ell, unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past few months, you likely have been following RFD- TV’s, “The American” held a couple of weeks back.

Complete coverage of the inaugural event is included in this issue in case you missed any of it. I’ll just say it was everything it was billed to be, and I hope that someday we will all look back on it as a turning point for all of rodeo and rodeo-related events.

I couldn’t be happier to see it end with such success… or what appears to be a success.

Certainly it was a success from the perspective of the contestants and no question it was exceedingly popular among fans and spectators.

The only question is whether or not the production was a financial success. THIS is the real question. And I hope it was, because if it wasn’t, none of it really matters moving forward. If, however, the reward for the production proved to outweigh the risk, I think it opens up all kinds of future possibilities.

What might be the most appealing part of it is something I’ve been hammering on for some time. The concept behind “The American” included the future of the sport. For too long the model has been for the growth of the sport to be pulled along by the top… that is… the professionals at the top. That model is broken…

Ad/Text deadline for the May issue of The All-Around is April 7, 2014.

and it’s never going to work again. You need to look no further than the PRCA for proof of this.

But it’s more than just the youth of the sport, it’s the working class guys in the middle that really make it work. These are the ones who drive the “industry” of the sport. They are family folk who remain deeply tied to the sport. Whether they be past their years of glory or still on their way up, they are the engine, and without them the sport dies. In short… they have real jobs… they earn real dollars… and they spend those dollars pursuing the sport they either love, are addicted to… or some combination of both… THEY DRIVE THE INDUSTRY. Consider for a moment those parts of the sport that have continued to flourish over the past couple of decades and those which are in decline.

PBR – Flourish: Growth and success due in no small part to the development and nurturing of the next generation of bullriders.

They get it… and the success of the organization speaks for itself. This took some real foresight. They broke free from the old model and in doing so secured perpetuating success. continued on page 59

2014 Cervi Roping: Exciting to the Very End

lead with only 2 teams left. The Navajo Nation still had another warrior in Casa Grande to take a shot, Erich Rogers. As last year’s champs, Rogers and Cory Petska settled into the box under immense pressure and the thoughts of back-to-back wins on their minds. Cory already had 3 Cervi Champion saddles in his trophy room, but wanted another.

Their 5.69 was a solid run, but not enough to overtake the lead.

It was truly all down to the last run.

Sherwood and Dallyn needed a 5.69 to win. The crowd seemed to collectively hold its breath, and only the sound of the

Matt and Rocky in their winning run to win the average at the 2014 Mike Cervi Jr Memorial.

T

he Mike Cervi Jr. Memorial Pro Classic Team Roping has earned a reputation for breath taking finishes over the years, and the 2014 Cervi Roping, held February 19th in Casa Grande Arizona was true to form.

Again this year the roping was a part of the USTRC’s Open Tour. The winning teams could accumulate points for the year end prize of $10,000 to the high point header and heeler of the year.

“When you have this high a level of professionals so closely bunched, it always amazes me how they can reach deeper and pull out an incredible performance going for the win,” said roping producer, George Aros. Deeper, faster, sharper; that’s what 20 teams knew they had to do going into the Short Go. The day couldn’t have been nicer, with perfect weather and great ground. It was the polar opposite from the previous year’s mud bath of rain sleet and snow. A big crowd of enthusiastic fans filled the stands for the progressive four rounds and final. “At the start, it looked like it might be a kind of dull roping. Some big names were done after just one run,” said Aros. Such fears were unfounded. Sixty five teams moved on to round 2, and the field hit their stride, yet there were still some gut groaning runs where a line caught nothing but air.

After 4 rounds, the top 20 were brought back for the Short Go. Matt Sherwood and Rocky Dallyn sat on top with a 27.85, and would go last.

They were by no means in a safe spot. The top 8 teams were close on their heels. Joel Bach and Clint Summers came back with the 8th fastest time, only 1.2 seconds behind, and determined to move into the money. Their flawless run put the peddle to the floor and was the fastest of the entire roping, stopping the clock at 5.02. Now the pressure was on Matt Sherwood, showing his form in a go-round run everyone to be fast or go home empty handed. Arky chute opening could be heard. $25,580 Rogers and Chase Tryan put everything was on the line. The pair dug deep and on the line and got it done in 5.78. Jade pulled out a perfect run. The flag Corkill came back in 6th with Zayne dropped at 5.66 and the newest Cervi Dishion, but the pair had a miss. Corkill Champions were crowned. The pair took had to put that out of his mind and get home $12,790 each, a Running P saddle right back into the box for another shot alon with ten points for the Priefert US with partner Clay Tryan.

The Championship wasn’t Sherwood’s only win of the day. He started off in the Pro Am heading for Bob Scott to help earn Scott a fasttime round buckle. Now in its 3rd year, the Cervi Pro Am gives ten headers and ten heelers the opportunity to rope with some of the best in the business. After three full rounds, the Pro Am Heading Champion buckle went to Donnie Haught, who had Chase Tryan on the other end.

a proud sponsor of the Pro Am since its inception, and supplied embroidered jackets to all the amateur contestants. As an added bonus for the all the Pros and the Amateurs alike, this year’s roping saw the return of the VIP “Coral” sponsored

by Earnhardt Motor, where competitors had access to a delicious burrito lunch.

George Aros says some days he feels like he has aged 20 years producing this roping, but the grin on his face washes away any sign of the years. He truly enjoys providing this caliber roping event for the pros. That dedication shows when he is already planning how to make next year’s event bigger. “I’ll keep doing it until I go to my grave,” he quipped. With many more heart stopping finishes like this year, we all may need resuscitation so that day remains decades away.

RFD-TV’S THE AMERICAN Pays Out $1.1 million to Bareback Rider, Richmond Champion

Richmond Champion THE AMERICAN Bareback The Richest one-day Rodeo Champion and $1 Million in Western Sports History Cowboy paid out $2 million to rodeo contestants on Texas Independence Day

owboys and cowgirls from across the world gathered at AT&T Stadium for their chance at the $2 million dollar payout. Underdogs, legends and world champions competed in seven events on Texas Independence Day. As promised by President and CEO Randy Bernard, $2 million, in total prize money was paid out. Each RFD-TV’s THE AMERICAN event champion received a $100 thousand dollar paycheck along with a prize package totaling more than $27,000 (a Polaris RANGER, a custom Cactus trophy saddle, a Bohlin Buckle and a Browning Gun.) “THE AMERICAN was created to provide an opportunity for qualifiers to compete against the best in the world. It truly was a historic day for western sport athletes. I would like to thank the sponsors, contestants and fans for supporting and making this vision a reality,” stated Randy Bernard, President and CEO of Rural Media Group.

History was made when The Woodlands, Texan, Richmond Champion was the only qualifier to win his event. The 21year-old Bareback Rider was one of 46 qualifiers and 9 exemptions eligible for the million dollar side pot.

Champion said, “I felt really good coming out of the Mesquite Semifinals. It was a huge confidence boost. When you come to an event like THE AMERICAN you have to set goals. After my second ride it started to hit me that I would have a chance at the million dollars.”

Cowboy Up Last Man Standing Tour Kicks Off e kicked off the Cowboy Up Last Man Standing Tour on March 9th in Las Vegas, New Mexico. The steers were fresh, and the cowboys were eager and ready to play. On a total we ran 236 team for the day.

Our first roping was the Cowboy Up Last Man Standing Match. We paid back 100% of the 13 teams’ entry fees—for a $1300 total payout. The final rounds came down to 4 teams: 2 number 8 teams, a number 11 team, and a number 13 team. The number 13 ran first and slipped a leg to be 12.86. The remaining teams needed to catch faster to be in the money. However, as luck would have it, every team missed their steer. Michael (Sike) Jaramillo and Roy Montoya won $800 for first. For second, a match took place and again only one stopped the clock: Shane Sena and Joey Sena who won $500.00 for second. The number 13 team roped 6 steers, and the number 11 team roped 5 steers. Those teams split all the entry fees for the roping.

The 12 slide was the next roping and once again, luck would have it that (Cowboy) Roy Montoya and Jonathon Lucero would come from the 12th call to win with a 24:17 on three steers. They payout for first was $1600. Shane Sena and Brandon Baca came from 9th call to place second; Marty (Baby Cakes) Valencia and Adam Esquibel placed third; Jimmy Garcia and Roy Montoya placed fourth; and Shane Sena and Benjie Lopez placed fifth.

In the last roping of the day, the 5N under draw 4, Lydia (Twinkie) Ullibarri and Justin Martinez won first with a time of 29.53. Adam Martinez and Eddy Alcon placed second with a time of 35.54. Carlos Baca and Justin Martinez placing third.

Thanks for the great day ropers, and see you at the next Last Man Standing Tour Date!

The Arizona Cowgirl

Story and Photos Compliments of Jim Olson

L

et me introduce you to Bobbi Jeen Olson. Cowgirl extraordinaire! The great Rex Allen was known worldwide as “The Arizona Cowboy.” Bobbi Jeen is quickly becoming known in some circles as “The Arizona Cowgirl.” There are several reasons for this.

Raised in the country, and brought up in the ranching lifestyle, she is first and foremost, a real cowgirl. Riding, roping and even branding are all things she has done in real-life situations. Her first paying job was at a cattle auction. And yes cowboys, that championship team roping buckle hanging on her belt is one (of many) she won herself.

As a young lady, Olson became interested in a local Queen contest. That year, she won the title of Torrance County Queen, representing Torrance County, New Mexico (where she lived at the time). From there she competed at the New Mexico State Fair, where, by a slim margin, she finished runner up. What was more important about competing at the state fair however, was that a local talent scout (agent) happened to be there.

She took a liking to Bobbi Jeen.

After interviewing with the agent, Olson soon had her first gig. The agency then found she was eager to work in front of the camera and had a natural talent for

doing so. In those beginning years, she worked on many projects including commercials and ads for Pemmican Beef Jerky, local Western Wear stores and Wrangler products. She also did riding scenes and doubled many famous actresses in films such as Stolen Women, The Hi-Lo Country, Walker - Texas Ranger and appeared in several music videos. She built a resume which said: Model, Actress, Stuntwoman.

During this period of her life, she also volunteered long hours at a therapy program which helped to rehabilitate the handicapped through horseback riding.

Helping youngsters remains a passion of hers to this day.

After moving to Arizona and taking a break to start a family, she got back into the world of modeling and acting, this time with a new spin on it. A slightly more mature person evolved this time.

One who now had a mission other than “just getting in front of a camera.” Olson now was determined to promote the way

of life she loved and cherished. The Western Way of Life—represented by good, family based, morals and values. She also wanted to inspire people through what she was doing.

Projects she has worked on in the last decade are numerous. As a model, she has been featured on the cover of many magazines, walked the runway in some of the West’s biggest fashion shows and promoted products such as western fashion and accessories for major designers.

Being an expert horsewoman, she is still called upon to do riding scenes for Hollywood actresses.

However, directors and producers have figured out that, since Bobbi Jeen can Act as well, it saves time and money to just hire her for the part. There is no sense in hiring two people to film one part!

For a while, she did a stint as host of Arizona Country TV. Although the project was short-lived, it is something Olson is proud of. “Promoting the west, it’s wonderful scenery, and interviewing inspirational people is something near and dear to my heart,” said Bobbi Jeen.

She has delved into hosting and interviewing on several occasions, for various projects.

In Arizona, a state with a long history of Western projects, Bobbi Jeen is one of the busiest persons in the industry. Arizona personality and spokesperson, The Arizona Dude, said, “I don’t know how she does it, but every time I turn around, Bobbi Jeen is involved in another project.”

THE

APRIL 2014

ALL-AROUND

As she has made a name for herself, Olson has become more “selective” in what she gets involved with. Her personal motto is all about promoting the Western Way of Life and it’s traditional values. While not every project she works on is necessarily “western,” all of them will be family friendly. “I don’t want to do anything that I would be ashamed for my thirteen-year-old son or my mother to watch,” she said. Her values and ethics must be paying off because she is constantly being offered bigger parts in better projects.

At the time of this writing, she has worked on three different movies—soon to be released. Two are traditional westerns and one a contemporary western. Upcoming

projects she has already been signed for include a feature-length mystery film set in modern-day Arizona called Deadly Sanctuary and three different fashion shows. She is also slated to appear at a seminar in Wyoming which will teach modeling and inspire young ladies to go

33

after their dreams.

Somewhere along the way, they started calling her “The Arizona Cowgirl.” As discussed above, she is a real cowgirl. She is also charitable, inspirational, is of good character and ethics and is not afraid of a little hard work. All great cowgirl qualities. Most cowgirls do possess these traits. Bobbi Jeen however is in the unique situation where she has become quite visible due to her public life. Since she projects those same qualities publicly, raising the bar for all who see, it seems quite fitting for her to be associated with the name.

Mother, wife, cowgirl, model, actress, stuntwoman, inspiration—Bobbi Jeen always tells people, “Dream so big that if even half of it comes true, it’s still amazing!”

(On a side note, yours truly, is very happy and proud to celebrate fifteen wonderful years of marriage to Bobbi Jeen Olson this April 24th!)

The Wrangler Best of the Best Timed Event comes to Gallup, New Mexico!

T

he city of Gallup enjoyed being the host of the Junior High National Finals for the past nine years. This past summer, at the conclusion of the 2013 event, Gallup Mayor Jackie McKinney looked me in the eye and asked… “What is the next chapter of Gallup’s involvement with Youth Rodeo?” I immediately answered, ’a high stakes High School Rodeo’. I wasn’t sure of the details at the time, but felt confident we could raise the bar for high school rodeo athletes.

The overwhelming support from national sponsors convinced me that I was on the right track, and The Wrangler Best of the Best Timed event Invitational was born. Wrangler, Jiffy Lube, Classic Equine, American Hat, Hot Heels, Navajo Arts and Crafts, McKinley County, the City of Gallup, as well as, a host of several gracious individuals have stepped up to make this event something special.

The title “Best of the Best” can mean a lot of different things. Is it the best athlete, the best athletes competing against the best athletes, competing on the best stock, competing at the best facility (one re-designed for youth rodeo), competing for the best prizes, competing for the best payouts, or quite possibly all of the above?

The 1st Annual Best of the Best Timed Event Invitational, scheduled for June 25-28, 2014 will be held at the beautiful Red Rock Park, in Gallup, NM. It provides high school age rodeo athletes (9th-12th grade), a high stake opportunity to compete in timed events. Using the National High School Rodeo Association (NHSRA) Rule Book as its competition guide the events will be as follows: Barrels, Poles, Break Away Roping, Goat Tying for the girls, Tie Down Roping for the boys and a Coed Team Roping. In addition to a huge cash purse generated from entry fees, the athletes will compete for $2,000 of added money in every event but the team roping, where $4,000 will be added. Average winners will also receive a check for $3,500 and custom Martin Saddles. All events will be two full rounds with the second round being ran in the reverse order. After two rounds of competition, the top twelve in each event will advance to the short go round. Go round money will be paid in all three rounds.

Rodeo is such a family affair we couldn’t resist adding a Parent/Contestant team roping as an added feature event. In addition to the cash payout, the champions of the average will receive a Hot Heels roping machine. The Parent/Contestant team roping is open to any contestant and either parent and or both parents. The Contestant/ Parent team roping may be entered as many times as a parent or contestant is eligible.

All events will be limited to the first 81 entries. When an event fills, it will be closed, so it is important to get your entry blank sent in as soon as you can.

We look forward to seeing you at the 1st Annual Best of the Best Timed Event Invitational. If you have questions, please call 505-726-6070 or visit us online at www.gallupnm.gov/bestofthebest.

The Baca Rough Stock Series Wraps Up

T

he 38th Annual Baca Rough Stock Series came to a close on March 9, after five weeks of some of the best rodeo action in the southwest. For the past thirty-eight years this event has mentored and supported more cowboys and cowgirls then any other event of its kind throughout the country. The ‘Baca Series’ as it is known by most throughout the years has always showcased the talents of some of the best contestants in the county, as well as some of the best bucking horses and bulls.

This year the series added “time-events” and it looks like that will be an addition that is going to stay. “We haven’t had timed events in the series for about 20 years.” Said Casper Baca, “We were pleased with the turnout and hope to keep it going in next year’s event.” “What we also added this year was the Novice Bronc Riding and Novice Bull Riding,” added Casper, “this was a great addition and gave some of the young contestants a chance to get involved.”

The 38th Annual event held true to its reputation as it highlighted some of the best and some of the up and coming rodeo talent in the area. “Our number of contestant were up from last year, which was exciting.” Said Baca. “We were also blessed with some of the best weather we have had for an entire series in the past 38 years.”

It is great to see events like this in the Southwest and also very important for these events to stay consistent in providing opportunities for contestants and the sport of rodeo to grow. The Baca Series has done just that. A big thanks to the Casper Baca Rodeo Company and crew for all the hard work they do and all the volunteers that make this event happen. 38 was an awesome number and we are looking forward to number 39!

USTRC – Flourish: A long term commitment to youth and the focus on the working class team roper is what has sustained it through the most significant economic downturn in a generation.

I think it’s interesting to point out that in the early days of the USTRC, it was the open ropers who were the greatest detractors of the organization (and to some degree still are.) There was actually a movement, early on, where open ropers hinted that their participation would be linked to adding money to the open payoff from the lower divisions… and THAT is why its typically a really bad idea to let the coyotes lay out the strategy for guarding the sheep.

PRCA – Decline: Doing the same thing over and over, while expecting a different outcome… that’s just stupid.

Guided by the memories of glory days past, the PRCA has refused to pay attention to the elephant in the room. As the “keepers of the flame” that is the sport of rodeo, they’ve

done a pathetic job… and why?

Because they still believe the sport can be nurtured from the top down. It CANNOT! Ignoring the youth, ignoring the working class rodeo athletes has resulted in what it is today.

A dying tree with a few fat cats trying to milk every last drop out of whatever fruit remains.

It’s no wonder amateur rodeo is suffering. They look to the PRCA for guidance and all they see it the old way of doing things. Add to that the fact that they don’t have the cash cow at the end of the rainbow like the PRCA has, in the form of the NFR, and it’s a miracle that they can survive at all.

That elephant in the room has been trying to wake the PRCA to its senses for some time… with no success. And now… It might be too late. With the success of “The American”… well… you can’t un-ring a bell and you can’t un-milk a cow.

THE

Wild Bunch Reunion Association

W

hen you hear the name Wild Bunch Reunion Association (WBRA), most likely your first thought is, “This is a wild bunch of cowboys and it is going to get western!” Well it is going to get western for sure, but not in the manner that you might think.

The Wild Bunch Reunion Association is indeed a group of cowboys, and cowgirls for that matter, and their goal is to get western, but get western in the sense that they are all totally committed to supporting ranching and agriculture and the western way of life.

The WBRA is a non-profit association that has been together now for three years. The association is dedicated to supporting youth and the promotion of rodeo and the betterment of education.

They work diligently in providing scholarships among New Mexico students involved in FFA, rodeo, ranching and agriculture. “We put this

organization together to help kids that have a passion for ranching and agriculture.” Said Martin Wellito, President of the WBRA. “We as an organization have a large group of members and supporters that are also passionate about ranching and agriculture and we want to make sure that there are resources available for students to continue on in the industry if they choose.”

For the past three years the WBRA has hosted their signature rodeo event, which had been held in Magdilina, NM. This year the event has moved to Socorro, NM. The rodeo takes place May 10th and 11th. The Wild Bunch Reunion Association Rodeo is two days of some great rodeo action and events that everyone can participate in from the kids to the entire family. The two day event is scheduled so that the first day, Saturday is focused on youth and the

second day, Sunday is more focused on adult events. “We have worked hard to make this event one that the whole family can get involved in.” Says Wellito. “We have events for the experienced rodeo contestants as well as events that families can participate together in also. That is what the western way of life is all about.

It’s about bringing families together, working hard and having fun while you are doing it.”

The WBRA remains on track with their mission and can be followed on Facebook or visit their webpage at www.wildbunchreunionassociation.com.

The association does appreciate fiscal donations and donations of your personal time and experience.

This is definitely a “Wild” bunch of cowboys and cowgirls and they are not going to slow down when it comes to their mission of supporting youth. So take the time to “Get Western” and get involved with their cause or their event.

Rough Stock contestants may walk up and enter one hour prior to the draw of the performance they want to enter.

In Memory of Carl Bradley an NMRA Approved Stock Contractor who passed away Feb. 20, 2014.

Carl Bradley started out his career with Edgar Wilson Rodeo Company working with him for over 25 years. For a short time after his experience with Edgar he worked for W/A Rodeo Company and then started his own company the 6X6 Rodeo Company in 1998. Carl successfully brought many new rodeos to the NMRA and was approved to have full stock contractor status in 2000. From 2000 to the time of his death Carl promoted NMRA rodeos and rodeos throughout the state. We would just like to say Thank You to Carl for all he did for the sport of rodeo and the NMRA. Our deepest sympathies to his family.

AIRCA’s Mission The all Indian Rodeo Association acknowledges our Indian and western heritage culture and tradition as we promote organized professional entertainment as rodeo. The AIRCA is the choice of champions for contestants, sponsors and fans throughout Indian country in the United States and Canada.

Established in 1957 AIRCA was inspired by visionary cowboys and cowgirls who embraced the values and traditions of sheepherder, ranchers, and farmers who lived freely on the open range of the Navajo Nation many years ago. The authenticity of their legacy is immortalized by AIRCA. The past 56 years is not only about humble beginnings, blazing a trail and endurance, but also about building a strong beacon of hope that helps preserve a way of life and soul of the Navajo Nation and Native America. In its 57th year AIRCA provides choice/opportunities to members.

The opportunity to gain an IIFR spot through wild card basic The opportunity for various championships throughout the season in at least 24 rodeos The opportunity for championship in the traditional year-end association standings The opportunity for championship in eleven events at IIFR in San Carlos Arizona The opportunity for participation in the annual awards celebrate banquet and dance And more i.e. community outreach work in partnership with health programs and partnerships with schools Believing in the words of our elders who said, “Self-esteem through livestock awareness, positive competition and rodeo championship develops wholesome individuals that lead to strong families that make strong Indian nations,” the oldest and largest organized Indian rodeo association also provides student scholarships to selected member(s) of the IJRA.

NM-1 2014 Super Race Weekend!

Warm weather and hot runs set the stage for the SWBRA NM1 District Finals in history March 14-16, 2014 in Farmington, New Mexico.

New records in times and payouts were set. First of all over $100,000 in cash and prizes went home over the weekend. Friday night was filled with fun and laughter with a pole bending jackpot, our second annual Wild 5 Barrel Race and our popular dog races. Arena Director Ben Eickert kept the pace steady Saturday morning with 99 members in the $9 finals open, 22 youth and 31 seniors with Falena Dale running the fastest time of a 17.086. Other finals buckle winners were Teri Taylor, Chanda Charlson and Renee Baird. Youth winners were Haley Wolfe,

Cierra LeFebre, Jaley Frame and Meygan McMillian.. Senior winners were Tammy Jaramillo, Shaun Woods, and OJ Kobza.. Team 2 each walked away with $100 and prizes regardless of their time and this is a fun tradition that gets everyone rooting for each other.

Year-end open winners got beautiful saddles. A huge thanks goes to David and Leanne Wolfe who sponsored the Youth 1D saddles. Winners got to choose from 8 different prize sets, which included all kinds of tack, and wood work. Shirely Pelot won the Senior Saddle , which this year was decided on by a drawing from all senior runners.Taking home open saddles were

Falena Dale, Naelyn Doyle, Olivia Morehouse and Esther Tom in the open and year-end youth winners were Meyghan McMillian, Cheyenne Poyer, Olivia Morehouse and Sesha HorseCapture. OJ Kobza won the incentive saddle.

The year-end Senior winners were Kathy Price, Tammy Jaramillo, Cindy,Haga and Diana Lanier. Cheyenne Poyer was named Rookie of the Year and we recognized the many helpers throughout the year that makes our district a great place to be.

Saturday night’s open race saw 146 open, VSA IN HOUSE PROOF CRX’D 37 youth and 30 senior entries with Aston Dale setting a new arena record with a winning the 1D with a 16..502 (the only one running in the 1D! and Becca Kenner, Cindy Oliver and

Stacey Radojits winning the other open divisions and also taking home more prizes. On Sunday morning we started running our 153 open, 39 youth and 34 senior entries. Haley Wolfe knew that arena record would be hard to beat so she and Mia just sent our there with a beautiful run and broke it with a 16.499. Other open winners were Alecia Ashton, Chanda Charlson and Cindy Haga. We had a first ever average pot and Ahston Dale walked away with those 1D honors and the other divisions were won by Kylie Gilbert, Chanda Charlson, and Sesha Horse-Capture. By the time the last barrel was turned on Sunday all the volunteers helped pack up in record time and by 4:00 pm almost everyone was on their way home. We want to thank everyone who pitched in to make this a great weekend. Our members are great at volunteering to help things run smoothly, knowing that 100% of our profits go back to our members in added money and prizes. We are truly a group with more commonalities than differences and we are lucky to be barrel racing in San Juan County! Complete results can be found at swbranm1.org

A Family Test

T

he word “friend” just might be the most overused word in the English language. The word has been diluted like watered wine, a bar drink, and the American dollar. Take for example a “Facebook friend.” How can someone you have never met, and wouldn’t recognize if you were stuck in an elevator together, be a friend? Obviously there are different levels of friendship.

There are fair weather friends, true blue friends and the aforementioned Facebook friends. Put your friendships to the test by selecting the appropriate answers to these questions.

1. You and your team roping partner, and best friend, have made it to the USTRC Finals and all you need to do is rope your last steer in less than nine seconds and you’ll each receive $110,000 plus a gooseneck trailer full of fabulous prizes. After you miss the heels your partner (a) Slaps you on the back and says, “Let’s go have a beer.” (b) Advertises in the next issue of SuperLooper for a new partner. (c) Slashes your ropes and your tires and says, “I never want to see you again.”

2. Your wife of 20 years leaves you for someone else. Your “friend” then asks (a) “Is there anything I can do?” (b) “When are you having the yard sale?” (c) “What’s her phone number?

She’s a real hottie!”

3. After your friend wins $550 million in the lottery he or she (a) Gives you a million or two. (b) Gives you a sermon on how it would destroy your friendship if any money was exchanged. (c) Invites you to a celebratory dinner at an expensive restaurant and makes you pick up the check.

4. You have hit rock bottom and are
