or the first time in a long while, its feels like things are beginning to get back to normal. With the first summer holiday in the rear view, it seems like people are traveling again. It’s been a tough few years for our sports, so it’s great to see things heading in the right direction.

One of the sure signs that things are turning is that I’ve run across ropers and rodeo athletes over the past month or so, who, in the regular course of conversation, begin to give me their take on the evils of producers and stock contractors. .Ahhh…things are truly returning to normal.

Like many other times, these conversations generally begin innocuous enough, “I went here or there,” “I NEARLY placed in this or that,” “I’m going to this or that event”…all good…but then it comes.

“You should write an article about producer X, or contractor Y, and tell everyone how sorry their cattle were, or their runaway buckin’ horses, or how bad the payout was,” …etc. …until it ultimately culminates with assertions that, as they struggle to afford to go to events, producer X and contractor Y are getting rich.

Okay…..times are tough…it’s costly to travel, entry fees are always going to be higher than we want to pay, and payouts are never going to be as good as we think they should be….that’s just the way it’s ALWAYS going to be.

Yes I know there was a time…through incredibly bad judgment….when there have been producers who wheeled around the country in $200,000-plus motor homes, or $100,000-plus horse trailers, putting on events. It was hard for the guys putting up their entry fees not to notice, and the bad taste it left in a lot of mouths was understandable to a large extent. ……BUT THOSE DAYS ARE PAST! Production costs have exploded over the past decade or so. It’s been tough on producers and contractors of all the rodeo disciplines and especially tough on team roping producers.

That’s not to say that rodeo contractors have had an easy go of it. Frankly, I don’t know how any of Cover: USTRC Red Rock Classic PHOTOS COURTESY OF LONE WOLF PHOTOGRAPHY

them have EVER made a living. But because the dynamics of the industry allows production costs of events to be pretty much renegotiated every year.

They have at least some recourse with regards to managing the ever-increasing costs. Team roping producers however, have been in a bad spot for some time.

Can anyone even remember when the standard producer cut of an event WASN’T one-third? I’m being completely serious….I can’t!

Of course there have been (and are) exceptions, but these exceptions are only possible through he manipulation of the problem, mathematically. That is, by raising the entry fee of an event so that the percentage of the producers stake is based on a larger amount. In other words, 33% of a $60 entry fee, means the producer gets $20, whereas 25% of a $100 entry fees means the producer gets $25.

It’s been a good trick, but it’s more than just a trick…. It’s been a survival technique. The truth is that it’s largely provided the only way for a lot of producers to survive in the business at all.

Consider this, 20 years ago, when roping producers were operating on the 1/3 standard, gas was $1.20 / gal. The average cost of a home was about $125K, a new crew cab pickup was about $26k, and #1 - 400# Corrientes were topping out at $400/head.

You could run a whole arena crew and office staff for $300/day (or less).

And ask yourself this. When was the last time you even saw a $100/man, 12x12, Round-Robin advertised? You know why? …BECAUSE THEY DON’T’ WORK! It’s not because they weren’t popular. If a producer were to host that kind of event today, they would be run over with ropers trying to get entered. They don’t do it because they CANT’!

I completely understand the economic strain everyone is currently under. But you have to cut all those producers who have still managed to stay in business some slack. None of them are rolling high on the hog these days. If anything, they deserve to make a little profit….Yeah…I said it.

The fact is….producers/contractors aren’t doing what they do because those who compete are so charming and great to be around. They not only have REAL expenses they have to cover, the endeavor needs to be worth their while. You think you miss

Dear Ropers, Do you feel like a million dollars?

That is exactly what the USTRC is about to bestow on all of its competing members in 2012. Not to feel like a million dollars, but to present all of you collectively with an actual million dollars in cash! This is a game changer, as it far exceeds anything that has ever been done at the USTRC since the invention of the Shoot-Out. The consequences are going to be truly revolutionary.

Why? Because instead of you, the roper, contributing added money to the National Finals Shoot-Out Fund, that money will now be provided solely by the USTRC, and it’s guaranteed to be a minimum of One Million Dollars! From here on out, not one dime of your entry fees will go toward added money at the National Finals of Team Roping (NFTR).

For those of you who are unclear on how huge payouts at the NFTR have been previously generated, here is a quick reminder. A critical aspect of USTRC’s success was to create a National Finals event unsurpassed in the amount of money awarded to its National Champions.

That goal has been accomplished, signified by the fact that for the last 11 years, over one million dollars of added money has magnified the incredible purses at the USTRC National Finals of Team Roping.

Until now, a large portion of that money has come from the roper, in the form of a five percent contribution coming

out of your entry fees at every USTRC sanctioned roping. Your contributions helped to build the National Finals of Team Roping into the sport’s premier event – the largest and richest team roping in the world. In appreciation for all you’ve done, the USTRC is stepping up to contribute all of the added money, and we guarantee to add one million dollars to the NFTR purse.

This commitment demonstrates how much faith the USTRC has in this sport and its members. But what exactly does this pledge mean to you? It means cash purses at every sanctioned event will dramatically increase. Based on roper contributions in 2011, over $750,000 more cash will be paid out at sanctioned events per season, without you having to lift a financial finger.

That’s the new deal, the revolution USTRC is initiating right now.

But the roper is not the only beneficiary. The business of producing team ropings is not an easy road to travel. USTRC producers have a substantial commitment in time, effort and money for every roping they put on, with no guarantee to earn a profit. And ropers, they do HAVE to earn a profit, or they will not be in this business very long. So the USTRC further pledges support of the unsung heroes of our business – the producers.

You may not be aware that USTRC producers have also significantly contributed to the National Finals Shoot-Out Fund. In 2011, producers

added over a quarter of a million dollars out of their pocket to the Shoot-Out Fund. In the 2012 season, producers are no longer required to contribute to the Fund. This helps our producers stay in the game so they can continue providing ropers the best productions found anywhere in the sport of team roping.

So, the revolution is upon us. The 2012 season marks a historic juncture in USTRC history as we continue our quest to provide greater value to our members. Now, ropers who cannot attend the Cinch NFTR won’t see their money siphoned off to an event he or she cannot attend. But the NFTR remains intact with the enormous cash purses and nominal entry fees that have made the NFTR the preeminent team roping year after year. Now cash purses at sanctioned events will grow by more than an estimated $750,000. You no longer need a math degree and a Cray computer to figure how much of your entry fees go into the roper’s pot. That number is two-thirds. Period. End of story!

Sincerely,

Kirk Bray

ALL-AROUND

Tryan And Graves Dominate 35th Annual BFI In Reno It’s official – the Reno Livestock Events Center has become “the house that Clay built.”

On June 18 at the 35th Annual Bob Feist Invitational roping in Reno, Nev., not only did 33-year-old Clay Tryan out-rope the 100-team field for the record third time in his career, but the $120,000 he split with partner Travis Graves also made him the new highest-earning BFI roper in history.

“I’ve had the goal to win the BFI five times ever since I won it twice,” said Tryan, a Montana native who also won the PRCA’s world championship in 2005.

“But I don’t rope to win – my strategy is to rope a good roping. I just want to have a shot at it.”

Tryan and Graves were the high team back in the short round, which earned them free entry fees into the 2013 Mike Cervi Jr. Memorial Roping in February.

They needed an 8.68 for the win and came tight in 7.30 to earn $60,000 per man.

While Tryan previously won the BFI in 2005 and 2008, it was the first win for Graves, his partner of three years. The pair also rode off with dozens of prizes including custom Running P saddles and halters, custom Myler bits, Montana Silversmith trophy buckles, Classic headstalls and Justin boots.

The cash comes at the perfect time for Graves, who recently built a new home in Texas with wife Tamika. She’s due to deliver a baby boy in November. As for Tryan, he may use it on a new home, too, or on the 4- and 6-year-old boys he’s

raising with his wife, Bobbie.

“It was a weird day,” said Tryan of the six-steer classic, in which just 37 of the 100 teams connected on their first three steers. “We didn’t do anything dramatic. We made virtually the exact same run on all six steers.”

Indeed – they clocked times of 7.74, 7.48, 7.58, 7.21, 8.06 and 7.30 to edge reserve champions Riley and Brady Minor by about a second and a half. Their aggregate time was the seventh fastest in the BFI’s 35 years.

The Minor boys earned $42,000 apiece and prizes for second, while third went to Tom Richards and Nick Sarchett for $25,500 a man and prizes. Manny Cunde and Brad Culpepper placed fourth to earn $16,500 apiece plus prizes.

Short-round heartbreak was Colby Lovell’s when an illegal head catch cost the third-high-back header and his partner Russell Cardoza exactly $46,000.

Accolades were earned by young guns Jake and Clay O Smith, who bested their namesakes by roping well all day at their first BFI. And if anybody cowboyed up at the BFI, it was Jett Hillman, who finished the roping in the top 10 just two days after ripping apart his left rotator cuff.

Despite the pain and weakness in his rein hand, he earned $4,500. An MRI was scheduled the day after the BFI, and likely surgery thereafter.

Tryan rode to the win on his faithful 13-year-old gelding, Dew. The horse didn’t make one rodeo run in all of May and June

as Tryan prepared him specifically for the BFI. Graves estimated the pair practiced on 40 to 50 steers a day under BFI conditions.

Tryan’s third horse, Funky Town, carried Daniel Green to a $10,500 payday for fifth in the roping with Cody Cowden.

Graves is no slouch on horsepower, either. His 18-year-old gelding, Superstar, was the 2008 BFI Horse of the Year and worked flawlessly in 2012, too.

“I backed in there and was just thinking, ‘Do what you’ve done all day,’” said Graves. “’Finish it.’”

The Minors had definitely applied some heat. Despite a 10-second run in the third round, they battled back to nearly win the roping just a few weeks after Riley’s recovery from a badly broken leg.

“It’s still a little weak,” said Riley, who spent nine weeks rehabilitating the leg. “I still can’t ride quite as good as I used to.”

But the brothers’ biggest problem was how to fit all their loot in their trailer – including three trophy saddles. Riley’s 9year-old gelding, Ketchup, was chosen BFI Head Horse of the Year. Riley had traded Tanner Bryson for the horse in February, immediately won $12,000 at the Mike Cervi Memorial – and then broke his leg.

As for Brady, he rode an unseasoned 8year-old chestnut he calls Ray that he bought from Dean Tuftin.

“That horse proved himself today,” said Brady. “He hadn’t been taking the crowds real well, and he acted like we were at home today. You’re fixing to see me on that horse a lot.”

The BFI Heel Horse of the Year title went to Brad Culpepper’s little palomino

tobiano Paint gelding, Preacher. The 13-year-old horse was purchased unbroke years ago by Culpepper’s father for $800 from a country preacher (hence the nickname).

The BFI is held annually in conjunction with the outdoor “Wildest, Richest Rodeo in the West” in Reno (performances this year were held June 14-23). Announcers at the BFI were Reed Flake, Darren Moore and Dru Stewart, while Philip Murrah flagged the roping and Steve Branco and Danny Martinez served as line judges.

In addition to the Silver Legacy Resort Casino, which is the official headquarters of the BFI, 2012 sponsors include Wrangler, Justin Boots, Ram Rodeo, Priefert Ranch Equipment, Cactus Ropes, Running P Ropes and Saddles, Resistol, Reno Rodeo, Ropes Galore, Classic Ropes, Coats Saddlery, B&W Trailer Hitches, Cactus Saddlery, Lazy “L” Saddles, Ropers Sports News, Best Ever Pads, Pendleton Whisky, Boot Barn, D-M Western Store, Cinderella Roping Horses, Lubrisyn, Heel-O-Matic, Mike Cervi Memorial Team Roping, Myler Bits, Montana Silversmiths, Silver Lining Herbs, TotalTeamRoping.com, Tolani Lake Roping and Western Horseman.

VS Hits New Mexico

T

wo horses in Otero County, New Mexico tested positive for the reportable disease vesicular stomatitis on April 30 and was confirmed May 1, by the USDA. was the first confirmation of VSV in the U.S. since the June 2010 outbreak in Cochise County, Arizona.

The USDA and the New Mexico Livestock Board initiated an epidemiological investigation, and the farm went under quarantine. Three other unaffected horses located on the index premises were also isolated from the positive animals. As of May 31 the quarantine for Vesicular Stomatitis in Otero County was been lifted but a new case was recently been detected in Valencia county.

The new VS cases were located in the town of Peralta, just south of Albuquerque. This second case represents a northern movement of the virus that has been typical in past years and the primary spread of VS is thought to occur through insect vectors that migrate along river valleys, such as the Rio Grande River.

With this second case confirmed, the New Mexico Livestock Board is requiring that all livestock leaving Valencia must have an

THE

inspection by a New Mexico Livestock Board inspector if moving within the state of New Mexico. In addition, all livestock traveling to any event across the state must obtain a Veterinary Inspection, (CVI) within seven days of transport as well as brand inspections. Those traveling outside of the state also need certification and brand documentation.

Additional information about these recent outbreaks and certificate information with specific wording for traveling inside the state of New Mexico, as well as those traveling out of state can be found on the New Mexico Livestock Board website, www.nmlbonline.com.

Horse owners in the surrounding counties, including Soccorro, Bernalillo and Santa Fe, as well as areas in route from Albuquerque, northward into Colorado along the Rio Grande Valley need to be aware of the outbreak and encouraged to keep close attention to their

ALL-AROUND

horses and report any possible threats of the disease to the New Mexico Livestock Board.

You should also be in contact with your local veterinarian for important information on VS in your area.

Vesicular Stomatitis is a viral disease that primarily affects cattle, horses, and swine.

Symptoms in horses include blister-like lesions in the mouth, tongue, lips and nose, as well as along the coronary band and on the udder or sheath. Humans can also become infected with the disease when handling affected animals, but this is rare. Flies are believed to be a vector in the spread of VS, and the virus can be transmitted through shared equipment such as bridles or buckets.

Livestock owners are advised to control flies in order to minimize transmission of the disease and to be cautious with feeding equipment, cleaning tools or health care equipment from other herds.

Since the original writing of this article, there have been more reported cases of Vesicular Stomatitis (VS) To date, 11 premises are now under quarantine. The counties of Otero, Valencia, Socorro and San Miguel have confirmed positive VS cases. The counties of Dona Ana and Roosevelt have also had suspect cases. The counties of Bernalillo and Santa Fe are considered high risk for cases of VS. Please consult with you veterinarian or find out more by going to the NM Livestock Board website at www.nmlbonline.com.

USTRC - The Priefert Open Tour

by Ben Clements

E

arlier this year the USTRC made some changes to the Priefert US Open Tour. The decision was made to include some major Open Team Roping Events as part of the tour and the program. After discussions with the producers of these great events it was confirmed that six major Open Ropings would come on board with the Priefert US Open Tour Championships. The SandHills Classic, Wild Fire Open to the World, Mike Cervi Memorial, James Pickens Jr. Foundation Team Roping, Windy Ryon Memorial and the Bob Feist Invitational was welcomed in. These events are certainly some of the most prestigious and well attended Open events.

The ropings all fit together like a pair of classy silk gloves that are indicative of the caliber of ropers that choose to participate. Bringing together an elite group focused on the Prefeirt Open Tour there is a mission in mind and ropers relish the opportunity the tour offers.

The 20th Annual SandHills Invitational Team Roping Classic, held in conjunction with the Sandhills PRCA rodeo, is often referred to as the jumping off point for the New Year for professional ropers. Held in the Ector County Coliseum in Odessa, Texas on January 20, 2012, the SandHills Classic is an all day event that caters to those ropers who choose to participate in hopes of setting a winning standard for a new roping season.

Eric Rogers and Kory Koontz won the average at the SandHills Classic with a time of 30.33 on five head of steers to pocket $15,805 along with a very prestigious prizeline. Caleb Smidt and Cole Davidson placed second in the average on five head of steers. The pair had a time of 30.97 to put $10,536 in the bank.

February moved Open Ropers to Salado, Texas for the 13th Annual Wildfire Open to the World, held at the World Famous Wildfire Arena on February 10-11, 2012. It was a trip well

worth the effort for ropers Bubba Buckaloo and Dakota Kirchenschlager.

The pair nailed down the win in the average of the Wildfire Open to the World with a time of 45.11 on six head of steers to take $100,000 to the bank, as well as some great prizes. Brady Tryan an Bronc Cresta placed second in the average with a time of 46.72 on six head of steers to pocket $27,500.

The Mike Cervi Memorial Team Roping was next on the agenda. The event took place at the Casa Grande Rodeo Grounds in Casa Grande, Arizona on February 21, 2012. This year young gun Kaleb Driggers from Albany, Georgia and current World Champion Jhett Johnson from Casper, Wyoming finished in first place. Second was Riley

Minor from Ellensburg, Washington and Monty Joe Petska from Turlock, California. Third place was Driggers and Jade Corkill from Lipan, Texas.

April unfolded with California being the host state for Open Ropers. The 3rd Annual James Pickens, Jr. Foundation Roping was held at the Tejon Ranch in Lebec, California the weekend of April 24th. The state of Montana combined with the state of Arizona when Dustin Bird and BJ Campbell won the average at the James Pickens Roping with a time of 34.14 on five head of steers to put $9,314 in the bank. Drew Horner and Brandon Bates captured second place in the average with a time of 36.95 to pocket $5,588 in winnings.

The month of May kicked off the Windy Ryon Memorial Roping in Saginaw, Texas. The roping was held Memorial Day Weekend and despite windy conditions ropers gathered to see exactly how things would unfold. When the numbers were counted and documented Texas team ropers Nathan McWhorter and Casey Chamberlain took the win in the average of the Open at the Windy Ryon with a time of 38.92 on five head of steers for $16,500.

David and Ryan Motes placed second in the average with a time of 39.41 on five head to put $11,000 in their bank accounts. Turtle Powell and Travis Graves placed third in the average with a time of 39.80 to make them

$8,500 richer.

At time of the writing of this article the Bob Feist Invitational was yet to happen. It is a great event and has been taken over this year by Ullman Peterson Events and is held June 18, 2012 at the Reno Livestock Events Center. It is on track to be a great team roping and the USTRC is certainly proud to have it on board.

All of these events plus the Open Divisions at the USTRC Sanctioned Events across the Country lead to the cumulation of the Priefert US Open Tour. That end comes at the Cinch USTRC National Finals of Team Roping on October 22, 2012 with the Priefert US Open.

National All Amateurs – Refined and New

A

lthough the National All Amateurs Team Roping Tour, with its owner Ty Yost is once again spending the summer months up north, Arizona ropers can look forward to the Tour’s return next fall full of new formats and surprises. An all-new website facelift (naateamroping.com), complete with video and even more content has the NAATRT attracting more attention, while the Tour itself is expanding and offering more to team ropers.

The big news of the NAATRT is the introduction of the new MegaBucks ropings. Although the Tour event has always attracted ropers with lower fee ropings and will continue to offer these types of ropings, the new MegaBucks roping increases the fees, opening the door for ropers to win more money in events with less teams. In Ty’s words he says, “I realize that this format isn’t for everyone, but I also know that are a few of our members who want to have higher entry fees and fewer teams to compete against.”

The new MegaBucks roping is already underway throughout the northern states where Yost spends his summers, but the good news for Arizona ropers is that this Fall, with his return to Arizona, all of the kinks should be worked out and the format should be a redi-made fit for ropers who enjoy these types of events.

Heading back into the website, the new format is really cool. Although it may lack all of the glitz and shimmers of some sites ropers head to often, the information for the NAATRT is complete, offering easy navigation, plenty of information on upcoming events, event results and updates on changes and additions to the Tour and ropings. Additionally, the site has intriguing information and commentary from Yost about things happening inside the sport of team roping. He hits hot

topics and allows ropers to understand what is going on inside the sport from a producer’s standpoint.

The NAATRT is continuing to offer team ropers more. It is growing into new realms of the sport, and Yost and his crew work hard to make their events fun, exciting and enjoyable for a variety of ropers. The new website upgrade and new formats continue to make both the Western Frontier Tour, as well as the Sun Country Tour one every roper can look forward to when they roll back into town.

THE

ALL-AROUND

Lee Anderson Horseman of the Old School

Story and Photos Compliments of Jim Olson

L

iving historian, author and superb horseman, Lee Anderson, is a student shall we say master - of the old Vaquero “Bridle Horse” methods. He jokingly admits, “I am probably the only Swedish vaquero you’ll ever meet.”

Born in Iowa, Lee has had a life-long affection for horses. He has ridden and trained in just about every genre of horsemanship, from Western to English and from the show ring to the pasture. He can drive two, four, six and even an eight-up team hitched to a wagon!

He has trained and shown in reining, pleasure and trail and also worked with dressage, hackney, jumpers and of course, the Western cow-horse. His passion however, is the “Bridle Horse.”

For those who aren’t quite sure what a “Bridle Horse” is, it refers to a horse trained in the old Vaquero methods — methods not seen much in this country for 100-plus years. A layman will recognize a bridle horse as one which eventually ends up in the use of a spade bit. Many people are taken aback by the spade and automatically assume it is a harsh bit based upon its appearance. Not true. In the wrong hands, any bit is harsh. Lee quotes, “All souls criticize that which they do not understand.” A horse trained in this method responds to a feather’s touch of the reins.

In the hands of a true bridle horseman, a well-trained bridle horse is pure poetry in motion. For example, it has been recorded that the old Vaqueros were big sportsman and loved to show off at festive occasions. One such game played went something like this: A hair was plucked from the horse’s tail and the

“breakaway” in the reins was replaced with said tail hair. This meant if you pulled any harder than necessary to break the hair, your reins broke. The horse was then blindfolded and put through a series of intricate moves, showing its pure trust in the rider. For the finale, horse and rider ran full-tilt, straight at a solid wall. The team stopping closest to the wall, without hitting the wall or breaking the “breakaway hair” was the winner and the Vaquero considered a top horseman. (Before criticizing a contest such as this, keep in mind it was a different time, place and culture.)

When asked why old methods such as these are fading, Lee responds, “In today’s day and age, not many are willing to spend half a lifetime learning the proper methods of horsemanship so they can spend four or five years training a horse this way.” Lee is passionate about it however and says, “It’s like driving a high performance sports car.

Whatever you want is there…and at a touch.

To a learned master such as Lee, he realizes every piece of the horseman and horse’s gear work intricately together to achieve an eventual result with the slightest of effort. He says, “The spade is a bit of signals.

When properly used, a horse receives signals long before he ever feels the bit and responds before the bit is ever actually used.” Each piece of the tack and gear are a part of that signal system, not to mention the rider himself. Lee can pull the bridle off his horse and perform intricate maneuvers using nothing more than body language. Anderson uses a piece of string as a “breakaway” in his reins every day. Much like the old Vaqueros and their horsehair, if he uses more than just a slight tap of pressure on the reins, they break!

After many years of being fascinated with horses, Lee chose to concentrate on this old style of horsemanship because he felt it most in tune with the horse. After a lifetime of studying what makes a horse tick, Anderson has even written a book on the subject.

Developing the Art of Equine Communications is all about how to communicate with your horse, from a horse’s understanding and point of view. In Lee’s opinion, the bridle horse style of horsemanship comes closest to that.

He studied horses and how they react to certain situations for over half a century. He noticed that most times, communications with a horse are approached from a human point of view, yet a horse can only understand things from a horse’s viewpoint. Lee has made

The bow

it his life’s work to understand more from the horse’s view.

Lee has been known to spend hours sitting in a pasture full of horses just watching them.

He studies their moves with each other in natural surroundings - how they interact together. Most people know, by nature, a horse is a “prey” animal, but few think of that when dealing with a horse. Man is, by nature, a predator and horses are easily scared of them.

Lee is probably one of the best modern-day trainers who understand the philosophy of a horse, from the horse’s perspective. He felt compelled to write Developing the Art of Equine Communications to clear up some of the myths and misinformation out there.

As a historian, Lee does a presentation called Four Hundred Years of Southwest Cowboys. He does this in any one of three different outfits: A 1750 Spanish Colonial Caballero, an 1850 Mexican Vaquero or an 1890 American Cowboy. For each look, he has all of the period correct clothing and gear for rider and horse. The outfit may change depending upon what the situation calls for, but the historical presentation is tailored to fit what the client asks for. Lee goes over the evolution of the cowboy from its origins, beginning with the Spanish Hacendado (rancher) of the mid-1500s up through today.

The first brand laws were recorded in New Spain (now Mexico) in 1529 and Lee is well versed in the history of the Vaquero - Cowboy from then through today.

Lee says, “We must include the Spanish origins in the history of the cowboy because the Vaquero was rounding up, roping, and branding cattle more than 300 years before the first American cowboy ever threw a leg over a horse. By 1800 a highly sophisticated Vaquero culture had reached its peak in what is now the state of California. To this day, no mounted herdsman on earth has ever

THE

The Jaquima horse

achieved the elegance, the presence, the beautiful equipment, the exquisite horsemanship or the sheer artistry of the everyday working “Californio.”

He has spent much time and research in getting his outfits correct for each time period as well. Everything Lee puts on he and his horse is either an authentic antique piece or a reproduction from the period, made by Lee himself. He says, “The Vaquero was a flashy dresser. He was extremely proud of his status amongst his peers. Then, due to the influence of the emerging American Cowboy culture the

Mexican Vaquero lost quite a bit of the elegance and finesse of the Spanish Colonial Vaquero but he never fully accepted all of the trappings and methods of the American cowboy culture…these things are covered at length in mya presentation. The heyday of the American Cowboy only covered about 20 years… The modern image of the cowboy is loosely based on the drovers that made the three month long (cattle) drives. The cowboy most people are familiar with today is purely a Hollywood creation. However, my preference just happens to be the real cowboys and I am well aware of the difference between ‘reel cowboys’ and ‘real cowboys.’”

Besides having a life-long passion for understanding what makes a horse tick, and the history of the cowboy, Anderson is a study of human nature as well. He is extremely good-natured and has a wry sense of humor. Lee claims, “I intend to live to be 125 and not die from at the PROOF VSA natural causes, but IN HOUSE hands of a thirty-year-old, jealous spouse!” You gotta love a man past seventy with an attitude like that!

Who’s Hot!

A

OD E D N O R OU P R U

nother month is gone and like the weather, the rodeo trail is heating up. From the sunny state of Arizona, several rodeo competitors have inked their way into what looks like a solid run of consistent winning. The biggest name to hit the top of the pages in recent months is Sally Jane Brown. She has edged a comfortable lead in the GCPRA breakaway roping event, with a little more than a $1,200 cushion between her and second place in the standings. Brown added to her winning at two recent GCPRA events, including a breakaway win at the Verde Valley Fair and Rodeo in Cottonwood, as well as a fourth and fifth place split at the

ALL-AROUND

Copper Dust Stampede in Globe. Also hitting the winning ways in Arizona is bareback rider Tony Buckman. He took the win at the Copper Dust Stampede and won both first and second place at the Verde Valley Fair and Rodeo. The two wins has helped edged Buckman into the GCPRA leader standings, but not by much. John Killian who placed at both events is not far behind and will keep things hot in the event throughout the remainder of the GCPRA 2012 season.

In New Mexico, recent event shined bright for team roper header, Cooper Wimberly. He placed first and second at the Old Fort Days in Fort Sumner, New Mexico filling his pockets with some of this years NMRA cash. He won the event with heeler

Looking Ahead

S

tep outside and no doubt you will notice that summer is here. Yep, in a few days there will be fireworks blazing overhead and the smell hamburgers and hotdogs grilling throughout neighborhoods all across the country. For cowboys and cowgirls, the month ahead will find many hitting the highway each and every weekend to help fill that desire to compete in the oldest sport in the country – rodeo!

The southwest is full of rodeo events, and the upcoming July 4 celebrations, as well as the weeks beyond will play host to a number of great, historic and some rather new events that competitors can enjoy. Beginning with the big July 4 weekend, rodeo competitors have lots to look forward to. From Association driven rodeos to Open events, the weekend is packed full of rodeos all across the Southwest.

One of the biggest events of the long cowboy celebrated weekend is the Red Ryder Roundup in Pagosa Springs, Colorado. This year’s event will host the rodeo’s 63rd year and has been a celebrated tradition of rodeo talents and fans that enjoy the weekend’s events including a parade, carnival attractions and a whole lot more. The rodeo will be sanctioned once again by the NMRA, with several other rodeo associations cosanctioning it.

Talk about tradition, how about a 100th annual rodeo that will be hosted this year.

The Round Valley Rodeo, hosted in

Springerville / Eagar, Arizona is an Open to the world rodeo that has become a historic event in the sunshine state. The one day rodeo event sponsored by the Apache County Sherriff’s Posse is surrounded with a whole weekend of celebration, including dances, Parade and much more. The small community rolls out the red carpet for this event each year and rodeo cowboys and cowgirls keep the tradition alive with their annual trek to the Round Valley Rodeo.

Over the past several years, Grants, New Mexico has become a hotspot for rodeo contestants over the July 4th weekend. The Wild West Days Rodeo hosts a weekend packed full of events for every caliber of rodeo contestant. It hosts a double performance Open rodeo on Wednesday, July 4th, as well as a team roping on Thursday and Friday evenings.

The weekend is capped off with an Open NBHA barrel race on Saturday, as well as a junior rough stock event on Saturday evening and a junior timed event rodeo all day Sunday. There is plenty to do in Grants for the entire family.

The tradition of many cowboys and cowgirls over the rodeo weekend has been to head to the cool mountains of Mescalero and Capitan, New Mexico for two different events. The Mescalero Indian Ceremonial and Rodeo hosted each day from July 4 through the 7th is a hit among many of the best contestants around. The daily event begins at 1:30 and

Pedro Maestas and took home second place with heeler, Diego Castillo. In the New Mexico bareback riding event, a name continues to appear inside the standings at different events. Zach Nugent may be a rookie to the field of tough bareback riders, but his continuing statement at events has him clawing his way up the ranks of the standings.

Lastly, who can reject calf roper, Kyle Dutton of any recognition? He filled the pages in last months issue of The AllAround with a big win at the Joes Boot Shop roping in the Open tiedown event and the Chuck Sheppard Memorial event, where he took top honors as well. Dutton, a Los Lunas, New Mexico cowboy has long been a tough competitor in the tiedown roping

and seeing his name among two big events in the same month give him credibility as a one of the Southwest’s current stars.

Turning attention to the All Indians Rodeo Cowboys Association, AIRCA, the event standings are tight. The biggest leads are in the Open events, both on the header and heeler side of things. Looking at the headers, the name Sells claims both the number one and two positions in the standings. Marco Sells sits at the number one spot about $600 in front of Chuck Sells. For AIRCA heelers. O.J. Williams has a little bit more of a cushion in the number one slot in the standings. His $4,162 gives him a little more than a $1,100 lead over long time team roping veteran, Victor Begay.

the weekend is full of fun activities and celebration. From there, contestants can drive about 50 miles to attend this year’s 57th Annual Smokey Bear Stampede Rodeo that kicks into gear at 7 p.m. each day from July 4 through the 7th. No doubt, being able to attend 8 different performances at two different rodeos in a matter of a few days makes this one great place if you are a rodeo cowboy or cowgirls wanting to make a big weekend out of the July 4.

The AIRCA also has an event that will be played out over the long July 4th weekend. It will be hosted in Chinle, Arizona on July 6-7, 2012. The great All Indian rodeo association will keep things rolling throughout July with events in Coolfield, Arizona on the 14-15 as well as Dulce, New Mexico on July 20-21 and Cownpoint, New Mexico on July 28-29.

The CPRA will host several events that co-sanction with other associations. This includes the Montrose rodeo on July 2012, as well as the Westcliffe rodeo on the same weekend. Both of these events are also NMRA and GCPRA con-sanctioned.

Working with the GCPRA even further, the CPRA rodeo association will also host the Norwood, Colorado rodeo on July 27-28, as well as the big 77th Annual, Durango Fiesta Days celebration on July 27-29.

The NMRA will co-sanction the rough stock side of things at the Bikini Barrel Race and Rough Stock rodeo in Belen, New Mexico on July 28, and will kick into gear hosting the Sandoval County Rodeo

in Cuba, New Mexico during the first weekend of August. From there, the NMRA will be on the downhill slide hosting a slew of rodeos as they go towards this year’s NMRA Finals that will wrap things up in the Fall.

In addition to the Southwest’s rodeo association events, there will be a plenty of Open rodeos to fill the adrenaline thirst of rodeo cowboys and cowgirls throughout July. The famed Rodeo De Galisteo rodeo will play out on July 21-22 with two days of Open rodeo action. This event is always a hit and sure to be a great one again this year. In addition, contestants can look forward to an Open rodeo in Moriarty, New Mexico on July 7-8. This event will host something for everyone, including open events, as well as novice and junior events throughout the weekend. For the wild bull riders, the Wild Thing Championship Bullriding will hit dead middle of the month in Gallup, New Mexico. The July 13-14 event is always a hit, and with a personal challenge form the producer inviting every bull rider from miles around to come and challenge the ranks of the Wild Thing Bulls, as well as the huge cash purse, this year’s event is sure to be huge.

B Y R YA N D AV I S Tobey– Well, this month I come to you all with a heavy heart. Although my family and I have not been present at too many Jr. rodeos this year, we have continued to keep our little string of horses tuned up in anticipation of our return this fall. However, the next rodeo we head to we will be short one little brown horse who has made quite a name for himself across the state of New Mexico. Tobey, who we picked up several years ago from a friend, has taken two of my boys to championship status over the past couple of years. They both won saddles on this little horse and through that time we have met a lot of people who knew Tobey by sight, maybe from past ownership when he took their children to the pay window or by others who knew the little horse just from his presence across the Jr. rodeo world for many years.

For everyone who owned Tobey or had a chance to ride him at a rodeo, you can’t deny how great he was. He may not have been the fastest horse in the field, but consistency was his game. His biggest accomplishment, however, was sort of hidden under his brown hair. It was his ability to give his riders courage and build their confidence inside the rodeo arena.

For those kids who grew up on the back of Tobey over the years, I am sure there is something special you can remember. His love of cherry licorice, his little dance at the beginning of a run inside the arena, or maybe just his kind eye when brushing him, Tobey truly cared for those who rode and cared for him.

On Monday, June 18, Tobey was found lying motionless in his pen. No sign of struggle, nothing out of the ordinary, just a horse lying next to the fence that separated him from his stable mate friend. My boys found it hard to understand that Tobey had passed and tears were either swallowed hard or shed down their cheeks throughout the day as we took Tobey to his final resting place on a ranch under some pinon trees.

Thinking back today, I want to thank Tobey for all of the great memories he gave me. His jog to the trailer, and up and in when it was time to rodeo, the strength and adrenaline he showed every time you walked into the arena, the easy feeling of knowing he was going to take care of my boys and most of all, his help to bring my family together at different rodeo events. These are things I will never forget and always cherish.

We had a great Memorial Day weekend with Dawn Hoselton winning the Target saddle and Falena Dale the two day average. Then our members who went to Las Vegas also came home with money led by top money winner Haley Wolfe. Haley then capped off that win by sweeping our June 10th race so we all are rooting for her at the HS finals! We had a meeting a decided that after trying the 5D format we decided to go back to the 4D format, regardless of the number of

entries. It keeps the point system in line with year end finals. We will continue to put the bulk of our added money into the finals and hope to make it to $10K or even more this year. The youth are working on a raffle for a 1/2 of beef to be given away at the August County Fair. A big thanks to the Doyle’s for getting this started. We welcome Trennary Turner as a new member and also welcome Crimson and Cream Photography who have been getting some awesome shots.

You can find them on Facebook. Good luck over the 4th and enjoy your summer!

Farnam® Introduces Centaura™ Insect Repellent For Horse and Rider The First and Only Spray of Its Kind – Formulated With Picaridin

Have you been waiting for an insect repellent that you can use with confidence on your horse . . . and your entire family?

The wait is over! Farnam introduces Centaura™ Insect Repellent for Horse and Rider – the first and only insect repellent for both horse and rider that is registered in the United States by the EPA, and the only one with Picaridin as the active ingredient.

Farnam® Centaura™ Insect Repellent for Horse and Rider provides horses with effective protection from flies and mosquitoes for 12 hours. Since your horse is not the only one bugged by these flying, biting pests, this long-lasting spray also provides effective 12-hour protection for the entire family from mosquitoes, including mosquitoes carrying West Nile Virus, and ticks. It also repels biting flies, stable flies, black flies, gnats, chiggers and sand flies for up to 8 hours.

“The convenient 15-ounce size and locking cap make Farnam® Centaura™ Insect Repellent great for travel, the trail and for competition,” said Martha Lefebvre, marketing manager for Farnam Horse Products. “And best of all it is no longer necessary to carry separate protection from flies, mosquitoes and ticks for you and your horse . . . Farnam® Centaura™ Insect Repellent is the only insect repellent you will need to keep in the barn to protect you both.”

This exceptional, non-aerosol spray works at any angle, even upside down, to Continued on page 82

get to those hard-to-reach places. Just press on the nozzle for a consistent, continuous spray that provides uniform coverage.

One 15-ounce container lasts for 8 to 15 horses/applications.

This pleasantly scented spray is quiet, efficient and easy to use, and will not leave an oily or greasy residue on your skin or your horse’s hair coat.

Picaridin, the active ingredient in Farnam® Centaura™ Insect Repellent for Horse and Rider, has been tested and recommended by several authorities as safe, effective and the preferred alternative to DEET. It is recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO), as the repellent of choice to protect against malaria-carrying mosquitoes, and is on the list of products considered by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control to be effective against the transmission of West Nile Virus.

“Unlike other insect repellents on the market containing DEET, Centaura™ insect repellent will not damage saddles or bridles, nor will it damage plastic or other synthetic materials,” Lefebvre added. “Also, the steel can is made of recyclable steel to be environmentally friendly.”

Farnam® Centaura™ Insect Repellent for Horse and Rider is an official fly control product of the American Quarter Horse Association, United States Equestrian Federation and Horse Shows Sun.

JULY 2012

ALL-AROUND

The Two Mikes

I

like to fix stuff that’s broken. In that regard, I should have been a mechanic or a marriage counselor. My antique dealer friends, who bring their broken things to me to fix, say that if you want to get me to pay more for something, just break it.

One of my latest fixes was a Circle Y saddle that Cowboy Mike purchased and brought to me to repair. We call him Cowboy Mike because, as a picker, he specializes in cowboy stuff; not because he ropes steers or lives like a hermit in a line shack.

I happen to like Circle Y saddles so I was brokenhearted to see the one Cowboy Mike purchased at a yard sale real cheap.

It was a custom saddle covered in chrome, with well tooled tapaderos hanging from its fenders. It showed hardly any signs of use or mistreatment except for a silver-dollar-size hole right in the middle of the padded seat. That’s why it was so cheap.

My guess is that a mouse probably liked Circle Y saddles too and started munching on this one in its softest spot.

Like most people, Mike wanted me to fix the saddle but didn’t want to spend a lot of money. This ruled out taking the intricate saddle apart, putting in a new seat and rebuilding it, so I did a patch job, matching the color and stitch style to the best of my ability. I dare say, when I was done you could hardly tell where it had been patched and Mike was so pleased he gave me a $20 bonus!

On the same day another dealer friend of mine, also named Mike, brought me a pair of spurs to repair that he’d just bought at a swap meet. The spurs looked old and were in the early California vaquero style so popular today amongst collectors.

Mike was looking to make a 1,000% return on his cheap purchase price, or he just might keep them for his own collection, he liked them so much.

In the course of fixing the spurs I thought I saw the faint outline of a maker’s mark so, with some very fine steel wool and WD40, I uncovered what looked like a “C” under the rust, then an “H” and then an “I”. It was at this point that I started to get a bad feeling. Next I uncovered a faint “N” and finally an “A”. That’s right, the antique collectible spurs in the “California style” had been made in CHINA! By CHINESE!! Maybe even last month!!!

Now I had a real dilemma on my hands. Mike is the nicest guy I know and I didn’t want to embarrass him, nor did I want to hurt his feelings because he’d made such a boneheaded mistake. If word of this ever got out in the picker community he’d never live it down. What should I do? I could file the word “China” off, but as a purist I felt that wasn’t right. On the other

83

hand, Mike is a sensitive individual and I didn’t want to do anything to harm our valued friendship. So I told him I really liked the spurs too and asked if he’d consider trading them to me for a genuine pair of Crockett spurs. He reluctantly agreed and made it clear that it was only because we were so close that he’d do the deal. So I gave him a nice pair from my collection and cut up the Chinese reproductions and threw them away in order to save him any embarrassment.

Last week we were all standing around prior to an estate sale when un-cowboy-like Mike gathered up all the pickers to make the announcement that he’d tricked the so-called cowboy expert (that would be me) and got a pair of Crocketts for a worthless pair made in CHINA! By CHINESE!! Probably last month!!!

The rascal had known all along.

My reputation was ruined and I thought the least that Cowboy Mike could have done at the time was come to my defense by saying what an expert job I’d done on his saddle. But no, he stood there and laughed at me like all the rest. Ha, ha, what an idiot Pitts is.

There are many morals to this true story such as: “Honesty is the best policy.” Or, “You are judged by the company you keep.” But I think the best lesson I learned from this humiliating experience was simply this: “DON’T have friends named Mike.” wwwLeePittsbooks.com
