy, rodeo hand, trick roper, specialty act, Marine, entrepreneur, world traveler, model, movie wrangler and actor - to name a few. Most folk would be ecstatic to have experienced and seen half the things Buff has.

Born on a large ranch east of Roswell, New Mexico during 1924, Douthitt left home at the tender age of thirteen to find his place in life. He rode to Arizona where he worked for ranchers in the mountainous country northeast of Tucson as a burro hunter.

It seems the old-time miners let many burros go when they were done using them back around the turn of the last century.

They became prolific, and over time, were over-running the cow range. The ranchers hired young Buff to hunt them like wild game - since they were just as wild as the country in which they lived.

Douthitt says, “Everything in that country was straight up and down... and cactus everywhere...but it was a good country.”

After sneaking up on the burros at a

watering hole, he was to shoot them and then cut off part of their ear, so he could prove to his employers he’d been working and not just sight seeing. Buff says, “Things have changed a lot since then, those were different times.”

After about a year, he returned to New Mexico where none other than three-time world champion cowboy, Bob Crosby, took a liking to him and mentored him. Buff entered his first rodeo shortly thereafter at Carlsbad, New Mexico. From there, his life went into high-gear!

Under Crosby’s tutelage, the young cowboy excelled at the sport of rodeo. He mainly competed in the steer wrestling and calf roping events. By the time he was sixteen, he competed at Madison Square Garden - the worlds most prestigious rodeo of the day. In 1946, Buff was crowned the All Around Champion of the World! He had a long and storied rodeo career, winning or placing at most of the top venues back then.

Another interesting fact about Douthitt is he was also a trick roper and performed as a specialty act. He walked the high-wire while doing rope tricks!

As a young boy on the families ranch, he discovered he had a knack for balance.

There were three windmills in close proximity to each other there at the headquarters. One day, for no explicable reason, little Buff strung a rope between two of the mills and walked from one to the other. It shocked the cowboys below.

Buff says, “I don’t know why I did it. I don’t know how I did it. Somehow I just knew I could do it.”

Fast forward a few years and Buff performed for crowds all across the country, and eventually in other countries as well. He

walked the high wire (a taught wire about 100 feet in the air) and also the slack rope (a rope which bowed down to about five or ten feet off the ground with his weight). He did rope tricks while in the air. He also lays claim to being the only person who could climb a ladder on the wire.

It went like this: Buff would walk onto the wire with a ladder in his hands. Then he put the ladder on the wire and climb up.

All this was done due to his amazing sense of balance - he did not use a net except in the beginning! Another interesting fact was that he did all this while wearing his everyday cowboy boots, not special shoes like most wire walkers. He would also spin as many a five ropes at a time while balanced on the wire.

ALL-AROUND

Along with being a rancher, cowboy, rodeo hand, trick roper and specialty act as a young man, he was also a professional model. During the early ‘40s, while warming his horse up in the Madison Square Garden arena, a man kept watching Buff. The cowboys kept joshing him about that and the youngster was getting embarrassed. Finally the man called him over and asked if he would go with him - to talk about a business deal. Buff says, “I was just a big ol’ dumb kid. I didn’t know what to make of it.”

As it turns out, the man was John Harkrider who ran the biggest modeling agency in New York at the time. He needed a cowboy for a Seagrams shoot that very afternoon. Buff was still a little suspicious, but when the man started pulling hundreddollar bills out of his pocket, he decided to give it a try. He wound up modeling over the next ten years or so and became fast friends with Harkrider. “I modeled every year when I went back for the Garden (rodeo) and also during the garment season - which was about six weeks.” He modeled for Lee Rider jeans, Wheaties and Seagrams to name a few.

In between all of this, World War II sprang up and Buff spent three years as a Marine. He was an artillery gunner in the South Pacific. After rodeo, performing, going to war and modeling, this concluded the “younger part of life” and he stepped with gusto into the next phase.

Entrepreneurialism.

Buff and wife Jane started a business.

Based out of the Fort Worth, Texas area, they designed and built travel trailers and portable buildings of many kinds including one model which may have been the first commercially manufactured living quarters horse trailer. The portable building business was a boon for the Douthitts as they won contracts with governments and military all over the world for the construction of these fast install buildings.

It was a global business with over threethousand employees at one time.

Buff claims that of all the places he went in the world, Switzerland is his favorite foreign country. “The people are so congenial there. The present themselves very well - it’s kind of hard to explain, but once you’ve been around it - you know it.”

After twenty years of running this

Arizona Ropers Have New Hangout

A

rizona is a hotbed of team roping during the winter months. Any day of the week, ropers can find a place to compete, practice or just hang out with fellow team ropers. From sun up to sundown, ropers in the warm climate of Arizona’s winter months are offered more places to compete than any other time of the year in any other area of the country.

So many ropers enjoy this time of year in Arizona, it has become a booming opportunity for any local resident who can offer places to stay for both ropers and their horses be it rental homes with horse properties or RV camps that provide stalls, arenas and riding access.

This year, ropers have another place they can call home over the winter months. Rancho Rio in Wickenburg, Arizona is now open and offers a multiuse facility that will host equine events; an RV resort for visitors to spend the winter; and a trailhead for horseback rides through the scenic miles of the Hassayampa River bed.

This is the realized dream of Arizona roping producer Ty Yost who is a winter resident himself with his summers spent

in Montana. “I’ve been wanting to build a place like this my whole life,� said Ty Yost, a partner in the facility along with Ty Grantham and Bob Crosthwaite. “To build an arena and RV resort in Arizona has been a long time dream of mine.�

Located in Wickenburg, Arizona, Rancho Rio is in the heart of team roping country. In the month of December alone, there are a whopping sixty ropings scheduled in Wickenburg. There is one every day of the week and as many as three on some days! Although December is still early in the winter roping season in Arizona, the main ropings don’t really getting going until after the holidays. Yost and his partners are excited about their new facility and have big plans for future ropings and all sorts of other equine events in the coming months.

Although RV spaces are filling up, there is still room for more ropers and horse enthusiast who want to spend a little time in the team roping paradise of Arizona this winter. For information on RV spaces and stalling at Rancho Rio call Bob Crosthwaite (970) 629-0288.

T-n-T Action at Dynamite

D

ynamite Arena in Queen Creek, Arizona once again captured the New Year with a blowout team roping event. December 28-30 hosted three days of roping that ropers from far and wide enjoyed. Packed full of divisions for every caliber of roper, the weekend included 5 World Series of Team Roping events that paid out like slot machines, as well as several other roping to fill the gaps and allow ropers even more ways to fill their sack.

The World Series of team roping events included a #9, #10, #11, #12 and a #13. The weekend also hosted an Open event, #15 Handicap, a #10 and a Heavy Weight #8 ropings. In addition to the huge cash payouts in all of the events, there were great prizes up for grabs. The New Year’s event at Dynamite has become one of the hottest ropings in Arizona and this years production once again topped the charts. You can bet this event will continue to flourish and grow each and every year and will continue to attract ropers from all across the Southwest for many New Years to come. #9WSTR Qualifier 1.

National All Amateurs Team Roping

Adan Aranda – Winner of the F350 diesel, four-door dually at the National All Amateurs New Years Truck Roping!

New Year, New Truck!

It’s supposed to be like this. The New Year is supposed to start like this - and for team roper Adan Aranda, it did. Adan topped 700 entered teams at Dunn’s Arena on the first day of the year as the high-point winner with 16 points – he drove home in a brandnew F350 diesel four-door dually.

National All Amateurs has set the standard for amateur ropings with low entry fees, limited entries and large cash prizes. The No Wolves Allowed truck roping on January 1 was a #8 roping, capped at a #4 Elite.

Here’s what makes NAA truck ropings unique: the high cash payback ($5,400 for the average winners and it paid through 14th place), the forced draw-in (you can only pick two partners), and the limited entries (you can only pay for 6 runs).

“I was high call in the short round, and my partner roped a leg,” Adan said. “After the leg, it dropped me down to third in the average. I thought that probably put me out of winning the truck.”

Well, fortunately for Adan, the leg only dropped him to third in the average, which was worth 13 points.

His other callback in the short round with Daniel Nowlin placed him 13th in the average for another 3 points – putting his total at 16. That was enough for him to beat the average winners, who each had 15 points. By the skin of his teeth, Adan came out on top.

Unbeknownst at the time, eight of those horses were infected with the equine influenza virus.1 Within two months, those eight infected horses would spread the disease to 76,000 horses on 10,000 properties. Previously equine influenzafree, Australia was facing an epidemic.

How did it happen? A new online video, “Birth of an Outbreak,” available at outbreak-alert.com, provides the details. “Our goal is to help educate horse owners about the threats and consequences of equine diseases,” says April Knudson, DVM, equine specialist, Merial’s Large Animal Veterinary Complete Light Duty Services. “An eye-opening event like the Diesel Truck Maintenance one that occurred in Australia helps and Diagnostics people understand how quickly and easily Preventative Maintenance equine influenza can spread – and how Pre-purchase Inspections important it is to vaccinate their horses.”

The video uses maps to visually demonstrate the influenza outbreak, beginning with the arrival of the 13 horses 3700 Morris St. NE from Japan in early August 2007.

Albuquerque, NM 87111 Ultimately, the virus continued to spread, located on the NE corner of resulting in the widespread outbreak.

Morris & Comanche While horse owners might find that hard Hours: to believe, the video helps them M-F 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. understand how just a handful of infected

Under, 7-9 and 10-12 year-old divisions, Championship buckles will be given to winner in each division.

horses can rapidly lead to an outbreak, and how important it is to use a fast-acting vaccine like the European recombinant vaccine used to help make Australia equine influenza-free once again.

“Equine influenza spreads easily,” says Dr. Knudson. “A coughing horse may spread infected droplets as far as 50 yards. Combine that with the fact that a single horse infected with influenza can infect up to ten others, and it’s easy to see how the virus can become a problem very quickly,” she says. “Almost all unvaccinated horses exposed to equine influenza become infected, and unprotected foals may develop fatal viral pneumonia.”

Besides explaining the outbreak in easy-to-follow terms and graphics, the video also offers insights about vaccinations and tips to help keep horses protected. In addition to viewing the video on outbreak-alert.com, horse owners can also sign up to receive text and/or e-mail alerts when equine diseases have been reported in their areas. The service is free.

Purina Animal Nutrition Launches New Products to Help Horses Stay Hydrated and Support Joint Health Introducing science-backed supplements and forage products With more than 100 years of trusted science and dedication to animal nutrition, Purina Animal Nutrition is expanding its line of equine products to include three electrolyte supplements, a joint supplement and a hydration hay block product.

The supplements have been developed through a partnership with U.K. based Science Supplements to improve performance and health for a variety of horses. These products include • ElectroEase™ Electrolyte Supplement – Geared for performance horses with technology that helps maintain hydration without irritating the stomach, a common issue with other typically harsh electrolyte products on the market.

• ElectroEase™ Electrolyte Paste Supplement – Developed for use right after strenuous exercise, competition or traveling, or during prolonged exercise. Contains twice the electrolytes of most paste electrolytes.

• HydraSalt™ Salt Supplement – Provides

horses of all classes with the sodium needed in proportion to what is typically lost in sweat to help maintain proper hydration.

Convenient powder form with minty flavor to ensure strong and consistent intake.

• FreedomFlex™ Joint Health Product – Provides performance, hardworking and senior horses with premium grade types and levels of ingredients to support joints and mobility. A double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover research study shows the fast-acting ingredients can help produce results in as little as 14 days.

“After many formulations, trials and refinements, we found a way to deliver the boost necessary for horses to perform at their best,” said David Hoogmoed, executive vice president and chief operating officer, feed, Purina Animal Nutrition. “The technology and research from Science Supplements that is behind these supplements is the key factor that sets them apart from other products on the market.”

ElectroEase™ Electrolyte Supplement and HydraSalt™ Salt Supplement contain smooth MicroBead™ Technology, which encapsulates

each electrolyte granule and salt particle with oil, so they do not mix with gastric liquids.

The coating forms a barrier, making the electrolytes gentle on the stomach. Once the particles pass through the stomach, the oil coating is broken down in the small intestine, where electrolyte uptake is optimal.

In addition, while most electrolyte and salt supplements rely on heavy doses of sugar to promote intake, these supplements feature a palatable non-sugar-based formula that horses will readily consume.

In addition to the supplement products, Purina Animal Nutrition has independently developed Hydration Hay™ Original Horse Hay Block, a forage product designed to keep horses hydrated after competition or strenuous exercise, and while on the road. Each two pound block soaks up five times its weight in water in about 10 minutes and masks the taste of foreign water sources, supplements and medications, helping ensure horses receive ample water and nutrition while on the road.

To learn more about these supplements, visit www.purinahorsesupplements.com or visit your Purina® feed retailer.

37 Years and Counting!

ebruary is here and that means the thirty-seventh annual Baca Rough Stock Rodeo is kicking up dust once again in Belen, New Mexico. Cowboys from all across the Southwest will be heading to the Central New Mexico valley for another rendition of the largest rough stock event in the United States.

Beginning on February 9 and running through March 10th, the five-weekend “Baca Series,” will be the talk of the rodeo world. With an estimated purse of over $50,000 and over $20,000 in awards up for grabs; combine that with the toughest bulls and rankest broncs in the business and some of the best rough stock competitors in the country, this event will be full of some great action each and every weekend.

Each weekend will feature two days of great rodeo action, including bareback riding, saddle bronc riding and of course bull. In addition, each day will also contain kids rough stock events that include sheep riding for youngsters who are 6 years old and under, calf riding for 7-9 year olds and steer riding for the 10-12 year old age group. Nothing but great rough stock action from young to old, the Baca Rough Stock Rodeo is once again ready to kick off the year with a great event.

The Valencia County Sheriff’s Posse Arena in Belen, New Mexico has been the stomping ground for the Baca Rough Stock Rodeo for many years and if the arena fences could tell stories, there would be plenty of great ones to hear from past “Baca Series” events.

From great rides that will forever be etched in the minds of those who were present, to wrecks of all sorts, the event has seen them all. Many of today’s top hands in the rodeo world have been past contestants of this event and many legends in the sport have been among those who have crawled over the back of the bucking chutes and onto the waiting explosion of one of

Casper Baca’s bronc or bulls. This year, may present a future world champion, or a featured current superstar who stops by for a taste of the adrenalin filled action of the Baca Rough Stock Rodeo.

For contestants, this no doubt one of the biggest events of the year and if you call yourself cowboy, you better not miss any of it. With a separate rodeo each day, lots of money to win, and the best stock to partner up with, the “Baca Series” is a sure way to kick off a great new season.

The end of each weekend will be complete with awards distributed to the winners. Awards presentation after each round will be held at the Sheriff Posse Café and will hand out Sterling Silver buckles to the performance winner. In addition, the feature awards, presented after the final round on March 10 will be given to the overall event champions.

They will be decorated with Trophy Buckles that will showcase their talents.

These cowboys can strap these buckles on with pride each and every day.

Reserve overall event champions will be trophy watch bands.

W

ell, here we go! A month into 2013 and things are rolling great. I could do without the cold weather, but knowing spring is just around the corner gives me some encouragement. What gives me even more encouragement is what is shaking loose in the rodeo community, both locally and nationally.

I recently got a chance to attend part of an NMRA meeting this past month and I promised those at the meeting that none of them were going to be the focus of this monthly column.

However, I just can’t help myself. I have nothing to say about anyone at the meeting, but wanted to comment on how the 2013 NMRA Board of Directors are a great bunch of individuals. I was amazed to see how dedicated theses guys and gals are to the NMRA and the sport of rodeo in the Southwest as they talked about future plans of the NMRA. I also recently talked to Paul Carmen, president of the GCPRA. He too was very positive about the sport of rodeo in Arizona and what the

future holds for the 2013 GCPRA season.

He let me in on a few things that he hopes will continue to drive the association forward and continue to grow the sport of rodeo in the future.

On a national level, the word is out that the PRCA and GAC TV are working together even more than they already do on the coverage of the NFR. What I understand is that they are picking a handful of PRCA events and adding an extra day to the rodeo. This is going to be a separate rodeo and will feature national coverage of that event. There will be added money at each of these events to make them become highlighted events for the top professional cowboys to attend.

I believe this is an incredible move for the sport of rodeo in general. The more national television coverage of rodeo available, the more people will relate to the sport. I believe that is one thing the PBR has done an amazing job with. They have made rock stars out of bull riders and most of that was because of the ability of people being able to watch them on TV throughout

57

the country.

On a separate note, big things are happening on the regional rodeo front as well. Without too much more to say about this, watch for future ads and information in your local publications that will explain how your local rodeo association can soon become very visible on the national level.

On a somber note, I would like to send my support to one of New Mexico’s own bull riders, Matt Clouser. I have had the privilege of knowing this great guy, and typing his name in many bull riding results and event stories throughout the years.

Clouser has been diagnosed with cancer and is in a fight for his life. A benefit rodeo for Clouser is being hosted on March 16 in Belen, New Mexico (Please see ad on page 12 of this issue). Come out and show your support for Clouser and be part of the rodeo community who always seem to come together in times of need.

Until next time – “Dirt” Keep it under your feet.

Santa Fe Rodeo Grounds Gets a Facelift A combination of state, county and city funding would provide $200,000 for the design of an indoor arena at the Santa Fe, New Mexico Rodeo Grounds, according to a report in the Santa Fe New Mexican. The city is currently on track to approve a bill introduced by Mayor David Coss that would give $100,000 to the project. A precursor to the measure was approved 13 months ago, but that money was to be given only if Rodeo Property Inc., the owner of the property and a subsidiary of Rodeo de Santa Fe, was able to match the $100,000. The group secured funding from the Legislature for $81,000, and another $19,000 from the county, according to Rodeo de Santa Fe’s lobbyist.

Brazile Sets Half A Dozen More Records at NFR Trevor Brazile, jack of all (roping) trades, has the ProRodeo record for having the most records and he either broke or extended six more during his

THE

10-day stint in Las Vegas for the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo.

At the top of the list was his record seventh consecutive All-Around World Championship, which extended his record total to 10 and allowed him to break out of his tie with Jim Shoulders for most total world championships (17) by a multi-event cowboy.

He also won a record seventh Wrangler NFR all-around gold buckle, breaking the deadlock he’d had with Ty Murray and Tom Ferguson.

The $50,649 he won on his way to finishing third in the team roping heading world standings allowed him to extend his National Finals (NFR and National Finals Steer Roping) earnings record to $1,505,697 and his career earnings record to $4,598,002.

Luke Branquinho’s win in the fourth go was the 21st NFR round win of his career, moving him past fellow four-time World Champion Ote Berry on the alltime list for his event and Cody Ohl won two rounds of the tie-down roping to extend his NFR event record to 44.

World Champion Barrel Racer Mary Walker broke the NFR earnings record for her event with $146,941, surpassing Sherry Cervi’s old mark by $841.

ALL-AROUND

Hitting One Million Early On his way to a second consecutive gold buckle in tie-down roping, Tuf Cooper fell just short of becoming the youngest cowboy in ProRodeo history to surpass $1 million in career earnings. His $108,464 at the Wrangler NFR brought his career total to $995,249, leaving him just $4,751 shy of the milestone entering the National Western Stock Show & Rodeo in Denver. ProRodeo Hall of Fame inductee Ty Murray holds the record, having reached $1 million over the Fourth of July run in 1993 when he was 23 years, 9 months old; Cooper turns 23 on Jan. 31.

Youngster Wins Title Cody Teel (20 years, 6 months) became the youngest world champion bull rider since Bill Kornell won the title in 1963 as a 19year-old rookie and the Kountze, Texas, cowboy did it in what amounted to a war of attrition. The bulls had a 72 percent buck-off rate for the rodeo and nobody had qualified rides in more than five rounds, equaling an NFR low. There were only two qualified rides all week that didn’t earn a check and only two rounds that paid out to all six places.

Nine of the 15 bull riders showed up on the injury report from the Justin Sportsmedicine team during the 10 days of the rodeo, a few of them with more than one injury.

Competitorial Take a quick inventory of all the timed event guys you know. You’ll find that a lot of us, most likely the majority of us, started out on that end of the arena, and a good many of us did our time volunteering and representing those events for the good of the association and the sport… Now it’s your turn.

Look, it’s a lot of work. It requires some personal sacrifice. At times, if you do the job right, it will make you unpopular with your own travelin’ buddies… but… IT’S YOUR RESPONSIBILITY! Nobody is going to do it for you. If you want to make rodeo better, if you want to see bigger payouts, if you don’t want to be the generation that allows rodeo to die, then don’t just sit there with your hand up. It’s time for you to stand up and make a difference.

And this goes back to the beginning of this conversation. How many of you with your hands up at the start are willing to do something about it? Rodeo

remained committed to is calling it like I see it. It’s not a choice that has come without making a few people mad over the years, or even without the threat of an ass-wuppin’ or two… and I remain on the look-out. But what it does do, is make it easy for me to sleep at night, knowing that, like it or not, I told the truth.

It seems as though telling people the truth is not a popular position these days, and I can personally vouch for the fact that is has cost me some dollars in On a more personal note, this marks advertising… and no doubt a the beginning of my 18th year … wow… subscription or two. I’m okay with that. time flies. It was 18 years ago when the I’m not for sale. I have six kids, they first issue of what was then called The depend on me, but I can think of no Competitor came off the press and was better example, nor am I more proud, that read by you for the first time. A few I have not allowed what I view as the years ago, as it was merged with The Alltruth to be compromised by anyone, or Around, I felt it was appropriate to for anything. change the name, VSA out of respect forINthe HOUSE PROOF CRX’D So here’s to another 18 years… legendary Jim Shepard, who started it all… and I am still proud to call him my friend.

Like Jim, one of the things I have on the local level needs ALL of you. It means every one of you who believes in the value of the heritage of the sport has to get involved. Beating the same old horse is NOT going to get it done. And if you think the PRCA is ever going to reach out to associations which can’t even get their own membership to commit themselves… forget it.

Ok, you can put your hand down now.

The Work of Fools

H

ow did this Grand Experiment we call America end up being run by a Congress of jerks and an army of incompetent bureaucrats with no common sense or real world experience? How did the greatest Democracy the world has ever known end up being dictated to by special interest groups and their lobbyists who routinely represent less than 5% of all Americans? Since when did the American Way come to be defined as unemployment benefits, political action committees and a “conservation” strategy that can best be defined as “lock it up and let it burn?”

For those of you who think the solution to our dilemma is more government, we take you now to a press conference in Washington DC twenty years from now. Amidst a nationwide food shortage, the work of fools is being defended by the Secretary of the F. F. and D. No, those aren’t the grades your youngest son brought home on his last report card. It stands for the Food, Fuel and Fish Department, the consortium of bureaucrats, greenies, animal rights groups, unions and government bureaucrats who, like a circular firing squad, take turns blaming each other for their failed policies.

“Mr. Secretary, why are there no eggs on the shelves of grocery stores?”

“I can explain everything. After we outlawed cages for laying hens and turned them loose on open range they kept hiding their eggs. We assigned a task force to the problem and they looked high and low but they couldn’t find any eggs. Then an observant staffer discovered the hens were leaving their sanctuary by flying over the one foot tall fences. It turns out that chickens are actually birds. Who knew?”

“Mr. Secretary, why is there no milk, no dairy products of any kind?”

“I sympathize, believe me, I miss my Gouda and goat cheese as much as anyone.

It’s not because the cows are being mistreated, I assure you. We give them daily

You’ve seen the rest...

Now wear the BEST!

massages, did away with those sexist artificial inseminators and had all those hideous bulls slaughtered so they could no longer rape the poor cows.”

“But didn’t you know that a cow had to be bred to one of those hideous bulls in order to give birth to a calf in order to lactate?”

“What? That sounds absurd.” The Secretary turns to a subordinate from PETA and asks, “Did you know anything about this?”

“Sir, the people are starving. Why is there no bacon to bring home?”

“Because after we outlawed gestation crates the mother hogs kept squishing their babies. Or eating them.

It was gross. They acted like pigs.”

“There are reports that people are burning their IKEA furniture for fuel and shooting some of the vast marauding herds of old horses and wolves out West. In light of the food shortage is it now okay to slaughter horses for food or to shoot endangered species to feed your family?”

“Absolutely not! Let me make myself clear. Shooting a wolf will land you in jail.”

“At least they’d get something to eat in prison,” said a hungry journalist.

“Can’t a point be made here that the food shortage is a good example of what happens when we let special interests do our farming and ranching for us, instead of farmers and ranchers?

With all due respect, Mr. Secretary, who will save us from our rescuers?”

“Are you implying that we don’t know what we’re doing, or have no experience? I’ll have you know that I’ve flown over Iowa numerous times and have visited several wineries out in California. And have you seen our award winning website? I want everyone to know that we’re doing the best we can.”

“With all due respect Mr. Secretary, that’s precisely what the stakeholders are afraid of.”
