THE

Competitorial I

know I’m in the minority, but I have to admit that I like Monday mornings. Even though my list of things to get done for the week is almost always longer at the end of the day than at its start, it’s always kind of like Christmas morning. It seems most of the time there is some kind of surprise waiting for me; either on my phone, in the form of a ranting message, by email, or even a phone call….yes, people still actually call and speak once in a while.

It’s unavoidable, especially this time of year, with weekends filled with rodeos, team ropings and the like, that someone is going to get stirred up over one thing or another and is looking for a way to let the world know about it. Actually, it’s pretty interesting, with most just wanting to vent, some wanting to enlist my support in righting a perceived wrong, and still others who just can’t contain the excitement of a win (my personal favorite.) Whatever the circumstance or the category in which it falls, just when I think I’ve heard just about every kind of story of success or injustice, I’m surprised by a new one.

This morning, I hit the trifecta!

Collecting my phone from its charger on the way out of the house, I was already off to a good start, finding that it still powered up following a damp ending to a Sunday afternoon… whew… one bullet dodged. On the way to the office, it was already evident that there had been plenty of activity… missed calls… multiple text messages… good God!

Missed calls… 11:41 p.m., 11:42 p.m., 11:47 p.m. … all from the same number, no message. Odd… if you couldn’t get me at 11:41, or 11:42, why would you think I might answer five minutes later? On to the text messages… Now it gets good…

First, I have to admit to being a little old school when it comes to texting. I’m the one who spends the extra two minutes proofing my messages, making sure spelling, grammar and punctuation is correct… or pretty close… before I hit “send.” I know as the recipient, you most likely don’t care either way, so its two minutes wasted, but it just feels wrong (or lazy) of me to do it otherwise.

Evidently, whoever it was that sent these messages did not share my texting neurosis.

WOW… I have never seen so many different thoughts expressed in as many one letter words, on as many different topics, ever before. After reading it at least four times and trying to decipher the short essay, I still wasn’t sure what it was about. I was further confused by the two messages that followed it, both referring to and elaborating on the first…which of course led back to trying to figure out the original.

Looking for more clues I saw it was from the same number as the phone calls, sent 11:48 p.m., 11:55 p.m. and 11:56. Even now, putting all the pieces of the puzzle together, the best I can tell is this guy loved his horses (and pigs???), loved me for loving mine (I don’t have any pigs)… and continued on page 34

Wild Thing – Wilder Than Ever!

T

he wildest bull riding in the Southwest once again lived up to its name in mid-July, coming alive with the electricity that only the this event can produce. The Wild Thing Bull Riding hit Red Rock Park in Gallup, New Mexico with a full load of some of the toughest bull riders in the country. Bull riders matched the cry from producer Larry Peterson who called them out, urging

them to enter up for a chance to win big. With a full boat of PHOTOS COURTESY OF NAKAI RODEO PHOTOS ninety riders three qualified rides on Friday night, the matched up against some of the rankest event started strong and welcomed the bulls in the territory, the event was a following night’s performance with spectacle of great bull riding action, pure adrenaline. mixed with entertainment and Mother Saturday kicked off in fine fashion.

Nature that made this year’s event one Over 5,400 fans maxed out the Red Rock to remember.

The two-day event, held seating capacity for their share of the excitement of the last performance of the July 13 and 14, was full of 2012 Wild Thing. Opening up the action, excitement. Friday night’s the night seemed like another great performance kicked things addition to this event. However, Mother off with 45 bull riders Nature was among the spectators and trying to claim their share with about 15 riders still left in the event, of this year’s large payout. she let out her excitement in the form Close to 4,000 bull riding VSA the seats and IN HOUSE PROOF CRX’D of rain . fans filled “The rain started just after the they got their share of some of the best bull riding fireworks and fell down in waves,” said Travis Briscoe Peterson. “We held off for about 30 action of the year. With

minutes until it let up. Then we bucked the final section.”

With the heavy downpour and most of the action completed, spectators headed out the door. All but about 500 left, and when the rain stopped, those 500 bull riding fans got the show of their life.

The chutes were loaded and the final riders and bulls gave a showing that will go down in history. With water standing on the arena floor, thousands of dollars at stake and a fresh appeal to the event, three of the final 15 riders made their mark on the competition.

“The water would fly about 10 to 15 feet every time a bull would land,” said Peterson. “The fans who stuck around screamed just as loud as the 5,000 that had been there for the event. It was really wild!”

In the final group of riders who mucked their way through the water, the top two rides of the event were scored.

For the first time in the event’s history, an identical score paired up the championship. Travis Briscoe of New Mexico and Hadley Miller of Arizona both scored 94 points to share the victory. They earned just over $5,300 each and flipped a coin for the championship buckle. Peterson later had Red Bluff Buckle make a second championship buckle for Briscoe who fell short in the coin flip.

The Wild Thing once again proved it is one of the biggest events of the year.

This year’s event witnessed a total of eight qualified rides out of ninety riders.

Like years past though, every rider who made a qualified ride made a trip to the pay window.

“I was really proud of the riders this year,” said Peterson.

According to Peterson, his friend Walt Eddy who produces many team roping events in New Mexico said that the Wild Thing has the biggest crowd of any other event in the state except for the Ty Murry Invitational, the

PBR event held annually in Albuquerque. The Wild Thing has proven over the years to be one of the hottest attractions for Gallup and the state of New Mexico. Packed stands, great bull riding action, one of the best fireworks displays in the state and entertainment for all, the event has continued to grow with each and every year. Much of this growth comes from the proud sponsors of the event who each year lend a monetary hand to make it happen. These include: Propane Exceptional Energy, Alon, Pepsi, Rico Autoplex, Toshiba, Red Roof Inn, Jiffy Lube, Boot Barn, Pinacle Bank, City of Gallup Lodgers Tax, Big Cheese Pizza and Ole Energy.

You can bet the plans are already underway for next year’s event.

Marked as the 20th anniversary, The 2013 Wild Thing will bring a punch, packed with more prizes, larger payout and more action. Peterson guarantees it!

Roping for All

O

ver the past eight years the Ted Merideth Memorial Roping has made a big impression on ropers of Arizona. The event had grown into a great event ropers don’t miss. This years event was witness of that as ropers from far and wide made their way to Young, Arizona for a chance to compete at the memorial event.

What make this event great are not only the big payouts, but the cool prizes that fit the winning ropers. This year’s event included prizes such as Engraved .44. Lever-Action rifles, specialty trophy saddles and buckles, as well as Handcrafted spurs made by Ted Meredith. These awesome prizes were scattered throughout the event and awarded to many different winners. The rifles were given to the high money header and heeler of the weekend, while runner up in these categories received trophy saddles. The handcrafted spurs went home with the Average winners of the Open Draw and buckles were awarded to winners of every numbered roping, as well as the Jr. Boy and Girl

Open Draw Winners, Pedro Erurrola and T.J. Brown

and Senior high money winners.

The event also incorporated the Marsha Marcanti Memorial All-Girl roping. This roping awarded trophy saddles to the Average winners, buckles to second place and breast collars to third.

Three days of roping action and fun incorporated something for the whole family. Not only did the ropers have a chance to fill their need of fast horses, great cattle and flying loops, but the event also had a dummy roping, parade and petting zoo, as well as cowboy church on Sunday morning. No doubt this event has reached success and you can bet there will be many more years of accomplishments in line for it. If you missed it this year, don’t let it pass you by next summer. Make plans to be at the 9th Annual Ted Meredith Memorial

Roping next year for your chance to enjoy a great event under the great Arizona sun!

2nd Annual Four Corners Truck Roping

2012 Dodge Dually Truck Winner - Randy Mike

Double C Productions 2nd Annual #10 Truck Explosion drew over 1,000 teams and paid out over $70,000 in cash and prizes.

More than 1,000 teams roped at the 2nd Annual 4 Corner’s 5 & Under Truck Explosion held July 13, 14, and 15 in Farmington, New Mexico. The teams enjoyed the low entry fees and high payouts – $70,000 in cash and prizes over the three days.

On Friday the #12 and #11 started the day off as 200 teams took a run at the $1,000 added to the Hi Point Roper of the #12 and the #11 combined. It was a long time Arizona roper, Brian Adams who made the drive to the Four Corners area and walked away with the $1,000 added money. In the #12 roping Brian placed fourth in the Average with Ricardo Velasquiz. During the #11 Brian won the Go-Round with Tyler Donald and split fourth in the Average with Tyler Donald as well.

Saturday was more of the same – low fees, high payouts with 450 teams in the #5 & Under Truck Roping. The roping drew from all the surrounding states to take a run at the $70,000 in cash and prizes. It was Randy Mike’s day as he placed in the go-rounds and twice in the Average for a total of 47 points which

PHOTOS COURTESY OF POUNDING HOOVES PRODUCTIONS – MARK HUTCHINGS

was good enough to win the 2012 Dodge Dually Truck. He edged out the 2nd place roper, Clay Tsosie by 5 points.

On Sunday it was the #9 World Series Qualifier and 20 trophy buckles were on the line. Over 130 teams came from all over to run at the trophy buckles and the qualifying spot to the World Series finals in Las Vegas. The team of Adrain Dominguez and Travis Jodie came out on top by roping three steers in 25.61 and winning $2,100 and Gist buckles.

The 2nd Annual 4 Corner’s #10 Truck Explosion was a huge success and ropers really enjoyed themselves in Farmington.

It was certainly a roping you didn’t want to miss. Thanks to all the ropers who supported our annual roping in the Farmington area!

Gary Sprague The Singing Cowboy

Story and Photos Compliments of Jim Olson

A

Western icon, front and center in the minds of millions around the globe, is that of “The Silver Screen Cowboy.” Not many years ago you could see the hero on TV, in a white hat doing what was right while protecting the weak and innocent. The good guy so prevalent back then was likely a “singing cowboy.” When not fighting outlaws and protecting the innocent, he would make you feel good with a song.

The two who probably come to mind when thinking of singing cowboys are Gene Autry and Roy Rogers. There were many others, however, who were also popular at different times. Even John Wayne himself gave it a whirl as “Singing Sandy” early in his career.

In modern times guys like Rogers, Autry, Rex Allen, Tex Ritter, and others have largely been forgotten. What a shame. These guys were heroes on the big and small screen to a couple generations of Americans. During the peak of the singing cowboy era (the 1940s and early ‘50s) these guys were as big as Depp, Travolta, and Banderas are today. Well, as they say, “Gone but not forgotten.”

You’ll be happy to know there are still singing cowboys out there, riding the trails forged by the great ones from the past. One such man is Gary Sprague, unofficially dubbed, “The Arizona Singing Cowboy.”

When you first see him, you are immediately taken back to the days of the silver screen cowboy. Dressed in period clothing with authentic six shooters and guitar, and riding on his trusty horse, Dusty, Gary reminds you of the heroes of yesteryear.

He looks the part, can walk the walk, and talk the talk. He sings volumes of old-time cowboy favorites, recites cowboy poetry by the pages, and tells campfire stories like nobody’s business.

Gary is talented with a guitar and his booming voice will keep the attention of any crowd, even in large outdoor areas.

He has become one of the most highly sought-after entertainers in the world of cowboy entertainment. As a matter of fact, his sole source of income for the last couple decades has been that of a cowboy entertainer, portraying the old-time singing cowboy. Thousands of folks witness his shows each year. He is as genuine a singing cowboy as there ever was. What most don’t know, however, is that Gary’s calling in life came via an unlikely journey.

Gary was born during the 1950s in … of all places … upstate New York!

He grew up the son of a carpenter.

Once an adult, he was your typical eight-to-five employee working for corporate America, an everyday Joe from the East Coast. That is the box the world would have put him in,

but Gary thought different.

He had always enjoyed music and played in a band for many years. He even tried making a living as a musician during his early twenties, but you know how life goes for most: get married, get a job, bills start arriving, settle into a “normal” life. That was Gary Sprague’s story until his late thirties.

However, he always had affection for music and entertaining. He loved animals and spent a good deal of time around them when younger. He also enjoyed watching his silver screen heroes, the singing cowboys, and their portrayal of the great American West.

So, at the age of thirty-seven, Gary had a long talk with his wife… quit his job, “pulled up stakes,” and moved West!

Talk about a change of lifestyle. One day he’s an average guy from upstate New York, and the next he’s living in Arizona with no job and no real plan (or so some thought.) Gary, however, did have a plan: to play cowboy music.

In the beginning, he taught himself the words and chords to ninety different songs. He worked hard at being a musician, and his first break came in the form of a night gig at a famous Western steakhouse/lounge in the Scottsdale, Arizona area. He played country music there, but wondered about the true cowboy music.

As he worked hard to hone his craft

and become a better entertainer, he thought, “Where had all the cowboys gone?” Obviously Gene and Roy had retired long ago, but was there anyone like them anymore? All he saw were modern-day country singers and you can see them anywhere, even in New York! This was supposed to be the West! Gary began to notice a difference between country music and cowboy/western music.

He talked with colleagues about entertaining from a horse and met with resistance (not to mention a few giggles.) They said, “Nobody does that kind of thing anymore.” Not to be deterred, Gary borrowed a horse and sang in a parade a-horseback. The people who loaned him the horse thought that, since the horse was not all that well-behaved, he would give up and forget all of this nonsense about entertaining like that. Yet, just the opposite happened. He loved it! And, after a while, he had the horse acting much better as well. So good in fact, the people who owned the horse, now wanted him back to use for themselves.

After that, Gary decided he needed a horse of his own, and the rest, as they say, is history. His act evolved. He loved watching his singing cowboy heroes while growing up, and he now followed in their footsteps. Before you know it, he was outfitted with a big hat, wore chaps, gun belt, boots and spurs, and had a handkerchief around his neck when he went to work.

Talk about a cool job, it was just like being a kid again!

He learned more old-time songs, recited poetry, and told cowboy stories. He worked hard at portraying the almost forgotten singing cowboy.

VSA IN HOUSE PROOF CRX’D He studied Old West history for countless hours, he made it his business to know all about “real”cowboys and “reel” cowboys. One makes a living loosely portraying the other so he found out all he could about both. continued on page 28

Hard work paid off. One thing led to another and word got around about this “singing cowboy” feller. Gary was invited to play many famous Old West haunts. He also became a regular fixture in Old Town Scottsdale during the tourist season. Since the town touts itself as the West’s most Western town, there ought to be at least one cowboy there for the tourists to see! LOL! He has played countless corporate events and parties, and even rode out Complete Light Duty to center ice to sing the “anthem” Diesel Truck Maintenance during a national hockey tournament and Diagnostics game. Although Gary has been Preventative Maintenance dubbed “Arizona’s Singing Cowboy” Pre-purchase Inspections for quite some time now, he also has been featured on numerous shows and profiled in magazines and 3700 Morris St. NE VSA IN HOUSE PROOF CRX’D books nationwide!

Albuquerque, NM 87111 Gary has become quite a master of located on the NE corner of his craft, and that is not by chance. He Morris & Comanche works diligently at it. Not only does he Hours: work hard on new material and keeping M-F 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. his act authentic, but he has gotten pretty darned good with his horsemanship. His latest horse, Dusty, was trained entirely by Gary himself.

Dusty is not your ordinary run-of-themill horse either. In order to be in show business, he has to be able to go indoors as well as out, be around hundreds of people, and stay gentle enough that little kids and unsuspecting adults who walk all around him petting him from every angle, are safe while doing so.

Also, Dusty has to do something very unnatural for a horse—that is stand very still, in one spot, for long periods of time while this guy sits up top, strums a guitar, sings loudly, talks a lot, and moves around into different positions’ all this while in front of large crowds, performing. Dusty also knows several show business tricks such as P. O. Box 1368 rearing, counting, fetch and saying yes Crownpoint, NM 87313 and no. Dusty started doing this when he was only three! Gary says he just shows ‘em what he wants and is patient and gentle about doing it. (Sounds simple enough, but very few horses can do it.)

Besides working hard to keep his act authentic, he also lives the lifestyle of a true cowboy. He has attended branding

events, worked cattle, logged thousands of hours in the saddle, trained his own horses and looks like a cowboy, but more than that, he is a cowboy at heart.

He is the kind of guy, true to his word, always trying to do the right thing and personifies the hero attitude of yesterday. He lends a helping hand when he can, believes in God and country, and is one hundred percent true to his best friend and partner, his wife of almost forty years, Peggy.

Not only did he follow in the footsteps of the original pioneers and “go west” in mid-life to experience change and become a Westerner, but Peggy has been right there beside him, supporting and promoting him the whole way. If Gary’s move from East to West, learning the trade of a cowboy and Western musician doesn’t sound like a pioneer story from a hundred-plus years ago, then what would?

As with most true Westerners, Gary is passionate about what he believes in. For him, one way to perpetuate “the code of the West” is by educating children. He loves to work with children, making several appearances each year to entertain and educate them at elementary and preschools. He has developed a special act to help inform youngsters about the cowboy way of life.

Gary also makes appearances to entertain the elderly who have no other way of seeing his act. His visits to nursing homes are well-received by folk there and it helps them go back to a time when people like Gary were their heroes on screen. He is especially proud of this work with the young and old, as it is kind of a “community service” he does.

While entertaining tourists and corporate crowds, he also gives the public a glimpse of the Silver Screen Cowboy from days gone by. He does as much to promote the image of the Old West to non-Western folk as anyone.

Gary is not awed or afraid of the unknown. He embraces life with a big smile on his face. If he had listened to people back in New York telling him, “Moving out West to become a singer is nothing more than a pipe dream …” he never would have succeeded. Now, he is a prime example of a real-life cowboy hero ... just like Gene and Roy!

Competitorial continued from page 4 needs someone to take his phone away from him when he’s drinking. For the record, I have no idea who this person is… and I’m happy with that.

Ahhhh… the red light indicating a message on my office phone told me there was more. Sent Saturday evening, this person did not seem to be drinking…he was, however, MAD. It seems his son made it to the short round of a roping and drew a

steer that, according to his account, veered to the right fence as it ran down the arena, causing his son’s rope to hit the fence when he tried to rope him. He said the steer had been trying to do it all day and it was his opinion that the producer didn’t cut the steer out because he didn’t like him or his son and wanted him to draw poorly in the short round. The point of it all was to get me to tell the world that this is a rotten producer and all ropers should avoid his events.

He also didn’t leave his name or his number.

I learned a long time ago that the worst

ALL-AROUND

perceived infractions are always those that involve someone’s kids. A guy will take a foul here and there, but if you foul his kid… he’ll go ballistic! This seemed to be the case here. What is also common is that when I’m told of these accounts of flagrant and intentional sabotage by a producer, a lot of the time they don’t seem that flagrant to me. In fact, as in this case, it often seems like a toxic combination of disappointment, frustration, paranoia and a runaway conspiracy theory.

Look, I don’t know what exactly happened… but sounds like “team roping” to me. And if your son is going to keep roping, you’re not doing him any favors by teaching him when things don’t go his way, its someone else’s fault. The last thing we need are more blamers.

And then, the phone call…

I was all set to write this month’s editorial chastising a bunch of competitors about how you’re treating all the people who work their tails off to put on annual events for you. Mostly, it was to be directed toward a handful of cranky rodeo guys that seem to think it’s their duty to treat gate workers, secretaries, judges, etc., like their personal servants. Rolling in, you leave your trash strewn about, and shovel all the horse crap out of your trailer and onto the ground for someone else to clean up before you leave.

But after this morning’s call, I’m letting you off the hook.

The call came from a committee member of a weekend rodeo that just wanted to say how nice it was that a couple of contestants went out of their way to shake his hand and say “thanks” for the work the committee did in putting on their rodeo. He explained that the rodeo wasn’t as big as it had been in years past, that rain had hampered one of the performances and impacted the turnout of spectators, and that once again, proceeds would NOT cover what it cost the community to put on the annual event. Even so, he clearly stated the reason for the call was just to let me know that just a little bit of genuine appreciation, made it all worthwhile, and was the fuel that would drive next year’s event.

He asked if I would pass along the importance of the impact of such gestures… ….I just did.

he end of July heated up in Belen, New Mexico as The Heat III - Bikini Barrel Race and Rough Stock Challenge took center stage in the world of rodeo in the Southwest. Casper Baca and the Baca Rodeo Company crew were on hand to guide the event from start to finish and what an event it was. Where else can you go to see some of the best bull riding, bareback riding and saddle bronc riding action, mixed up with bikini barrel racers? What a mix and what a deal for those who came out to Belen New Mexico for the event.

The Heat III - Bikini Barrel Race and Rough Stock Challenge has become a hit over the pass few years and has continued to offer more and more. This years event invited in Albuquerque’s The Dirty Bourbon Dancehall and Saloon for an official sponsorship that helped make it bigger than ever. In addition to the rough stock and barrel race action, this years event hosted sideline features such as a Mini Bull Riding, The Wild Pony Beer Garden, a Bucking Horse Stampede and a National Guard Flag Tribute – “Cowboy Style” and much more.

The event kicked actually kicked off Friday night as The Dirty Bourbon hosted the events pre-party. There was plenty of action and excitement as event goers and contestants danced the night away.

Saturday opened up with the Bikini Barrel Race at 3 p.m. It then rolled into a Arena Volley Ball Tournament a couple of hours later and wrapped things up in the cool evening air with the rough stock and top twenty barrel racing action.

The contestants eagerly competed and went after the added money and prizes with lots of energy. $500 in added money was up for grabs in all three rough stock events, as well as the Bikini Barrel Race.

In addition, there were buckles awarded in each “D” of the race and a trophy saddle awarded to the fastest barrel racer wearing a bikini. The saddle went home with Nancy Velasquez.

The Heat was definitely hotter than expected this year and the event is no doubt on track to be one of the biggest and funnest events of the mid-summer rodeo season. You can bet the Baca Rodeo Company is working on stepping things up even more next year and

Rodeo Series Closing it’s Doors

F

or many rodeo cowboys who have traveled the great Southwest, climbing aboard bucking horses or bulls, a stop that was often hard to pass up when heading through West Texas was the weekly event held at the C bar T arena in Lubbock, Texas. Charlie Thompson has been the man behind this event for many years. In fact the Lubbock rodeo series has been bucking horses and bulls, as well as hosting rodeo timed events every Saturday for 35 years.

With this much history, the event has been an old standby for anyone with a A hankering to rodeo. That however is coming to an end. Thompson and the C bar T rodeo series is hanging up its hat on the world of rodeo.

Closing the door on this historic event is a step in what many may fear is the future of rodeo.

Thompson has been in the rodeo business since 1970 and has seen the sport of rodeo steadily decline over the years.

“It finally came down to a business decision,” said Thompson. “It cost too much to keep livestock. I’ve lost money throughout the past year and just can’t keep it going. Guess it’s time to get a job.”

Thompson who is 65 years old has spent his life producing rodeos. His production company was a regular on the high school circuit and he remembers his first contract with the association. “It called for 100 bulls and 100 bareback and 80 saddle bronc horses,” said Thomson. “Last year it was for 6 bareback and saddle bronc and 10 bulls.”

This has become the norm for rodeo as a whole it seems. Small associations, local stock contractors and small town rodeos have seen a real decline in

competitors, as well as spectators over the past ten years. With events such as the PBR, CBR, USTRC and World Series of Team Roping seeming to offer so much more these days, there seems to be no room left for the locals and smaller events and producers.

“The contestants seem to be paying as much as they can afford to compete, there are no spectators, and sponsorship has dried up.” Said Thompson. “I just can’t see where I can keep going.”

Beyond the weekly series, Thompson was also the host of the Mid-Winter Bull Riding Championship, boasted as, “The oldest bull riding in the country.” When asked if this event will also end, he had mixed feelings.

“It lost money twice. Once when it snowed real bad many years ago and last year,” said Thompson. “I’m not sure if I

will try to host it again or not right now.”

With the closing of his business, Thompson has a lot to liquidate. He has already dispersed his bucking bulls, but has quite a bit of equipment and lots of good bucking horses to sell. Since he bred horses to buck, he has put together a dispersal sale to liquidate them, as well as his equipment. He will host a bucking horse futurity and buck young horses on the morning of September, 15 at the C bar T arena in Lubbock. The horse and equipment sale will follow that afternoon.

With the closing of the doors of the weekly rodeo series and legendary event, there will one less place where young cowboys who are coming up through the ranks to compete. The sport is definitely different than it was several years ago and this may be only one event closing shop, but the real question is; how many 1\4will Horizontal more follow?

NMJRA Wraps Up Successful Season he New Mexico Junior Rodeo Association (NMJRA) 2012 Season started in the spring and wrapped up mid-summer in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Expanding the territory that hosted NMJRA rodeos in many different cities and towns, offered some of the states toughest competitors a place to learn and improve their rodeo talents.

Each NMJRA event throughout the season offered championship prizes and payouts, as well as points that worked towards the year-end championships.

These points were tallied up after the final event at the Santa Fe Fairgrounds in Santa Fe, New Mexico on July 27 and 28. With the points tallied, the awards were given away Sunday after a breakfast for contestants and parents.

The breakfast was prepared by the Romero Family who took charge and made everyone feel at home. The entire Finals weekend was enjoyable with afternoon volleyball and football games, as well as family fun and friendship throughout the event.

Success is often measured in the outcome of Jr. rodeo events and the prizes hauled away by every NMJRA contestant this year proved it was a great year.

Cowboy Classic Saddle Certificates were awarded to Hi-Point winners in each boy and girl age group. This certificate allows these young contestants to pick what they want on their championship trophy saddle and really bong them up to show off at next year’s events. Corriente Buckles made fantastic buckles that were awarded at the event sand will be worn proudly by their winners. In addition, kids walked away with armloads of goodies, including backpacks and bags, caps, tack and rodeo equipment they can put to good use.

Congratulations to the NMJRA for a great season and to all of this year’s NMJRA winners!

Galisteo Does it Again!

H

ot, dusty and wild – The Galisteo rodeo has all of the makings for a true Wild West event! Annually, Rodeo De Galisteo is one of the best open rodeos of the summer and contestants seem to flock to the small town of Galisteo to take part in this historic event.

Captivating the true spirit of the Western heritage and the hot action of the sport of rodeo, this event has always been a big part of the mid-summer season for contestants.

With added features throughout the weekend, a traditional old-time facility and always lots of spectators to soak up the action from inside the arena, Rodeo De Galisteo is one of the best events under the New Mexico sun.

Thanks to photographer Mark Hutchings of Pounding Hooves Photography, we get a chance to look back at some of this year’s split seconds of the rodeo and see just a few of the amazing feats and action packed moments of the event.

Don Gay Bull Riding Tour Hits New Mexico

T

he Don Gay Bull Riding Tour (DGBRT) is a relatively new organization to give bull riders the opportunity to participate and compete in uniform and fair competitions.

Many of the DGBRT are held in conjunction with the United Bucking Bulls, Inc (UBBI) bucking bulls contests, bringing top bulls and bull riders together across the country. In addition, the Don Gay Bull Riding Tour will host an annual “Year-End” Don Gay Bull Riding Tour Finals and crown a “Tour Champion” and “Finals Champion.” This event will be held in Winnie, Texas at the beginning of November.

New Mexico got a taste of the DGBRT in Roswell, New Mexico on July 28 and 29, 2012. Winners from the Southwest emerged and took home some of the events big payouts. These winners included Lon Danley, Dexter Huber, Brennon Elred, Korwin Kinlichienie and Wyatt Welsh. These top riders made out with over $7,300 in cash throughout the two days.

Uniquely formatted, the DGBRT offers bull riders a place to win and win big. “If You Make the Whistle. . .

You Get Paid!” is just one of the distinctive values of the tour. Every qualified ride made by a cowboy will earn them a check regardless of the score. So really, “If you make the whistle. . . you get paid!”

The tour also includes the “Rank Bull” Rider Bonus. When a tour event is held in conjunction with a UBBI bucking bull contest, it will feature a “Rank Bull” Rider Bonus for each performance. This bonus will pay the riders who get on the top two highest marked bulls, a bonus regardless of a qualified ride.

The DGBRT will finish up this year at the Don Gay Bull Riding Tour Year-End Finals. This event will have $40,000 in added money.

Qualifications for the Final event will be determined by total money won and the Tour championship will be determined by qualified rides, times two (doubled) at Don Gay Bull Riding events. The Finals Champion (Average winner at the Finals) will receive a new pick-up and the finals awards will also include buckles and jackets.

For more information on the DGBRT and to see where they will be next, head to www.dgbullriding.com.

Tradition Lives On

F

or the past 77 years the Durango Fiesta Days Rodeo has been the best of all summer rodeos and has continued to offer cowboys and cowgirls an event that is the centerpiece of the rodeo season. This year was no different. The event once again rolled out the red carpet for contestants to enjoy a great event in the cool mountain region of Southwest Colorado.

The week-long fiesta in Durango was all about the rodeo and the western heritage of the four-corners area of the country. Keeping it rich history alive, the event captured not only the rodeo for three days and four different performances, but also hosted a queen contest, Special Olympics rodeo, 4-D barrel race and more. Each day, starting on July 16 and running through the 29, the town invited some sort of rodeo fashion and celebrated the Wild West!

Plenty of today’s top rodeo talents were on hand to showcase their talents, while on their way to the pay windows.

Veterans and rookies alike each held their own and helped the Fiesta Days Rodeo to reach another accomplishment in its long history. Congratulations to all of the winners and all of the great folks in Durango who helped make this year’s event a success.

Friends

T

his article gets a little bit unexciting when things inside the rodeo and team roping community are going well and there are small amounts of dirt to throw around. I could go into details on some of the particles of dirt I have stumbled across this past month, or rave about how cool the Summer Olympic Games were.

However, the little things end up sounding more like gossip and those who were interested in the Olympics already know how good they were and those not interested are still not interested.

That leaves me with not much dirt to throw around this month. I could go into politics, the endeavors of today’s society or the dreaded news covering the country, but somehow that just seems so uninteresting.

However, I do have a lot on my mind with regard to good friends.

It seems the good Lord above knows when to send a helping hand. I was really kind of down and out last Friday. However, I had two instances this past week concerning good friends that seemed to give me the wind to help fill my sail again.

The first was a phone call that came early Saturday morning, out of the blue. A friend of mine called to just chat a while.

We had not talked in over a year and it was nice to hear from him. We talked about our families, how life was going and just the normal BS between two guys. It was a nice start to my day and helped kick off a pretty good weekend.

Then, last night another good friend of mine called. Actually he called about three times after I had gone to sleep and I did not hear my phone the first two times. Anyway, long story short, he was broken down and needed a place to drop a load of steers and park a trailer until morning. It was close to midnight and after I got my mind to wake up, I headed out the door to help. We got the steers taken care of and the trailer parked in a safe place for the night. We said our good byes and I headed home.

It was a little after two in the morning by then and I was wide awake. I am much more of a night owl than a morning person. My wife will be the first to tell you that. Not that I dislike mornings, I just don’t really want to talk to anyone for the first 30 minutes or so after I wake up. Let me take a shower and have a couple of drinks of coffee before you head into any type of conversation.

Anyway, as I headed home, I thought about all of the good times I had with the friend I just helped out. Then I went to thinking about my other good friends. I have to say, despite what my Facebook page reflects, I can probably count the number of good friends on one hand. Some I may not have talked to in a while, but know if I called or stopped by their house, they would answer and welcome me in. They would take time out of their day to visit, as I would for them. I also know I could call these guys any time of the day to lend me a hand if I was in need.

Good friends are hard to come by. With that said, I want to say hello to all of my close pals and I hope you are all doing well.

I will give you a call in the future to catch up and see whats happening. If you feel the same, give me a call.

For all of you out there, I hope you do the same. It might be an old college buddy or the guy or gal you hung out with in the summer of ‘95, but you know who your good friends are. So I encourage you to take a minute out of your day and dial their number just to say, “Hi.” Life is stressful and sometimes a visit with an old friend is really needed.

You never know, a simple call could be the difference between dragging through another day or kicking it up a little and enjoying the day knowing you have a close friend who cares how you are and is always there when you need them.

Until next time –“dirt’ Keep it under your feet!

CBR World Finals Wrapped Up The 2012 CBR World Championships at Cheyenne Frontier Days can go down in the record books as one of the best bull ridings ever in the history of the sport, and thousands were there to witness it.

It was a suspenseful evening with two neck-in-neck battles; one for the World title the other for the event win.

Luis Blanco and Josh Barentine battled all season for the lead in the CINCH World Standings and it literally came down to the final night and the final ride to determine who would win. After Barentine covered all three of his bulls over the last two days and Luis was not as lucky it was clear who the victor would be. Johnson Bayou, Louisiana can celebrate their Champion as Josh Barentine claims his victory, a $100,000 bonus, a hand- made trophy saddle made by Juan Jose Andrade, the Hy O Silver championship buckle and the 2012 CBR World Champion title.

(Buffalo Hump-Talbert Bucking Bulls, 90.5. Evil Twin-Rawson Bucking Bulls 91. Lumber Jack – Rawson Bucking Bulls 92.5) The other thriller of the evening was the battle between former PRCA World Champions Wesley Silcox and J.W. Harris for the event title win. Harris and Silcox tied for the lead last night and continued to duke it out the second night. In the end it was Silcox who edged out his competitor by half a point to win the Cheyenne Frontier Days Championship. (Silcox-Jungle JuiceBrad Vogele 92.5. Canadian Cadillac Rhinestone Renegade 91.5.

Results in the 2012 CBR Palace Station Million Dollar Bull Team Finals The big check goes to Jaynes Gang/EG/Team Bays. Second place goes to Rawson Bucking Bulls and third is Talbert Bucking Bulls.

The Neckover Bull of the Year Honors go to Bugle owned by Greg Talbert. This bull was bull of the event at three events this year and the honors are well deserved. He wins a new trailer courtesy of Neckover.

Danny Reagan’s bull Ropin Dreams remains the high marked bull of the event after J W Harris rode him for 93 points on the first night.

The 2012 CBR World Championships at Cheyenne Frontier Days will air on FSN on August 5th and 12th at 6PM. That concludes the 2012 CINCH CBR Tour “Road To Cheyenne”. CBR wishes to thank the Cheyenne Frontier Days committee, staff, volunteers and Rod Hottle, CINCH Shirts and Jeans, Mahindra Tractors. Evan Williams Bourbon, Smokey Mountain Snuff, Neckover Trailers, Hy O Silver, Palace Station, Henry Rifles, WW Livestock, Car Quest and Exclusive Genetics. The 2013 CINCH CBR Tour begins in Huron, SD August 29th and 30th.

CBR Evan Williams Bull Fighter of The Year When this scrawny young kid came on to the bull riding scene five years ago no one gave him a second look. Tall and lanky at 6’5”, you would never believe that in these last three years he has earned two CBR Bull Fighter of the Year awards and is one of the most respected bull fighters in the industry. It all started when Terry Williams threw him out in the arena one day when they were in a bind for a guy to fight bulls.

57

By the end of the day, Williams had spotted some real guts and talent in the young man from Gilmer, Texas.

“I knew that day he was gonna be good. He had the “IT” it takes to be a good bull fighter, and I told Tuff and Ray Clary that they needed to give him a go on the CBR Tour, “ says Williams.

In the four years he has been on the CINCH CBR Tour, Loden had literally put it all out there for the bull riders, and in return they have voiced their thanks by voting him Bull Fighter of the Year twice. He has fought through serious injuries to be in the arena because it is what he loves to do.

“I can’t imagine doing anything else in the world. This is it, it is what I love to do and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I doesn’t matter if I’m in pain, I want to be there to help these guys out.

A lot of them are my friends, and no matter what I want to always have their back, “ stated Loden.

But he is also modest in giving credit to his fellow Evan Williams Bull Fighters- Matt Baldwin, Cody Hollums, and Kenny Bergeron.

“It’s not a one man show out there in the arena you have to have a good team.

Those guys make me what I am today. I share this award with them because they are my team.”

Loden has other big responsibilities, besides looking out for bull riders he works full time on the CBR production crew and is a father of 3. He would say that being a father is the most important work he does and keeps him the busiest.

“Laken, Kaden and Kasen, with those three, and work, there is no time for anything else,” laughs Loden.

Ray Clary, CBR Production Manager, and Loden’s boss, comments on the changes he has seen in him over the years, “There are definitely some real changes I have seen in Brandon.

He’s matured not only as a man and father but as a bull fighter. He has developed his skill, is quicker, thinks better and also has been a leader for the new guys coming up the ranks. I don’t think there is any bull rider out there that wouldn’t want Brandon in there corner in that arena.”

We feel the same way, congratulations to Brandon Loden, 2012 CBR Bull Fighter of the Year.

PRCA Shorts Feild Is the Real Deal In Lovington Since Dec. 1, 2011, Kaycee Feild has won more than $250,000 on the backs of bucking horses in PRCA competition.

On Aug. 9, he assured himself even more by testing his world championship spur stroke against the nasty moves of Carr Pro Rodeo’s Real Deal. It worked out for 89 points to give him the win at the Lea County Fair & PRCA Rodeo, a Wrangler Million Dollar Tour Silver event presented by Justin Boots.

“I knew that horse had a different move around the post (of the chute), but I wasn’t expecting it four times,” Feild said of how many times the powerful 12-yearold bay gelding changed leads during the eight-second ride. “It sure was fun. I really couldn’t just sit down the first two or three jumps. It took me that long to extend my spur stroke.”

It’s one of the best bareback riding spur strokes going down the rodeo trail today. Feild won the 2011 Wrangler National Finals Rodeo, scoring a record 860 points through 10 rounds in Las Vegas. That propelled him to his first world championship. Since then, he has won some of the most prestigious events in the sport, including ProRodeo wins in Fort Worth, Texas; Reno, Nev.; Spanish Fork, Utah, and Sheridan, Wyo. But that’s nothing compared to the day he experienced at the end of last month, when he celebrated his wedding to his new bride, Stephanie. In fact, the Aug. 9 ride was just his second one since the July 31 nuptials.

“I’ve been dating her for two years,” said Feild, 25, a four-time NFR qualifier from Payson, Utah, whose father, Lewis, is a five-time world champion. “She’s been around my family. She understands my job is to go to every rodeo I can and to put

every minute into riding bucking horses.

“In order to be the best, you’ve got to practice to be the best, and she understands that. She loves me whether I do good or do bad, and that’s a good feeling to go home to.”

It took Feild five years of competing in ProRodeo to win his first gold buckle.

Now he’s got to do everything it takes to defend that title.

“I’m friends with a lot of world champions, and they say the first one isn’t the easiest to get but that the second one is harder to get,” he said. “That’s my goal. My goal was to win a gold buckle and to dominate in Vegas.

“I didn’t have my goals written down for like a month and a half, and it was showing. Staying at home for 10 days lit a fire under me, and I’m ready to go.”

Of course, it helps a lot when he gets to ride one of the best horses in rodeo.

Real Deal was named the 2005 Bareback Horse of the Year, and he looks as powerful as ever.

“That’s what I crave,” Feild said.

“That’s what I ride bucking horses for is to get on the rankest, baddest horses. I can prove, not only to my friends but also to myself, that I can spur anything and that I can spur the bad ones.

“It’s definitely a confidence booster when you can get on a bad one and spur him every jump.”

The other champions at the $219,395 rodeo were steer wrestler Kash Koester (8.5 seconds on two head), team ropers Erich Rogers/Kory Koontz (8.8 seconds on two head), saddle bronc rider Travis Sheets (85 points), tie-down roper Scott Kormos (17.4 seconds on two head), steer roper J.P. Wickett (42.7 seconds on three head), bull rider Scottie Knapp (91 points) and barrel racer Kaley Bass (17.14 seconds).

Benefit Pot proceeds raised during this race will support one of our barrel racing friends, Lorraine Esquibel.

Back in April, Lorraine Esquibel was admitted into Presbyterian Hospital in Albuquerque, NM. She had initially gone into the ER for a dog bite. However, this visit revealed a serious condition that could have easily made that day her last.

Lorraine was suffering from a severe platelet deficiency called ITP; an auto immune disease. After a week in the hospital, her platelet levels were high enough to allow her to go home but it wasn't long until Lorraine was air lifted back to Albuquerque for the same life threatening condition. Once again, she was held until stable then sent home. At this point, the doctors were sticking to their original diagnosis and advised Lorraine on how to manage her condition.

Not long after, she had a stroke caused by a blood clot that burst in the back of her brain, admitting her back into the hospital. The stroke mainly affected her vision and balance. Lorraine is recovering at home now, taking her recovery day by day. She and her family are very thankful for all of the prayers and support during this difficult time.

Donations are accepted. We appreciate all your support.

Arizona Farm Bureau Releases New Set of Strategies for Arizona Families to Stretch Their Food Dollars in Light of Midwest Drought In light of recent food prices and anticipated future price increases due to widespread drought in the Midwest and other factors, Arizona Farm Bureau releases an updated set of strategies for Arizona families to stretch their food dollars.

“Along with our quarterly food marketbasket survey, Arizona Farm

Bureau always releases information about how to save on the family food budget,” says Julie Murphree, director of PR, Marketing and Agriculture Education.

“But because of the growing concern about food prices and the ongoing drought in the Midwest, we want to make sure Arizona families have all the resources available to make informed decisions about their food purchases and certainly tips on stretching their food dollars.”

While the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) does not anticipate food price inflation to be higher than 3.5% next year and Arizona Farm Bureau’s quarterly marketbasket shows only slight increases over the last two quarters, the fact is Arizona families can expect food inflation over the next several months.

“We’re in the food business and we want to make sure families are fully aware of current conditions,” adds Murphree. “Our original list of food savings tips was pretty thorough. But after consulting with nutritionists and a few of the Farm Bureau family’s economists we’ve added more to the list.”

Arizona Farm Bureau’s 18 Money Saving Tips to Stretch Your Food Dollars: 1. Sort your pantry and organize to clearly know what’s available. This should be a regular effort in order to make sure you’re using everything you have, not buying unnecessary items and can determine what you really need.

2. Create a week-long menu. From the planned menu create your shopping list based on local grocery store circulars you receive in the mail or newspaper.

3. When planning your menu, think of ways to maximize the use of the “Stretch Your Food Dollar” menu as a springboard to create your own menu.

Gather ideas for meals based on the items down in price from Arizona Farm Bureau’s “Stretch Your Dollar” menus on fillyourplate.org. Let the Farm Bureau’s menus inspire your creativity!

4. You’ve created the list; stick to it.

If you can stick to your list, you’ll curb impulse spending on items you don’t really need.

5. Don’t shop on an empty stomach.

Studies suggest you might spend 10 to 15 percent more on your food bill when you’re hungry.

6. Don’t take the kids grocery

Roundup Dos and Don’ts

R

anchers are inviting city folks to their brandings to educate them about our business. I applaud this move but realize that there’s never been any direction given as to how the townies are to conduct themselves. Until now, that is.

Here is a list of dos and don’ts on how to win friends and influence cowboys at the next branding.

DON’T buy a brand new pair of boots and a brand new cowboy hat and then wear them to a branding. Your feet will hurt and some jovial cowboy will fill your new hat to the brim with cow manure as a practical joke. DON’T wear spurs with your Bermuda shorts either.

DO wear a sensible pair of athletic shoes because you are going to be doing a lot of running away from mad cows who have had their babies temporarily kidnapped from them. You are also going to be dodging red hot branding irons, sharp needles and ropes that will feel like barbed wire running through your bare hands. But DON’T wear gloves; the cowboys will think you’re a big sissy and the doctors in the emergency room will have a hard time finding your severed fingers amidst all the coagulated blood concentrated in the finger tips of your gloves. DON’T ask for a Band-Aid or pain medication either. Suck it up. Make sure your medical insurance is paid up and that you are within two hours of a good hospital. And you might want to consider having a Medivac chopper standing by.

DON’T ask if you can brand, give shots or use the knife to turn the bull calves into steers. This is serious business and a rancher could lose money and respect if some dude in low shoes put a brand on upside down, gave a shot that caused a bulbous growth, or only

removed half of a bulls’ manhood. Your job is to work the ground crew which means you get to tackle huge calves all day. DO try to lift with your back.

DON’T complain or expect thanks.

This isn’t a party or a place to network.

There are no invitations, you don’t have to RSVP and there isn’t a reception where canapés and cocktails are served.

Everyone works for free, plain and simple. After all... this is the cow business. This isn’t about you. DO come expecting to be exploited and abused.

DO leave home your attitude, boom box, cell phone, dogs, girlfriend or mistress, unless she makes great desserts, or is built like a fullback and can flip calves on their right side.

Especially DON’T bring a knucklehead horse. You aren’t going to get to ride and rope anyway as there’s barely enough calves to rope as it is for the real cowboys to get their fair share. DO bring donuts, preferably chocolate with sprinkles on them.

This isn’t the Civil War where you can pay someone to take your place. If you aren’t going to work by all means DO feel free to stay home.

DON’T get all queasy and faint if you’re forced to eat your share of mountain oysters as part of your initiation, or if you happen to see severed body parts, blood and other body fluids. They probably belonged to a cowboy anyway.

It’s called a branding because we brand our cattle. This is a branding, not Show and Tell so DON’T take hidden videos and then put them on You Tube. Branding is a time-tested method of livestock identification and it doesn’t hurt the calves any more than those hideous tattoos you have all

over your body.

DON’T expect any free beef to take home, or to be allowed to hunt on the ranch just because you gave a little free labor and broke your arm in three places.

Let the real hands wash up first and DON’T ask to use the bathroom in the house. Never use the disinfectant wipes your wife carries in her purse.

At the barbecue afterwards DON’T ask if they have chicken, sushi or a vegetarian entree.

DON’T be an idiot or sue anyone at the conclusion of the day’s activities.

VSA IN HOUSE PROOF If you follow all these rules the real cowboys might just let you wear a Stetson and Justin Ropers and buy all he beer at the county fair this summer. wwwLeePittsbooks.com
