Competitorial “When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation…”

These are words that I hear just about every day, recited to me by my ten-year-old daughter.

Over a year ago, she had an assignment to learn and be able to recite the opening words of the Declaration of Independence. I have to say, it’s pretty impressive…and humbling. Once she was able to do it, I just made it a regular part of our day… and so I’ve probably heard it a few hundred times over the past couple of years. I often think about those first 274 words as she says them, and wonder how many of our elected officials could even recite the first 71 words quoted above… not many, I expect.

Now just to be clear, I am not a part of ANY political activist group, Tea Party or otherwise, nor am I any kind of anarchist. But, I do have some ideas about things that, as time goes by, are gaining in strength. Oddly… or maybe it’s not odd at all… those ideas are strengthened every day as I hear those first 274 words

recited to me.

Given current happenings and circumstances, I feel compelled to break from the normal dialog of this column and throw in my two cents worth of opinion regarding the brouhaha between Nevada cattle rancher, Cliven Bundy and the BLM, i.e. the federal government.

Having been in that business for several years, and having dealt with the BLM extensively, there is no doubt I have a bias in favor of Mr. Bundy. Anyone who has dealt much with the BLM, Forest Service, or State Land Department, generally comes away with the same perception regarding these agencies and grazing rights. For the most part, I have found that their representatives are either erudites or just plain stupid… and with the full force of the government behind them… they are almost always aggravatingly smug. Frankly, I’m surprised more of them don’t receive the ass-kickin’ their behavior warrants.

It seems the crux of the argument is whether or not Mr. Bundy has broken the law. Of course the BLM says he has and Mr. Bundy says he has not. I’m afraid that Mr. Bundy most likely HAS broken the law, continued on page 60

Irwin’s Record-Tying Run Brings RNCFR Title

T

he stars of the PRCA aligned Saturday night at the Ram National Circuit Finals Rodeo and none shone brighter than steer wrestler Kyle Irwin.

The Robertsdale, Ala., cowboy clocked a record-tying time of 3.3 seconds to capture his first RNCFR national championship Saturday night at the historic Lazy E Arena.

“This does good things to your confidence and makes the banker really happy,” said Irwin, who pocketed $5,484 for the finals victory and $9,323 overall.

Irwin’s time tied the RNCFR record set by Stockton Graves in Oklahoma City three years ago.

“I’ve been 3.1 and 3.2 before at rodeos, but 3.3 is nothing to be ashamed of,” said Irwin, 23. “I was going for broke. The guys you are up against here in this deal, in sudden death ... you have to go fast because they bulldog great. I knew I was first out and I could set the bar and I knew I could be fast on that steer. This is the highlight of my career.”

In addition to the money the national champions won on Saturday night they also each received a $20,000 voucher towards a Ram vehicle, a Montana Silversmith buckle, boots and a saddle.

While Irwin left no doubt he was the champion, two events - bareback riding and saddle bronc riding - had to be decided in a tie-breaker.

Caleb Bennett edged out four-time World Champion Bobby Mote and Joe Gunderson for the bareback riding title.

All three cowboys scored 84 points in the finals, but Bennett was awarded the coveted crown because he won the semifinals with an 84-point ride.

“I don’t think this has sunk in yet,”

Sherwood & Summers Rope $265,800 at George Strait Team Roping Classic Country music legend and GSTRC producer George Strait welcomes the top 50 teams and a sellout crowd to Saturday’s finals.

THE

ALL-AROUND

Heeler Clint Summers (left) and header Matt Sherwood (second from right) roped and stretched their final steer in 5.41— ultimately good for the victory and a split of $265,800 trucks, trailers, round money and a host of other prizes.

this year, when he won the Cervi Roping down in Case Grande, Ariz., which was a big confidence booster.

So, he entered the GSTRC for about the 16th time, and roped with Buddy Hawkins, Bucky Campbell and of course Clint Summers, who he had roped with this past winter.

Meanwhile, Summers, a true young gun who just joined the PRCA in 2012 has some rodeo wins to his credit, but was still after the “big catch”. However, he was already a GSTRC veteran also, having roped there for the first time at the ripe old age of 16 (winning second in the round with Kaleb Driggers).

This year, he roped with Tate Kirchenschlager, Kyle Lawrence and Matt Sherwood.

Although they each made some good, and not so good, runs with their other partners, things really clicked with the Sherwood/Summers combination; they were just getting warmed up Friday when they won fast time overall (4.54), good for $1,500 and some trophy buckles. Additionally, they qualified in the rotations to make it back to Saturday’s finals.

With the rotation format, strategy is important.

“You have to be aggressive, because they only take the top five on two head per rotation. You may see a 13 (second run) make it back, where an 11.6 won’t; the rotation format really changed things. It makes you want to force being fast when you don’t need to be, and you see guys rope really good who don’t make it back,” he continued. “So my strategy was to score good, because these steers didn’t start really good, and then be aggressive without overdoing it.”

Likewise, Summers said it’s tough; staying focused was key.

“You may rope in the second rotation, then not until the eighth rotation, so there’s lots of time in between to try to keep focused. It’s a big deal,” he continued. “I just tried to keep my mind on ropin’, and watch the steers to see if they were getting better or worse, just to see what I needed to do.”

Their approach paid off—literally. They each ended up

winning the biggest roping of their lives, and still can’t honestly believe it.

“Saturday it became really mental how to play it, you think how you may never be in this situation again and think maybe I should really go at him and force it,” Sherwood said. “But when I rode in the box several guys told me our steer was the best in there; he wasn’t slow but he wouldn’t outrun you either.

He was a dandy. I just made sure I scored and got out and he loped out there. It was such a good short round steer.”

Sherwood also felt the cattle played a big role in the outcome—which isn’t uncommon.

“We were a long 16 (seconds) on three, and in previous years 14s or 15s (second runs) have won it,” Sherwood said. “We were fortunate to win with the longer time. The steers didn’t start or handle real well, they were really fresh.

Some of the best guys in the world didn’t make it back, and I think the tougher cattle contributed to the easier times making it back,” he added.

Good horsepower is always essential, and both champs were aboard horses they trained themselves and have owned since they were two-year-old colts or younger. In fact, “Nick”, Sherwood’s 20-year-old sorrel gelding (a Three Bars/Leo bred) has been with him since he was 18 months, and is the only one Sherwood has refused to sell for a reason.

“He’s such a good horse, he’ll work in any setup, he scores, he’s soft in the corner which is perfect because these steers handled tough. Then we roped right afterwards at Houston in opposite conditions and he did great there too,” he added.

Summers rode his 10-year-old buckskin gelding “Bucky”

(Peppy San Badger/Cal Bar bred) who is also an ace in any circumstance. Summers got Bucky when he was a 2year-old, after going to try another finished horse.

“Baby” Bucky was tied to the rail, but ever since he was a kid, Summers wanted a buckskin. Although his dad said they didn’t need any more colts, Summers made a deal with the man to try him and see if he would work.

“He got better and better and better, I actually used him at the US Open when he was a 3-year-old. He’s just awesome, he’s not the fastest, but he won’t run by and he’ll give you the same shot every time,” he said.

George & the GSTRC give back in big ways George is widely known for tirelessly promoting the sport of team roping and constantly striving to offer more.

But the prize pot isn’t the only giving each year; the GSTRC once again teamed up with the “Wounded Warriors” and gave away another home to a deserving hero and his family. This year’s recipient was Sergeant First Class Christopher Livesay, retired US Army.

Additionally, the tradition of auctioning off the custom autographed Priefert chute continued, with proceeds going to the Justin Cowboy Crisis Fund to aid injured cowboys.

As usual, George was the winning bidder, but donated the chute back for another round of bidding. Ben Hatch was the proud new owner, and grand total over $12,000 went to the fund.

And, long-time sponsor Wayne Wright Lawyers sponsored a drawing; the winner received $1,000 with $1,000 also going to the charity of their choice.

Unsung heroes Much of the GSTRC staff has been with the production for years. It takes the help and dedication of the folks behind the scenes to pull off such a massive production.

Arena staff includes: Collie Webb (arena director, 32 years); Johnny Garcia (flagger, over 25 years); J.W. Parr, Tommy Shelton, Eric Buell, Bolivar Bledsoe, Roscoe Thomas, and Steven Tarr.

Office/production staff: The Strait family (32 years); Linda Scales (executive assistant); Arkie Kiehne (announcer) and Vicky Mounyo, Kelsi Mounyo, Lynette Fish, Linda Davis; Reed Flake; Ebie McFarland (publicist); and photos by Terry Calonge, Anita O’Brian, Kelley May. Rose Palace staff: Don Jones (manager); Mary Ebensberger, Frederico Palacios, Max Benoit, Alex Diaz (printing). Sponsors: Danny O’Brian (Nashville).

changer”—and it is.

Both Sherwood and Summers tentatively plan to invest most of their earnings, and use it very wisely, considering the blessing it is. As for the new rigs, the usual funny stories surfaced about the exciting drive home in the custom Strait rigs. Summers, a buddy and a cousin drove his rig home; ladies were pulling up beside them taking pictures of “George.”

“And my buddy and cousin were rolling down the windows taking pictures of them!” Summers laughed.

Sherwood had to go straight to the rodeo in Houston, so his wife Kim drove the rig home. In the coming days, the new dually got “initiated”. His older kids were driving and a similar incident occurred where a curious driver tried to pass to get a look at who was in the truck; at the same time the kids were trying to switch lanes. A “slight accident” occurred; Sherwood learned of it “later” through a surprise call from the insurance agent. But no worries—damage was minor, with repairs underway.

Winners don’t reach the top by themselves, and both men

wished to thank their sponsors. For Sherwood, that includes Cactus Ropes, Cinch Jeans and Shirts, and Burns Saddlery in Utah. For Summers, the support crew includes Wrangler, Classic Ropes, Martin Saddlery, Tres Rios Silver, Diamond W Cattle, and a big thank you to mom and dad.

And last but not least, both champs thank George and the GSTRC crew.

“This ropin’ is awesome,” Summers said. “I hope George keeps it up and keeps giving ropers a chance to win something like this. It really helps us and we really appreciate it and realize it takes a lot of time, money and effort.”

And speaking of George, Summers wanted to share a cool story that makes this victory even sweeter.

“My family still has a cassette tape of the GSTRC roping back in 1987 or ’88. As a little kid, I would lie on the couch at the family business and watch that tape over and over and over, and George was heeling in this tape. Or, I’d stay home sick from school and watch that tape some more,” he laughed. “I always wanted to win this ropin’, and it’s pretty cool to realize I did.”

Not only a “Name Changer” it’s a “Game Changer”

T

he name National All Amateurs (NAA) is changing to National Team Roping Tour (NTR). The change will be in name only – we will keep our focus on developing opportunities for the amateur roper to win big. The change will take place over the next 30 days with tweaks to the website, Facebook page, etc. The new website address is nationalteamroping.com

You could win $100,000 for $100!

The National Team Roping Tour is excited to unveil a new event that’s guaranteed to pay $100,000 to the average winners during the National Team Roping Tour Finals.

Here’s how it will work: In the first year, We’re going to try the concept in

the #9 division – that way both the #5 and #4 ropers both have a shot at the big money.

The roping will be called the National9, with entry fees of $100 per man, enter two times (you may pick or draw). There will be a National qualifier at most NTR Tour ropings.

The process to advance to the $100,000 National9 Finale is very similar to the format that was used leading up to The American rodeo in Dallas, where anyone had a chance to qualify to compete for big money at AT&T Stadium. This progressive pot format has been the brainchild of Denny Gentry.

At each National9 qualifier, a minimum of 4 teams are guaranteed to advance with a FREE entry into the National9 Finale. More qualifications

ALL-AROUND

could be awarded depending on total teams entered. Basically, a qualification to the National9 Finale will be awarded for every 20 teams that are entered in a qualifier. In addition, each advancing team will also win $1,000 per team.

Ok, so if you are following along . . . at this point for $100 a man, if you win a spot, you get $1,000 per team AND now you are entered into the National Finals with NO entry fees.

Now here is where it gets GOOD – the National9 Finals will pay $100,000 to win the average! So one team – for a one-time entry fee of a $100 per man – could win . . . $1,000 at the qualifier PLUS $100,000 at the NTRF – for a whopping total of $101,000 per team!

The NTRF is tentatively scheduled for March 1, 2015, in Phoenix, Arizona.

What if you don’t qualify? There will be a limited number of direct-entry teams allowed to enter the NTRF. I’m sure there will be some changes and tweaks to the program, but that is the gist of it. I hope you like it, Ty Yost.

he Cowboy Up Last Man Standing Tour continues to be a success with ropers. Participation increases as ropers learn about our 100% payback roping. Ropers are having fun and winning money!

At our second stop in Las Lunas, New Mexico, we had an increase in teams from 13 to19. Cowboys and cowgirls came out to compete for 100% of their money in the rain and wind. It was a truly a COWBOY UP event from all points of view. Our champions were J.C. Martinez and Adam Ray Esquibel, winning $1140 and trophy knives. In second place, Roy Montoya and Carlos Baca won $760 for a total payback of $1900 (with 19 teams at $100 per team entry, that’s 100% payback!). Roy Montoya also won the saddle for the high money winner of the weekend.

Portales, New Mexico was our third stop on The Cowboy Up Last Man Standing Tour. Word spread and entries increased from 19 to 47 teams— almost a 150% increase! At 100%

payback, 47 teams = $4700 payout!

Our champions in Portales were Tel Trammel and Nano Garcia, splitting $1500 and trophy knives. Nano Garcia and Bode Baize took second for $1200.

Jonathon Lucero and Roy Montoya split $1000 for third. Bode Baize and Corbin Livingston split $700 for fourth, and Roy Montoya and Jace Davis split $300 for fifth.

To pay ropers even more money, we added the Buyback Bonus Bucks Challenge. At stake is $1000 to the 100% payback champions if they win without using a buyback option at that roping (buyback is optional—see complete rules).

As The Cowboy Up Last Man Standing Tour continues to grow, we will introduce different formats to make sure everyone has a chance at the money. Stay tuned for these formats which will separate the Pro-Am division from the novice division.

Not Just Horsin’ Around

T

here was no Horsin’ Around March 29, 2014 at the Horseman’s Arena in Belen, NM. The Horsin’ Around Therapeutic Riding Center (HATRC) held its 2nd Annual Benefit Roping.

This roping helps to raise money for the HATRC special needs riders and their lessons. This year once again the proceeds from the event raised enough money to cover therapeutic riding lessons for all the riders of the Horsin’ Around Therapeutic Riding Center for 12 weeks!

The first roping of the day this year was the #7. The team to win it was Kadin Shain and Tristen Encinias, they took home $1170 and Maynard Trophy Buckles for the win. The #9 win went to Chuck Thompson and Donovan Maria, they drew checks for a total $2192 and Maynard Buckles for their work for the day. The #12 was the last roping of the day and the champions of that roping were Mike Fresquez and Shane Jodie with checks totaling $1384 and Maynard Buckles also.

Just like the 1st Annual, what a great event this was and a big thank you to all the ropers and congratulations to the winners. A big thank you goes out to Donna Tolbert and Scott McCloud and all the volunteers. If it wasn’t for everyone working together to make this event happen, the riders of HATRC would not be able to take advantage of the great resources at HATRC. A special thanks to Maynard Buckles for the beautiful Trophy Buckles, Red Clay Announcing for the sound system and announcing and Jimmy Thompson for the stock.

Wise Prospector

Story and Photos Compliments of Jim Olson

O

ne day, high in the Sierras, an old prospector came across a large gold nugget in a stream. It was as big as your fist! He also found a much smaller, but still very respectable sized nugget next to it. He immediately packed his burro and headed for town with his new treasures. Hard work and perseverance had paid off!

As he approached town, after a long three-day hike from the high country, the prospector spotted a local shifty character, a fast talker who never seemed to be at work, but always talked big plans. The man approached the prospector with a quick buck on his mind, as it was well known around the area that when the prospector came to town, he usually had gold with him.

“Sir, can you spare some gold dust?

You see, I haven’t eaten in days and my wife and children, why, they’re hungry too!” begged the slacker.

Without batting an eye, the

prospector pulled the smaller nugget out and offered it to the him. However, in the process, the swindler got a good look at the much larger nugget in the man’s pack. Greed took over!

The man excitedly talked about what he could do if he only had a stake. Why, with a nugget as big as that one, he’d be on easy street the rest of his life. He could make a fortune. His wife would wear the finest clothes. His children could get the best education. He would hob-nob with the important folk in town! He laid it on real thick.

“Sir, if you would only let me borrow THAT nugget, I would surely repay you when I could. I would invest it and make us both a nice profit!” The sly man begged—on and on he went.

The old man knew in his heart it was all a lie, however, something inside told him to give it up. Incredibly, the ol’ prospector reached out and handed over the treasure. “You seem to be very needy of this, perhaps it will solve your woes,” was all he said. Then he turned around and headed back towards the hills.

The slacker could not believe his good fortune! He’d really pulled one over on that ‘ol prospector. Now, he would have it all! He happily raced for town to throw around the weight of his new found fortune.

A few weeks went by...

Back at the stream, while panning for nuggets on a sunny afternoon high in the Sierras, the prospector spotted the town man coming towards him. He was shocked. Either he had come to beg for more nuggets—or perhaps, just perhaps, the man was actually here to pay him back like he promised. Either way, he waited to see what would come about.

“I am so glad to have finally found you. I have been looking for you for days,” puffed the exhausted man.

“What may I help you with?” asked

the prospector.

“I come for treasure,” the man sheepishly admitted.

“But I have not found any other nuggets since I last saw you,” said the prospector, “I already gave you all I had.”

“I have come for something far greater than a gold nugget,” said the man.

Puzzled, the ‘ol prospector queried, “Well then, what is it you want?”

“You see, it’s like this. When I talked you into giving me all that gold, I thought I would never see an unhappy day again, the rest my life. I thought it would buy me prestige and happiness. I showed it around town. Folks wanted to be around me, buy me drinks. Some asked for money, others tried to con me out of it. It brought me much attention, both good and bad. But I was not happy. Well, maybe I was happy for a while, but it faded. I was constantly worrying and in fear of losing it.

“But you—you gave up your most prized possession and then came back to the mountains to work again while I stayed in town, living the so-called high-life. Why did you give me the nugget? I beg of you—give me a truthful answer.”

The prospector thought about it and said, “Because you seemed like you needed it more than me and something inside told me to do so. It seemed to be of great importance for you to be a rich man. It made me feel good to see you so happy. In the mean time, I have what I need.

“And, I figured with a little hard work and perseverance, I’d get another one. But that is not so important because I love what I do. For me, the search is as much fun as the find. I know that money in the bank does not ultimately determine how happy I am. I am happy every day just

living the life I love.”

“That is exactly the kind treasure I now seek,” said the man. “I want to know how to be the kind of person who can be happy giving away his things to those who need them more than he does. I want to be happy no matter the size of my bank account. I want to be happy in my every day pursuits, not depending upon some future ‘prize’ to ‘hopefully’ bring me happiness. I want to be the kind of person who does not need the approval and admiration of others to find happiness in himself. I want to find the kind of happiness that could not be bought with that large gold nugget. I would gladly trade all the gold in the world to find this kind of treasure. After all, I sure as heck did not find happiness in the gold alone.”

The wise ol’ prospector smiled and said, “Finding that kind of treasure is easy. Why it’s much easier than finding a big gold nugget. To find what you are looking for, to be happy, rich or poor, high or low, in good times or bad—you must first find God—and that is easy because he is everywhere. Then follow

his instructions—you will hear them from within if you listen closely. The rest, why it’ll just fall into place.”

This is an old fable, retold in my own words with my own spin on it. I hope you

M

arch 29, 2014 was the day cowboys and cowgirls gathered in Socorro, New Mexico for the 2014 New Mexico Rodeo Association Membership Drive Rodeo!

The weekend provided some great rodeo talent from across the state.

Along with the many returning members, there were also many new faces and new contestants competing at the Membership Drive Rodeo this year. With the great turnout of contestants it looks to be a good rodeo season ahead.

The NMRA would like to thanks all of the cowboys and cowgirls who showed up in support of the 2014 NMRA season kickoff event, as well as all of the volunteers, the stock contractors and NMRA directors who helped make the rodeo a success. The season is just beginning, so cinch-up, hold on and get ready for 2014, the NMRA is off to a great start!

N

ow that the dust has settled, I want to take this opportunity to thank each one who made it possible. Gary and Diane Nunn and Dennis and Tamera Chavez who got this started after finding out I had bone cancer in my leg.

Periosteal Osteosarcoma is what they call it. Thanks to Matt Clouser and Donna Finley for walking me through that Cancer Center the first time. Cancer is a scary thing, but I have some pretty good doctors and nurses who take care of me. I took some chemo, they call it “The Red Devil”. It was rough. Found out the tumor kept growing so they had to take my leg. Hopefully that’s the last we hear about that cancer. Most of all, I want to thank God for getting me through it and letting me know everything is going to be

alright. I want to thank God for my wife Maria for being there for me every step of the way and for our children Janie and Baby Ben who keep me going. A special thanks to my mom and dad, grandparents, family, and extended family in a big way for their endless support, for always being there for me and my family. I know this has been hard for them too. Thanks to my buddy Richard Finley for hanging in there with me and getting me through the tough times.

Thanks you to family and friends that traveled from Colorado and Texas for the event I appreciate it. It was a good reunion and the music was great. I want to thank everyone for their prayers and get well wishes from individuals and churches that put me on their prayer lists. I know this much…..God is good and I’ve known Him all my life too.

Special thanks to chefs Troy Bennett (my brother) and John Flemming for the delicious meal they provided Friday might and thanks to all who attended.

Thanks to my sister Aubreys, Toby, Krystal, Wendy, Noel and Monique for walking up those steps just to keep our food warm. Thank you Patty, Arie, Rosies, Stacy, Lisa, Steve, Gil and Christina for running the concession. Heard it was a happy kitchen. And thank you Mike and Susan McGuire for bringing “Barbed Wire McGuire’s BBQ” for all of us to enjoy. And I thank all who donated towards that. Best BBQ in town. And how about Joe Rivera’s Kettle Corn, best I’ve ever had. Thanks Joe. Jerry Jaramillo and The Brown River Bank. The best dancing bank around and some who donated their time and talent to provided us with great music to listen and dance to.

Everyone had a lot of fun.

Thanks again and God bless you guys.

Now let’s talk rodeo. I want to thank GT and Gary Nunn with Nunn’s Frontier Rodeo Co. for all the work he put into

this event. I know he did it out of love and because they have big hearts. I’ve know Gary all my life. Hannan, you know I love you with all my heart.

Thank you DC and all your family for providing your fantastic event center, and for your generosity. I’ve know DC all my life too. Thank you Karen Harris, for keeping us all straight with your skills about rodeo. I want to thank our announcer Scott McCloud and Judges Justin Washburn, Wayne Wilson, Richard Herrera, and Sheldon Milton for donating their time to this event. Thank Diane and Dian for timing, and a great big thanks goes out to all the cowgirls and cowboys who took part in the rodeo, that’s where it’s at. Bullfighters, who keep those bulls in their place. Thanks Rusty, Bobby and Tristin. The pickup men Martin and Kyle Encinias, who are always right there.

Thank you to Greg Cogdill for working so hard and all the other people who volunteered time and skills who know just what to do. Thanks to Ron and Travis for donating some livestock. Howard and

Eddie Nieto— Making Dreams a Reality

By Robert Deitweiler

ave you ever wanted to learn to team rope? Or maybe you already rope and would like to get better? Eddie Nieto, owner and trainer at Nieto Roping has been doing just that.

Eddie has been teaching people of all ages and ability levels how to rope going on ten years. Whether you have never roped before and are wanting to give it a try or you have started and want to get better, Eddie can help. Nieto Roping can help make your dream a reality.

Eddie has an interesting story, he did not start roping himself until he was 15 years old. Prior to that he actually didn’t even want to have anything to do with a horse. Eddie lost his parents when he was very young. When he was four years old, his parents and he were involved in a car accident and both his mom and dad did not survive the accident. He grew up with his grandparents.

“My granddad had a ranch and he always had horses around and would try to make me and my cousin ride all the time.” Says Eddie “My cousin and I got to the point where we would make a game of hiding from him so we wouldn’t have to ride. I was really afraid of horses.” That didn’t last too long, as Eddie got older, overtime he started to acquire an interest in roping. “Me and my cousin found a couple of old ropes in the tack room and started to rope any and everything in sight.” Laughs Eddie. “I finally got the nerve built up to get on one of our old horses, he wasn’t even a rope horse, but I gave it a try. With a little help from my neighbor and a lot of trial and error, I made it work. I was pretty much self-taught.”

With being a self-taught roper, and not having someone to teach him and show him all the techniques, Eddie understands the value of having a coach or trainer. “I always wished I would have had a trainer to go to, so that is now why I love being a resource and helping people learn how to rope,” says Eddie.

When Eddie made the decision to start roping, he really started roping. In a year and a half’s time he went from a #1 to a #7. That usually takes ropers a few years to accomplish.

In 1997 Eddie won the team roping at the New Mexico High School Rodeo Finals and competed at the national level as well. From

there he has continued to win at many roping’s and rodeos as he still travels across the southwest to compete in roping’s currently.

In 2001 Eddie meet his wife Melissa, shortly after that they were married and purchased the property in Tome, NM where they currently live and give lessons today. “After Melissa and I got married and moved in to our place in Tome, I had told her how I had always had a desire to teach roping.” Says Eddie. “She looked at me and told me, now is the time to do it? Melissa took a job at the bank while I gave it a try, and thank God the business took off.

Not too long after I got started I had enough business to allow Melissa to quit her bank job and for us to work together. That was ten years ago and that is just what we did and we have been doing it full time ever since.”

Over the last ten years, Nieto Roping has helped a number of people in achieving their dream of becoming a roper or becoming a better roper. They have helped kids from 4 years old up to adults in their 70’s. It is not hard to see once you are at Eddie and Melissa’s facility how much of a passion that Eddie has for roping and helping people improve their roping. Melissa, also plays a big part in the operation as you will be hard pressed not to see her helping with saddling the horses or working the chutes. “Melissa is a big

part of this operation and without her it would be hard for me to spend as much time as I do with the clients on the horses and in the arena.” Says Eddie.

So if you are looking to learn how to rope or make yourself a better roper. Check out some of the events Nieto Roping has schedule in this issue and upcoming issues of the All Around or go to www.nietoropoing.com for more information.

Help make those dreams a reality, now is the time.

but I see this in an altogether different light.

I think this is just another, if not more visible, example of the government becoming increasingly oppressive… and as it does, there will no doubt someday in the future be a flashpoint similar to what nearly transpired at the standoff between the Bundy supporters and the government under that bridge. The day the government turns arms against its own people… who are rising up because they are fed up with its oppression and continuous stripping away of our freedoms… well that’s the day it’s ON… and there will be no turning back.

We do so because we have weighed the burden of our government against the provisions it provides us.

it… but the scale is getting close to tipping, and I fear that our government, just like many of those at the BLM and other agencies, has become so smug in assuming that we will put up with it endlessly, that one day it’s going to sneak up and bite them on the ass.

“Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.”

I’ll let you know if I suddenly get audited by the I.R.S…

THE

ALL-AROUND

Thank You I want to thank all of you who roped with h us this past yead and those who participated at National All Amateurs events. As the season changes, I ho ope you can make it to one of our summer events.

We look for forward to bringing our program m into new markets this summerr,, including Mormon n Lake Lodge, AZ and Fernley, NV V,, to name a couple of them m.. Hope to see you down the road!

NAME CHANGER The name National All Amateurs (NAA) iss changing to National Team Roping Tour (NTR). The ch hange will be in name only – we will keep our fo focus on developing opportunities for for the amateur roper to win w big. The change will take place over the next 30 d days with tweaks to the website, Facebook page, etc. The new n website address is nationalteamroping.com

GAME CHANGER You could win $100,000 for $100!

The National Team Roping Tour is excited d to unveil a new event that’s guaranteed to pay $100,0000 to the average winners during g the National Team Ropin p ng g Tour Finals.

Here’s how it will work: In the first yearr, We’re going to try the concept in the #9 division – that way both the #5 and #4 ropers both have a shot at the big mo oney.

The roping will be called the National9,, with w entry ffees ees of $100 per man,, enter two times (you may pick or draw).

There will be a National qualifier at mostt NTR Tour ropings.

Thee process to advance to the $100,000 National9 Finale is very similar to the for format that was used leading up to Thee Amer m ican rodeo in Dallas, wher ere anyone had a chance to quaalify to compete for for big mone mon ney at A AT&T T&T Stadium. This prog gressive pot for format has beeen the brainchild of Denny Gentry.

At each National9 qualifierr,, a minimum m of 4 teams are guaranteed to advance with a FREE entry into the Natinal9 Finale. More qualifications cou uld be awarded depending on total teams entered. Basicallyy, a qualification to the Nation nal9 Finale will be awarded for for everry 20 teams that are entered d in a qualifier. In addition,, each advancing team will also win $1,000 per team.

Ok,, so if you are ffollo ollowing along ng . . . at this point ffor or $100 a man,, if you win a spot, you get $1,000 per team AND now you are entered into the National Finals with NO entry feees.

Now here is where it gets GOOD OD – the National9 Finals will pay $100,000 to win the average! ge! So one team – for for a one-time entry ffee ee of a $100 per man – could win . . . $1,000 at the qualifier PLUS $100,000 at the NTRF – ffor or a whopping pp g total of $101,000 $ , peer team! The NTRF is tentativvelyy scheduled ffor or March 1,, 2015,, in n Phoenix, Arizona.

What if you don’t qualify? Therre will be a limited number of direct-entry teams allowed to enter the NTRF. I’m sure there will be some changes and tweaks e to the program, but that is the gist of it.. I hope you like it..

Hunter Wins Back-To-Back Titles in Houston Article courtesy of www.wpra.com

By Jolee Lautaret-Jordan Houston - It’s hard to imagine the pressure stacked on the shoulders of the 10 ladies competing in the Championships at RodeoHouston March 22. With $50,000 on

the line for the winner, and 70,000 screaming fans inside Reliant Stadium, the ladies were surely calling upon every reserve of calm as they prepped for their runs.

Only two of the 10 knew what it meant to pull through the pressure-packed situation to claim the ultimate prize and the RodeoHouston Championship: Sherry Cervi has done it four times, on three different horses, while Nancy Hunter accomplished the feat a year ago.

The rest of the field was rounded out with former Wrangler National Finals Rodeo qualifiers. Though each cowgirl was guaranteed at least $1,000 just for advancing to the Championships, each cowgirl was eyeing the big prize, the first place award that surely would mean a Wrangler NFR berth for the lady that claimed it.

After years of sanctioning the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, and then later RodeoHouston, the WPRA did not sanction the event in 2013 but renewed their agreement with the $2 million rodeo this I season. BUILT BY VSA In the Championships, each cowgirl made one run and then the field was cut to four for the Shootout. Each round was sudden death.

In the first round, Lisa Lockhart took yet another victory lap. Riding Louie, Lockhart stopped the clock at 14.37 seconds for the win. Hunter was right on her heels at 14.45 while Cervi was 14.49 and Christy Loflin rounded out the field for the Shootout with her run of 14.52 seconds.

With just under an hour to catch their breath, the four top cowgirls came back to battle for the big money. Running first to CRX’D last according to the first round times, Lockhart had top of the ground.

It must have been a scary proposition for the rest of the field given that Lockhart started the month with a pair of huge wins,

True to form, the ever consistent Louie and Lockhart turned in another 14.37 second run. Registered An Okie with Cash, Louie is 10 this year and he and Lockhart were already second in the WPRA World standings prior to Saturday.

Hunter was next. Riding Flit N Fizz, her trusty equine partner through several Wilderness Circuit titles, a couple of Caldwell Nite Rodeo wins, a National Western title, as well as the Championship here in Houston last year, Hunter sprinted through the pattern, scarily rocking the second can but posting the biggest run of her life with a 14.25, the second fastest run of the entire rodeo.

High Water Marks

A

cowboy friend of mine went into an antique store the other day and the owner tried to buy the hat right off his head because they “fly off the shelf ” when offered for sale. But it’s mandatory that the hats have to look used. A well-known hat maker is also selling “pre-worn” cowboy hats.

Ever since John Stetson started turning beavers into hats people have been wearing cowboy hats to convey the rough, tough image of a cowboy. That’s why we have radio DJ’s, politicians and designers wearing cowboy hats; hence the saying, “all hat, no cattle!” But a real cowboy is not measured by the plumage or X’s in his or her hat, but by the sweat and dirt that have accumulated around the hat band over a life’s worth of work. You know what I’m talking about. If you don’t see a nearly black band around the base of a work hat you are probably dealing with a banker, lawyer, cosmetologist or country/western singer from New Jersey.

The problem for dudes is you have to work very hard to build up the sweat and dust into just the right mixture that marks you as a real cowboy. Acquiring just the right patina can take years and you can’t fake it, color it on with a Magic Marker®, or cover it up with pheasant feathers, a dead rattlesnake, or extra wide hat band.

Our hats are our war bonnets and our crowns, and the degree to which the sweat band is dark and dirty determines the hierarchy at the auction market cafe.

You see a sweat band that’s the color of old saddle leather and it automatically commands our respect. You never throw a good old hat like that away, but retire it instead to your very own Hat Hall of Fame. It’s very important to save hats like that for posterity. My grandpa was a

hard worker but I have several of his old Stetsons and I am ashamed to admit that judging by the appearance of just those hats you might think he didn’t exert himself all that much. You certainly don’t want the same thing said about you, do you?

I wouldn’t expect women to understand because it’s a manly thing, but believe me, when you ask your husband to wear his new hat instead of his work hat to church, or out to eat at a nice restaurant, it’s like you are asking him to leave his masculinity at home.

The best comparison I can think of is when women try to wear the highest heels, put the most rings on their fingers or grow their painted toenails the longest.

Now do you understand?

Still no? Okay, look at it this way.

I’m sure you understand the principle of the alpha dog and how each one tries to make water higher up on a post to show their dominance. Haven’t we all seen a Dachshund contort itself trying to “outman” a German Shepherd? Well, it works the same way with hats, only we size each other up by looking at the well-worness of their lid. This also explains why we rarely take our hats off, because we feel naked without them. It’s who we are. It’s our identity.

Some girly-men take the easy way out by always wearing a straw hat because a good sweat line is much easier to build up in a cheap straw hat than it is a good felt hat with a thick inner hat band. But real cowboys know a phony when they see one.

By the way, the same rules apply when we switch to wearing a ball cap for more formal situations. Look at any freebie cap and you’ll see from three to eight stitch lines around the bill. I have

seen guys actually count the number of stitch lines they got their sweat line to. I would never do that, and I hate to brag, but in high school when I sheared sheep I got my sweat line all the way out to the rim of the cap! I really must say, it was the high water mark of my workaholic life.

I get misty-eyed when I think what a hat like that might be worth on today’s VSA IN HOUSE PROOF market to some sissy gynecologist who wants to display his manhood when he goes on a week-long trail ride with his urbane buddies who, like him, are too lazy to collect their own dirty sweat. wwwLeePittsbooks.com
