2011 Rodeo Season – It’s Happening Now!

Action at the NMRA Rodeo - Cinco De Mayo Celebration in Socorro, NM

I

t seems 2011 is well underway and the New Mexico Rodeo Association is well into their season and off to a good start. With several rodeos under their belt for 2011, the association seems to be

covering all of their bases and giving what cowboys and cowgirls all across the Southwest want in the way of rodeos. The changes and additions to the events and formats seem to be providing contestants with more ways to enter, win and enjoy themselves. Already, it looks to be paying off as recent events have seen an explosion in contestants.

The month of May kicked off with the big, NMRA Sanctioned Cinco De Mayo

rodeo in Socorro, New Mexico. Action from the NMRA, as well as several other added events mixed it up for a whole weekend of celebration, Cinco De Mayo style. From bronc riding, to mutton busting, team roping to barrel racing and everything in between, the weekend was a feast of rodeo-style fun.

The NMRA did their part with two full performances on both Saturday at Sunday, May 7 and 8 at 1 p.m. Along with NMRA continued on page 2

JUNE 2011

Competitorial was all set to dive into the comical, yet compelling, drama by the PBR and the NFL’s Chad Ochocinco. Like a lot of other people, I thought it was interesting and would have provided this month’s column with some humorous fodder. Unfortunately, the recent outbreak of the EHV-1 virus and its impact on the rodeo/team roping/barrel racing industry here in the Southwest trumps all issues… and there’s not much humor to be found in it. Even so, I’m still struggling to figure out who made out best between the PBR and the generously timed 1.5 second bullriding debut by Ochocinco. Whoever it was, one thing is certain… it was a marketing coup for both.

Hats off to both parties for grabbing the county’s attention for a least one news cycle…

GENIOUS! As for the Equine Herpes Virus Myeloencephalopathy (EHM), it seemed not only the right time, but my responsibility to try and clear up all the rumors, conjecture, etc. that has most every horse owner in the Western half of the U.S. in a frenzy. Within the realm of “full disclosure” I want to say that it’s hard to imagine the timing could be worse. The season is just kicking off, and it was looking like things were on the upswing despite astronomical fuel prices. Event cancellations are not good for the industry overall, and particularly bad for a business that depends on advertising these events. However, despite the losses, it’s time for everyone to DO THE RIGHT THING… and just sit tight until this thing passes. The more patient we all are, the faster this thing will be over and the sooner things will get back on track.

So here are the facts… at least the facts as they officially stand as of Friday morning, May 20.

Maybe the most important to horse owners is some epidemiology information that will

I

help to better understand EHV-1. If you want the full details, complete with medical jargon, there are plenty of online sources of information. The main thing is that EHV-1 is serious. It’s serious, because its deadly and because it is highly contagious. That said it’s important to understand how it is spread because once that is understood, it’s easy to figure out how to keep it from becoming a full-blown epidemic.

We all remember the West Nile epidemic a few years past. Though EHV-1 is just as bad or maybe worse with regard to the effect it has on horses which contract it, the good news is that because of the differences in how they are spread, EHV-1 is easier to control. In short, it’s nearly impossible to keep a lid on a virus that’s spread by mosquitos, but we can

certainly control the exposure of our horses, horse equipment, etc., from one to another.

Below is the official listing, as of May 19, of all reported cases. This should clear up a lot of the rumors out there. Like a lot of you, I have heard reports of horses dead and dying by the dozens. The truth is, to date there have been seven horses that have died or been euthanized.

States not included in the tables below have reported there are no known exposed horses related to this incident currently within their state.

Definitions: Exposed Horses: Horses that attended the Ogden, Utah event from April 29 to May 8 and horses that subsequently came into contact with horses that attended the Ogden, Utah event (secondarily exposed).

In addition to the amateur rodeo contestants, the rodeo opened the door for Mini Bull riders both Saturday and Sunday to struck their stuff on the back

of Sullivan’s Mini Bulls, as well as a handful of mutton busters who helped entertain the crowd with their opening performance action. Finally, the NMRA also allowed 12 and under barrel racers to compete during the rodeo giving spectators a complete slew of events from every age group.

2011 Rodeo Season – It’s Happening Now! throughout the weekend, there were lots of local volunteers to help set up, tear things down and help throughout the weekend, and even the prisoners from the local prison facility were grateful to get out and help prepare and clean the facility after the long weekends of events.

The rodeo weekend was well staged and welcomed by the contestants and spectators alike. From the free pancake breakfast to the well groomed ground for the contestants to compete on, as well as the unique help from stock contractors, the weekend was a success for everyone. The only thing that could be found as negative was the low turnout of rough stock contestants. Tthe NMRA is not alone in this area, as the number of rough stock competitors across the country is diminishing.

However, the bright side is that the rookie division, and especially the ranch bronc riding, is growing and improving the rough stock part of the association. The committee walked away happy with a successful event that made the facility and community money for improvements and maintenance, many contestants filled their pockets with great cash payouts and the community was given a great weekend filled with the exciting spills and thrills of rodeo.

After the dust settled at the Socorro Rodeo grounds, several of the Southwest’s top competitors hit the road home with prize payout in hand. This included saddle bronc rider, Kevin Cox, who topped his event, as well as ranch bronc riding champion, Colt Chlarson and bull riding winner, Devren Meyers. On the roping end of the arena, Christen Martinez was the breakaway roping winner. She joined calf roping champion Seth Hall, as well as the incentive calf roping winner, Dave Aragon.

The team of Kyle Honeyfield and Lane Siggins took home the top honors in the open team roping while the incentive team roping championships went home with Matt Chaffin and Kade Elkins. In the steer wrestling, Mike Murphy was the big man with the big money at the end of the weekend and in the open barrel race, Kelly Waide took the big win with a fast time. Joining her was Susan Siggins who won the incentive barrel race.

Congratulations to all of these winners and the complete Socorro rodeo arena, the city of Socorro, the NMRA and everyone involved with this great event.

n front of a sellout crowd at the Lucas Oil Invitational presented by Cooper Tires, the 18th stop on the Professional Bull Riders Built Ford Tough Series, NFL AllPro receiver Chad Ochocinco bucked off Deja Blu in 1.5 seconds on Saturday at the Arena at Gwinnett Center.

“I feel good. It was fun. I can cross ‘ride a bull’ off my bucket list,” said Ochocinco.

“This sport doesn’t get enough credit. The guys who do this week in and week out deserve the utmost respect. They should be the highest-paid athletes in sports.”

Held during intermission before the Built Ford Tough Championship Round, Ochocinco’s exhibition ride was separate from the BFTS event, that featured the Top 40 bull riders in the world competing for $131,000 in prize money. The action from Georgia will be televised in HD on VERSUS at 11 p.m. ET on Sunday.

The ride came about following a Twitter comment posted by Ochocinco on May 5 that said he was going to ride a bull at the PBR event in Duluth. PBR President and COO Sean Gleason replied via Twitter to Ochocinco on May 9, saying that if he showed up, got on a bull and exited the chute, the PBR would pay him $10,000.

Gleason also said that if he completed a successful ride of 8 seconds that the PBR and Ford Trucks would present him with a brand-new Ford F-150 with the EcoBoost™ Engine.

Ochocinco reached out via Twitter to nine-time World Champion and PBR cofounder Ty Murray, who agreed to train him.

The pair arrived in Georgia on Friday and attended the first night of competition.

Murray began a crash course on bull riding, and Ochocinco received advice from BFTS riders, including 2006 PBR Rookie of the Year J.B. Mauney, who was the leader heading into Saturday.

Ochocinco returned to the arena on Saturday and spent the morning training with Murray and PBR co-founder Cody Lambert, who as Director of Livestock for the PBR chose Deja Blu. The 6-year-old bull is owned by 2010 PBR Contractor of the Year Jeff Robinson, in conjunction with Baseball Hall of Fame manager Tommy Lasorda. The PBR had Dickies® DuraBullfighters in the arena to provide the same level of world-class protection for Ochocinco that they provide to riders on the BFTS week in and week out.

“This was a monumental challenge for Chad to undertake. Riders train their entire

life to earn the opportunity to compete in the PBR,” said Murray. “It would be comparable to someone who has never skied saying that they wanted to ski one time and they wanted it to be on a double diamond at the top of the French Alps. He didn’t start out on the bunny slope and work his way up. This has never been done, but he is an elite athlete.”

Deja Blu has bucked off five PBR riders in a row, including Josh Faircloth on Friday in the Built Ford Tough Short Round. In 13 outs on the BFTS in 2011, the bull has bucked off eight riders including two-time PBR World Champion Chris Shivers.

Ochocinco’s ride will not count in Deja Blu’s official statistics. The last rider to register a score was top-ranked Valdiron de Oliveira, who had 88.25 points in Round 3 en route to winning first place and $65,000 in Fresno, Calif., in March. Other riders that have registered scores in 2011 include 2001 PBR Rookie of the Year Luke Snyder, who won $216,500 on April 16 in front of a sellout crowd in Las Vegas, and 2009 PBR Rookie of the Year Cody Nance.

In the event that Ochocinco had ridden the bull for 8 seconds, the PBR and Ford Trucks were going to present him with a new Ford F-150 with the EcoBoost™ Engine. He was also going to be able to rename the bull. Ochocinco had said that if he won the truck he would give it to one of his followers on Twitter.

World Series of Team Roping World Series of Team Roping Recent Events Globe, AZ By all reports this was a good roping with a nice turn out. The only complaints that we received concerned the sort on the cattle. Comments were that there were two different sizes mixed together and cattle weren’t speed sorted. Corey and Jack have three ropings scheduled in AZ. If you guys will notice that they will be producing the Flagstaff roping. Levi Schofield loads up and heads back to

Colorado for the summer and transferred this roping to the Roping Co. Classification biggest discussion was Michelle Rezzonico. I guess everyone has figured out that we have been using winning percentages to determine move dates. She enters alot but this one put her up over the limit and we moved her up to a #5. Preston Chamberlain placed several times and everyone was in agreement that he needed to move from a 4 to a #5.

Oscar Watson was moved from a #3 to a #4, and Ty Romo was lowered from a 9 to and 8 .

Salado, TX Wildfire Series Finale This was kind of a unique qualifier that served two purposes.Wildfire winter series finale and qualifier. As a result there were no age caps in these ropings and it made quite a bit of difference, believe it or not.

All reports were that it was the typical good roping for Wildfire and we were surprised at the size considering the Sweetest Loop going on just up the road. Flagging was great and the cattle were soft and easy by all reports. As a result of the soft cattle, we about fell out of the chair when we saw the results. A hand full of ropers won several checks and the times looked a lot faster than our norm.

When checking the classifications an unusual thing happened, for a change it wasn’t the heelers that looked out of place.

A handful of headers wreaked havoc on the event and one young roper, Corey Bader, exploaded winning a half dozen checks heading and heeling ( $18,000). So just to calm the central Texas nerves, we adjusted both ends for Corey to a 7 HD, 6 HL. After consulting with several parties involved, committee members and reviewing some of the result sheets from other events, it appeared that a balancing and realignment needed to occur among these spinners. Brian Carr, Jimmy Ruiz, and TJ Bates were all moved to 5 headers.

Two of these guys are ex calf ropers and we aren’t sure if we moved them far enough, time will tell. Preston Tatum was moved from 5 to 6 head. Rena Gomez was moved from 4 to 4 . Richard Andrews was moved CRX’D from 4 back to 5 ( he was lowered last year off of an appeal). Nice showing and nice roping, hope everyone agrees these were fair adjustments.

National All Amateurs News about the summer AA events New NAA event in Colorado I’ve gotten a lot of requests to have more NAA ropings this summer further south into Colorado and southern Wyoming. I’m a little hesitant, since it seems Colorado’s economy has been struggling and Colorado ropings have been down since the heyday of Tim Nelson. But last year, the one NAA roping we hosted in Loveland with Colt Bruegman’s Big Daddy 500 had a great turnout – almost 850 teams.

This year with the change of the location of the NAA Northern Finals from Billings, MT to Rapid City, South Dakota, I feel we need to give the Colorado ropers another chance to get qualified for the Finals. The roping’s coming up fast — it’s June 4-5 at

Spicer’s Arena in Eaton, Colo. If you’ve roped around northern Colorado, you know it’s a great indoor setup. If you’re from the north and haven’t roped there yet, you’ll want to check it out.

Date: June 4th - June 5th Spicer Arena Eaton, CO Date: July 16th - July 17th The Ranch Loveland, CO

More Thoughts from Ty Cold! That one word could sum up the NAA roping April 30 and May 1st in Gillette, Wyoming. Winter might not be over yet for the north. Wind, snow, and icy

roads greeted ropers on Saturday morning with the temperature below freezing.

Still the roping was up 50% in teams from last years roping. We finished the weekend with 933 teams over the 2 days.

The cattle, a fresh set from Mexico, didn’t quite expect this northern weather, and were a little weak. Hopefully a couple weeks of sun and they will be up and going by Billings’ Memorial Day Weekend.

We had a couple of kids in Gillette that improved so much since we had seen them last summer, we had to increase their classifications; I’m now just waiting to hear from the upset parents to let me know I’ve wrecked their kid’s summer dreams by re-classifying them.

Besides those, the classifications look good and even.

ITRA invades Albuquerque

O

n April 16 -17, Gerry Tully and his ITRA(International Team Ropers Association) gang rolled into the Bernalillo Sherriff’s Posse Arena in Albuquerque, NM for a weekend of great team roping action . The event hosted a events for ropers to try to claim their share of the 2011 World Series of Team Roping cash payout and a chance to qualify for this year’s WSTR Finale in Las Vegas, which promises to be bigger than ever.

The weekend kicked off with a warm up #15 roping on Saturday Morning followed by a #13 WSTR and #12 WSTR events. Sunday opened with a #12 Special Fees WSTR, entry roping, followed by a #11 WSTR and #10 WSTR divisions. The entire weekend was packed with action and ropers had plenty of chances top win. In the end, many ropers left with large payout checks in hand.

The WSTR winners included Albuquerque’s Sam Loya who teamed up with Casey Cordell who came over from Del Rio, Texas. They took home the big money in the #13 WSTR. The team of Jerry Elkins and JoDan Mirabal won the #12 WSTR while in the #11 WSTR, the team of Neal Dyson and Cole Benjamin won the average. Finally, the team of Walt Eddy and Denny Gentry teamed up for the championship in the #10 WSTR. No doubt this was a great event ropers in the central New Mexico area showed up to support. Other ITRA events will be coming up in the near future.

EHV-1

T

he recent outbreak of the EHV-1 virus outbreak has struck the entire Southwest and beyond. For horse owners and maybe even more importantly for producers this has been a devastating turn of event over the last couple of weeks. In hindsight though, the response and the technology of instant informational sharing, via social networking and the internet has no doubt played a huge roll in containing this outbreak.

Many already know the details of the recent equine virus from personal research, however, the USDA website has a complete article on EHV, including the recent form of the EHV-1 virus.

Equine Herpesvirus (EHV) Myeloencephalopathy A Guide To Understanding the Neurologic Form of EHV Infection What is EHM? Equine herpesvirus myeloencephalopathy (EHM) is another name for the neurologic disease associated with equine herpesvirus (EHV) infections.

Neurological signs appear as a result of damage to blood vessels in the brain and spinal cord associated with EHV infection.

Interference with the blood supply leads to tissue damage and a subsequent loss in normal function of areas in the brain and spinal cord.

What are the equine herpesviruses? To date, nine EHVs have been identified worldwide. Three of these—EHV-1, EHV-3, and EHV- 4—pose the most serious health risks for domesticated horses and can have

significant economic impacts on the U.S. equine industry.

• EHV-1: Can cause four manifestations of disease in horses, including a neurological form, respiratory disease, abortion, and neonatal death. EHM is most often due to mutant or neuropathogenic strains of EHV-1, so called because of a particular mutation in the genome.

• EHV-3: Causes a venereal disease called equine coital exanthema that affects the external genitalia.

• EHV-4: Causes a nonfatal upper respiratory tract disease in foals and is uncommonly associated with abortion and rarely with neurologic disease.

Neurological signs appear as a result of damage to blood vessels in the brain and spinal cord associated with EHV infection.

How common are EHV-1 infections? By 2 years of age, almost all horses have been infected with EHV-1. The initial exposure generally occurs in foals from contact with their dams. The virus can then become latent, or inactive, in the horse’s body, setting up a carrier state that is life-long. Horses of any age that are carriers of EHV-1 do not show any external signs of disease when the virus is in a latent form. The virus can be reactivated during times of stress, such as strenuous exercise, long-distance transport, or at weaning.

The transmission of EHV-1 occurs after an exposure to an adult horse or foal with an active EHV-1 viral infection. This exposure generally occurs via respiratory shedding of

the virus. The infected adult horse or foal may or may not be exhibiting clinical signs of disease.

EHV-1 is the primary cause of EHM. In recent years, there has been a marked increase in the number of EHV-1 cases, especially EHM, reported in the United States. There have also been several outbreaks of EHM at large horse facilities and events—at racetracks, horse show grounds, veterinary clinics, and boarding stables. The large number of horses that can be exposed on such premises and the serious nature of the disease have caused significant concern within the animal health community and the U.S. horse industry. Furthermore, these recent occurrences of EHM appear to meet the criteria of an emerging disease. A disease is considered to be “emerging” when it satisfies at least one of three criteria: 1. The disease is identified for the first time in a region or country 2. A disease changes in severity, type of animal that can be infected, or other changes in pathogen behavior 3. There is a change in geographic range of a disease or in its incidence within a range.

EHM likely meets the second criterion of an emerging disease, as the recent EHV-1 outbreaks seem to be associated with a change in the severity and behavior of the virus. It is possible that the reporting of EHV1 cases has increased, rather than an actual increase in the number and severity of cases; however, more data are needed to make such a distinction.

The virus can be reactivated during times of stress, such as strenuous exercise, longdistance transport, or at weaning.

How is the virus spread? The most common way for EHV-1 to spread is by direct

horse-to-horse contact. This virus is shed from infected horses via the respiratory tract or through direct or indirect contact with an infected aborted fetus and fetal membranes.

Horses may appear to be perfectly healthy yet spread the virus via the secretions from their nostrils.

It is important to realize that EHV-1 can also be spread indirectly through contact with physical objects contaminated with infectious virus. Examples of such objects include: Tack, Wipe rags or other grooming equipment, Feed and water buckets, and People’s hands or clothing. The air around a horse that is shedding the virus can also be contaminated with infectious virus. Although we know that the virus can become airborne, it is difficult to establish the distance the virus can spread in this manner under typical horse management and environmental conditions.

When should I suspect my horse might have EHM? Signs of EHM include: • Fever preceding neurologic signs (either in a horse diagnosed with EHM or in horses that have been exposed to a horse diagnosed with EHM), • Decreased coordination, • Urine dribbling, • Loss of tail tone, • Hind limb weakness, • Leaning against a wall or fence to maintain balance, • Lethargy, and • Inability to rise.

Horses may appear to be perfectly healthy yet spread the virus via the secretions from their nostrils.

ll-Around • Nasal swab collection for laboratory examination and detection of virus by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay or by virus isolation; and • Blood collection to detect the virus by PCR assay or by virus isolation. Blood samples should be collected 2 to 3 weeks apart for levels of antibodies specific to EHV-1.

Ideally, your veterinarian will collect both nasal swab and blood samples to optimize arriving at a diagnosis. Diagnostics your veterinarian might perform for a deceased horse include: • Necropsy examination of a horse with neurologic disease that dies or has to be euthanized, or necropsy examination of an aborted fetus/fetal membranes. Necropsy provides an important means of confirming the presence of EHV-1 disease.

Is there a treatment for EHM? The standard form of care for EHM is primarily supportive. Treatments may include intravenous fluids or anti-inflammatory drugs. Antibiotics may be used to treat a secondary bacterial infection if one develops; however, antibiotics have no effect on the equine herpesvirus itself. Antiviral drugs have also been used to treat EHM cases.

Research on the efficacy of these drugs, their cost effectiveness, and the optimal dosing regimen for EHM is still underway.

How can I prevent EHV-1, the primary cause of EHM, from spreading to other horses?

There are many steps you can take to help prevent the spread of EHV-1.

• Stop horse movement if your animals may be infected with EHV1. This is the most important first step horse owners can take. Horses should neither enter nor leave a premises where EHM has been diagnosed until cleared by the veterinarian.

• Do not allow horses exposed to EHM case(s) to have contact with unexposed horses on the premises.

• Isolate sick horses. Horses that have aborted or shown signs of fever, respiratory disease, or neurologic disease should be separated from healthy horses. Ideally, the sick horse(s) should be moved into a separate building or paddock on the premises, or be transported to a veterinary hospital with an isolation facility.

• Do not share equipment among horses on the facility. Since this virus can be spread from horse to horse via contaminated objects such as water/feed buckets or bridles, equipment should not be shared among horses.

• Practice proper biosecurity measures to prevent people from spreading the virus.

Since people can transfer this virus from horse to horse via their hands and clothing, personnel should wash their hands after handling one horse and before handling another. They should also change their clothes and footwear after working with a sick horse. Optimally, a person who takes care of a sick horse should not work with healthy horses. When this is not practical, healthy horses should be handled first and sick horses last. Wearing gloves and using disinfectant to sanitize footwear can also help minimize the risk of people spreading the virus between animals.

Can I prevent EHM with vaccines?

Vaccines exist to control the respiratory and abortion manifestations of EHV-1; however, the currently licensed vaccines are not labeled for the prevention of EHM. University and private researchers are looking into several existing vaccines to determine if they protect against EHM. New vaccines for EHM are also being studied.

Change Story and Photos Compliments of Jim Olson

C

were the only ones allowed to read from the Bible. According to sources, the first man to completely translate the Bible from Greek and Hebrew into English was William Tyndale. He once told a priest, “I will make the man who follows a plow know more about the Bible than you.” He was eventually strangled and burned for it, along with his Bibles, by Church officials!

Only when King Henry VIII changed the law were there English versions available. Even then, it wasn’t until 1611, when King James I ordered a new translation direct from old Greek and Hebrew manuscripts (The King James Version) that the Bible was made available to the common man en masse. Imagine a world where the most important book in history was not readily available to the public. I don’t think so!

What worked yesterday, may not work considered out of step, old-fashioned and Entrepreneurs, who showed they had today and probably will not work would be chastised greatly. what it took could go into Western states tomorrow. Yesterday, you knew how to Prior1\4 to 1537, mainlyxChurch V (4.9 6.6) officials and gather maverick cattle for their benefit.

Many large and wealthy ranches started in this manner. Men looked for opportunity, it came in the form of cattle; they seized the moment and did what was necessary to make it happen. They became successful and rich.

Today, although there are still plenty of cowboys and cattleman out there, it is totally different. Ranching is now a commodity business with fairly small margins. Large amounts of capital are needed to even have a chance of making a living at it.

When I was a kid, old men would tell me, “Cattle are the way to go. I raised so many children and provided myself a good living with cattle.” Traditions ran deep.

Yeah, and they probably did it with under 300 head and on an inherited ranch.

What worked back then does not present the same opportunity today. According to the 2007 USDA census of agriculture, the average beef cattle herd size in the United States is 78 head. That’s hobby ranching.

As a matter of fact, only 5,813 out of 764,984 herds had 500 cows or more. 500 head being generally accepted by economies of scale measurements as where you ought to be if you’re actually going to make a decent living. While ranching is, at least in my humble opinion, a very good lifestyle, it’s appears that less than 1% of ranchers in this country actually make a living at it. Not the greatest business ! opportunity in the world, unless of course, you have large amounts of capital available or have inherited the ranch. But even then, there are other options with better margins.

With few exceptions, cowboys of today live on smaller acreages and earn their living at just about anything but ‘punchin’ cows. And when folks refer to a “ranch,” it could mean an acre in North Scottsdale,

five acres in the Rio Grande valley, 40 acres outside of Austin or pretty much anything where a few head of livestock are held. Yes, cowboys and ranching have changed forever and will continue to change.

The preceding changes happened over a period of many years, even centuries. But these days, changes happen in hyper drive!

In the latter part of the 20th century, people, without much backing (similar to the ranchers of the late 19th century), were starting companies from scratch and becoming rich. However, the game had changed. Internet businesses (.coms) were the mavericks of the day. Some manufactured opportunity from thin air, it seemed, which made them rich. Personally, I would rather punch cows.

A world which gradually changed over six thousand years from the hunter / gatherer mentality to an agriculture mentality, then changed to the industrial age and before you could blink an eye (metaphorically speaking in the timeframe of the world) the technical age was upon us.

One hundred short years ago people were getting off horses and out of wagons to drive an automobile. After thousands of year’s a-horseback, mankind stepped into the industrial age. Today, with technology making advances by leaps and bounds, you can talk to someone on the other side of the world while looking at them on a hand-held device; sending pictures and full color documents at the same time. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg!

I knew guys back in the 1980s that swore if gas prices ever hit two dollars per gallon, they would go back to the horse and buggy mode of transportation. At the time, gas had broken the one dollar mark, for good it seemed, hovering consistently around a dollar twenty-five. The two-dollar mark was such a great stretch, it would probably never happen in their lifetime.

Well, most of those same folk are still around today and they would jump for joy if they only had to pay two dollars per gallon for fuel! How times have changed!

Change comes at us faster and faster every day. A generation or two ago, people decided upon a career, got the education or training they needed and spent the rest of their lives doing that type of work. Sure, maybe along about retirement age they were becoming antiquated in their methods, but folks just called them outdated and let them go out to pasture when the time was right. Today, a lot of jobs are obscure within a decade!

We all know people who proclaim, “The world is changing too fast for me.”

But I would like to remind them of an old saying, “You lead, follow, or get out of the way because either way, change is coming; fast!”

It’s impossible to go back in time and nothing stays the same, but the exciting part is that you can help choose the direction in which life takes you. Instead of digging in and clinging to a passing moment, welcome change and make it work for you. Don’t hate change, embrace it and make it your friend. Like it or not, it’s coming at the speed of light.

Don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing wrong with holding on to traditions, I am a supporter and promoter of the Western way of life and those uniquely American traditions myself; but what I’m getting at, is you have to find new ways to accomplish the same old goals.

Some say to me, “I just can’t, I’m too old and set in my ways.” But I say to them,

ll-Around “Can’t is a four-letter word, which should be eliminated from your vocabulary.”

Stop telling yourself what you can’t do and start focusing on how you can accomplish anything you put your mind to.

In the cowboy world, we are no more immune to change than anyone else.

However, our kind has always been pioneers – used to loading up the wagons and heading into new frontiers. Just remember there is opportunity in every changing period.

Some examples which come to mind: better livestock genetics, agriculture tourism, the team roping number system, all natural and organic products, GPS guided farm equipment and niche markets of innumerable kinds.

Let’s not forget the ever-important cultural aspects like: cowboy poets, cowboy singers, movie cowboys and western reenactors. Where would the world be without those guys to entertain the tourists and remind us of what cowboys are supposed to look and act like! LOL As we try to keep our heritage alive and well, we must find new ways of doing it. If your one of those 78 head ranchers, or a cowboy who lives on an acre, don’t give up, let’s not sit around reminiscing about the good ol’ days; complaining. Instead why shouldn’t we put our thinking caps on and figure out a desirable, yet sustainable place for us in the modern world.

Remember, the past is best used for educational purposes; the future however, should be very interesting to us, as that’s A where I suspect our remaining time will be spent!

It’s Back!

The Wild Thing Championship Bull Riding!

he Wild Thing Championship Bull Riding is coming back for its 18th year and riders and fans everywhere are gearing up for another rendition of the ‘wildest bull riding in New Mexico’!

Over the past years the ‘Wild Thing’ has truly become and un-matched event. Its action-packed, thrill-ride rendition of a traditional bull riding event always packs the Red Rock State Park Arena in Gallup, New Mexico and it is no wonder why! The best bull riders in the nation enter up for part of the tremendous payouts and are always matched against some of the toughest, rankest bucking bovine in the sport. Mix these two ingredients together with a simple side of fun and exciting entertainment that thrills the crowd and you get one heck of a great event!

This year’s event has once again has a whole lot of added money and prizes, including $6,000 in cash which helps add the estimated cash payout to $24,000, not to mention ‘Wild Thing’ famous Red Bluff Buckles to boot. Since its inception in 1994, the quality of this event has continued to get better and better. The production has continued to outdo itself each year, with many new things including filming for TV episodes, fun games and excitement for spectators and much more. This year, contestants and spectators will be able to get a “Wild Thing Championship Bull Riding Calendar” which is the first of its kind.

What has stayed consistent throughout the years is the quality of the bull riding itself.

When the bucking stock arrives from the

Sammy Andrews Rodeo Co. and the best in the world of bucking bulls are loaded in the chutes, the anticipation of thrilling excitement fills Red Rock Arena. Filing in and strapping on for eight second rides are some of the biggest names in the sport including some of the past winners, Jim Bob Custer (1994), Daniel Mueller (1998 & 1999), Ryan McConnel (2009) and last years winner, Spud Jones (2010).

Bull riders hold this event as one of the best, due to quality, payout and of course the best crowd for any event in the Southwest.

Last year, only a handful (5) qualified rides were turned in making the payout event bigger. The payout is estimated to hand over at least $6,000 to the winner if not more.

Who knows, maybe this will be you year to line your name up against some of the best

bull riders ever who have won this event in the past. The ‘Wild Thing’ – Biggest Money in the Country – Don’t miss out!

This years USTRC Red Rock Classic Scheduled for June 3-5 in Gallup, New Mexico is teaming up with The ‘Wild Thing’ Championship Bull Riding, as well as Propane Exceptional Energy for a free Propane Safety Class. The estimated half hour class will take place on Saturday, June 4, at 11 a.m. during the Team roping event. Those in attendance will receive free information brochures concerning propane safety and will also have a chance to win free prizes courtesy of Propane Exceptional Energy.

Past Wild Thing Winners Jim Bob Custer (1994) Shawn Ramirez (1995) Casey Payne (1996) Shane Thurston (1997) Daniel Mueller (1998 & 1999) Talmadge Langley (2000) Romeo Maryboy (2001) Darren Francis (2002) Matt Clouser (2003) Robertson Cody (2004 & 2005) Terry Minica (2006) Kevin Salazar (2007) Justin Howlett (2008) Ryan McConnel (2009) Spud Jones (2010)

Amateur Bull Riding Alive & well In T or C New Mexico.

T

he T or C Fiestas took a great turn on the Cinco de Mayo weekend celebration. An amateur bull riding was held at the T or C Sherriff’s Posse arena. It was in held in conjunction with junior events in the Woolly riding, Calf riding, & Mini Bull riders. These young athletes held their own just as their older peers were able to do. There were 33 entries in the open bull riding, 9 in the Mini Bull riding, 9 calf riders, and 24 young tough and gritty wooly riders. Those in attendance unanimously said it was one of the best turn outs I’ve seen in a long time for an amateur Bull riding. A total of $1,000 was added in the open, $250 in the minis and $100 each in the sheep and calves.

There were some great rides from some super bucking bulls. Some 75 contestants and approximately 500 spectators made for an outstanding evening of Bull riding, along with future up and coming riders in the sheep, calves & mini-bull riders, who also held their own. A special thanks and a great going goes out to Sullivan Bucking Bulls and Company. This was such a success that there is talk of holding this great event again next year!

National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association Grand Canyon Region and National Finals Info The month of May marks the end to the 2010/11 National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association (NIRA) season. From then, the top contestants from twelve regions will meet to see who will be crowned this year’s National Champions. In addition to the event titles that will be handed out, the team titles are on the line, making it a big deal for universities and their coaches from coast to coast.

But even before the NIRA National Finals event which is scheduled for June 12-18 in Casper, Wyoming get underway, each region has crowned their own school team champions.

For the Southwest and the Grand Canyon Region, New Mexico Universities have claimed the top spots. For the Men’s team, Mesalands Community College (MESACC) in Tucumcari, led by last years NIRA Coach of the year, C. J. Aragon took the number one spot. They were followed by New Mexico State University (NMSU). On the Women’s Side of things, New Mexico Highlands University (NMHIGH) held onto a team victory followed

by NMSU women’s team. No doubt these three teams and their tough College rodeo competitors will be carrying the torch as they head to Wyoming and their bid for more awards and championships!

Truck Winner Phyllis Gray, from Grand Cane, LA, was the lucky recipient of the National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association’s 2011 Dodge Truck award.

The drawing was held at the NIRA’s national office in the afternoon of May 2. The NIRA’s Northwest Regional Faculty Director, Buster Baron and the entire national office staff witnessed the drawing.

Phillis Gray is a sophomore at Bacone College in Muskogee, Oklahoma, in the Central Plains Region. Gray is currently working on her sports medicine degree and planning to work as a physical therapist for rodeo athletes.

NIRA Commissioner Roger Walters told Ms. Gray the good news over the phone that afternoon. Ms. Gray responded, “Sir, are you sure about that? Really? Really? Really?”

Commissioner Walters added, “This is one of the best parts of being the commissioner.”

When asked how she felt about the award, Ms. Gray said, “I’m still in shock, I don’t know what to say. I’m excited!”

The 2011 Dodge truck will be presented during the College National Finals Rodeo in Casper, Wyoming. The presentation will take place in the arena on Saturday, June 18.

Ranch Horse Association of America forms Arizona Chapter

T

ll-Around

JUNE 2011

he Ranch Horse Association of America (RHAA) held an organizational meeting, judges seminar, and clinic at the Ben Balow Arena in Skull Valley, Ariz., recently. National president Jim Frank Richardson, Bard, N.M., and regional director Jack McComber, Rocky Ford, Colo., were on hand to conduct the judges seminar and clinic. Six Arizona horsemen were sanctioned as judges, and 15 people went through the riding clinic.

RHAA was formed in 1998 to sanction local working ranch horse competitions, provide a uniform set of rules, and promote uniformity and consistency in judging. In 2004 the organization formed an Alliance Partnership with the American Quarter Horse Assn.(AQHA), whereby achievements of horses shown in RHAA are placed on the horses’ permanent records with AQHA. Between 15 and 18 shows are held annually across the nation, with members coming from 14 states ranging from Alabama to Montana. Mike Oden, Prescott; Beano Kimball, Chino Valley; and Miles DeWitt, Camp Verde, and Jeremy Morris, Prescott, spearheaded the Arizona organization, with Oden named regional director.

“There are a number of ranch horse shows,” Oden says, “but they’re all judged differently. RHAA is more of a cowboy kind of deal, though definitely nobody is excluded. There is more emphasis though on roping and cow work than some of the other groups, which put a lot of emphasis on halter and pleasure riding. And it’s more fast paced.”

The show is divided and judged on three basic sets of maneuvers: Dry Work or Reining (60 points), Roping (60 points), and Cow Work (60 points). There are classes for everyone from the professional trainer to novice, including a “Wikieup Class (beginners), Cowboy Class, Ranch Hand Class, Junior Ranch Horse (5 years old and under), Senior Ranch Horse (over 5 years old), and an Open class.

Arizona shows for 2011 have been scheduled for April 30 at Cherry Creek Ranch in Dewey, June 12 at the old Prescott Fairgrounds in conjunction with Olsen Grain’s Equifest, July 16 at the 5M Arena in Chino Valley, and September 18 in Holbrook, location to be announced.

We’re trying to keep entries as affordable as possible at $110 per class, with two-thirds going back into a jackpot,” Oden says. “Our goal is to give year end awards and hopefully make enough money to donate any profits to the Arizona Cowpunchers Crisis Fund.”

The crisis fund helps working cowboys and their families pay for medical emergencies when they aren’t covered by insurance.

Certified as judges for Arizona were Ben Balow, KJ Kasun, Kim McElroy, Tommy Stuart, Justin White, and Ronnie Braswell.

For more information or entries, contact Mike Oden, 928/713-4500, or www.rhaa.org.

CBR Texan makes “Push”, South Dakotan “Pulls” Points, yet neither “Lifts” past Kansas in the Mahindra Texas Swing

T

he world’s number one selling tractor, a Mahindra, can “Push More, Pull More and Lift More” – but right now, nobody can “Ride More” than Manhattan, Kansas’s Lucas Dick – especially in Texas!

Two successful rides in Lufkin, coupled with another two successful rides at the legendary Tuff Hedeman Championship Challenge, in Fort Worth, put Lucas Dick in a one ride lead for the $10,000 Mahindra Tractors Texas Swing Bonus.

Going into the most prestigious Bull Riding event on earth, the Kansas cowboy had a tremendous opportunity to transform a slim lead, to a commanding one, with the chance to ride four bulls at the George Paul Memorial Bull Riding. With his wife expecting to deliver their second daughter just any day, they collectively decided last Thursday that he should leave Kansas and head for Del Rio. “I have always wanted to win the George Paul” said Lucas, “So my wife and I decided together that if she hadn’t had her by Friday morning, I would head to Del Rio”.

On Saturday, the soon to be father had things going his way. Lucas made two great rides logging 170 points and

catapulting him to a 154 point lead in the Mahindra Tractors Texas Swing. With a shot at two more scores on Sunday following – people were starting to think that he would put the “nail in the coffin” – so to speak. “I knew I was leading the Mahindra Texas Swing, and I thought if I just focused on riding my bulls, the rest would take care of itself ” added Lucas.

However, Lucas stumbled on Sunday when he was unable to log a qualified ride in the long round. Doing so, kept him from advancing and the opportunity at a fourth bull. Lucas added, “On the way home Sunday, I started to think, man – I could’ve sealed the deal on the Swing bonus with another two rides today. With these guys, a one ride lead going into Lubbock isn’t quite enough”.

Meanwhile, at the George Paul, there were several sharks just waiting on the opportunity to strike. The likes of Bradley Harris, Chandler Bownds, JW Harris and Ardie Maier seized the opportunity to stack on the points.

Most noticeably, Ardie Maier took advantage of four bulls in Del Rio. The only man to make four qualified rides at

the George Paul, Ardie’s 354.5 point total, shot him from 38th position in the Texas Swing Standings all the way to 3rd place.

“My main goal is to ride all of my bulls on the way to a Championship. If I do that, I will have a great shot at the $10,000 Mahindra bonus”. At the same time, JW Harris also logged three scores this weekend and both he and Ardie are within one ride of the lead.

The Mahindra Tractors Texas Swing wraps up in Lubbock, Texas at the Mahindra Tractors CBR West Texas Showdown August 13, 2011. The Texas Swing came down to the final ride last year… Stay tuned…

The CINCH CBR Tour will be on a brief hiatus until Cheyenne Frontier Days on July 25-26 but check out CBRBull.com for a list of upcoming Horizon Series Events and the latest information on The REAL COWBOY SPORT™.

ell, at the beginning of putting material together for this month’s issue I was searching high and low for editorial. It seemed news either seemed too old or was happening in the near future, or so I thought. As we neared the end of the putting-thisissue-to-bed, things really opened up. To begin with, the spread of EHV-1 took center stage in the equine-related media. From team roping events, barrel racings, junior rodeos and everything in-between, the Southwest and almost half of the rest of the country seems to be on lockdown. I believe that, although EHV-1 is very dreadful, the action of veterinarians across the country, livestock boards, producers and contestants everywhere should be applauded for hitting this thing head on and hopefully stopping it before the virus spreads to other equine disciplines.

On a different note here are a few things that may have been overshadowed by the recent virus attack news. To begin, Trevor Brazile topped the 4-million dollar mark in his career earnings. Wow! is all I have to say. I know payouts at events are increasing, helping him hit this milestone, but you can’t take anything away from Brazile who is no doubt one of the best rodeo contestants in history and well on his way to breaking many more records.

On the rodeo scene, the NMRA is kicking right along as is the GCPRA and AIRCA associations.

Recent events have proved to be successful both in New Mexico and Arizona. The only thing that stirs any dirt in the amateur rodeo scene is in the rough stock

events. Really though, there are no good answers for this either. If the contestants are not there, they are not there.

I have a few mixed feelings on this. I agree there are no bucking horse riders and very few bull riders anymore. I think several things are responsible for this which might be an article for the future. However, I also believe that what works in one event may not work in others. The team roping incentive format no doubt works for amateur rodeos due to the large population of ropers, but the same program may not work so well for events that have less of a population of contestants including the rough stock and some of the other events.

It is my opinion that it is like splitting hairs. Taking half of the contestants away and allowing them a different way to enter the same event from an already weak contestant pool allows less money to be won by either of the events. This in itself creates no incentive for contestants to enter events.

I do not believe there are any immediate answers, but think the sport and especially the rough stock side of the sport go in cycles. The present time may just be the low side of the cycle and the only thing to do is keep going and continue the enticements and give a place for future rough stock riders to compete.

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

Brazile becomes PRCA’s first $4 million cowboy

Trevor Brazile

Trevor Brazile became the first $4 million cowboy in ProRodeo history on May 14 when he won the steer roping and finished third in the team roping in Bridgeport, Texas, pushing his career earnings total to $4,000,396.

It’s hard to say whether it is ironic or absolutely fitting that Trevor Brazile became ProRodeo’s first $4-million cowboy May 14 with his steer roping winnings at the Butterfield Stage Days.

Brazile’s steer roping earnings represent the smallest portion of his $4,000,397 – less than a quarter – but it was in steer roping

championship round with a 90-point ride on Speckled Ivory (Circle T Ranch & Rodeo). Fourth overall went to Jordan Hupp, who rode Flashpoint (Teague Bucking Bulls) in Round 3 for 86.25 points but bucked off of After Party (Circle T Ranch & Rodeo) in the Built Ford Tough Championship Round.

Veteran rider Dustin Elliott rounded out the Top 5 after finishing second in Round 3 on Sleeper (Jeff Robinson/Cunningham) for 87.75 points (Jeff Robinson/Cunningham). He was one of three riders to then post a score in the championship round, riding Chicken on a Chain (Robinson/Tedesco/Larry the Cable Guy) for 89 points.

that he earned his first National Finals berth (1997) and where he earned his first gold buckle in an individual event (2006).

And then there is the matter of the ay Brazile is building up his very substantial lead in the 2011 all-around world standings.

His $46,548 in steer roping is not only more than he has earned in either tie-down roping ($25,305) or team roping ($32,255), it is more money than has been earned by the world standings leaders in steer wrestling, team roping (heading or heeling), saddle bronc riding and tie-down roping.

“That really isn’t a surprise,” Brazile said of how he reached the milestone, “since the bulk of the money I’ve won this year has come in steer roping. As ironic as it seems, I’d bet that I win more money per rodeo in the steer roping than I do in any other event. It’s just a great event for me.”

Bridgeport was his fourth major steer roping title of the season, following the San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo, the SandHills Stock Show & Rodeo in Odessa, Texas, and last week’s Guymon (Okla.)

Pioneer Days Rodeo.

Thanks, in no small measure, to the prize money infusion in the San Antonio steer roping event this year, Brazile seems well on his way to shattering the year-old record for single-season earnings in the event. He already holds the single-season earnings records for the all-around and for team roping headers.

JUNE 2011

The 14-time world champion has career totals of $1,917,529 in tie-down roping, $1,157,345 in team roping and $925,523 in steer roping.

“I never imagined winning $4 million,” Brazile said. “I was rodeoing with Roy (Cooper) when he crossed $2 million, so that was the number I dreamed about for a lot of years. I just think it’s cool that I can win this type of money with a rope in my hand.

“The world championships are great – don’t get me wrong – but the money means a lot, because that’s how I support my family. It means that I don’t have to go out and get a real job and just try to rodeo as a hobby.”

At Bridgeport, Brazile won the first round of the steer roping in 10.0 seconds, finished second to Vin Fisher Jr. in the second round (9.4 to Fisher’s brilliant 8.8) and won the three-head average with a time of 33.7 seconds. Brazile and partner Patrick Smith finished third in the team roping, and the $1,211 each received in that event allowed Brazile to claim the all-around title with total earnings of $5,652.

His 2011 all-around total of $104,108 puts him over the $100,000 mark for the 14th consecutive season and increases his lead over second-place Cody Ohl to more than $73,000. Brazile has surpassed $200,000 in each of the last 10 years (20012010) and $300,000 in each of the last five.

He was the youngest contestant to reach the $2 million milestone (July 2006) and the first to reach $3 million (December 2008) before this latest accomplishment.

“I really don’t keep up with the money milestones until I hear that I’m close to

reaching one,” Brazile said. “But I definitely want to stay on track and be the first guy to $5 million now. Hopefully, I can earn that next million as quick or quicker than the last. That’s the great thing about numbers like these. Not only is it good for me, but it’s good for the sport that somebody can win this type of money – and it just keeps getting better.”

GEICO becomes official partner of PRCA ProRodeo ProRodeo fans get ready. The widely popular and iconic GEICO Caveman and Gecko personalities are preparing to “Cowboy Up.” The Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) is excited to announce a new partnership with GEICO (Government Employees Insurance Company), the thirdlargest private passenger auto insurer in the United States. GEICO will be unveiling its new event footprint for ProRodeo fans at several rodeos this summer and the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo in December.

As an official partner of the PRCA, GEICO will have a major presence on the PRCA’s Great American Country (GAC) television coverage.

GEICO made its ProRodeo debut last month at the Clark County Fair & Rodeo in Logandale, Nev., and will engage in additional local marketing initiatives at the the Reno (Nev.) Rodeo; the Pikes Peak or Bust Rodeo in Colorado Springs, Colo.; the Heart O’ Texas Fair & Rodeo in Waco, and the Wrangler NFR in Las Vegas.

“We are proud to be partnering with the PRCA and the exciting world of ProRodeo,” said Ted Ward, GEICO vice president.

“ProRodeo has grown immensely over the years and its fans are very passionate about the sport. This partnership provides us with a great opportunity to build GEICO brand awareness within this vast community.”

GEICO’s sponsorship deal will raise awareness with ProRodeo fans and create promotional opportunities with its widely popular and iconic Caveman and Gecko personalities.

“Given that the majority of our membership and fan base depend heavily on motor vehicles for their business and leisure travel, this partnership is a perfect fit in offering an affordable insurance option,” said PRCA Commissioner Karl Stressman. “I have a great deal of respect for GEICO and its parent company, Berkshire Hathaway … we’re glad to have business partners of this caliber join us.”

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

Dear NMRA members, This job is definitely full of highs and lows. I have to say that the highs far outweigh the lows, but the lows can be really tough sometimes. I recently came back from the new spring rodeo at Socorro and honestly I was somewhat dejected. Despite the fact that the NMRA board of directors has spent more than 90% of its time since the first of January focusing on the rough stock events and how we can get more contestants on more bucking stock… we had one bareback rider entered. Why? What is going on with the bareback event in this country? Some people blame the NMRA, some blame the stock contractors, but the fact is that every rodeo in the U.S. is struggling to attract young people that want to climb on something that bucks. I was really annoyed after the Saturday performance and had more questions than answers in my head. As I walked back to my trailer I met Kevin Cox at the water faucet and we struck up a conversation. I listened and winced when I heard Kevin say “the NMRA is not a contestant friendly organization.” How did that happen? When did that happen? And most importantly why hasn’t somebody thrown water on that fire before now.

Well… here is a big bucket of water coming at you. The NMRA is an organization that exists solely for the betterment of the contestants, stock contractors and the rodeo committees. Yes! I am a team roper. Yes! I never paid much attention to the bucking chutes when I came to a rodeo. I did my thing and left. Now that I am the president of the NMRA it is my job to look over all aspects of the rodeo and personally I am enjoying the conversations I am having and the people I meet, and thank you Kevin Cox for your

honesty and straight forward approach to our conversation.

Constructive criticism and solutions to problems is what I need right now. I want to know what you think, but please: If you bring me a problem bring a solution with it. If you got mad at the NMRA and vowed never to return I wish you would reconsider.

We are a team and we need all of our players.

“Coming together is a beginning, staying together is progress, and working together is success.” — Henry Ford Congratulations to The Socorro Cinco De Mayo Rodeo committee. You did a great job and we appreciate your guts and your dedication to the idea of introducing new rodeos to the NMRA. Last but not least I want to congratulate the Taos Rodeo Committee for their fearless attitude toward supporting the NMRA and its members. This year at the Taos Rodeo: • $500 added in the rough stock and $300.00(or more) added in the timed events.

• $100 added in the rookie and ranch bronc events.

• All local kid’s events will be held before or after the NMRA section of the rodeo.

• Ladies… I am looking at the ground conditions personally.

• Co sanctions with CPRA, GCPRA, WPRA (BKW), PAFRA and possibly the TCRA. Thank you Taos and thank you NMRA members for supporting great committees like this one. You can thank this committee by entering their rodeo.

That’s it: John Adams

PRCA’s Lane Siggins captures all around honors at AIRCA Rodeo de Indios

T

here are many things that separate people in this life-money, class, love-but there is one thing that always brings them together and that is rodeo. Three rodeo associations, AIRCA, CNRA and NMRA came together at Rodeo de Indios at the Sandoval County Sheriff’s Posse Arena on April 30, 2011 to May 1, 2011 for some genuine competition. There were over 350 entries with a total of $24,174 cash payout and another $1,500 in prizes. With this kind of production, it can be said that nothing embraces the spirit of the West more than rodeo. It seems Rodeo de Indios has made Albuquerque Metro its home, bringing the city back to its western roots for one incredible weekend! Walking away as the all around champion on Sunday afternoon was NMRA’s Lane Siggins. Siggins, also a PRCA cowboy of Ruidoso Downs, NM captured second place in the team roping event winning $834 while also entering the tie down roping event. He won a custom made trophy buckle to add to his collection.

Event champions each received trophy buckles: Team Roping: Brandon Gonzales / Petro Maestas of Los Lunas, NM, $2,016/Team; Tie Down Roping: JD Kibbee, $608; Bareback Riding: Earl Tsosie, Jr. of White Cone, AZ, $666; Saddle Bronc Riding: Vince Tsosie of Table Mesa, NM, $577; Bull Riding: Spud Jones of Twin Lakes, NM, $676; Steer Wrestling: Byron Murphy of Crownpoint, NM, $694; Ladies’ Breakaway Roping: Kelsi Pablo of Standing Rock, NM, $779; Ladies’ Barrel Racing: Faith Holyan, $706; #10 Team Roping: Walter Livingston / Stanion Tso, $1,413/Team; Senior Breakaway Roping: John Boyd, Jr. of Greasewood Springs, AZ, $266; Junior Barrel Racing: Tia Begay of Rock Point, AZ, $348; and Junior Bull Riding: Cody Johnson, $297

he morning dawn of Friday, April 16 was a premonition of things to come for the District 2 Finals. Having recently combined NM Districts 1 and 2, it was a great place to make new friends and share our hobby. Bright, sunny, with that fresh spring air crisp with anticipation, 74 Open racers made the Friday Warm-Up race, with Marie Autry and Junior setting the pace for the weekend, to take home the first 1D check of the finals. With over $4000 up for grabs Friday night, it paid to keep your barrels up and make the best of the fast ground. Following Marie in the 1D were Christine Atwell, Amanda Clawson, Turquoise Circuit Rookie of the Year Kelly Waide and NFR qualifier Sheri Estrada. Debbie Lanphere was the 2D winner and right behind her by .001 was Lisa Girdner, with 3rd, 4th, and 5th places going to Kandace Blanchard, Ken Badsgard, and Ashley Tensbrink all separated by mere hundredths. The first place 3D check went to Mary Flitner, Katherine Kalas second, Laci Cline third, Payton McNiel fourth and fifth went to Annissa Jackson, with Candace Williams finishing up the money for the day with 1st in the 4D followed by Dee Dee Brannin, Trudy Dean, Wendy Honeyfield and Kelli Garcia.

Saturday morning couldn’t have gone much better, with the ground nearly perfect, the weather stunning, and the runs going smoothly. With 108 members running for another $4000 pot for the District 02 Finals Race. The 1D check was claimed by Sheri Estrada who shaved nearly a half second off the prior day’s time and set a blistering pace with a 15.067, followed closely by Kelly Waide, Lany Elkins, Lynn Ray and John Garcia.

The dogfight had only just begun, with the 2D money going to Lisa Girdner, Marie Autrey, Josephine Gutierrez, Mary Flitner and Kandace Blanchard, 3D winner Joann McNiel, second place Annissa Jackson, Nicky Larrabee third, Staci Trehern fourth, Katherine Kalas fifth, and the 4D winners finishing up the checks with Christine Atwell, Wendy Honeyfield, Chazlin Lesueur, Edith Shaw and Susan Hitchcock.

A District 2 Finals favorite, the Incentive Race, was held after the Open Finals, with the top 5 finishers in each D invited back to run again and get as close as possible to their Open time. Whoever achieved this feat won a custom Diamond S trophy saddle from Tod Slone Saddlery.

Members crowded the fence to whoop it up for each other with gasps and groans heard after the announcer boomed the time. Kirsten Pohnert was 4th with a .091 time split, Lynn Ray was 3rd with her close runs of .060, Staci Trehern time difference of .055 took 2nd place with the Incentive Winner and saddle going to Casey Dove, who matched her Open 2D time the closest, being off by only .043 With the Incentive Race wrapped up, it was time for the much-anticipated awards for the year-end points in Youth, Senior, and Open.

Turquoise Circuit Finalist Kelly Waide was the 1D saddle winner by a landslide 80 points, with Reserve going to Rachel Maestas. The 2D saddle went to 2010

BBR 3D World Champion, Dude Penrod with a mere 2 point lead over Rachel Maestas , 3D saddle to Charlotte Honeyfield, Reserve going to Sharon George, and the 4D saddle to Edith Shaw with Reserve going to Laura Haines.

Continuing her win streak, Dude Penrod took the Seniors 1D Champion title, 2D Champion Title went to Susan Hitchcock, with Laurinda Bearce winning the 3D Champion title. Not to be forgotten were the Youth Champions, with the McNiel girls Haley and Payton taking home the Youth 1D and 2D titles and Abrie Barela claiming the 3D Champion title.

As the District 2 Finals came to an end, the impressive choice of awards, spread out on half a dozen tables, were handed out to the top 10 in each D. Trophy saddles, buckles, tack, and accessories made their way one by one as each winner proudly accepting their award and posing for a trophy picture from professional photographer Paul Springer. Members who were neck and neck in points before the Finals all clapped and congratulated each other when the results were announced, just going to show what a great group that NM02 is.

With the awards handed out, it was

time for a short afternoon siesta in the beautiful NM weather before the action continued- there was an Open barrel race that evening, with members running for another jackpot of nearly $6,400, with the final race of the weekend to be held the next morning with $5,400 up for grabs in the Open, Senior and Youth.

With $20,000 alone being paid out just in jackpot money, with the majority of members also winning awards, just about every member went home with something, huge thanks going to our hard-working Director Sharon George, the numerous volunteers and members who help keep things running smoothly, Paul Springer Photography, Marie Autrey, Marilynn Morris, Norene Canada, Vernon and Wendy Honeyfield, Susan Hitchcock, Jake Barkemeyer , Vi Pirkle, Sheila Pirkle and all the members who were so great about setting barrels and pitched in doing whatever need done, we really appreciated the help from our new members who switched from district 1, they were instrumental in helping us during the finals race and we look forward to seeing them run in next year’s finals.

NBHA – NM01 This month we’d like to thank Kora and Mark Lepich for obtaining another saddle sponsor from the Williams Company. This is the second year Williams has supported one of our youth saddles and it is wonderful to have companies in our area that recognize our sport. Our new spectator side pot is off to a good start and we appreciate Becky and Melissa Trujillo in helping see the racers to the crowd. It’s always fun to root on your favorite racers and this is

looking to be a good way to build our added money funds. Our new Target Saddle race at the end of May is looking to be good one and we hope everyone can join us.

Meanwhile best of luck to all who will travel to the Las Vegas Super Show and bring home the money!

New Dates For NBHA Vegas Super Show July 6-10, 2011 The National Barrel Horse Association and the South Point Hotel, Casino and Equestrian Center have been closely monitoring the recent outbreak of the Equine Herpes virus (EHV-1). After seeking advice from appropriate official agencies we

The show in its same format and schedule will be held July 6-10.

The South Point Hotel staff stands ready to move any existing reservations to the new date or to issue refunds to those people who have obligations that will not allow them to come in July.

Anyone that has made Hotel reservations simply needs to call the South Point Hotel at 866-791-7626 or email reservations@southpointcasino.com to cancel or confirm their reservations for the July event.

Please read the following instructions carefully regarding your entries: 1. If you are already entered in the Vegas show and wish to come in July- do nothing!

2. If you are already entered in the Vegas show and wish to draw out, you must notify us by fax (706 823-3700) or by email (nbhashow@nbha.com) no later than June 10th. You will receive a full refund.

no kid of his was a loser. So there were many more such auctions where they were “just gonna watch.”

The middle child was a girl, Tina, and she dreamed of becoming either a makeup artist or a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader, certainly not a real cowboy. But one day on a whim Roger took the family to a purebred cattle auction. “Don’t worry,” Roger told Tina, “we’re just gonna watch.” That’s how Tina got roped into being a rancher for life.

Then one day Roger took his youngest son Robbie to a farm equipment auction.

Robbie loved fast cars and restoring hot rods, not Farmall tractors. “Don’t worry,” his father reassured him, “we’re just gonna watch.” A couple hours later Roger had bought enough worn out farm equipment to keep Robbie away from cars for years.

Then one day Roger fell over dead at age 64 from a massive heart attack.

Pastor Coglin and the family sat at the kitchen table planning Roger’s service.

When the Pastor asked Leonard if he would like to say a few words at the funeral the shy young man got a frightened look on his face. What could he say about a father he loved, but deeply resented.

Dorothy made eye contact with each of her offspring and saw in their faces a reflection of her own unrealized dreams. “Don’t worry kids,” Dorothy spoke those famous last words, “we’re just gonna watch.” www.LeePittsbooks.com

veterinarians would do a better job because an animal can’t say, “I hurt here,” or “I feel bad there,” so the vet must pay attention and figure out the problem without a bunch of verbiage. (Actually, some medical doctors for humans might appreciate the no verbiage part.)

Also, veterinarians make ranch (call it house) calls, and they don’t write prescriptions for medicine. They usually have it with them in their truck.

Consider the problems if the injured or ill party was yourself. You’re stuck with traveling to town and waiting for hours in a room full of people who have contagious no-telling-what. When somebody finally deigns to see you, you’ll probably get a prescription and be told to go to a pharmacy and get it. You don’t feel good enough for that? Too bad – shoulda brought someone along with you.

Sometimes the vet can advise us what to buy at the feed store, and that really helps. The feed store not only is our pharmacy, but we can buy our britches, shirts, jackets and all that there, also.

I keep certain products around just in case we need them. That includes personal products like shampoo and skin cream.

The best parts of feed store shopping in my opinion are the smells and sounds.

It’s so comforting to breathe deeply of leather, denim, sweet feed, alfalfa while listening to the baby chicks’ little cheeps in the springtime.

I can take a deep breath and feel good all over.

Feed Store Medicine

I

remember looking out my bedroom window early one morning and seeing our young 2-year-old gelding we called Chapo limping toward the corral, dragging a bloody hind leg. He had spent much of the night with his leg hung in a cattleguard. It was awful.

My dad, as most cowboys, was a fairly good veterinarian. He doctored and babied Chapo for months, and although his lower leg always stayed a bit big he became a great cow horse and he could run, too, even though not as fast as before the injury.

Have you noticed? It’s always the best horses that get hurt. I watched as my young sorrel gelding jumped the barbed wire fence in the back pasture. He got up, shook himself, and walked away not hurt at all. I knew right then he was really an ordinary horse. A great horse would have had lots of action and injured himself.

One of our young stallions was the victim of a vicious person who beat him in the head. We were afraid he was blinded in one eye but my dad, again, came to the rescue. Many of my dad’s remedies came from the feed store in town, and they usually worked quite well.

Actually, the feed store has remedies that work for people too. A certain brand of horse liniment has saved the day for me many times even though medical doctors (for humans) pooh-pooh it.

Medical doctors (for animals) are not supposed to treat humans, which I think is a shame. I think most of the time
