Top Cowboys Win Big Money Over Two Days of Roping

By Kristen Spinning

ade Corkill rode out of Tucson with his wallet almost $20,000 fuller from the 2010 Mike Cervi Jr. Memorial Pro Classic February 24. Along with header Jake Cooper, the pair maintained their precision and consistency over 5 steers to rack up the fastest overall time of 37.7 at Tucson Rodeo Arena . In addition to taking home custom Gist Buckles and beautifully tooled Running P saddles, they each got a check for $16,260.

Jake Cooper and Jade Corkill roped five head in 37.73 seconds to win $16,260 in cash and the title of the 2010 Mike Cervi Memorial Team Roping

The Cervi Memorial is held annual during the Tucson Rodeo. Its overwhelming popularity over the years forced producer George Aros to make it a two day event, with a Pre Roping and #15 WSTR on Tuesday to cut the number of teams competing in the main event on Wednesday. As a result, cowboys had two chances at big payoffs; something Jade and others took full advantage of. Jade heeled with Brit Williams at the Pre Roping, taking second with a 25.68 on 4 steers. Paying $3,600 a man, that edged Jade’s take home to the $20k mark for the two days. Jade and Jake weren’t the only ones making money. Luke Brown and Paul Eaves added their fourth place winnings of

$4,065 each on Wednesday to their Tuesday first place payoff of $5,040 per man. The pair took top honors in the Pre Roping with 25.4 on 4 steers. Luke, with heeler Martin Lucero took 3rd on Wednesday for an additional $8,130. That made a total for Luke $14?? Tucson’s pattern of rainstorms had organizers crossing fingers, toes and everything else that the weather would be OK. It must have worked, because Tuesday dawned bright and clear, and the weather both days proved to be perfect. The Pre Roping was held in Marana at the Western Heritage arena after slack. One hundred

Competitorial M

ore than fifteen years ago, I sat at keyboard and wrote my very first editorial. It would be placed, in what was the very first issue of The Competitor, and I have to admit that I had no idea what I was doing at the time. I had graduated some ten years earlier from NMSU with a degree in Animal Science and Biology, and spent most of the decade that followed in Arizona, managing cattle ranches…which is another way of saying that I had no idea what I was doing when it came to publishing a newspaper. When I ventured off down this path, my objectives were pretty simple; provide a publication that served as the source of information for those addicted to rodeo, team roping and barrel racing…and hopefully scratch out a living in the process. It wasn’t long before I realized something unexpected. That the words I write in this publication and especially in this column carried with it a special responsibility. By default, really, it was a responsibility bestowed upon me by the readership to keep things in check; that is, affect the delicate balance between producer and all those who put up their entry fee with an expectation of fair competition. It was not a position I had any intention of holding, but I nonetheless humbly accepted it, understanding fully the complications that accompany it. The complications stem from the fact that 80% of the revenue generated from this publication, is the direct result of advertising, and about half of that comes from advertising events. You can see how this might affect the objectivity of one’s

viewpoint. Bringing attention to, or calling out any producer who operates in the margins of fairness (or outside them) directly affects the bottom line. That said, it’s never been a tough decision for me. Compromising what is right for the sake of selling another ad or two…well…that’s pretty close to prostitution the way I see it. In addition, some of those who blazed the path before me had set noble examples of how to do it the right way. Men like Jim Shepard (The A ll A round), who I greatly respect, as well as Bob Feist (Ropers Sports News), who…well….is Bob Feist, always embraced their role to call things as they saw them…without compromise. Over the years, I’ve ruffled more than a few feathers among producers and contestants alike…but it has never been personal. Oddly…and I admit I think it’s kind of funny…most of those who feel they were called out in this column, weren’t called out at all. They simply thought they were based on the general context of my pontification…coupled with their own guilty conscious. But “hey….if the shoe fits…..” As long-winded as this is, it’s important the set the background for the current situation. A couple of months ago, in this column, I responded to dozens of inquiries over the previous weeks from team ropers who were wondering why the heck Denny Gentry was implementing a new handicap system to use exclusively at his “World Series” events. I included what I thought was the obvious explanation for the move…plain and simple. I knew at the onset it would be a “toxic”

topic, but it was one that could not be ignored, and doing so was akin to trying to ignore the 8-ton elephant in the room. Of course it brought about a hailstorm of feedback from readers, not one of which disagreed with my conclusions, but many of which sought to voice their own opinions…and certainly called for further commentary….which I provided in last month’s column. Apparently, Denny liked neither the original column nor the follow up. He never contacted me directly, most likely knowing that I’m one of the few who are impervious to his impeccable powers of persuasion, and most certainly knowing that my viewpoints are NOT for sale. However, he did spend some effort contacting those who he perceived to have influence over me, to basically get me to… shut up! Fortunately for me, he did not get to my wife…since she’s really the only one who can get me to do something against my will. The effort did not surprise me, but what happened next did. As coincidence…or maybe not coincidence…would have it, Troy Shelly, who produces a number of World Series events called and said he was cancelling his advertising for his upcoming events because he did not like what was written about Denny and the World Series. Now I have no idea of knowing if Denny had a hand in it, but it’s more than just a little suspicious. Troy and I, and our families, have been friends for a long time… I like Troy. That said, it’s possible he was put in a VERY difficult position and asking him if he had been coerced into pulling his advertising seemed as though it was only putting him a worse position…so I did not ask him if that was the case. However, if it was…”Shame on you Denny Gentry”…for jeopardizing the

Top Cowboys Win Big Money Over Two Days of Roping twenty teams entered, chasing a total payout of $29,000. Wednesday, action returned to the Tucson Rodeo Grounds, where spectators were treated to team roping at its finest. Ninety teams of the best ropers from around the country delighted the fans at this legendary arena. A number of young hopefuls showed their metal throughout the competition as well. The steers were extra strong, fresh, and very even, demanding the ropers bring their best game. The crowd

appreciated the skill on display as they cheered a great catch, and collectively felt the anguish of a miss. During a break in the action, competitors and spectators alike got an arena demonstration by Heel-O-Matic. Excitement mounted at the arena with teams recording some blistering runs. Kaleb Driggers and Adam Pyler got the flag at 6.27 for $1,000 each of Round 2 money. Clay Tryan and Patrick Smith turned in a 6.68 in the Shortgo for a couple of $1,000

checks. As top teams fell victim to either a barrier or a missed leg, the leader board changed throughout the day, but it was consistency that brought fifteen teams to the finals. The action in the last round kept everyone on the edge of their seats, as it came down to the last few spectacular runs. Not until the very last loop was thrown, was it sure that Jake Cooper would repeat his continued on page 4

success of one of your own producers for the sake of personal vengeance. As far as Troy goes, I want to make everyone aware of these events to be held April 9-10 and on May 7, in Las Cruces, NM. I hope he has a great turn out. Losing advertising revenue is not nearly as important to me as the efforts in play trying to prevent me from doing what the readers of this publication expect from me….I WILL NOT be coerced! This is not personal with regards to Denny. I worked for Denny for many years as editor of SuperLooper Magazine. If I had some axe to grind with Denny, I have enough personal experiences and literally boxes of old USTRC data from which I could fill a monthly column from now, until the end of time. Nor is it about the World Series Productions. I encourage you all to look back at the last two Competitorials and decide for yourself if there was any “World Series” bashing.

SCS World Finals pays out $150K

opers from around the nation left the Southern Championship Series World Finals on Feb. 26-28 loaded with $157,200 cash, along with tooled leather rope bags, halters and breastcollars. Nearly 1,500 teams came to play at the three-day event at Dunnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Arena in Litchfield Park, Ariz., which kicked off with a $2,000-added Open roping that drew a hefty 50 teams and paid winners Erich Rogers and Brady Minor $4,720 for their five-head total of 32.75 seconds. Coleman Proctor had a great day, winning second in the Open with Caleb Twisselman and turning around to win the #15 with Adam Rose on a four-head time of 26.17. Proctor, who owns the fast-time record (4.4 seconds) at the Bob Feist Invitational, headed back to the rodeo trail with $3,310 total. Miles Payne double-dipped Friday, too, winning first and second in the #13 with Brandon Mecham and Ricky Kee to pad his pockets with $2,400, while Martin Rucker and Dayton Stafford took top honors in the #12 preliminary with a 32.47 for $2,820. The Pro-Am Shootout was all about Ty Romo, who heeled four in 32.41 for Tom Richards to win it, and also placed third with Bryce Palmer to pad his pockets with $4,985 on the day. West Coast cowgirl Barbara Kenny was on fire all weekend. She jumped out and won the #11 preliminary with Dace Woods for $1,705 a man, placed third in the Over-

40 roping with Richard Glassford for $825 each and then won the Amateur Shootout with Leo Woodbury for a cool $3,895 apiece. Her haul on Saturday was $6,425 cash, plus a tooled rope bag and breastcollar. Bruce Northrop and Bill Dahlke won the #10 to split $4,200 and advance to the Shootout, where they placed third for another $4,110. The Over-40 roping was won by Leo Teague and Jerry Satterfield for $3,820. Jerry then placed third in the Shootout with Doyle Morrison for $4,560. On Sunday, the ladies kicked things off with a win in the All-Girl by Tamara Thomas and Samantha Taylor, followed by #9 winners Macy Fuller and Aaron Semas, who earned $3,900 and advanced to the Novice Shootout, where they placed fifth for another $1,690, plus a fast-time prize of $320. Sean Doherty and Scott Jamison won the #8 Pick-and-Draw for $3,070, with Jamison nabbing another $1,580 with Barrett Littell for third. The richest roping of the weekend turned out to be the Novice Shootout on Sunday, which paid out $24,400 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; for fees of just $80 a man. Bob Rice had a Shootout but was short a partner, so the entry office matched him with JJ Butler, and the pair roped four steers in 33.11 seconds to split a whopping $8,670.

Peek Is The World Champion!

Colorado’s Josh Peek Finally Gets the Gold Buckle!

dversity doesn’t stop Josh Peek of Pueblo, Colo. It never has. A year ago, Peek was leading the Wrangler Timed Event Championship of the World at the Lazy E Arena with one run left. He took a 60-second time in the steer roping, the equivalent of a no-time at the WTEC, and dropped to a fourth place finish. On Sunday, he was again leading the average with one run remaining. This time, the 30yearold tied his steer down in 18.4 seconds to clinch the title of 2010 Wrangler Timed Event Champion of the World with 15.2 on 25 runs. He is the 11th man to win the title in the 26 years of the WTEC. In addition to winning $50,000 for the average, Peek, the two-time PRCA Reserve All-Around World Champion, placed twice in the fast rounds and exited the Lazy E Arena this weekend with $58,000. “I was more prepared this year,” he said. “Before I got here, I believed I was going to win.” Again, he’s faced adversity before. When Peek was 9 years old an old nail pierced

the skin of his right foot. In a lot of cases, the story might have ended with tetanus shot. But Peek had stepped on this nail while in a pig pen. The child would undergo four surgeries, almost lose his foot and spend about a month in the hospital. In that span he would be given some antibiotics and that’s what he’s told induced epilepsy. That didn’t stop him. “Without adversity, you’ll never achieve success,” he said Sunday. “There will always be road bumps and you’ll need the Lord and your family, but you also have to believe in yourself.” The WTEC annually takes 20 of the world’s toughest cowboys to battle the clock and tests their talents in a marathon of team roping - heading and heeling, tie-down roping, steer wrestling and steer roping over five rounds for a share of a $150,000 total purse. Peek went to the lead in the third round on the 14th run of the weekend. However, on the 19th run a fast running draw led to a 27.5 in the steer wrestling. He would end the fourth go in second place. In the fifth round, Peek

dropped to third. The team roping - heeling shuffled the deck as K.C. Jones of Burlington, Wyo., a four-time WTEC Champion, dropped to third. Trevor Brazile of Decatur, Texas, the six-time WTEC Champion, moved to the lead in the average and Peek went to second after 23 head. In the steer wrestling, Brazile had a tough steer, suffering a 60-second time. So, Peek tossed his draw in 4.1 seconds for 296.8 on 24 and the lead, with one run remaining. Jones was second. In the steer roping, Jones was 18-seconds for 343.0 on 25. Peek needed to be 46.1 for the win and was 18.4. Jones finished second in the average for $25,000, while Jo Jo Lemond was third at 358.3 seconds for $15,000. Brazile claimed fourth with 364.9 for $10,000 and fifth was Chance Kelton of Mayer, Ariz., 367.6 for $7,500. Kelton also had the fastest round with 48 seconds in the second go for and additional $10,000. Not long into Sunday’s action, fans witnessed something never before done at the

WTEC 2010 Highlights Josh Peek - Winning $58,000 gave him a cumulative Timed Event earnings total $79,500 for three years. K.C. Jones - Winning $25,000 gives him $388,500 in total money won for 19 years. Trevor Brazile - Winning $15,000 gives him $579,500 in total money won for 15 years.

Clay White & Trevor Carrasco Claim PTR World Finals Championship!

he Mojave Crossing Events Center and AVI Casino and Resort rolled out the red carpet for the PTR World Finals and all its contestants on February 26-27. The PTR had teams entered from 17 different states as contestants traveled from all over to run at the exception PTR payouts. Clay White and Trevor Carrasco took home the coveted PTR World Finals Championship which paid them $40,000, Fully Tooled Trophy Saddles, World Championship Rings, and Trophy Rope Bags from Classic Ropes. Clay and Trevor came from the 15th call back to claim the championship with a total time of 35.74 on 4 head. Clay and Trevor took advantage of the best draw in the short round posting a six second run and putting pressure on the teams at the top. Nonetheless, there were plenty of teams in the top 10 that had great chances of claiming the title but ran into bad luck, including the high call team from Texas who had 13 seconds to win the roping but took a no time. One man that didn’t run into bad luck was Russell Hild of South Texas. Russell came to the short round with 3, yes 3 call backs in the top ten. After all was said and done Russell claimed the second place title with fellow Texas native Randy Cotter. The Texas duo filled their pockets with $24,000, Trophy Gold Buckles, Trophy Classic Equine Show Blankets, and Trophy Rope Bags. Russell also claimed fourth place with California native Bryan Bobsin. The fourth place spot was worth the tune of another $11,000. Rounding out the top three was Connie Hiatt of Red Bluff, CA partnering with Jeff Bowers of Creswell, Oregon. Connie and Jeff roped their four steers in 37.83 seconds to claim $16,000, Trophy Best Ever Pads, Trophy Rope Bags and Jackets. Connie also claimed the 3-steer average title with Jim Richards of New Mexico. Connie and Jim recorded a total time of 23.29 on 3 head to claim the title. As many already know, the PTR gives teams the outstanding opportunity to qualify for the World Finals on Reduced and Free entry fees. The field at the World Finals was split nearly half and half on Direct Entries and qualified entries. For those teams that did qualify on a reduced entry fee, that was quite a deal. To have the opportunity to run a $200,000 purse between 120 teams on a reduced entry fee is exceptional. Even for the teams that directly entered, entry fees are only half of other major high stakes ropings. On Friday February 26, the PTR conducted their warm up roping at the World Finals. This roping paid out $40,000! That is exceptional for a warm up roping of 135 teams. Champions of the warm up roping were Jack Sparrowk and Cody Parker who took home $8,000 for the big win. The warm up roping paid seven monies in the average and three monies in the first go round. The winners of the first round were Scott Hutchins and Jorge Martinez earning them $2,000. Anytime you can have a warm up roping that pays out $40,000 between 135 teams and a go round win that will pay $2,000, that’s an impressive warm up roping! The PTR looks to really build on a great World Finals. The first step is adding a #9 division in the 2010 season. At all PTR qualifiers in 2010 there will be two

roper would like to enter but does not have a partner, then they may draw one. In 2010 the PTR will conduct a majority of our qualifiers in the West and Southwest regions. California will host four qualifiers, while Arizona will host three, New Mexico two and Texas one. This way the PTR can concentrate on the locations that are centrally located around the World Finals location. We hope all of you will be able to attend PTR qualifiers in 2010.

Eddie built a Eddie’s death. Even after Eddie’s death, his little a-frame building on Victoria’s parents spirit still lives on in Victoria and many land there in town where it had fairly good others as well. As a young married couple, they soon set visibility. From that humble beginning the famed Los Dos Molinos restaurants sprang. out for Phoenix where Eddie worked in Now there are five different Los Dos construction. Like most young married Molinos locations including three in the folks, they had big plans and dreams. Eddie and Victoria were no strangers to hard work, Phoenix area, one in New York City and of course the original in Springerville. The and hard work is what they both got for a long time to come.

Back when they were first starting out, the Chaves’s raised chickens, sheep, goats, pigs, and even had a milk cow just so that they could survive. They raised as much of their own food as possible because money wasA always tight. But even later on in life when Eddie could afford just about anything that he wanted, he still raised animals.

up old family heirlooms and restoring them. As a matter of fact, that is how the Los Dos Molinos restaurants got their name. One day when Eddie and Victoria were working on their original little place before it was opened, they ask each other “well what are we going to call our new restaurant?” There just happened to be a couple of old chili grinders setting there that Eddie had brought out for decorations. One was from his old family ranch and the other from hers. They looked at each other and then at the old family grinders or Molinos as they are called in Spanish and they knew that they had their answer. Thus the Los Dos Molinos (or The Two Grinders) name came about. Victoria says that they were always grinding it out! Eddie was also a very good natured fellow. He was constantly kidding and joking about. I guess that having a good

Eddie was also very passionate about fixing old things up and he loved the history behind them. At the time of his death, Eddie had quite a collection of antique cars that he had remodeled.

attitude helps to beat the trials and tribulations of having to overcome such hardships as they endured. Through all of financial slow times, tragedies and other struggles, Eddie and Victoria kept good attitudes. They were the same good natured and down to earth people later in life as the head of the Los Dos Molinos restaurants legend as they were when born on the little old desolate ranches in the high country rangelands. All along the roadway of life, Eddie Chaves was a hard working country kid that never forgot his roots. He and his family were dealt major tragedies a few times, but they just kept on fighting. In the end, Eddie was proud of the legacy that he left for his family. And as far as I’m concerned Eddie Chaves was a classic example of someone who lived the American Dream and had it come true. Born a pauper and died a king…that was Eddie Chaves.

Rattler’s GT4 Rope Kicks Off 2010 with Success Ropers Win over $100,000 with the GT4 Since the New Year

he results are in and the GT4 rope from Rattler is proving to be a victorious choice for team ropers. According to team roping results from some of the biggest rodeos and ropings since the New Year, the GT4 is kicking off 2010 with a successful start. The GT4 has been used by some of the nation’s top team ropers to win in excess of $100,000 so far this year. Heelers Travis Graves, Randon Adams, Brad Culpepper and Paul Eaves are just a few of the top ropers that have had success with the GT4. Graves alone has won over $80,000 with the GT4 since the beginning of the year. He heeled his way to $50,000, winning the championship at the “Wildfire Open to the World” team roping in February. That’s not the only success he’s had with the rope, he also won the “Heart of Texas Championships” USTRC team roping in Waco, Texas and the Black Hills Stock Show and Rodeo in Rapid City, South Dakota. While Graves placed second at the Denver National Stock Show and Rodeo, Culpepper used the GT4 to take home the team roping title from the big Denver, Colorado, rodeo. Graves explained that he likes the feel of the GT4 because he’s in control to put the bottom on the ground. “It has a balanced feel and always stays open. I really like the weight also,” said Graves. He said it’s the most consistent rope he’s used and that he’s never gotten a bad rope. “They are always the same,” said Graves. Adams took first place at the Sandhills Stock Show and Rodeo in Odessa, Texas, while Eaves heeled his way to victory to win the final round and team roping average at the Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo. Eaves has only been using the GT4 for about a month and has already won $17,000 with the rope. Eaves professed that he “loves” the GT4 and thinks it’s the best feeling rope out there. He likes it because it has so much body and feel. “No matter what the weather is, it feels great. Hot, humid or cold, it always feels great.” said Eaves. “The rope lasts a really long time.” The GT4 from Rattler is built for consistency and durability. It’s a four-strand rope that’s easy to handle with lots of body, meaning a larger loop that stays open longer. For further information or to find a retailer, visit www.rattlerrope.com.

World Series News and Notes San Antonio Qualifier Cancelled! Circle T Replacement TBA The San Antonio Qualifier that had been scheduled for March has been cancelled due to scheduling conflicts. During the Denton qualifier announcements were made that the replacement roping would be the same weekend at Circle T Arena in Hamilton. That announcement was premature. There will be a make up qualifier scheduled at Circle T , but no date has been selected at this time. Please watch this website for announcements concerning this roping.

Classifications Report! As of February 23, Arkie has now classified over 2,000 and if our estimate is right we should be well past the halfway mark. The percentages are holding close to where they have been all along with 7 to 8% plus numbers ( borderliners). Full number changes are less than 1%. We did not have to refund any unhappy customers

since the end of January so I guess February has been a little better month. We are expecting the number of plus ropers to increase a little this month. USTRC about three weeks ago started lowering a bunch of numbers, and of course, if they were lowered by USTRC they are demanding we give them a chance also. Stay tuned I will let you know how that turns out. We are starting to raise a few ropers that wanted a chance, wanted a break, then promply went out an proved why they had higher numbers. No doubt the old bull will start - “if you win they move your number”. But please spare us the BS, everyone that was lowered to a plus was given the “warning speech”. Others that weren’t lowered, were just flat wrong. (biggest group going up, 6 plus) Had over twenty phone calls on the same six guys at Buckeye. This was a little unusual, normally only see one or two ropers at any given roping that we feel need a little nudge. We are getting calls from tied-on heelers

Located in one of the most secluded and lush areas in Tucson, this ranch estate has been in the same family for more than 30 years and has just now become available. Professionally landscaped grounds surround the home with mature trees, rose gardens, extensive lighting, automatic irrigation and fruit orchards. Proximity to shopping conveniences but extreme seclusion makes this home a unique opportunity. There are endless horse trails to be explored but one doesn’t have to leave the house to watch the deer, javelina, hawks, owls, quail, fox and bobcats as this ranch provides water and refuge for these and many other native animals.

Way to go, Mother Nature! Big thanks for everyone’s support! There were a total of 170 riders running at a payout of $6,800.00 over the weekend. The winners of checks and everyone else who likes to shop were able to spend their money with several vendors on the property. Thanks to Flash That Bling (Lynell LaRue), ActionPlus Photography (Randal & Dwight), Interval Timing Systems (Diane & Jerry Kendrick), Farm Bureau Insurance (Rebecca Porter), Naturapathic Medical Physician (Eric Cerre), Static Couture Boutique (Shanna) and Synergy Complete (Licia Paige) The crew at HPEC did a fantastic job in getting the facility ready for this two day barrel race. The grounds are meticulous upon arrival and with the help of the NBHA crew was left the same way. Pete Hunt, our Gate Guy and the Barrel Setters, Ellen Hunt, Courtney Morris, Mr. Morris; Madison Hunt and a friend worked the “out” gate! Crystal Poteet kept the arena rolling along as our announcer.

think it’s the best incentive yet for leading a crime-free life. The inmates say they have developed a host of medical maladies as a result of all the soy, including heart problems, arterial blockages and irritable bowel syndrome. They seem particularly upset about the fact that the soy-based diet has increased the level of flatulence. And when you live in such close quarters that’s a very big deal!

Do you remember as a child when there was something you didn’t like on your plate, and all the tricks you used to try to make your mom think you deserved dessert? Like the napkin drop I perfected. After much practice I was able to drop a paper napkin from my mouth so that it covered every last lima bean on my plate. Interestingly, at the party I saw the same tricks being pulled. One guy hid his heaping portion of fresh pea mint hash under the skin of his organic baked potato with such skill that it might even have fooled my mom. There were three vegetarians at the dinner party, a much higher percentage than exist in the general population. They pouted every time a dish was announced that might appeal to us flesh-eating barbarians. My wife and I introduced our dish as follows: “We brought beef. It came from a steer. His name was Harold. We barbecued it. You cook it on one side and then you turn it over. Then you eat it.” And did they ever! The amazing thing was the vegetarians even ate the beef. “I thought you didn’t believe in eating anything that once had a face?” I asked one of the veg heads. ”I have recently transitioned to become a Flexitarian,” she replied. “That sounds like a political party or a new religion,” I said of the new species. “Does this mean you are no longer a vegetarian?” “Oh no, I am still a vegetarian,” she said, “but I allow myself to eat meat if it was raised in a sustainable manner.” I know some inmates in Illinois who would sure like to become Flexitarians. Or, as I prefer to think of them... recovering vegetarian born-again carnivores. www.LeePittsbooks.com

The US Cavalry Remount Legacy

I was at an event recently and saw a flag given that raised questions in my mind. I want to know if, in your opinion, this is technically correct. I wouldn’t have noticed it if I had not been standing in such a perfect position to view it. I don’t think anyone else noticed, but the flagger. I saw a clean flag given to a heeler (this may be hard to describe); his loop went around one leg and between the toes of the other foot. Essentially he had a leg and a half. They were tight and faced and everything else was solid. Thanks for your insight. Marcus, It is not a leg and a half, a toe that secures the leg is considered a leg. This particular run would be considered a two-foot catch. A flagger needs to always be alert to any and all situations that arise in the arena. On the same hand, the team needs to hold the steer for the teams benefit, and also for the flagger to see that the leg (legs) are secured. This situation is one not seen very often. If the team believes their catch is questionable, they need to hold their steer after the flag has been dropped. I personally have seen a heeler catch a steer by one toe and flagged it as a leg. Thank you for your insight to our sport Marcus, I hope this answers your question. I Believe “One Nation under God” Philip Murrah Pauls Valley, Oklahoma Thanks for the question Marcus.

othing can equal the thrill of riding a horse running so fast your eyes water and your hair feels as if it’s leaving your head. If it’s a race and you and the horse are passing all the others the thrill is, of course, quadrupled. An almost equal thrill comes with riding a fast horse in barrel racing, pole bending or any other arena event. Then, if the horse stops or turns with just a touch, you’ve really got some excitement under you. That’s just my opinion, but I bet plenty of others share it. In New Mexico and other Southwestern states, we arguably have more than our share of those talented horses. We owe it to the US Cavalry Remount Program, which brought highpowered, usually retired, champion Thoroughbred racing stallions to selected ranches. The ranchers bred their mares to those stallions, and the Cavalry officers purchased offspring that met their criteria. The ranchers were allowed to keep horses not chosen. Records indicate about 75 percent of the resultant foals were purchased by the Army. Within the 25 percent of foals not chosen are descendants that make New Mexico Bred horses (meaning both sire and dam live in New Mexico) exceptional at the track and in the rodeo and roping arenas. Major General Hugh Scott, US Army Chief of Staff, in a New York Times story published in 1915 said, “A cavalry remount should be a horse of 15.2 to 16 hands (a hand is four inches) with one-half to three-quarters of pure blood in his veins. He should have the feet and legs to cover any country. Horses of this type

should have the courage to endure any hardship. Only the horses of the greatest courage and stamina can stand the requirements of cavalry work in a great many sections of the United States, particularly in the Southwest and South.” He added, “Speed is another qualification…I prefer the thoroughbred above all others.” He noted, “We need 2,000 cavalry remounts every year and a great many more in emergency.” The cavalry had definite parameters regarding chosen horses’ color. Sorrel or chestnut was preferred, but now and then a grulla or dark gray was chosen. A paint horse was an absolute no-no. For several years a grandson of Man O’War stood at a ranch near us. A speedy little paint mare sorta accidentally got with that stud. Her colt, of course, was a paint, which the cavalry didn’t want. My dad bought that paint colt. He was injured in a cattleguard at a young age, but he overcame that injury and was super fast anyway. His name was Chapo (means “Shorty”) because he stood only about 14.2 hands. He was my best barrel racing horse. I gave up telling people about his breeding, because they didn’t believe me. Their minds couldn’t wrap around a Man O’War great-grandson in a rodeo arena. By 1948 the Army had become mostly mechanized, and the US Cavalry Remount program was discontinued. Sixty-two years later, our ranch horses still embody that illustrious legacy.
