he weather may have been cool and crisp, but it didn’t keep team ropers from heating up the arena floor at the Arizona Championships at the Apache Gold Casino Arena in San Carlos, Arizona. The event took place February 46, 2011 and welcomed ropers from all over. Arizona is still the place to be in the wintertime and the Arizona Championships proved just that.

Matt Sherwood teamed up with Mike Beers to win the Average of the Open Division. They roped five steers in 45.11 seconds to claim the victory and earned

$1,940, trophy rope bags and points for the US Open Tour. Second place was Derrick Begay and Cesar DeLaCruz with a time of 45.82 seconds on five steers. Skeeter Hill and Shad Chadwick won the Incentive Average with a time of 19.09 seconds on two steers. The win paid them $1,330 plus $2,000 in USTRC Flex Earnings.

Colorado and New Mexico teamed up to win the Average of the #15 Division.

Kyle Roberts and Cole Jackson took first place with a smoking time of 37.46 seconds on five steers. They received trophy rope bags, $2,532 in cash and $6,000 in USTRC Flex Earnings. Second place was Jake Mayfield and Jason Morris,

while third place went to Jeff Billings and Shain Sproul.

Texas header Little Rudy Rodriguez claimed his share of the winnings by teaming up with Duncan, Arizona heeler Nate Mortensen. The duo finished first place in the Average of the #13 Division with a time of 44.11 seconds on five steers. The win landed them trophy rope bags, $4,266, and $6,000 in USTRC Flex Earnings. Second place in the Average was Rob Tedder and Reno Eddy, while third place went to the team of Dusty Penrod and Jared Luster.

Competitorial ’

I

ve been doing this for quite a few years now, and if there’s one thing that coincides with having what is, by default, considered a voice that counts, it’s that you’re somehow obligated to listen to a lot of disgruntled competitors. In a weird sort of way, I’ve actually grown to like this part of it. What I found a long time ago, is that the point of contention… or discontent, as it may be… is usually masked somewhere beneath the surface of the complaint, and the longer the conversation goes on, the more evident it becomes. This past month provided a great example of this with an interesting twist that I have to admit I found kind of funny.

It was funny to me because in the span of just a couple of days I had nearly identical conversations with two different team ropers who were completely “fed up” with their chosen team roping organization, vowing to never go back and declaring they were going to take their business elsewhere. I’m omitting the names of the complainers as to not bring any embarrassment, but will recant for you the gist of each of the conversations.

Roper “A,” I’ll call him, started out by telling me he had been a long and loyal

member of the USTRC, but was done with them. An immediate tip-off that what he was complaining about was not the reason he was mad, was that he started the complaint with the standard, spoon-fed line of complaints that everyone uses when they want to start throwing rocks at the USTRC. “They treat me like a number…

Their payoff is lousy… Their classification system is too structured”… yada, yada, yada.

So… like I usually do… I asked for specific examples. Again, recognizing these are “canned” complaints he either read on a website somewhere, or had heard countless times, repeated over and over by ropers in the past, I didn’t expect to get any. “Well they just run teams through as fast as they can… They pay too many places in the Average and not enough to win… The TRAID system doesn’t let you win…”

In the conversation with Roper “B,” he explained that he’d had it with World Series events. “Their cattle $%&* (are terrible)…

The production is shoddy… Payoff is too much of a gamble… Classifications are too arbitrary”… yada, yada, yada.

Again, when pressed for specific examples, some of the answers were

USTRC Arizona Champs continued close with the #12 Division. It was all about the team of T.J. Jewell and Steven Gaona, both from Arizona, as they dominated the roping. They finished with a time of 33.68 seconds on four steers and finished well over three seconds ahead of second place in the Average.

The team won $3,822, trophy Martin saddles and $6,000 in USTRC Flex Earnings. Second place went to Rod Reidhead and Darrel Sewell and third place was Gary Kiehne and Cade Passig.

Dustin Navarro and Casey Dunham won the Incentive Average.

The second day of team roping began with the Gold Plus. Wayne Shaw of Texas and Rodney Wilcox of New Mexico claimed the win of the Century Bonus.

They were 26.06 seconds on three steers.

They went on to rope their final steer in 9.79 seconds to place them second in the main Average, just behind the team of Bart Judd and Dennis Lines both of Pima, Arizona. Shaw and Wilcox took home $2,332 plus $6,000 in USTRC Flex Earning, while Judd and Lines landed trophy Gist buckles, $2,150, and $6,000 in USTRC Flex Earnings. The team of Bob Scott and Rick Kerby also earned trophy Gist buckles for finishing first place in the Incentive Average. The victory paid them $1,382 and $6,000 in USTRC Flex Earnings as well. Robert Martinez and Darrel Sewell won third in the main Average and Corey Keyonnie and Lino Rubal were fourth place.

vague… “They front load the payouts too much and don’t pay enough Average spots… Too much sitting around… When you win they move your number.”

It was the last example given by both ropers that provided a glimpse at their real reason for feeling the need to vent their dissatisfaction. Letting them rant on longer and longer, they both finally came around to the fact that each organization had recently raised their classification. Of course, as soon as they acknowledged that fact, they both immediately went out of their way to claim the classification increase really had little to do with their discontent. …of course not.

I have to say there were a number of things I thought were interesting about this, but the irony is what stood out the most.

Basically, Roper A was wanting what Roper B was complaining about and it sounded to me like Roper B wanted what Roper A was complaining about. Ironic and a little funny, yes, but it provides a perfect example that should get the attention of producers. Trying to satisfy the whims of complaining team ropers is NEVER a good strategy. I’ve said before that if you produced team roping events the way ropers suggested, you’d end

Tammy Norris teamed up with Keith Jacobs to finish second in the Incentive Average and USTRC Announcer Reed Flake partnered with Walt Vermedahl to finish third.

The Tucson, Arizona team of Mike Anaya and Austin Tomaski were the champions of the #11 Division with a time of 34.90 seconds on four steers.

The win put $6,400 cash in their pockets, trophy Martin saddles on their horses and gave them $6,000 in USTRC Flex Earnings to use. Second in the Average was Austin Bahe and Dustin Williams with at time of 35.65 seconds on four. Third place was Robert Martinez and Jared Gonzales and fourth went to Bob Scott and Darrel Sewell.

T.J. Jewell and Devon Burris won the Incentive Average.

up out of business in a hurry and there wouldn’t be a bunch team ropers lined up to hug you and tell you how sorry they were to see you go.

You can’t blame ropers for being so fickle either. When a roper drives up and unloads he wants only one simple thing of the producer: To provide a way for him to leave with the most money. Simple for the roper, yes, but except for one or two ropers in attendance… IMPOSSIBLE! … and so goes the fickle nature of the modern team roper.

The bottom line is that despite the sincere belief in the sanctity of their own judgment, there are two kinds of ropers who you just can’t trust to be objective… the ones that just got their classification lowered and especially the ones who just got it increased.

National All Amatures Teenage Brothers Win Matching Dually’s at Truck Fiesta Salvador Flores Jr., usually heels and his little brother, Armando, had always headed prior to this year. The boys from Buckeye, Arizona, swapped their usual ends, with Salvador heading and Armando heeling at the Fiesta, produced by Yost Events at Dunn’s Arena on Jan. 23. The average winners of the Fiesta — a stop on the National All Amateurs Tour — would get the keys to two brand-new Ford Powerstroke dually trucks.

Salvador, 19, hadn’t even been on a horse for two weeks because rodeo practice hadn’t yet begun at Cochise College in Douglas, where he’s a sophomore. He took the mare he’s had for eight years, Cee Cee, to a roping Friday that he won heeling, then turned around and headed on her Saturday

with four partners.

The eldest Flores brother had trucks on his mind, and did a lot of reaching on Saturday, missing with two of his other partners. “I told my brother that if we needed to be quick, I was going to let it go fast because I wanted to win those trucks,” he said. It worked well enough to give the brothers the high call-back position.

Their father, Salvador Flores Sr., missed the fourth high steer, and the second high team missed, as well, but the brothers still had to be a short 8 for the win. They were exactly 7.78 — the third fastest time in the short round — to win the trucks by just a half-second over Kerry Black and Brock Kipp.

As soon as they came tight, Salvador and Armando’s cowboy hats were tossed high, which cued their extensive herd of family and friends (including their visiting

grandmother from Mexico) in the stands to throw their hats, too, in a true roping fiesta.

Salvador had won six saddles in his young career, but never a prize like this.

Both boys turned down offers to buy the trucks for tens of thousands of dollars.

“We drew good on all three of our runs,” Salvador said. “We just like NAA ropings because of the guaranteed cash and prizes.

That Ty Yost would guarantee two trucks no matter how many teams he got is awesome, and the fact that my brother and I won them is a dream come true!”

For the Rising Stars Calf Roping producers, Chris Neal and Mark Holder, 2010 was truly an eventful year. In a year when things were so uncertain about the future, they feel really blessed that the entries were up 107 more than last year, the sponsorships exceeded the past by leaps and bounds, and the thanks and praise spoke louder than ever before. None of it would have been possible without all those who participated in one way or another. So to all the contestants, sponsors, suppliers, vendors, work crew, family members and the town of Duncan, they say a heartfelt “THANK YOU” for your continued support and dedication to the Rising Stars Calf Roping. Hope the Stars keep Rising for you in 2011!

World Series of Team Roping 2011 Changes – News and Notes Addition of the #12 Division

#13 Only Ropings!

Obviously the biggest change at WSTR for the new season will be the addition of the #12 Division. This change was made to relieve pressure from heelers arguing to be 6 plus heelers in order to get a “second roping.” This fourdivision format should solve the request by providing two divisions for everyone.

There is a little speculation that the addition of another division will decrease attendance in the #13 and/or the #12 division, however, WSTR is committed to carry the new division all the way through to the Finale in December.

In 2009 we held at least two-dozen “#13 Only” ropings. However in 2010, we cut way back on the number of these type ropings as a result of the #13 Finale filling that year. However, in anticipation that the addition of the #12 might decrease the #13 slightly, we will be granting a few of these for this season.

You may have noticed that we recently granted a #13 “Only” in Wickenburg, AZ, and have authorized one at Casa Grande, and one at Cave Creek (which will be a special fees event). The reason that we have sanctioned these in the midst of snowbird season was a result of the request of mid-range and upper numbered ropers. The statement is that there are a tremendous number of lower number and age-limited events during snowbird season, but limited opportunities for a little higher number ropers. We aren’t completely sure that we agree with the analysis, but we are willing to fly test balloons to check it out.

World Series Barrier For Every Qualifier At the 2010 contractors meeting the decision was made that the World Series Barrier will be utilized at all World Series qualifiers unless the facility prevents it from being used. Members should assume that all ropings would have the WS barrier unless noted on the advertisement.

ACTRA 2010 ACTRA National Scholarship Recipients

We reduced the number of special fees ropings in 2010. This occurred partly as a result of economic concerns and also ropers who indicated which ones they are willing to support. As it stands at this moment, we have re-sanctioned the Businessman’s - Salado, Perfect 10 -Vegas, 13 and 12 Only – Cave Creek, and Texas Two Step.

Thode, originally from South Dakota competed in bull dogging and roping events, but was best known for his classic saddle bronc riding style, an event which he excelled at.

Earl, born on December 7, 1900, was said to have been riding horses on the family ranch south of Belvedere by age 5.

By 11, he was considered a great rider – riding race horses at local county fairs. In his teens, he was breaking and training horses for his father and other area ranchers. According to reports, Earl had an uncanny way with horses.

Earl entered his first rodeo in 1920, the local White River Stampede, where he won the all-around championship; no small deal as this was a renowned rodeo at the time.

For the next 7 years, he mostly rodeoed around South Dakota also working as a cowboy. In 1927, Earl decided to make rodeo his full time career.

After the Madison Square Garden finale of ‘27, Earl and a bunch of other contestants were invited to England to perform for British Royalty. In an interview with author, Dan Woods, Earl was quoted as saying, “They made us bronc riders wrap our spurs with rags and wouldn’t let us use a quirt. ‘Twas quite different from this country, but everyone seemed to enjoy it.”

Earl had a unique spurring style (for the times), involving the fore and aft motion from point of shoulder to flank which all bronc riders are required to use today. He was the first to use this technique and is credited with its invention.

Earl’s rodeo resume reads like the who’s who in rodeo: 4 World Champion Saddle Bronc riding titles (1927, 1928, 1929, 1931) and 1 World Champion All-Around Cowboy title (1929). He won all the major rodeos of his day including Calgary,

Madison Square Garden, Fort Worth, Tucson, Phoenix and Cheyenne to name a few. He actually won the bronc riding at Cheyenne 4 different times, a record which still stands today.

Earl originally competed in the Rodeo Association of America (RAA) which was the predecessor of the Cowboy Turtles Association (CTA) formed in 1936, then changed in 1945 to the Rodeo Cowboys Association (RCA) and in 1975 to the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) which is what we have today. He was membership # 36. In 1979, Earl was inducted posthumously into the Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame.

It has been written that Earl probably should have a couple more All-Around titles to his credit, but prior to 1929 records were sketchy. Also prior to ‘29, the World Champion was based upon winning a certain rodeo and not the whole year’s accumulation of rodeos. Earl was part of the reason they started keeping track of totals won in 2 or more events, thereby naming the All-Around champion each year.

In 1929, while competing at Calgary, Alberta, Canada, Earl broke his leg and during the hospital visit which ensued, he was brought back to health by Nurse Edna Blodwen Cole (friends called her Blodie).

Earl came back to see Blodie at Calgary the following year and then the two were married in 1931 when Earl returned once again for the rodeo.

Calgary was a special rodeo for Earl, he won several times there, he met his future wife there and in 1937, it was where he retired from professional rodeo. After getting banged up by the pickup horse upon dismount, Earl knew bronc riding at age 37 was not in the cards any longer.

Earl at Calgary on Midnight

Author, R. Lewis Bowman, (nephew of World Champion, Everett Bowman) remembers going to rodeos as a kid with his Uncle Everett and meeting Earl. The two champions were close friends, but what Lewis remembers most about the great Earl Thode, was he was kind.

“Earl had time for everybody. He would walk up and shake the hand of a kid, smile and visit a while,” says Lewis. “That made him pretty high up in my book as I was about 5 years old the first time I met him.”

Being kind to children was a trademark of Earls. He had 2 sons of his own, but often took in wayward kids, making his sons feel at times as if they were part of a much larger family. Earl could have hired cowboys to work on his ranch, but would hire a needy youngster over the more experienced man every time. He was involved in the Elks Lodge and instrumental in the Shriners parades, raising money for children’s hospitals. Earl donated beef to boy’s homes anonymously time and again.

It was also reported that Earl was a quite and humble man, often feeling almost embarrassed at the attention given to him as a world champion and celebrity figure.

According to youngest son, the Honorable Thomas Thode, “There are 12 people named after Pops that I know of and only 3 of them are blood related.”

In 1934, the Thode’s moved to Casa Grande, AZ where they homesteaded a 320 acre farm and ranch near Eleven Mile Corner. In the late 1930s, Earl and partners leased several parcels of state and private

land in the area between Casa Grande and what is now Arizona City where they ran cattle on the desert during winter months.

Earl bought a ranch west of town on Midway road in 1941 with proceeds made from the sale of the Eleven Mile Corner place and money made running cattle. The 1,000 + acres of patented land on Midway became what most old timers knew as “the Thode Ranch.” He ran cattle and raised cotton there.

Earl was very active in the Fiesta De Los Vaqueros rodeo in Tucson, traveled back to New York to direct the Madison Square Garden show several times, and was arena director at the Phoenix rodeo also.

Locally, at Casa Grande Rodeo Days, he is credited with being the first arena director and committee president, a position held for many years.

Blodie became active in local politics.

She joined the woman’s club, was elected to the state legislature an amazing 18 times and was instrumental in the formation of the Casa Grande Regional Hospital.

During this time Earl also bought a ranch at Douglas, AZ where he raised cattle and the family visited there in summer to get out of the desert heat. In the late 1950s, the Douglas ranch sold and Thode bought one in the White Mountains of Arizona, near Vernon, moving most of his ranching operation up there. On May 18th, 1964, Earl was fishing alone in a small boat on a pond at his ranch; he was later found dead. It was determined that the boat capsized, drowning Earl in the chilly water.

Tuff-N-Nuff Miniature Rodeo Association

ll-Around

Photos and Story By Philip Leimbachwww.doubleptack.com

dd one part Saturday night with one part family spirited event, add one part mini bull, reduce riders by 10-15 years, mix well say an inspired prayer, toss lightly in the arena of life at the Amarillo Cowboy church and hang on for a whooping up the trail kind of Saturday night. That’s just what happened when the Tuff-N-Nuff Miniature Rodeo Association brought in some of the best mini bull riders and some of the best mini bulls to the Arena of Life in Amarillo, Texas for their first mini bull riding event of 2011.

It was standing room only crowd as the kids matched the top notch bucking bulls’ jump for jump. While many people see the word ‘Mini’ and think not that bad they pound for pound are just as rank as their competitors on television every weekend.

The bull riders starting with three year old Tyson Nelson had every bit as much heart, try and skill that their much older counter parts exhibit every weekend.

From young Mr. Nelson through the senior section going up to the age of 14 the crowd quickly picked someone to root extra hard for and the boys and bulls kept the crowd into the excitement of the evening.

The riders led by brothers Kade (5 years old) and Briggs (the 2010 World Champion) Madsen of Utah showed the future of the American Bull Rider. And it sure looks like a bright future at that.

CBR 2011 CBR Casa Ford Tuff Hedeman West Texas Shootout The 2011 CINCH CBR Tour was in El Paso, Texas on February 11-13, and the fans witnessed another great night of bull riding. Speaking of the fans, they deserve a lot of credit for selling out the El Paso County Coliseum and giving the bulls and riders an extra boost of energy.

Craig Jackson won the event on the strength of two 90-point rides, and it was a very deserving win for the hardworking bull rider from Houston, Texas.

He had started the 2011 season a little slow, but the victory was just what he needed.

There is plenty of talk about after the second CINCH CBR Tour event of the season, so I’ll get right to it. Here are five thoughts I have after the event in El Paso. If you have anything to add, please visit our Facebook page and give your input. Also, you can always email me at: codythrasher@cbrbull.com.

Enjoy!

Craig Jackson’s Win Was Important For Two Reasons Craig Jackson’s win was important for multiple reasons. First, it’s always great to win a CINCH CBR Tour event and pick up the winner’s check, Resistol 20X Cowboy Hat, and Custom Henry Rifle that goes along with it. Jackson has worked extremely hard over the past couple seasons, and it was nice to see the hard work pay off with a victory. Like I mentioned above, he started the new season a little slow at the Horizon Series level. Not only did his win move him into the top 25 in the CINCH CBR World Standings, it should also give him confidence to keep the momentum going as the season progresses.

Second, Jackson’s win moved him into the early lead in this year’s $10,000 Mahindra Tractors CBR Texas Swing. All televised CINCH CBR Tour events in Texas will count towards the bonus, and El Paso was the first event in this year’s Texas Swing. There are obviously several more Texas events throughout the course of the 2011 season, but being in the leader after one event is never a bad thing. It will be interesting to see if Craig can remain a

contender for the $10,000 bonus over the course of the season. If he stays healthy, he should be a factor.

Congrats to King/Herrington on the Bull Team Victory The King/Herrington bull team found the winner’s circle Saturday night, and they also collected the $22,500 winner’s check. The trio of bulls on the team were Directory Assistance, Lounge Lizard, and Son Of A Buck. That’s the same trio that carried the Box K Cattle Company team to a secondplace finish in Hobbs two weeks ago. These guys obviously have the bull team challenge figured out, and they deserve a big congratulations for that. The three bulls also deserve a lot of credit for doing their job each and every time out.

The Washburn Company finished second in El Paso, and All Star/Cooper finished third. Both teams placed in the money in Hobbs, and they also deserve credit for their consistency in the Palace Station CBR Million Dollar Bull Team Challenge. Owen Washburn changed one of his bulls this time around, and while none of them were ridden for eight seconds, they were extremely impressive nonetheless. The All Star/Cooper

10:32 AM

team won the Hobbs event, and they were successful again in El Paso. Dakota Magic’s Double Scoop was the only bull on the team that was ridden, but that was good for 91.5 points. Both of these bull teams will be contenders at the Bull Team Finals in Cheyenne later this year.

New Number One in the CINCH CBR World Standings Craig Jackson got a lot of the attention in El Paso after his impressive victory and rightfully so. However, it’s worth noting there is a new rider at the top of the CINCH CBR World Standings after the event in El Paso.

It’s none other than 2007 CBR World Champion Bonner Bolton. He has been extremely consistent so far in 2011 at all levels of Championship Bull Riding. Bolton is 3-for-4 so far at CINCH CBR Tour events, including a third-place finish in Hobbs. When he is riding this well, he is tough to beat.

Over the course of the season, he is going to be a major factor in this year’s World Title race. Right now, he is the man at the top!

I can’t make it through this recap without mentioning J.W. Harris. He is absolutely on

Page 1

ll-Around

top of his game right now, and he is making things look extremely easy. He won the first CINCH CBR Tour event of the season two weeks ago, and he backed that up with a second-place finish in El Paso. He rode both his bulls once again, and that included a 90.5-point ride in the Championship Round.

He is 4-for-4 so far this season, and his lowest score is 88 points. Harris has moved into the top 10 in the season standings, and that climb should continue if he keeps entering events.

Best Bulls From the El Paso Event As always, there were several great bulls out in El Paso. Three bulls were marked 45.5 points, and those three were Chocolate Joey, Daddy’s Boy, and Tap Out. Chocolate Joey and Daddy’s Boy are both owned by Owen Washburn, so he deserves some credit for that accomplishment. Tap Out is owned by Cooper/Scruggs, and he was the bull Craig Jackson rode for 91 points to win the long round. He wasn’t a part of the bull team, but he might be one to look at in the future.

Other great bulls that deserve a mention are Curly Bob (45 points), Shine Time (45

points), and Playin’ Hooky (45 points).

Thanks to all the stock contractors who continue to bring great bulls to Championship Bull Riding events.

Struggles Continue For Some of the Best Wesley Silcox, Luke Kelley, Jake Littlefield, and Ednei Caminhas have all started the 2011 CINCH CBR Tour season 0-and-2. I wouldn’t have guessed that in a million years, and it’s truly hard to believe.

Silcox had a great long-round bull in El Paso, but he didn’t make the whistle. Kelley had the same bull he had in Hobbs, but he couldn’t get redemption Saturday night. It’s only two events, and there will be plenty more chances for all these guys to right the

35

ship. That being said, it’s still something to keep an eye on moving forward.

Another guy who continues to struggle on the CINCH CBR Tour is Friday Wright. It’s hard to imagine, but he still hasn’t made a qualified ride since his win in Fort Worth last March. However, you heard it here first that his slump is about to end. It’s hard to think of a rider who has drawn tougher bulls over the last handful of events than Friday. He came extremely close to making the whistle in El Paso, and the score would have been close to or above 90 points. Wright has had some success on the Horizon Series so far this season, and it’s just a matter of time before it translates to the CINCH CBR Tour. The Lufkin event in two weeks may be his time to shine again.

ell it started flying this month - the dirt that is.

Yep, March always brings wind and, yep, I have been cleaning boulders out of my eyes for the past couple of days.

And it doesn’t look like it is going to stop any time in the near future.

As for the content of this magazine, there has been some dirt stirred up in this area as well. I recently heard a rumor that I found to be true. Denny Gentry was named one of the Expo New Mexico, State Fair commissioners. This kind of excited me at first, thinking about the future of the fairgrounds. From a producer standpoint, Gentry should be able to offer a lot of input as to what can be done to attract more events to the fairgrounds and what improvements should be made to keep them returning.

However, I also know that this appointment was probably not what it looked like from the outside as it was a hurried-up, quiet appointment, from none other than our past ‘really honest and open governor,’ Bill Richardson just before he left office. I recall that when Ruth Grant Bitsui was appointed a commissioner a few years ago, there was a couple of months of press release information that helped spread the news. Kind of funny, Gentry’s appointment was nothing like that.

This got me thinking. Why was this a last minute appointment from the out-going governor? Why wasn’t it well publicized the way others have been in the past? And what was the underlying agenda behind it?

Here is what I did find that raised my eyebrows a little. A recent article from the Albuquerque Journal staff writer, Charles D. Brunt addressed a

new State Bill from State Senator Tim Keller that will address the requirements and an assessment and public hearing on any “expansion or redevelopment” of the aging Expo New Mexico Fairgrounds or on any “substantial modification of the state fairgrounds plan.”

What does that mean? Well, according to the article, “a recent attempt by the Downs at Albuquerque to extend its lease for up to 40 years and allow construction of a new multimillion-dollar casino near the fairgrounds’ southeastern corner raised the ire of neighborhood associations and others who said they were blindsided by the plan and had no input in its development.”

It seems the vote on the proposal in the waning days of Governor Bill Richardson’s tenure never came to a close and the above mentioned proposal was left empty-handed. However, the bill entered into the State Senate has opened a big can of worms for the State Fair and they are looking at whether a Racetrack and the Casino is the best avenue to take for the future of the facility.

For now, we will have to wait to see what happens in Santa Fe on the subject of the Racetrack, Casino, the State Fair Grounds itself, and the commissioners as well. Recent information says that Governor Suzanna Martinez, has wiped the State Fair Commissioner slate clean and, although some of the past commissioners may be re-appointed, as of right now it stands empty.

Until next time – Dirt, Keep it under your feet!

Big Tex Switches Events, Still Produces Winning Ride At Rio Rancho, N.M. When saddle bronc rider Alex Wright saw his draw for the New Mexico Stampede, he wasn’t quite sure what to make of it.

“I saw ‘Big Tex,’ and I didn’t make the connection at first,” Wright said. “I asked around if anybody knew about this horse and I was told that, yeah, ‘Big Tex was the bareback horse of the year in 2010,’ and I was going to be the first guy to ride him with a saddle.”

Wright had to widen out his list of usual sources to get a scouting report, going to bareback riders Kaycee Feild and Tilden Hooper, who rode Big Tex for a world record-tying score of 94 points last year in Silver City, N.M. Although “they weren’t very happy” that Scotty Lovelace of Classic Pro Rodeo had taken Big Tex out of the bareback pen, they willingly passed along all the intel they had about the gelding’s tendencies.

“The main thing was figuring out how much rein to give him,” Wright said, “but it all worked out great. He stayed underneath himself, didn’t move much, and bucked high. I was really glad to have him.”

The 89 points he was awarded by the judges was enough to hold off Bradley Harter for the win by one point and was Wright’s career best in a PRCA rodeo.

Lovelace was just as happy as Wright with the outcome. He’d been thinking

about trying Big Tex as a saddle bronc horse for a while and was so encouraged by what he saw that he is planning to saddle him again later in the season. For next week’s San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo and the Dodge National Circuit Finals Rodeo in Oklahoma City, Big Tex will return to bareback riding competition.

“There were a couple of things involved with this change,” Lovelace said.

“For one, I think it’s best for some horses to go back and forth between the events, so they stay fresh in their main event.

Besides, I had noticed he was starting to move a little bit when he bucks, and I was hoping the change of events might cure that.

“One day – not right now – I think he is going to be a saddle bronc horse full time. I’m not talking about now, because he is the bareback horse of the year, but one day. The thing is, we are kind of loaded with good bareback horses with Fancy Free, Scarlet’s Web, Wise Guy and Good Time Charlie. All of them are 10thround NFR horses, and we’d like to balance things a little bit with the saddle bronc horses. I don’t know what it is: We just seem to find and raise good bareback horses.”

Lovelace would get no argument from the bareback riders at the New Mexico Stampede. Seven of them had scores of 85 or better on Classic Pro Rodeo stock, led by Jessy Davis, who won with an 89point ride on Scarlet’s Web. Lovelace even moved one of his top saddle bronc horses, Lori Darlin (Cody

DeMoss was 90 points on her in Shreveport, LA), into the bareback pen.

“Lori Darlin did great,” Lovelace said.

“The young rider who drew her didn’t fare so well.”

The other champions of the New Mexico Stampede were steer wrestler Clayton Tuchscherer (4.0 seconds), team ropers Ty Blasingame/Cody Hintz (5.3 seconds), tie-down ropers Wacey Walraven and Jon Peek (8.4 seconds each) and bull rider Myron Duarte (90 points).

No Second Year Slump!

Seth Hall, 20, was fifth in the rookie all-around standings last year, and he is showing no signs of a sophomore slump.

He was the all-around champion at the Yuma (Ariz.) Jaycees Silver Spur Rodeo with earnings of $2,940 after winning the team roping with Brooks Dahozy and winning a round of the tie-down roping in a rodeo-best equaling time of 7.9 seconds.

In his third year at Odessa (Texas) College, Hall plans to up the ante this year and make it to 50 PRCA rodeos in addition to his college competition. “He is the most athletic timed-event man that I have on the team, especially calf roping and team roping,” said Odessa coach Kelly Doster. “He’s something special, super competitive and knows how to win.”

Hall of Fame Inductees Seven-time World Champion

All-Around Cowboy Ty Murray will be inducted into the Arizona Sports Hall of Fame in March, along with former Arizona Diamondbacks and Boston Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling, former NFL defensive lineman Randall McDaniel and Olympic gymnast Kerri Strug. The induction ceremony is March 31 at the Wild Horse Pass Hotel and Casino in Chandler, Arizona, and will be preceded by a celebrity golf tournament on March 30, 2011.

Veteran stock contractor and rodeo producer Jim Sutton will complete a personal grand slam of sorts March 26 when he enters the South Dakota High School Basketball Hall of Fame. It follows his earlier enshrinement in the South Dakota State University, South Dakota Amateur Basketball and South Dakota Sports halls of fame. Sutton led his Onida High team to the 1953 Class B title, was a three-year starter at SDSU and was the first South Dakota player selected in the NBA draft – a ninth-round selection of the Minneapolis Lakers.

Two-time World Champion Bareback Rider Jack Ward, bull rider Myrtis Dightman, and specialty act performers Jerry Diaz and Tommy Lucia were inducted into the Texas Cowboy Hall of Fame on January 13. Ward, who won his gold buckles in 1977-78, qualified for the NFR 11 times and won 15 rounds there, equal to fourth-best all-time in his event. He also qualified once as a bull rider.

Lima Wins Exciting PBR Event in Oklahoma City Brazilian wins title with 92.25 points in final round Scoring 92.25 points on Crosswired (D&H Cattle Company/Clifton Wiggins) in the Built Ford Tough Championship Round, Paulo Lima of Bezerros, Brazil, finished first in the Professional Bull Riders event at the Oklahoma City Arena on Sunday.

Lima becomes the sixth Brazilian rider in a row to win a Built Ford Tough Series event. He was a perfect 5-for-5 at the The Split by WinStar World Casino Invitational presented by Express Employment Professionals. Lima finished with 436.25 points and earned $37,235 for the victory.

It is the second career victory for Lima, who tied for first at Greenville, S.C. as a rookie in 2010.

There were three lead changes in the championship round, beginning with Valdiron de Oliveira of Aparecida de Goiania, Brazil, who moved into first place after scoring 90 points on Speckled Ivory (Circle T Ranch & Rodeo). Austin Meier of Kinta, Okla., then took over the top spot with an 88-point ride on Hard Times (Currey Creek Bucking Bulls). Meier ended up second overall with 428.75 points, and Oliveira was third with 353.25 points.

Oliveira remains first in the BFTS standings with 3630.75 points, 432 ahead of Meier.

Aaron Roy of Asquith, Saskatchewan, was the leader heading into the last round after finishing second in Round 4 with 88.25 points on Fully Loaded (Dakota Rodeo/Chad Berger/Clay Struve). Two-time PBR World Champion Chris Shivers won Round 4 with 89.75 points on The Situation (Dakota Rodeo/Chad Berger Bucking Bulls). It was the second round win of the weekend for Shivers, who was the leader after Round 1.

Oklahoma City is the sixth stop on the nationally-televised BFTS, which makes 28 stops in 23 states. The season began at world-famous Madison Square Garden in New York on Jan. 7-9. It all culminates Oct. 26-30 in Las Vegas at the richest bull riding event in the world, the PBR Built Ford Tough World Finals, where the 2011 PBR World Champion will be crowned and awarded the $1 million Built Ford Tough bonus.

The action in Oklahoma City will be televised in HD on VERSUS at 8 p.m. ET on Sunday. Play-by-play broadcaster Craig Hummer will be joined by two-time PBR World Champion Justin McBride, who will provide color commentary, and Erin Coscarelli, who will be doing dirt-level

interviews. Built Ford Tough Series telecasts are produced for the PBR by David Neal Productions, a Los Angeles-based production company led by 30-time Emmy® Award winner and Peabody Award winner David Neal, who serves as executive producer and creative lead.

The PBR will travel to Arlington, Texas, for the 2011 Dickies® Iron Cowboy Invitational presented by WinStar World Casino at Cowboys Stadium on Saturday, Feb. 19. Superstar singer/songwriter Toby Keith will perform a special one-hour concert prior to the bull riding, beginning at 7 p.m.

Good seats are still available, beginning at $20, and the price includes the concert and the Iron Cowboy. Tickets are on sale at the Cowboys Stadium box office, online at www.ticketmaster.com and by telephone at (800) 745-3000.

This unique bracket-style event, created specifically for Cowboys Stadium in 2010, has the riders competing head-to-head on similar bulls for a total purse of $200,000, with the winner receiving $50,000. The winner will also have the opportunity to earn an additional $100,000 if he can ride one of the top contenders for World Champion Bull, Super Duty (Robinson/Katich/Pinnacle Bull Group).

The runner-up receives $25,000, and each qualified ride will earn $1,000.

We are excited to be returning to the Apache Gold Arena in February and then on to Florence for our March rodeo followed by Willcox in April and Prescott in May. The recent raffle for the DHS saddle went very well and congrats to Lucas Blinger of Willcox for buying the winning ticket.

The next fundraiser that is starting right away is for a 350 Yamaha Grizzly 2x4 Full Size Quad. Please contact any member of the AJRA to buy your tickets. The drawing will be held at the 2010-11 AJRA Finals. For more information on the AJRA and more results visit our website at www.arizonajuniorrodeo.com

Letter to the members of the New Mexico Rodeo Association from John Adams, NMRA President.

As I sit and write this letter I have had a few days to reflect on the NMRA winter convention and the huge amount of ground we covered in such a short period of time.

Once again, I give all the credit to the NMRA board of directors and especially the hard work and dedication of Janice Aragon.

It is staggering what can be accomplished with a room full of highly motivated and talented people that have common goals in mind. With that being said, here are a few of the things coming your way for the 2011 rodeo season.

• Congratulations to Donna Tolbert our new Central entry secretary. Welcome aboard Donna.

• Central entry has gone to computer draw. Enter via email, fax or phone. No more speed dialing for hours on end.

The best part…. your draw positions will be texted to you within moments of the books closing.

• Rookie/youth rodeo is coming to the NMRA. Bareback, broncs and bulls for the younger crowd. Full story coming on NMrodeo.org.

• Ranch Bronc riding is coming to the NMRA. Do you have what it takes to make it to the championship? More on NMrodeo.org soon.

2011 NMRA Standings Bareback: 1. Jon Luse, Albuquerque, NM, $305; 2. Kory Hart, Pagosa Spgs. CO, $138 Saddle Bronc: 1. Chance Barnes, Flora Vista, NM, $458 Bull Riding: 1. Joseph McConnel, Bloomfield, $763 Breakaway Roping: 1. Jana Baker, Aztec, NM, $549;

Crossroads Rodeo Co. Mark Sanchez P.O. Box 3072 Durango, CO 81302 970.739.3851

Nicole Sweazea, Mountainair, NM $287; 4. Amanda Clawson, Gallup, NM, $139; 5. Rachael Maestas, Belen, NM, $93; 6. Lisa Girdner, Bos. Farms, NM, $58 Incentive Barrel Race: 1. Jasarra Baca, Albuq. NM, $219; 2. Annie Chroninger, Jemez Springs, $164; 3. Casey Dove, Belen, NM, $114

These are just a few of the changes; we don’t have all the kinks ironed out so please be patient, this is a work in progress.

Several Rodeo committees attended our winter convention and I want to personally thank each and every one of you for coming and offering your input. We gained a lot of insight and heard some great ideas.

I believe the number one issue that came up as a result of this meeting is the lack of rough stock contestants entering rodeos in New Mexico. This problem is not unique to New Mexico. I have had several conversations with the presidents of neighboring associations and believe me; everyone is struggling with this issue. Why is this happening? I don’t believe there is one single answer, in fact I believe it is a mixture of many social and economic problems all blended together. The board of directors of the NMRA has committed to work together to find solutions to this problem. However, our success depends on the collaborative effort of everyone involved in the process. So as a contestant, the next time you are headed to a big roping or a big “national event” bull riding, make sure you are not driving by a small hometown rodeo that is desperately trying to preserve our rich New Mexico rodeo heritage.

What these rodeo committees are doing is significant and hugely important to the future of rodeo in New Mexico.

Support them! Enter their rodeos.

Thank you — John Adams , NMRA President

Membership Has It’s Priviledges In 2011 the NMRA entry system will be a preference draw. Contestants will no longer be tied to their phones on entry night trying to enter into the performance of their choice. NMRA members and members of co-sanctioning associations that guarantee their entry fees will be able to fax or email entries in one week prior to the phone entry night. Check out the entry page on the NMRA web site: nmrodeo.org.

NMRA members and members of co-sanctioning associations will also receive a text message and/or email after the closing of entries that informs them what performance or slack they drew up in and what position in that performance or slack.

Non-members or members of associations that do not guarantee their fees will have to phone in on entry night and pay with a credit card. Their credit card will be processed that night. Non-members will not receive a text/email that informs them when they have drawn up. They will need to check the day sheets posted on the NMRA web site.

The NMRA is looking forward to the 2011 rodeo season and anticipates that this entry process will make entering easier and more efficient.

The AIRCA 2011 Membership Drive Rodeo event champions include: Young cowboy Byron Murphy – Steer Wrestling; Two time world champion Gerald Daye – Tie Down Roping; PRCA cowboy Craig Begay – Bull Riding; Professional school teacher Leander Thomas – Saddle Bronc; White Cone, AZ cowboy Earl Tsosie – Bareback; AIRCA 2008 Membership Drive Rodeo Champion Melissa Trujillo – Ladies Barrel Racing; Twin Lakes, NM cowgirl Twila Jones – Ladies Breakaway Roping; Bill Dahozy and Myles John – Open Team Roping; Ty Dayzie and Eyron Cowboy - #10 Team Roping; 2010 World Champion Leonard Williams Sr. – Senior Breakaway Roping; Deven Sells – Junior Barrel Racing; and 2010 junior bull riding champion Cody Johnson – Junior Bull Riding.

On the path forward for AIRCA in 2011, the rodeo sponsors meeting and contract personnel recertification will take place on a date to be determined in February 2011 followed by more rodeos in the outdoors beginning April 2011 (weather permitting).

AIRCA is calling upon all rodeo committees to join.

AIRCA President Harrison Charley expressed optimism for 2011, “Let’s continue AIRCA rodeo at its best in 2011.

Thank you to all the integral components that make AIRCA whole such as rodeo fans, rodeo committees, business sponsors, contract personnel, and of course our cowboys and cowgirls. Without all you fine people, we would not have a mighty fine association that is second to none. You are the spokes and wheels of our 1957 wagon that began a historic journey for our Indian contestants – a journey with many wonderful milestones. Let’s continue to pull together in harmony.” Together, let’s continue riding on our history making journey as more and more contestants spawn off AIRCA to the PRCA, the likes of current successful contestants Derrick Begay, Spud Jones, Aaron Tsinnigine, Erich Rogers, Brooks Dahozy, Craig Begay, Guytin Tsosie, Donovan Yazzie and Debbie Robbins, to name a few.” With that, rodeo season 2010 became a chapter for the history books and 2011 is now a challenge for those who “cowboy up.”

C T A R R PO RE

tad bit cool by Arizonans standards but it didn’t keep the barrel racers away. Everyone rang in the New Year in their own particular way but mostly with warm clothing. What great fun! If you haven’t been to this New Year’s get together in Buckeye, AZ, you don’t know what you’re missing. If you wanted to win some BIG BUCKS, this was the place to be.

As usual, the ground at South Buckeye Equestrian and Event Center (SBEEC) was groomed to near perfection by Chuye and the tractor crew. With the help of the Black Widow arena tools, the ground held through the three days of racing and over 1176 runners not including time only/exhibition runs. The pay out was approximately $66,460.00 in cashola and $17,000.00 in saddles and other awesome prizes. You do the math. Thanks for the support from all the out of Arizona barrel racers. Where were they all from? California 27, Colorado 4, Idaho 9, Illinois 1, Kansas 1, Montana 6, Nebraska 2, New Mexico 27, Nevada 9, Oklahoma 2, Oregon 6, Texas 4, Utah 4, Washington 6, Wyoming 2 and “Oh Canada” 7.

And we had vendors galore on the property including the local Coors Beer Distributor who sponsored the 3D futurity race, barrel covers and fence banners, JC Adams (661-609-3891) Equine Sports Conditioning, Cathy Birch of Envi Me (209598-8354), Brenna Butler of Scentsy (623256-3342), Destiny Crane of Harmonic Health, Alexis Richardson of Turn 3 Barrel Horses www.turn3barrelhorses.com, Louis of Morinda Care Ag, Renegades Western Toys, Kelli Heidt of Animal Krackers, Lori Harvill of All About Me Flip Flops & More (928710-8701), Chuck McCubbins of Frame Rite, Lynell LaRue of Flash That Bling (877-8428254) www.flashthatbling.com , Val McGregor of Go Spur Z Apparel (970-9807236), Tom Neuman of ReVita Vet (602-5131223) www.revitavet.com , Michael Cloward of First Barrel.com (415-938-7375) order your video at mjcloward@gmail.com, Mandi Holland DVM of CSR Equine Sports Medicine Team, Randall and Dwight of Action Plus Digital Photography (208-4105501) www.actionplusphotosonline.com and Pooh’s Concession with Michelle and Pam fed us all! Dynamite Horseman Supply was on the property with the mobile unit as well as the store (623-3273030) www.dynanutehorsemansupply.com .

Thank you all for sharing New Year’s weekend with us.

Special thanks to the crew who were in

the arena – Pete, Ellen, Terry, Cortney; announcing and office – Devonne, Crystal, Katie and April! Couldn’t have done it without everyone.

Congratulations to all the winners:

AW4D Winter Blast South Buckeye Equestrian & Event Center was the site for the 2011 AW4D Winter Blast held on January 8-9. This annual race was co-sanctioned with NBHA AZ02, NW5D and had a payout of $9,085.

There were prizes galore for those who ran both days and had two clean runs. Those qualifying in the average drew a card from the deck, placed half in a bucket and waited for their name to be called! Twenty-two racers who were left standing after the first cut of the cards received prizes with the last five sharing in the booty of the top prizes.

The happy winners were: Holly Jo Taylor who will be typing on a new lap top computer; a19” flat screen television is what Larry Denning won; a Sony DVD player went home with Judy Mylymaki; Desirea Wheeler will be videoing runs with a new video camera and; producer Jan Finney drew the winning card for a digital camera.

Thank you to the race sponsors Morinda Equine Performance, J.C. Adams Equine Sports Conditioning and Alexis Richardson of Turn 3 Barrel Horses. And, thanks for the shopping provided by our vendors. . .

don’t have any money. But until now I’ve never heard of cows being kidnapped. The case was simple to solve because the gang of cow thieves lived on a neighboring ranch. I suppose the crooks, who seemed to be just a few clowns short of a circus, left a ransom note that went something like this:

Held Hostage

id you hear about the cattle-napping case near Socorro, New Mexico? And no, I’m not talking about a herd of cows taking a mid-afternoon siesta. It seems that a handful of cattle were kidnapped and held for ransom. That the thieves were caught is no big surprise as they have to go down in history as some of the dumbest crooks ever. Even

dumber than the guy who stole a police cruiser because he saw 911 stickers on it and thought it was a Porsche.

I’ve heard of babies being kidnapped, diplomats, drug kingpins and even authors being nabbed, but those cattle-nappers must have been so dumb they had to be watered twice a week. Every one knows that authors

Dear Rich Rancher, We have yer cows. Give us a lot of cash or bad things will happen to them. And don’t call the cops either or you’ll never see your cattle agin.

Signed, Yer Nabor.

This is how I’d respond if my cattle were kidnapped and I received such a ransom note.

I would be interested to know how you caught her. You must be awful handy with a reata and I’d like to invite you to my next branding. We could use someone who can actually rope something.

Please be careful with the mean cow with the bobbed tail as she has already put two people in the hospital and put a hitch in my wife’s get-a-long. We think she’s so crazy because she may have contracted mad cow disease from hanging around some Canadian cattle. My wife hates her and says to go ahead and do despicable things to her before you kill her and eat her. You might want to cook her hamburgers well done due to her Canadian connections.

The bull you stole shoots blanks and if he comes in contact with any of your cows don’t expect a calf crop because the bull has Trich.

You can keep the money you get from selling him but I’d love to get his hide back as the three way cross between a Longhorn, Corriente and a Holstein created some interesting color patterns. It would make an great rug, don’t you think?

The estray is self-explanatory because I think she belongs to you. It’s the first time she’s been on the right side of the fence in six months and I’m tired of feeding her.

Although I won’t pay your ransom demands I will leave two old horses in the same field so you can steal them too. Since they banned horse slaughter I’ve been stuck with them. Also feel free to take any dogs, sheep or old rusty scrap metal you find in the field as I’m sure all this will allow you to increase your ransom demands.

Best wishes, Your neighbor.

Dear Neighbor, You may have noticed that this thank-you note contains no ransom money. Don’t worry about me calling the cops, even if I did they are much too busy due to a new donut shop opening in town to deal with a cattle-napping case. But I did mention the theft to my local coffee club and before I knew it the local weekly newspaper called and I made the front page for the second time in my life! I want to thank you for making me world famous.

Secondly, I also wanted to thank you for taking the cattle that you did. You see, they were in that pasture because I was gathering up a gooseneck load of losers to take to the local auction market. Thanks for saving me the gas to get them there and the commission.

I’d like to familiarize you with the cattle you pilfered. The one-eyed cow with the crooked horns hasn’t had a calf in the eight years I’ve owned her. The only reason I still so mean I couldn’t Then when theINkidnappers tried to bring CRX’D MONTHshe’s FEB 11 BUILT BY CR - VSA HOUSE PROOF CRX’Dhad her is because catch her. I won’t pay you anything for her all the cattle back that they stole, I’d because I’m sure she’ll be condemned due to nab them.

Money and Fence Posts

I

got to know Amos several years ago. He had a fairly fancy house in town, but spent most of his time at what he called his homestead. I drove to his homestead expecting to see a crusty, bedraggled old fellow, but an urbane gentleman with wavy white hair and a twinkly grin greeted me at his front gate.

I hid my surprise as best I could as we shook hands. He invited me inside his spotless log house and offered coffee – like every cowboy I’ve ever met.

I was there to ask about his Charolais cattle he’d just brought over from France, but he seemed to enjoy having an interested listener (which I certainly was) and ended up telling me more than he intended I’m sure.

As we drove through the pasture and I photographed those big white Charolais cattle I happened to notice many of the cedar posts along his fence lines had little piles of dirt around their bases. After complimenting my powers of observation he told me the story. During the Prohibition years (1919-1933) Amos’s father, to stave off starvation on their homestead, became a whiskey maker – a mighty good one. His white lightning was bottled in Mason canning jars and delivered in a Stutz Bearcat. “If necessary, my Pop could outrun anybody – anybody,” Amos declared.

About the fence posts. “My Pop never trusted banks, so those same Mason jars were our bank. They were buried, money inside, beside fence posts. I was full-grown before I knew about those buildings in town called banks. When we needed money we just dug some up.”

Amos’s dad’s whiskey-making stills never were found by the “revenooers,” which was saying something in Prohibition days. How did he manage that, I wondered.

Amos explained: “In those days often times the local preacher also had a homestead and raised a few cattle, horses, chickens, pigs, just like everybody else every day except Sunday. My Pop always put his still in one of the preacher’s pastures, way back among the junipers where even the cattle didn’t go.” Amos couldn’t hide his grin when he revealed that little secret.

By the time Prohibition was repealed, the Depression had shut everything down.

Amos talked about seeing pictures in the newspapers of crowds of angry people standing in front of buildings with the word “Bank” printed on them.

In all, 9,000 banks failed during the decade of the 30s. It’s estimated that 4,000 banks failed during the year of 1933 alone.

By then, depositors had lost $140 billion through bank failures.

That’s when Amos figured out his Pop was even smarter than he’d thought, so he eschewed banks as well.

I couldn’t help wondering if money might be beside some of those fence posts even then, but I dared not ask. As if reading my mind Amos said, “No, I’ve gotten all the money out of the ground.” After a short pause he added, “I think.”

I laughed. “Those old Charolais bulls would be good guardians, anyway. They don’t like strangers walking among them afoot.”

Amos just grinned.
