USTRC Turquoise Championships

“Never let them see you sweat.” That was the motto of USTRC producer Walt Eddy during the Turquoise Championships held at the Red Rock State Park in Gallup, New Mexico.

T

he event took place July 30-August 1, 2010 and was a weekend filled with rain. The rain flooded the arena, but thanks to a great crew, the arena was in tiptop shape in less than two hours. Heavy equipment was brought in and they went to work removing all the mud in the arena and replacing it with dry soil so the show could go on.

“It really was amazing,” said Steve Whinnery from Colorado. “Walt Eddy never lost his cool and kept a very positive attitude. I really couldn’t see any way we were going to be able to rope, but within no time at all it was actually better than before. It was great and my hat’s off to Walt and his crew.”

So, the roping went well and one roper from Grants, New Mexico really enjoyed it.

JoDan Mirabal and his partners won big.

They earned $9,620, a pair of trophy Cowboy Gold saddles and $8,000 in USTRC Flex Earnings.

“This was a really good roping. It rained a lot, but it was good,” said 22-year-old Mirabal. “They had a good turnout and I really enjoyed the event despite all the rain.”

Mirabal and his brother Cody teamed up in the #12 division. They caught four steers in 35.52 seconds and finished in second place in the Average. “I roped a leg on our second steer and that put us fifth call to the short round,” said Mirabal. “We caught our last steer clean and fourth call back ended up winning the roping. It worked out pretty good for us.”

The win gave them $3,120 plus a USTRC Regional Shoot-Out worth $2,000

in USTRC Flex earnings.

In the #10 division Mirabal entered with Cody LaRocque. They were 39.67 seconds on four steers and ended up winning the Average. The win gave them $6,500, trophy Cowboy Gold saddles and a USTRC National Shoot-Out worth $6,000 in USTRC Flex Earnings.

“Cody is from Oklahoma and he came out here with a friend to stay with us,” said Mirabal. “He decided to rope and we practiced all week. He rode our head horse, Batman and got along with him really good. We were the high team back and had about 14 seconds or so to win the roping. We were 11 seconds with a barrier and it worked out in our favor.”

Mirabal has been roping for most of his life and loves the sport and all it has to offer.

“I like to head and heel both,” said Mirabal. “I really just started heeling and I like it a little more. I enjoy team roping and the opportunities it has given me. I went to the College National Finals twice as a header. Roping has opened a lot of doors for me and I really like it.”

Mirabal offered up some advice on being a good heeler.

“You have to ride good position and

Competitorial

I

just got home from the USTRC’s Southwest Regional Finals and although it’s only halfway through the four-day event, I’ve seen enough for it to have formed …or maybe solidified some impressions about the current state of team roping. I generally save this kind of commentary until after the National Finals of Team Roping, but right now seems like the time to get some conversation started about where things are, and where they’re going.

First, there is no doubt that attendance/ participation is down significantly from just a few years ago. Some areas of the country are worse than others, but all have been affected to some degree or another. And it’s not just team roping. Participation and spectator attendance at rodeo events of all levels has fallen off significantly. Barrel racing activity is nowhere near what it was, and yes… even the seemingly bulletproof PBR has experienced a significant drop in popularity.

Now you don’t have to be a Nobel Prize winning economist to come to the realization that… “It’s the economy, stupid.” But, I think there is more to it than that with regard to team roping. I believe the grim economic conditions are masking other contributing factors that need to be addressed… and soon.

This where I usually offer up some kind of disclaimer, proclaiming that I’m absolutely NOT trying to single out any organization or person… which is ALWAYS completely ignored… but this, sincerely, is NOT a finger-pointing session.

The truth is, team roping production always has, and always will, follow a “copy-cat” scenario.

Producers who are successful will have their productions copied… it’s just the way it is, and rightfully so. Team roping production is a risky

undertaking and profit margins are hair-thin. It’s easier to copy someone else’s success, or even do what you’ve done in the past with success, rather than take a risk and try something new. The net result is that team roping has become stagnant, and producers are responsible.

Again, it comes down to an assessment of risk vs. reward and it seems that producers have determined there is just too much risk in trying to do something new. Sadly, that kind of thinking is largely correct. Twenty years ago, team roping operated in such a rudimentary state, that it wasn’t very hard to come up with a new approach… or so it seems now.

Yet, at the time, the things ropers now accept as common production practices were revolutionary ideas and concepts. Even so, that does not mean that they all worked. There were numerous colossal failures along the way that cost a lot of producers boat-loads of cash, and those memories are not easily erased.

I can ignore the 900 pound elephant in the room or simply say it… The USTRC should be leading the way. God knows the USTRC has invested a lot of money over the years improving the product they present to ropers…and with outstanding results. Like I said, I just came from the Southwest Regionals and there is nothing that comes even close to the production the USTRC provides. It’s first-class from top to bottom. Still, if it was production quality that equated success, I’m pretty sure there would have been more entries. Yes, the USTRC has implemented some changes over the last decade or so, and all with good intentions, but those changes have either been misguided in direction… in my humble opinion… or relatively insignificant from a ropers perspective.

Team roping has become a big machine… it drives an entire industry… and the problem with a big machine is that it is difficult to change course.

There have been no real, mind-blowing team roping concepts introduced in years. Booger Barter, rest his

USTRC Turquoise Championships always take a good shot,” said Mirabal. “A good partner also helps out and that is another key. You have to have a good partner. It does make a difference.”

He and his family have a ranch in Grants and raise registered Black Angus cattle. Mirabal was thrilled with his success and plans to attend the roping again even though this year it was a soaker.

“The crew did a great job and within two hours they had put in a brand new arena. It was better than before and the cattle were really good, so I will be back,” concluded Mirabal.

soul, isn’t around anymore and Tim Nelson, who was one of the most underappreciated team roping innovators of all time, is seemingly out to pasture.

Yes, Denny Gentry and his World Series events have created a flash of interest, but let’s be honest, World Series is neither a new concept nor innovative… despite the hype.

I completely understand that the box in which team roping producers must maneuver is smaller than ever before. Production costs have increased, production quality expectations are higher than ever, thanks to the USTRC, and the economy is in a shambles. So what can be done? I’ve said it many times before, and I know ropers hate to hear it, but producers have to make a profit. It’s not all our warmth and good charm that they’re doing this for.

That said, the solution is going to have to satisfy a number of issues.

1. Team roping needs to be exciting again.

One of the by-products of the modern day, ultraefficient, team roping production is that it’s boring.

Now I’m not advocating bringing back the Booger Barter “Egg Toss” during the middle of the event, but what I am talking about is finding a way to make ropers feel like what they’re doing is special. When you ride your horse in the arena to warm him up, you need to feel a little bit of a chill. That’s a cool, and very valuable feeling. I understand that we’ve all “been there, done that” with regards to roping and it’s harder to make it happen… but it’s not impossible. You want to get ropers to show up?... I promise if you can give them that chill… you’ll be more than half-way there.

2. Quit choosing your direction based on what team ropers tell you.

I think it has been erroneous to classify team roping production as a “service.” I think it’s more like a product, and I don’t know of any product manufacturers that react to every bit of feedback from every customer.

producing nothing. Products are manufactured based on what sells. Not every consumer is going to love your product… accept it. I have seen team roping up close from both the perspective of the producer and as a roper for a long time. Straight up… as a roper, my view is biased… the only thing I want from you is for you to figure out a way for me to win… anything less and it was a crappy roping.

3. Figure out a way to produce more effectively.

Modern roping production is about as efficiently produced as it can be… but it could be done more effectively. World Series is a perfect example. Denny knows the “stock charge” topic is toxic… It’s ingrained in ropers. He also knows that most ropers don’t even know what it means. He knows that if you’re smarter than a third-grader, you know that 20% is less than 33%. He simply fails to point out that 20% of $2,000 is a lot more than 33% of $600. It’s an “effective” approach. Now, I’m not advocating this approach, I’m just saying it’s effective. I do, however, think that there are some more forthright kind of production strategies that could be implemented that work better for both roper and producer.

4. Embrace change!

I’m talking about REAL change, not tinkering with a twenty year old model that has been tweaked and over-tweaked for years. Come up with some altogether new concepts. It will take both some serious thought (in order to accomplish the three previously listed points) and some real courage… but it can be done. I’m sure it won’t be easy, and equally sure there are huge obstacles and risk with no guarantee of success. But if things in team roping are going to get back on track, I think it’s a risk that can’t afford to be not taken.

Hope everyone has a safe and winning Labor Day Holiday,

Some of the Best Inducted into History

T

he Board of Directors of the Rodeo Historical Society announces inductees into the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum Rodeo Hall of Fame in Oklahoma City.

Recipients of the Tad Lucas and Ben Johnson Memorial Awards also will be honored. Rodeo Weekend at the Museum is scheduled for October 22-24.

Induction into the Rodeo Hall of Fame is one of the top honors that can be bestowed on a rodeo cowboy or performer. Inductees are chosen annually by a vote of the Rodeo Historical Society (RHS) membership. Inductees in the class of 2010 include John and Mildred Farris, Denny Flynn, Clyde Frost and Walt Woodard.

Being honored posthumously are Charlie Beals, John A. Beutler, Ronald Buddy Lytle and Larry Kane.

Bob Barnes, Peterson, Iowa, started producing rodeos in the early 1950s after receiving eight horses from a local farmer.

From then on, he never looked back.

Barnes’ Rodeo quickly became renowned for its quality stock and rodeo productions.

He produced Crystal Springs, National Finals Rodeo Saddle Bronc Horse of the Year in 1977. Barnes’ stock also has been used for every NFR since its start in 1959, making him and Harry Vold the only two contractors with this distinction.

USTRC Colorado Championships

Story and pictures courtesy of SuperLooper Magazine

T

eam ropers sprang into action at the Colorado Championships held in Colorado Springs, Colorado at the Penrose Stadium Arena. The roping was produced by Jeff Smith along with Ike and Mary Cox and took place July 23-25, 2010. Team ropers from 16 different states, making up more than 1,450 teams came to Colorado Springs to try their hand at more than $170,000 in cash and prizes.

Twenty-eight-year-old Nick Pullara from Fountain, Colorado took the roping by storm. He and his partners collected $12,154 in cash, $10,000 in USTRC Flex

Earnings, plus a pair of trophy Martin saddles. It was a great weekend for the Colorado team roper.

“The Colorado Championships was an awful good roping for me,” said Pullara.

“The steers were really good and even. It was a bit wet, but it did not take away from the roping. It was just a good production all the way around.”

Pullara, who likes to head best of all, works as a horse trainer in Colorado. He stays busy with that business and works hard at having the best horses he can.

Pullara began by placing second in the

Open division with heeler Todd Wilson.

“Todd and I rope together some at the jackpots around,” said Pullara. “My main partner couldn’t make it to the roping because he was at the High School Finals.”

He then came right back in the #15 division with heeler Matt Scogin from Louisiana. “I just met Matt, right before the roping,” said Pullara. “He was traveling with Walt Woodard and they showed up at the house to practice the day before the roping. We partnered up and it worked out good for us.”

The pair claimed the overall fast time

of the roping and also finished third place in the Average.

From there, Pullara switched to the heel side.

“I really do like to head best of all, but I mess around with heeling and enjoy roping with my brother,” said Pullara.

He did team up with his younger brother Joe in the #11 division. The team won the overall fast time of the roping and placed first in the Average.

“It was pretty cool to win with my brother,” said Pullara. “He really just started back roping. He has been at college and is a college football player. This was his first USTRC saddle and I was excited to be able to win it with him.”

The victory gave the team $8,240, a USTRC National Shoot-Out worth $6,000 in USTRC Flex Earnings, plus brand new trophy Martin saddles. Pullara also teamed up with Shannon O’Bryan to finish fourth place in the Average of the #11 Division.

“Shannon was my college rodeo coach when I was in college,” said Pullara. “He is a good partner and I was glad to win a little with him.”

Pullara has a good philosophy on heading and knows the key to being a good header, but it really applies to team roping as a whole.

“The key to being a good header is a good horse,” said Pullara. “If you can outmount your competition, you can beat them more consistently. Horsepower is important in this sport and having a good one certainly doesn’t hurt anything.”

The Colorado Championships is now in the history books. People enjoyed the event and it was certainly great for the Pullara family. They took a break from training horses and playing football to take home a couple of trophy Martin saddles along with a whole pocket full of cash.

On September 26th, The Curry County Events Center in Clovis, NM will play host to the PTR and the PTR World Finals Qualifying Tour. This event “PTR New Mexico Fall Classic” will qualify teams on FREE and Reduced Entry Fees to the PTR Million Dollar World Finals on February 25th-27th 2011 at the AVI Casino Resort and Events Center In Laughlin, NV. The PTR World Finals will be equipped with two divisions, a Triad #9 and Triad #11.

All PTR Qualifiers are essentially mini versions of the World Finals only on a smaller entry fee scale. Both the #9 & #11 ropings at all PTR Qualifiers are equipped with the Main 4-Steer Average, a Consolation 3-Steer Average, Three Full Go Rounds, Century Bonus, Incentive, and Mixed Bonus! The Team that wins the main 4-steer Average at any qualifying roping will get a FREE ROLE into the PTR World Finals (The PTR will pay your fees). Teams that finish 2nd – 10th will receive Reduced Entry Fees into the Finals at the cost of $500/man. So that means that 20 teams between the #9 and #11 division will get to run at life altering payouts on FREE or Reduced Entry Fees! Teams that do not win qualified spots may directly enter the World Finals at the cost of $1,250/man.

PTR Qualifiers are also equipped with a significant prizeline. Average winners of the #9 and #11 receive fully tooled trophy saddles. 2nd Place receives beautiful trophy buckles and 3rd receives custom Best Ever Cowhide Saddle Pads. Wrangler Gift Certificates are given out throughout the event for round winners ect… The PTR has wonderful sponsors such as Classic Ropes, Wrangler, Classic Equine, Priefert, Best Ever Pads, Skyline Silversmiths and many more that make these wonderful events possible.

As many team ropers know, there are some great high stakes ropings that are conducted each year. The PTR feels the only problems with these ropings are the significant cost of the entry fees and the unability to qualify. The PTR World Finals is HALF the entry fee of other major high stakes ropings and that is only if you directly enter.

There is NO high stakes roping that holds qualifiers where a team can win a FREE spot in the lucrative Finals if they win the average. With that being said there is definitely NO high stakes roping that holds qualifiers where 9 additional teams will win reduced entry fee spots for placing all the way down through 10th in the qualifying average. We at the PTR realize that team ropers want the opportunity to run at life altering payouts.

We also realize that not everyone can afford to pay thousands of dollars toward an entry fee just to get this opportunity. This is the reason we at the PTR have developed a format where many teams (20 teams per qualifier) will have the ability to qualify for such a prestigious event.

The 2011 PTR World Finals is scheduled to payout nearly a Million dollars in 2011.

The two Finale ropings will be a Triad #11 & Triad #9. Each Finale roping is equipped

with the Main 4-Steer Average, a Consolation 3-Steer Average, Century Bonus, Incentive, Mixed Bonus and Three Full Go Rounds. All teams that catch three steers will automatically receive a fourth steer. Fastest on any two steers will receive a third steer for the three head consolation payoff. A Contestant must be at least 40 years old to be eligible for the Century Bonus. These two Finale ropings will be limited to 250 teams. The PTR will qualify 75-100 teams in each division through the qualifying tour and all other teams will come from Direct Entries. A contestant may qualify or enter the PTR World Finals up to FOUR times in each division with different partners and there is no age limit. The Finals is a Straight #11 & #9. The #11 will be capped at a #6 elite Heeler (no cap on head side), and the #9 will be capped at a 5 elite heeler (no cap on head side).

The PTR World Finals will have two warm up ropings. The #11 & #9 warm up ropings will be a four head average, progressive after one. Entry fees will be $150/man ($300/team) with a 20% stock charge (same format as a world series qualifier). Ropers may enter the warm up roping up to four times with different partners. The team that wins the average will have their entries paid to the World Finals Finales the next day.

Teams finishing 2nd-10th will receive reduced entry fees into the finales at the rate of $500/man. Anyone may come and enter the warm up ropings. The #11 warm up will be conducted on February 25th, the day prior to the #11 finale. The #9 warm up will be conducted on February 26th, after the conclusion of the #11 Finale which is the day prior to the #9 Finale!

The PTR World Finals will be held at the AVI Casino Resort Events Center in Laughlin, NV. The Events Center is among the fanciest Indoor facility in the whole western United States. This Indoor facility is equipped with a top of the line 150x275 foot arena floor, over 4,000 permanent seats, an overhead skybox and 450 permanent priefert stalls. The Events Center is next door to the AVI Casino and Resort. The AVI Casino & Resort is equipped with 450 hotel rooms, a 30,000 square foot casino, Four Restaurants, Movie Theatre, Bowling Alley, Top of the line pool and personal beach.

The AVI Casino & Resort is located just 5-8 miles from Downtown Laughlin, Nevada.

The PTR prides itself on hosting World Class events for all our contestants. The PTR has gone to great lengths to put together essentially the “perfect” roping! We can assure that all PTR contestants will be thrilled with these events if they have never attended.

The PTR was established in California and has quickly became the largest and most popular event producer in California. The Qualifying tour stretches across the southwest in 2011.

MONTH-SEP 2010

BUILT BY-CAM READY

The New Mexico Businessmen’s Team Roping Association raised $9,000 for “Cowboys for Cancer Research” at their June finals this year.

1\2 Vertical

owboys for Cancer Research is starting its 28th year of fund raising for cancer research. C4CR supports ongoing cancer research between New Mexico State University and the University of New Mexico Cancer Center. This research has produced ground breaking discoveries in the treatment of and the search for a cure of this disease that touches IN HOUSE PROOF CRX’D so many lives.

Consumers Win Because Cattle Ranchers Care U.S. consumers have nothing to gain (and potentially a lot to lose) by taking the advice of Bruce Friedrich. Recently Friedrich has been traveling to college campuses spurring debates with students about animal agriculture in relation to the environment and animal care. He argues that “vegetarianism is an ethical imperative.” Talking about what is right and what is not, there is some information that needs to be set straight.

Contrary to Friedrich’s claims livestock operations benefit the environment. Cattle rancher’s livelihood is closely connected to preserving a healthy, safe and clean environment for food production. Not only do cattle ranchers manage the lands, water and plant health, but their efforts also positively affect wildlife. A California based study (Conservation Biology) shows cattle grazing plays an important role in maintaining the wetland habitat necessary for some endangered species.

Recently a group of Arizona teachers were taken on a week-long tour of Arizona’s diverse agriculture operations.

At the end of the week one of the participants who teaches sustainability at a University said, “I‘m glad to see that there are still people paying attention to the signs of the earth and maintaining the balance that’s ever so important for continued productivity.” Another teacher remarked, “One of my biggest misconceptions were about the ranchers; they are the true stewards of the land and the environment.”

In addition to caring for the environment, cattle ranchers are in the business of caring for animals. Providing an optimal environment for cattle with ample food, water and health care is the right thing to do and creates the ideal setting for them to grow. Another teacher from this trip said, “The one thing that I’d say about this week that I’ve come to know is passion. People in this industry really love what they do and they care for their animals.” This is easy to learn when you see hardworking families passing on the tradition of caring for their animals from one generation to the next. It is not just their family that gains from increased productivity as a result of great animal care, but yours as well. Consumers can expect and enjoy safe, healthy and wholesome beef.

Nutritionally, think of beef as nature’s best tasting multivitamin. It is a naturally nutrient rich source of 10 essential nutrients that are needed for optimal health through all stages of life. More great news is that there are 29 cuts of beef that meet the government’s guidelines for lean.

What this means for those of us who are keeping an eye on our calorie count, is that a serving of lean beef (3 ounces) provides only 154 calories. Try getting that much nutrition from 154 calories of any other protein.

World Series – Looking Towards the Finale!

Mid Year Report If you were shocked at the big jump in the attendance at World Series IV last year and the three record breaking Million Dollar ropings, you werent alone. We were pretty surprised ourselves, and more than a little curious how entries would play out this year. Based on the economic situation and the fact that most cowboy related events across the country are generally down, we are pleasantly surprised to find WSTR Finale entries at the exact same place they were at this time last year.

Certainly that isnt a guarantee, but the #10 and #11 are over 80% full and the #13 is hovering around 70%. The number of ropers roping with WSTR have jumped from roughly 3000 to nearly 7000, and the power of 80% is pretty evident with over $5.3 million paid out at our various qualifiers through the 4th of July weekend.

Not bad for a little roping club, thanks to you guys that like small ropings with big payouts.

The remainder of the positions in the #10 and #11 will be held in reserve for teams qualifying at events during the rest of the season. If you havent qualified yet in the #11 and #10 and want to go to Vegas, there is still a chance. The books are still open in A be completed the #13 and we predict it will by the end of September. We will continue to accept fully paid direct entry teams who will bump incomplete teams (teams paid on just one side).

Please call me for free borchure! aynard M i s l Ke

Entry Status For Las Vegas Books Still Open for #13 Entries!

Direct Entries for #10 and #11 to replace drawouts and incomplete teams!

SEPTEMBER 2010

Stall Status at Finales As we have said many times, the limitation at the Finale will always be stalls and parking. As happens every year, about mid-year, we sell out of stalls at the South Point Hotel. We are now compiling a wait list of ropers who want a stall at the South Point. Its possible that some #13 ropers who have purchased a stall may decide to MONTH-AUGUST 06 BUILT BY-KJM overnight somewhere else and get the refund. This may also open up a few more stalls. More will also become available as drawouts occur. If you have paid for a stall and none are available at the time, we will

19

call and visit with you about the wait list, referrals, refunds etc. We will have a full list of alternative stalls listed here at the website in the next week.

This year we worked out an arrangement with South Point to charge a flat fee allowing ropers to arrive and depart any time between Dec. 5th thru Dec. 14th.

Included in this flat fee is the allocation of IN HOUSE PROOF CRX’D 1 tack stall for every 5-6 ropers. Based on previous years this should alleviate hundreds and hundreds of phone calls adjusting arrival and depature schedules and we think this will give you lots of flexibility.

My Cowboy Heroes Story and Photos Compliments of Jim Olson

C.P Honeycutt

T

he community thought enough of him to name a road after him in his hometown. He was the first Arizonan to be inducted into the National Cutting Horse (NCHA) Hall of Fame and the twelfth person overall. In a part of the world filled with big name, successful farmers, he stood as a giant among them. Family man, horseman, farmer, cattleman, civic man, friend and neighbor - that was C.P. Honeycutt of Maricopa, Arizona.

When people conjure up images of cutting horses and cutting horse competitions they think mostly in terms of Texas. Nearly all of the people in the NCHA hall of fame are from Texas.

C.P. Honeycutt was born near Athens, Texas, in 1909, but rose to fame as a cutter - from Arizona. What’s even more amazing about the accomplishments of C.P. is he did this, and so much more, only working at it part time. You see, C.P. was a full time farmer.

C.P Honeycutt came of age during what most of his generation only refer to as “the dirty thirties,” commonly known as the Great Depression. Times were sure enough hard back then. C.P recalled later in life plowing endless hours with a team of mules; thankful just to have work. He’d tell stories of basically living in a crate on the side of the road, wondering where the next meal would come from. He never quite got over the feeling of being hungry and it drove him to great heights.

Things were so tough in Texas that towards the end of the thirties C.P., his wife, young daughter, brother and sister-inlaw decided to head west in search of a better life. They got as far as Eloy, Arizona, pulled into a station, almost out of gas and with one dollar left between them. They

were trying to decide whether to put another dollar of gas into the car and keep going west or buy a loaf of bread and bologna so they could eat.

A local farmer happened by the store right about then and on a whim, C.P. approached the man and asked if he needed any hands.

The man said the only job around right then was picking cotton; could they pick any cotton? Now keep in mind, back in those days cotton picking was done by hand and was hot, sweaty, back-breaking work. Well ole C.P. proudly says he can pick more cotton than anybody around, and he’d be willing to prove it!

Tom Carlton, impressed with C.P.’s spunk and determination, hired them on the spot. He told the man at the store to give Honeycutt all they needed and if they didn’t come back and pay, he’d stand good for it. C.P. and his family did not disappoint.

After cotton harvest, Mr. Carlton decided he could not let a hard worker like C.P. go on down the road so he hired him full time. A couple years later, the two men were talking one day and his employer asked Honeycutt if he’d like to get started

farming on his own. “Of course I would,” was the reply, but there wasn’t enough money. Tom Carlton knew a man like C.P. deserved a place of his own, so he suggested that C.P go talk to a finance man he knew, said he just might give him a start.

At the meeting with the finance man, C.P. laid out a plan of things he would need to get going. He was very conservative and tried to just ask for the bare minimum.

When finished, the man asked if he was sure if that was all he’d need. C.P. assured him he could make it, if he only had the chance. To the astonishment of C.P. Honeycutt, the finance man agreed to every bit of it. As it turns out, Tom Carlton had arranged it before hand and agreed to make the note good if C.P failed. C.P didn’t find out that part until later.

From that humble beginning grew the Honeycutt farming enterprise which at one point topped out at over 5,000 acres of cotton. Along with that, cattle, grains and other crops were raised. Eventually the original farm ground near Eloy and Casa Grande was sold and the Honeycutt operation relocated to Maricopa in the early ‘50s. C.P. was a standout farmer in a county full of great success stories.

Once he had a little money put together, he branched out into cattle as any true Texan should. Of course, when you own cattle, you ought to own horses. C.P. had wanted to own great horseflesh since his childhood days back in Texas. So when he decided to start buying horses, C.P. went for the best. He purchased three studs from the famous King Ranch and had them shipped by rail to Maricopa. That was the mid-1950s. The rest, as they say, is glorious history; he discovered cutting horse competitions.

Over the next 35 years C.P. rode cutting horses every chance he had. He competed

predominantly in Arizona but also hit shows in California, Nevada and Colorado.

Once in a great while he was able to get away from farming duties long enough to make the long trip to Texas, but it didn’t matter where he competed, C.P. was a continual winner. Year after year would find him in the top 10 in the nation even though he never went at it full time. C.P won so much in Arizona, California, Colorado and Nevada part time, it was good enough to keep him high in the national standings!

Locally C.P. was tough to beat. He won the Arizona cutting horse circuit more times than is easy to count and at one point was the champion three years running. C.P. was very involved in the Arizona Cutting Horse Association serving as its President on a couple of different occasions. He reportedly ran the Maricopa Stagecoach Days for 21 years and is credited with bringing cutting competitions to feedlots during the ‘70s and ‘80s. Fresh cattle during an event are always a must, and he came up with the idea that it’s much easier to bring the competition to the cattle rather than truck cattle to competitions. It worked well for all involved.

C.P. was such an accomplished horseman that Hollywood contacted him to appear in a few different movies for cutting horse scenes. This led to lifelong friendships with men like Lee Marvin, Roy Rogers, Gene Autry, James Arness and other celebrities. Local newspapers often reported on the famous men coming to hunt birds at the Honeycutt farm.

C.P was still riding his beloved cutting horses until about four months prior to his death at the age of 80. They gave him a life of enjoyment and of great accomplishment.

C.P. Honeycutt raised a wonderful crop of kids and grandkids as well who

were his pride and joy. Two daughters and a son for starters. Sadly his son was killed in a plane crash in 1976. Only in his late 30s, son Charles Honeycutt’s death was a tragedy to the family. C.P then became closer than ever to his remaining relatives. It has been said he was a great family man.

The Honeycutt farm located just south of Maricopa, Arizona happened to be just down the road from Red River farm and feedlot owned by the famous partnership of Louis Johnson and John Wayne. C.P and

Louie were good friends besides being neighbors and this, along with his other “actor” connections, led to him becoming friends with Duke also. Later in life, the Honeycutt’s, Johnson’s and Wayne’s often vacationed and hung out together, taking trips to see the sights.

The story of C.P. Honeycutt is an inspiring one which showsAus anyone can succeed through hard work, perseverance and living right. Not too bad for a poor cowboy who once lived on the side of the road in West Texas during the depression!

SEPTEMBER 2010

he LoneStar Regional Finals in Waco, Texas kicked off August 5 and ran through August 8, 2010. Team ropers from all over the country came to try their team roping skills and see who could get the big money and great prizes. The event, held at the Heart of Texas Coliseum, was a great one.

The first day of roping competition began with the Open division. It was an exciting roping with some outstanding talent. The second call back team of Speed Williams and Clay O’Brien Cooper caught their final steer in 6.78 seconds to bring their total on five steers to 37.65 seconds. They took over the lead but had to sweat out one team. Blake Hughes and Zane Bruce made a nice run, but when the clock stopped their total on five steers was 37.81 seconds. That gave them second place in the Average. The win of the roping went to Williams and Cooper.

“I really made my partner work for it today,” said Williams. “We were in a position to go at our last steer and so we did just that. It worked out for us.” The team took home $5,000 in cash plus some beautiful trophy Gist bits.

Both ropers were excited about their victory and are planning on attending the Cinch USTRC National Finals of Team Roping. Cooper also had some advice for up and coming heelers.

“You really have to work hard and practice a lot,” said Cooper. “You have to prepare yourself for any situation.”

The next event of the day was the #15 Preliminary. Jeff Bacon and Miguel Valenzuela came from the third call back position and caught their final steer in 7.55 seconds. They finished the roping with a total of 30.93 seconds on four steers and that was good enough for first place in the Average. The team won $3,686, trophy Gist bits, a USTRC National Shoot-Out worth $6,000 in USTRC Flex Earnings and a USTRC Regional ShootOut worth $2,000 in USTRC Flex Earnings.

Second place in the Average went to Jess Elrod

USTRC LoneStar Regional Finals and John East at 33.13 seconds on four. Third place went to the high team back Jesse Harville and Will Woodfin.

The #15 Shoot-Out was really exciting.

Tyler Wojciechowski and Steele Montague were the high team back, caught their final steer in 7.63 seconds and secured the first place finish in the Average. The victory landed them $6,522, trophy Martin saddles and a USTRC National Shoot-Out worth $6,000 in USTRC Flex Earnings.

“Steele has been a real integral part of my team roping,” said Wojciechowski. “We have been roping together about six or seven years and I have a lot of confidence in the way he can rope two feet.”

“Tyler is really an impressive header even though he is only 18 years old,” said Montague.

“I have been a member of USTRC for about 13 years and I have won a couple of saddles, but never a Shoot-Out saddle. I cannot wait to take this one home and show it to my wife.”

Second and third place was a split between the teams of Ty Murphy and Brent Parker and Cody Kohleffel and Will Woodfin.

Both teams completed the roping with a time of 41.87 seconds on four steers. Fourth place in the Average went to the team of Charles and Clint Quinn.

The second day of the LoneStar Regional Finals began with the #13 Preliminary. The Cyphers, Kyle and Keet came to the short round in the high call back position. They were in a position to win big, but had some misfortune in the short round. The team of Eric Daniels and Austin Santikos came from the sixth call back position and roped their final steer in 8.21 seconds. That run brought their four-steer average to 32.32 seconds and that was good enough to give them first place in the Average.

The win earned them $7,444, trophy Martin saddles, a USTRC National Shoot-Out worth $6,000 in USTRC Flex Earnings and a paid USTRC Regional Shoot-Out to the roping to follow. Second place in the Average was the

team of Luke Dement and Paul Griffey and third place went to Cole Wheeler and Tyler Sieber.

The #13 Shoot-Out was hot. The team of Cody Kohleffel and Shane Philipp were third call back to the short round. They made a nice run in the short round and finished the roping with a time of 41.18 seconds which landed them first place.

“I have been roping for about 8 years at USTRC ropings and this is my first time to win a US roping,” said Kohleffel. “This is my first USTRC saddle and I am pretty proud of it. I think this one is going in the house for a while.”

“My partner did a great job all day and made my job easy,” added Philipp. “I haven’t won a lot of heeling saddles, so I think mine is probably going in the house, too.”

The team pocketed $10,000, trophy Martin saddles and a USTRC National Shoot-Out worth $6,000 in USTRC Flex Earnings.

“I just wanted to catch and give Shane a shot,” said Kohleffel. “I was a little nervous, and I am glad it worked out for us.”

Second place went to the team of Arnold Felts and Ty Murphy, while third was Felts and Kress Jones. Daniels and Santikos continued their hot streak by placing fourth in the Average and taking home $3,508 plus a USTRC National Shoot-Out worth $6,000 in USTRC Flex Earnings.

It was on to the Gold Plus Division and what a roping it was. Chance Manning from Oklahoma and Sam Parker from Washington were the high team back. They roped their final steer in 8.49 seconds bringing their total to a 30.69 on four steers. That gave the duo the win of the Average.

“We have been roping together for about three years now and this is really the first big check we have ever won,” said Manning.

“Really I thought this was going to be easy when they said all I have to be was about twelve on our last steer. I was pretty confident we could do that.”

They took home $6,958, trophy leather brief cases and a Gold Plus National Shoot-Out. “The ropings in Washington are not what they are in this area,” said Parker. “I wanted to rope and so I packed my bags and headed down here. It feels really good to get a win.”

Second in the Average was the team of Steve Nolen and Monty Jacob. They were 34.94 seconds on four steers and took home $4,638 plus a USTRC Gold Plus National Shoot-Out worth $6,000 in USTRC Flex Earnings. The third-place team was Terry Shaw and Casper Billy and the team of Ben Brown and Allen Riney won the Incentive Average.

The #12 Preliminary was exciting right down to the very end. The second call back team of Britton Shafer and Brandon Burlin were 7.03 seconds on the short round steer and finished the roping with a time of 30.30 seconds. That was good enough for first place in the Average. They won $8,406, trophy Martin saddles, a USTRC National Shoot-Out worth $6,000 in USTRC Flex Earnings and a USTRC Regional Shoot-Out worth $2,000 in USTRC Flex Earnings. Second place went to the father/son team of James and Jerry Scott. They were 33.20 seconds on four steers and took home $5,604, trophy Gist buckles, a USTRC National Shoot-Out worth $6,000 in USTRC Flex Earnings and a USTRC Regional ShootOut worth $2,000 in USTRC Flex Earnings.

Third place went to the sixth call back team of Luke Dement and Casey Robinson.

The #12 Shoot-Out was the perfect conclusion to a great day of team roping.

Garrett Ingram and Cooper Vandiver were the high team back. They were 23.78 seconds on three steers to put them in the driver’s seat.

They were 7.34 seconds in the short round and secured the number one seat in the Average.

“I have been trying for a long time to win a US saddle and I am so glad I finally did,” said Ingram. “I was a little nervous as I backed into the box, but I knew if we could make a clean

run we would be okay.” The win gave them $10,000, trophy Martin saddles, and a USTRC National Shoot-Out worth $6,000 in USTRC Flex Earnings.

“I won a saddle at this roping back in 2005 and have been coming to this roping ever since trying to win another,” said Vandiver. “I was really nervous before our run, but I knew we can handle it and I was so excited when we ended up with a good clean run. This win really means a lot.”

Second place in the Average was the team of Tom and Colton Nelson. They were 32.96 seconds on four steers and earned $7,120 plus a USTRC National Shoot -Out worth $6,000 in USTRC Flex Earnings. Third place was Logan Sullivan and Austin Santikos, while fourth was Jim Daniel and Santikos.

Day number three of the LoneStar Regional Finals welcomed a whole new group of ropers to the HOT Coliseum in Waco, Texas. The day was packed with team roping activity and team ropers had the opportunity to take home lots of cash and some great prizes.

The #11 was first on the agenda. The team of Don Hancock and Lucas Marbach came from the second call back position to claim the Average win. They roped four steers in 33.48 seconds and took home $9,262, trophy Martin saddles, plus their entry fees paid into the #11 Shoot-Out. Second place in the Average was the team of Freddy Moore and Leroy Martinez.

They finished the roping with a four-steer average of 35.32 seconds. Third place was Twister Vinson and Randy Lewis, while fourth went to Bill Richards and Garrett Busby.

The #11 Shoot-Out played out in an interesting fashion. Forrest Fisher and Cooper Vandiver came from the eighth call back position and stopped the clock in 7.40 seconds.

“I was real nervous and this was my first big win and my first USTRC Martin saddle,” said Fisher with a sheepish grin.

“I had a lot of confidence in my partner getting that last steer roped.”

“You always get a little nervous but you just have to take one steer at a time and see what happens,” concluded Vandiver.

Second Place in the Average was Greg Lopez and Chris Seiler and third place was Trent Tatom and Tyler Sieber.

“It is also the biggest win for me team roping,” added Beach. “I was just trying not to be nervous, but it didn’t work. I was nervous and was glad I caught the steer. It was great and really exciting to do so well.”

ere we go again! The fall months bring on a whole load of seasonending events. The USTRC Finals are quickly approaching, meaning thousands of ropers are gearing up and fine tuning their skills for a chance to win big. Later, the World Series will be the highlight event every team roper will be talking about and there will also be the National Finals rodeo and the PBR World Finals that will capture headlines. There will also be the USCRA Finals in Texas where if you are a calf roper, you should be in attendance. Staying a little closer to home is the GCPRA, NMRA and several other associations that are heading towards their final-ending events.

Going through this month’s issue, it seems the NMRA is hitting a milestone, wrapping up 30 years as one of the premier amateur rodeo associations in the country.

However, even after 30 years it seems the association is nowhere near perfect and the bickering among directors is quickly spreading. I will say they better get a handle on things before the association takes another nose dive like it has in the past.

Hopefully before the NMRA Finals hit the Belen rodeo grounds this month, everything will be settled and members can enjoy the event like no other in 30 historical years.

On to another subject. It seems like everything is a mess in this country. From the wars we are in, the economic nightmare that has basically scared everyone into hoarding what money they may have, to the illegal immigration problem and much more. There seems to be no good news anywhere. I believe this is a major factor in

the overall sentiment of the country. When there is no good news, negativity soon takes over.

There is a little saying I heard a while back that went something like, “When you stop working on it – It stops working for you!” Think about that and replace the word “it” with anything. “When you stop working on your marriage – Your marriage stops working for you!” “When you stop working on your job – Your job stops working for you!” “When you stop working on your freedom – Your freedom stops working for you!”

Now, how do we fix the problems we have? I don’t think we can leave it completely up to the politicians we elect, although, I think that is a major contribution. No, I believe we all need to rise up and take back the freedom that has steadily been taken away from us. Each of us needs to take a stand in one little way that you think will help. Donate your time, your money, or even your thoughts to make things better.

For me, here are a few of my opinions that might help spur on some future battles in our quest to keep our freedom. ** I am sorry, but if a cross on the side of the road offends you, don’t look at it! ** Look at the first word of illegal immigrant. “Illegal” – that means you have broken a law and a punishment is in store for you! ** Stop spending money you don’t have. I can’t do that without it catching up to me pretty quickly, why does the government think they can? ** Get a job. Don’t just stand there with your hand out! There is always a floor to be mopped, a yard to be cleared of trash and weeds or in my case, a pen that need to be cleaned.

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

Galisteo – 2010!

PHOTOS COURTESY OF PAUL SPRINGER DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY

A

lot of action surrounded this years Rodeo De Galisteo that took place mid July. Dubbed one of the biggest Open rodeo events in New Mexico, it is always a great place to see some of the best rodeo talent in the state compete. The western atmosphere of the small town of Galisteo, the wild action of rodeo and the hard work from the many people that help host the annual event, makes it one of the best!

This year’s event was met with enthusiasm and many tough cowboys and cowgirls of every age hit the dusty soil of the arena floor with a vengeance to win their events. From the mutton busting to the roping, racing, and ridings events, there was no shortage of excitement. Thanks to rodeo photographer Paul Springer who was in

attendance with his trusty camera, we have a chance to share some of the highlights of Rodeo De Galisteo, 2010!

Congratulations to this years first place average buckle winners!

Mayo, Mcbeth, Flynn, Dunn, Beutler Take Their Place In Prorodeo Hall Of Fame Courtesy of PRCA

P

aul Mayo, a two-time world champion and an innovator in the style of bareback riding that is still used today, headed a five-member ProRodeo Hall of Fame class that was inducted mid-July in a ceremony that had the feel of a family reunion.

Mayo, the world champion bareback rider in 1966 and 1970, was joined in the Hall by 1974 world champion saddle bronc rider John McBeth, three-time National Finals Rodeo bull riding champion Denny Flynn, bullfighter Rex Dunn and third-generation stock contractor Bennie Beutler.

That’s five men who all worked the roughstock end of the arena during careers that intersected many times on the rodeo road and who developed a deep sense of mutual respect.

“I’m proud to be part of this day in more ways than one,” McBeth said. “All of these guys are from our era; they’re all good cowboys and all good friends for a long time.”

Dunn reminisced about the 14 years he spent fighting bulls at Beutler family rodeos and how Flynn always remembered to thank him after every ride. Flynn talked about how Mayo was an idol of his when he started out, and how many times Beutler’s bull Cowtown hooked him.

And Beutler had stories to tell on all of them.

“It is absolutely fun going in with this bunch of guys,” Beutler said.

Mayo, along with his brothers, Don and Bob, and Jim Houston, is credited with altering the style of bareback riding in the 1960s, taking a position farther back on the horse, literally lying down on the horse’s back and spurring as the horse went over the peak of its jump, began its descent and kicked up its hind legs.

Mayo, of Sutherland Springs, Texas, became so expert at the technique – dubbed the Mayo Style – that in addition to his pair of gold buckles he was also the reserve world champion three times (1965, 1967 and 1971), losing the ’65 title to Houston by just $641.

A talented all-around hand, Mayo, 68, also qualified twice for the NFR in bull riding, rode saddle broncs and occasionally roped steers. He had 12 NFR qualifications overall, twice finished among the top three in the world all-around standings and won the Linderman Award for allaround excellence at both ends of the arena in 1968.

“Paul beat the best of two generations of bareback riders,” said ProRodeo Hall of Fame Saddle Bronc Rider Shawn Davis, who accompanied Mayo to the podium.

“All the people he beat to win world titles are (already) in the Hall of Fame.

“The thing about Paul was that he understood rodeo better than anybody in the sport – how to enter, how to travel and how to compete once he got in the arena. A write-up in the PRCA annual may have said it best, describing him as ‘a cool character with Marlon Brando-like poise, a 5-5 cowboy with a prize

fighter build who was one of the sport’s fiercest competitors.’”

McBeth, of Andover, Kansas, was an 11-time NFR qualifier (1965-74, 1978), all in saddle bronc riding. In his world championship season of 1974, he took the lead on March 15, was assured of the title before the NFR, and finished second in the average at Oklahoma City to break the event’s single-season earnings record by more than $10,000.

McBeth, 69, served as Prairie Circuit Manager for 10 years (1975-85) while still a competitor and won the year-end Prairie Circuit championship six times (1975-78, 1984-85). The second-generation PRCA cowboy also worked as a judge at the National Finals Rodeo, College National Finals Rodeo and National High School Finals Rodeo.

“Back in the early days of my career, a great rodeo cowboy gave me two pieces of advice that affected me profoundly,” McBeth said. “He said that amateurs compete against everyone, but a true professional only competes against himself.

He also said you need to approach each ride with the idea you are going to spur one inch higher every jump.

“I always figured if I could follow those ideals and maintain an extreme sense of competition, I would do all right.”

Often identified as the most talented bull rider never to win a world title, Flynn, of Charleston, Arkansas, qualified for the National Finals Rodeo 10 times (1974-82, 1985) and set a record for most bull riding average titles won at the NFR (1975, 198182), later equaled by Jim Sharp. Flynn, 59, finished second in the PRCA season standings three times, losing the 1980 title to Don Gay by a mere $188.

His 98-point ride on Tommy Steiner’s Red Lightning at Palestine, Illinois, in 1979 was a world record for a dozen years and remains the second-highest score in ProRodeo history in anyAroughstock event. Flynn’s 92-point score on a bull named Ed Pivik at Cheyenne (Wyoming) Frontier Days in 1974 stood as the arena record for 15 years. Flynn was inducted in the newly merged notables/lifetime achievement category.

“It was a humbling experience when I saw all my stuff in the display case,” said Flynn, who estimated 60-80 family and friends from Arkansas made the trip for the induction. “Here I was alongside all the greats of the sport. It was all a bit overwhelming. I’m proud to go in with this group. They have all been a big part of my life.”

The Beutler name has been synonymous with stock contracting since 1929, when brothers Elra, Jake and Lynn Beutler began providing stock to Oklahoma and Texas rodeos. Jake and Lynn – a member of the inaugural ProRodeo Hall of Fame induction class of 1979 – kept the sibling business running in similar form, while Elra eventually teamed with son Jiggs to form the original Beutler & Son marquee.

Bennie Beutler, 61, worked with his

SEPTEMBER 2010

father, Jiggs, and grandfather in the family business, and after his elders’ deaths in the 1980s, Bennie joined forces with E.K. Gaylord II to form Beutler & Gaylord Rodeo. That partnership endured for a dozen years, with Beutler being named PRCA Stock Contractor of the Year in 1997. In 2001, Bennie and son Rhett began a partnership that reclaimed the firm’s original name, Beutler & Son. Since 1982, Beutler has served as assistant general manager at the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo after stints as NFR chute boss and the stock contractor representative on the NFR Committee. He served on the PRCA Board of Directors from 1989 through 2005.

“This has to be the highlight of my life in rodeo by far,” Beutler said. “It just doesn’t get any better than this.”

Dunn, 54, was selected to work three NFRs (1983, 1985-86), two Canadian Finals Rodeos and 13 circuit finals over a 16-year professional bullfighting career in which his deceptively effortless style earned him the nickname “Mr. Smooth” from Hall of Fame announcer Clem McSpadden. Dunn twice finished second in the Wrangler Bullfighting standings –

47

making six appearances – and was voted PRCA Clown of the Year in 1985.

Once he stepped out of the arena, Dunn began putting on bullfighting schools and became a fighting-bull stock contractor, creating Coyote Hills Rodeo. He had 138 bulls selected for the NFR bullfighting competition from 1986-2000. The Professional Bullfighters organization has named an award in his honor, in tribute to his excellence in the arena.

“I’ve forgotten more good memories than most people every have,” Dunn said, “and this is the greatest one of all … the biggest dream.”

The ProRodeo Hall of Fame inductees are selected by a committee of former contestants, PRCA officials and rodeo experts. More than 150 individuals are nominated each year and selection is based on contributions to the sport of professional rodeo in any of seven categories: contestant, contract personnel, stock contractors, rodeo committees, livestock, notables and lifetime achievement.

Including this year’s inductees, 217 people, 25 animals and 16 rodeo committees have been enshrined in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

Mayo, Mcbeth, Flynn, Dunn, Beutler— That’s five men who all worked the roughstock end of the arena during careers that intersected many times on the rodeo road and who developed a deep sense of mutual respect.

Bennett flexes (sore) muscle with win at Lovington, N.M.

Brazile surpasses $200,000 milestone, moves up in team roping standings

Bareback rider Caleb Bennett has recently been dealing with a chronic biceps strain in his right arm that has seen him making far more trips to the Justin Sportsmedicine trailer than the pay window.

Therapy, Aleve, rest and careful scheduling are not the best path to moving up the standings, so Bennett was “as surprised as anybody” when he won three rodeos over the Aug. 4-8 weekend, including the Lea County Fair & PRCA Rodeo in Lovington, N.M., a Wrangler Million Dollar Tour Silver event presented by Justin Boots.

Bennett rode Carr Pro Rodeo’s River Boat Annie for 89 points to hold off D.V. Fennell and two past world champions, Justin McDaniel and Will Lowe, for the title in Lovington. He also won at Grace, Idaho, and Heber City, Utah, 45 miles from his home in Bluffdale, Utah.

“I don’t normally notice (the injury) when I’m riding,” Bennett said, “but it gets real sore and weak afterward. I’ve found I can usually make 3-4 rides back to back without it being too bad. I’ve had to kind of pick and choose when I compete.

“Rick Foster with Justin Sportsmedicine has shown me some exercises that have really helped. Those guys are miracle workers. Otherwise, I take pain meds and rest. I’m taking a couple of days off now; today, I can’t fully extend my arm.”

He pushed things a bit over the weekend, competing in five rodeos over six days, the last in Loveland, Colo., Aug. 8.

It’s a pretty safe bet that the muscle would had to have been pulled away from the bone for Bennett to miss Lovington after he found out he’d drawn River Boat Annie.

“I was 88 points on her at Waco (Texas) the only other time I’d gotten on her,” Bennett said, “so I knew I had some points there and had a chance to win.”

The one constant is that Trevor Brazile is going to win his money. Guessing in which event it’s going to come … well, that’s another matter. A week ago, Brazile earned more than $10,000 in steer roping competition. This week, the total was zero, but he and partner Patrick Smith won $10,218 in team roping in the Wrangler Million Dollar Tour Silver rodeos in Sikeston, Mo., and Hermiston, Ore., moving up a spot in the heading standings from fifth place to fourth. Brazile’s allaround total is now $206,981, giving him a record 10 consecutive seasons with earnings of more than $200,000. He has a lead of more than $100,000 over secondplace Ryan Jarrett as he moves closer to a record eighth all-around gold buckle.

Harris fighting to extend his reign Nevermind the slow start to his season, J.W. Harris is pushing hard to become the first bull rider to win three consecutive world championships since Don Gay in 1979-81. Harris, of Mullin, Texas, had three wins over the Aug. 11-15 weekend – in Lawton, Okla., Ponca City, Okla., and Coffeyville, Kan. – to earn $8,160 and move from eighth in the world standings to fourth. The biggest check came at the Lawton Rangers Rodeo, where Harris earned $4,874 for his devilishly good 87point ride on Beutler & Son Rodeo’s No. 666.

PBR PBR to Surpass $100 Million in Prize Money Milestone Event Took Place in Nashville Eighteen-year-old sports league Professional Bull Riders announced that it surpassed the $100 million-mark in prize money awarded at the Jack Daniel’s Invitational on Saturday and Sunday in Nashville, Tenn.

“This is a major milestone for the PBR,” said PBR Senior Vice President of Competition Jay Daugherty. “We take pride in presenting the world’s best bull riding competition and creating the largest earning potential for bull riders.”

The PBR was nominated as 2010 Sports League of the Year at the Sports Business Journal Sports Business Awards alongside the National Football League, National Basketball Association and Major League Baseball.

Before the PBR was formed in 1992, top-ranked bull riders might have earned $100,000 in a season, with no rider reaching $1 million during their entire career, including eight-time world champion Donnie Gay. The PBR has already had 20

riders earn over $1 million, and another five are less than $100,000 from the mark. The PBR has had 20 or more riders earn over $100,000 each of the last five years and the PBR World Finals has the largest single payout of any bull riding event on the planet.

“We have made tremendous strides in 18 years and are excited and proud of this achievement,” said PBR founder Ty Murray, who earned more than $1 million in the first 10 years of the organization. “The PBR has incredible potential and we will continue to grow as more people are introduced to it.”

The Nashville stop will be the 23rd of 30 events on the 2010 Built Ford Tough Series, which features the Top 40 bull riders in the world matched against the fiercest bucking bulls. The event is being held at Bridgestone Arena, and tickets can be purchased at www.ticketmaster.com or by telephone at (800) 732-1727.

The PBR is having one of the deepest races in history with 16 different winners in the first 22 events. Eleven riders ranked in the Top 20 have won an event and the lead has changed nine times with six different riders at the top.

Hitting the weekend trifecta probably eased the pain a bit, too. It produced earnings of $7,353 and moved him up in the PRCA World Standings from 31st to 29th place.

Steer wrestler Dane Hanna has been riding Jeff Green’s horse, Streak, all year, and never had the horse’s name seemed more fitting that it did over the weekend.

Hanna won at Lovington with a two-head time of 7.5 seconds and backed that up with another win at Iowa’s Championship Rodeo in Sidney, and a check at Abilene, Kan., that brought his winnings for the weekend to $7,928.

Hanna advanced from 24th place in the PRCA World Standings to 15th.

“My confidence has been high lately,” said Hanna, who also won the Tour rodeo in Sheridan, Wyo., two weeks earlier. “It seems I’ve consistently had a chance to win.

Sometimes you are bulldogging well and you don’t win anything, but it’s been good lately. A lot of that has to do with the horse.

He’s a difference maker, very solid.”

Hanna rode him at Reno (Nev.) last year and had some success with him in the late fall, so he worked out a deal to use Streak this year with Green hazing for him.

Defending World Champion Team Ropers Nick Sartain and Kollin VonAhn had their biggest win of the season at Lovington, putting together a two-head time of 9.9 seconds to edge the new pairing of Kelsey Parchman and Michael Jones by a tenth of a second and earn $5,154 apiece.

Eighteen-time World Champion Steer Roper Guy Allen returned to Lovington – where he lived for many years – and edged Trevor Brazile in the three-head average (34.9 to 35.5 seconds). Allen moved up to 20th place in the standings, a little over $2,000 away from the No. 15 spot he would need to qualify for his record 33rd berth in the Clem McSpadden National Finals Steer Roping this fall in Guthrie, Okla.

The other champions at Jake McClure Arena were saddle bronc rider Louie Brunson (88 points), tie-down roper Ryan Watkins (18.1 seconds on two head), barrel racer Kenna Squires (17.32 seconds) and bull rider Wesley Silcox (89 points).

DeMoss sets arena record at Cheyenne Frontier Days Louisiana saddle bronc rider Cody DeMoss missed more than half of the season after having reconstructive surgery on his right knee on Dec. 22 after his sixth Wrangler National Finals Rodeo appearance. DeMoss – who finished second in the PRCA World Standings in 2009 – returned to action in mid-June, and he sure is making up for lost time.

DeMoss won Cheyenne (Wyo.) Frontier Days on Aug. 1 and set an arena record en route to the victory at the “Daddy of ’em All,” scoring 254 points on three head and pocketing $13,119.

The crowd-pleaser was his 91-point record-setter in the finals on Harry Vold Rodeo’s Painted Valley to clinch his second Cheyenne title. DeMoss’ ride surpassed the previous record of 90 points shared by Ryan Mapston (2004) and Chet Johnson (2009).

Five-time World Champion Saddle Bronc Rider Billy Etbauer sealed his Cheyenne victory on the same paint stallion in the finals last year. The win by DeMoss catapulted him from 38th in the Aug. 2 world standings to 23rd.

“When you’ve got a horse like that, heck, anything’s a possibility,” DeMoss said. “You can come back from dead last and win something on him.

“I think I rode him last night about 100 times (in my head). He got tapped off and just hung in the air there a little at the end.

You can’t dream it any better than that.”

About the Professional Bull Riders, Inc. (PBR) The PBR was founded in 1992 by 20 marquee bull riders whose goal was to make bull riding, the most popular and dangerous part of traditional rodeo, into a stand-alone sport, with prize money commensurate with the risks.

Each of the founders invested $1,000 to start the PBR, an investment which turned into millions in 2007 when Spire Capital Partners acquired the interests of the founding riders and invested in the growth of the sport.

More than 100 million viewers tune in each year to the PBR on Versus, NBC, CBS and on television networks around the world. With approximately 400 hours of primetime programming annually, the PBR ranks among the most prolific sports on air. The PBR attracts nearly two million live event attendees each year to its marquee Built Ford Tough Series and the PBR Touring Pro Division. More than 1,200 PBR bull riders compete every year in approximately 300 PBR sanctioned competitions in the United States, Australia, Brazil, Canada and Mexico.

NEW MEXICO HIGH SCHOOL RODEO ASSOCIATION Go to www.nmhighschoolrodeo.com for NMHSRA information Contestants and Parents, Welcome to the 2010-2011 NMHSRA rodeo season. I hope everyone enjoyed their summer and is ready for an exciting year of high school rodeo. For those of you new to the association, my name is Myra Skinner, your State Secretary. I am here to help and direct in any manner possible, if you have any questions please feel free to call. All contact information is listed at the end of this letter.

NMHSRA also has a web page that contains important information which is updated on a regular basis (www.nmhighschoolrodeo.com).

You should check the site frequently for updated information!

D’Aun Gudgell is our entry secretary.

Please drop in and get acquainted with her if you have not already done so. Her contact information is on the website, so please become familiar with this information. We are looking forward to another great year with D’Aun. We would like to wish our National team good luck as they represent New Mexico at the National Finals in Gillette, Wyoming.

As we begin the new year, we need to thank many hard working people who helped at the finals as well as throughout the year. I would like to thank everyone that contributed to the National basket. We would also like to say thank you to those whom contributed to the Silent Auction fundraiser. This activity raised over $1,200 for the association. We collected $9,998 from the raffle ticket fundraiser. Everyone needs to thank Nellie Smith for keeping track of all that. It was

NOT an easy job. Thanks to Henry & Hilda Nakai for providing us with quality pictures year after year. A big thank to Pat Gray for the great volleyball tournament; Donnette Nelson for the professional job organizing the Scholarship interviews and Sherri Montoya at check in. We would also like to thank Tilt James and his ministry for providing the inspiring church services throughout the year.

The annual Board of Directors meeting will be held on August 8th, 2010. We also have several new directors that will be joining us this year. We want to welcome them to the board. A complete list of the Directors and Officers, along with their contact information will be available on the web page. You will also be getting this information in your entry packet from D’Aun Gudgell.

Mandatory General Membership Meeting We will be having a mandatory general membership meeting at the Gallup rodeo, Saturday, August 28th, at 8:00am in the grandstands. You will be given general information, new ground rules. PLEASE read the following information carefully.

Election Of Student Event Directors We will be electing student event directors.

If you are interested you need to talk to your adult event director on Saturday at Gallup.

The adult event directors will turn in a

maximum of three names by the end of Saturday at the Gallup rodeo, which will then be put on a voting ballot. You can only vote for the student directors in the events you participate. You will vote for the directors by ballot at Gallup. These individuals represent you, please make sure you vote. Elections will be held on Sunday. Once again, if you run for a directorship, please be prepared to WORK! I hope you will consider being a student event director. It is work but you will learn a lot, have fun, and it looks great on your scholarship applications!

Attention Seniors 2011 Congratulations! You are in your final year of high school rodeo, with that accomplishment comes responsibilities. If you plan to apply for a NMHSRA Scholarship, you must meet all the criteria.

You CANNOT wait until the last minute to get that done. One requirement is taking a college entrance exam (ACT or SAT).

These tests are given certain times of the year and you need to register early. If you need help check with your school counselor.

You also need to keep a record of the community service, leadership activities, and volunteer work not only through high school rodeo but school and church also. As the year progresses, it is hard to remember all your activities. Get a calendar and write down the information as events happen. The small steps you do now will help tremendously next spring. Remember, if you need help ask!

New Rules You will receive new ground rules in your membership packet. Please be sure to read them carefully. They will be enforced and you need to become familiar with them.

2010-2011 membership forms, as well as entry and release forms are now available for download. Go to www.nmhighschoolrodeo.com!

2010/2011 News!

This next year will bring some exciting changes. The Arizona Jr. High School Rodeo Association and the Arizona High School Rodeo Association have decided to combine the two rodeos and produce them on the same weekends. Both Associations’ Board of Directors will work hard to schedule the rodeo events together to provide a smooth running production. Both Board of Directors’ feel that this will benefit both Associations’, financially as well as possibly introduce new members/families to the sport of rodeo and the NHSRA and the NHSRA Jr. High Division.

Upcoming Rodeos Cash Only in 2010! (Money orders and Cashier Checks accepted) Entries in our rodeos are taken seriously. Call the Turnout number (505-864-9426) if you must turnout of a rodeo for any reason including medical, emergency or vet release. You may not compete for 10 days if you vet or medical out and a release is due in the office within 7 days or entry fee and fine will be assessed. All Non-Members must enter with credit card when calling in entries.

No exceptions!

Contestants may draw out up to the closing of entries – After entries close you will be turning out and expected to pay fees.

Rodeos having first sanction with New Mexico will have a $13 CES/Finals Fund deducted from advertised fees and have a $20 Stock Charge also deducted from fees. Bull riders have $10 day money added to fees as well! All non-members entering NMRA rodeos must enter with a credit card. The credit card WILL be run upon entering.

If you belong to an association that DOES NOT guarantee your fees you must also enter with a credit card. This is due to the excessive nonmember turn outs at NMRA rodeos.

Incentive team ropers must show current 2010 USTRC cards, or receipt that card was purchased, when paying fees or you will rope as an open team.

There is no longer a number to call the USTRC to confirm numbers, therefore proof must be supplied when paying fees. No exceptions!

NMRA cards can be purchased on site at NMRA rodeos. Cards must be purchased before competing in order for money won to count for year end points.

THE FIRST 5 STRAND CALF ROPE WITH A CORE What happens when 5 strands of low stretch poly fibers are woven around a solid braided core? You get a rope with speed and snap as quick as a viperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strike, but with more consistency and less stretch than any calf rope on the market today.

With the feel of your favorite poly-grass and the strength and stability that only core-tech can give it, you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t break this rope. And like a viper, its the same every time....Deadly accurate.

Does Your Horse Have What It Takes To Be The First Supermask II supermodel?

Farnam Launches Contest To Find the 2011 SuperMask II Supermodel When Farnam launched the SuperMask® II Horse Fly Mask from the new Shimmer Weave™ Mesh Color Collection this spring it was just the start of things to come.

Farnam put the fun in function with this new SuperMask® II fly mask featuring an exclusive tri-color Shimmer Weave™ mesh combined with fashion forward plush trim

to reflect your horse’s unique color.

Now, Farnam is searching the entire country, all 50 states plus the District of Columbia, to find the first SuperMask II Supermodel. This special horse will need to walk the walk, and talk in whinnies – while strutting their stuff on the red carpet because the Grand Prize winning horse will star in Farnam’s national SuperMask® II fly mask advertising campaign throughout the 2011 Fly Season.

SuperMask II Supermodel contest entry forms and complete contest rules are available online at www.farnamhorse.com/supermask and at participating Farnam dealers. Contestants must submit a photograph of one horse along with 25 words or less about why their horse should be the SuperMask II Supermodel for 2011. Entries must be received at Farnam by October 1, 2010.

Twelve semi-finalists will be chosen from the pool of eligible entries and posted on the www.farnamhorse.com/supermask website on October 14, 2010. The public will be asked to vote online for their favorite horse from October 15 through November 12, 2010.

In addition to being the star of the photo shoot, the Grand Prize winner will also receive a Farnam® horse product prize package worth $1,000. The eleven runnerups will receive Farnam® horse product prize packages worth $250.

The SuperMask® II with Shimmer Weave™ Mesh Color Collection is available in four fashionable color configurations: Copper mesh with Cheetah trim, Silver mesh with Lynx trim, Copper mesh with Black trim and Silver mesh with Black trim.

Choose the trim and weave color combination that enhances your horse’s natural coloring. It is available in Horse, XL and Arabian sizes without ears and in Horse and XL sizes with ears.

The SuperMask® line of horse fly masks has been the brand of choice by horse owners for more than 20 years because it is designed to fit and conform to your horse’s natural contours. They keep flies, dust, dirt and debris away from your horse’s eyes while protecting their face and eyes from harmful UV rays and aiding eye injuries to heal. The see-through mesh does not obstruct the horse’s vision and the plush, fly-proof trim provides maximum comfort without rubbing or harsh abrasion.

SuperMask® products provide proven performance – Built to Fit, Built to Last, Built to Stay On!™ – even when horses are turned out together.

SuperMask® II Horse Fly Mask with Shimmer Weave™ Mesh is an official fly control product of the American Quarter Horse Association and United States Equestrian Federation.

Farnam Companies, Inc. Over the past six decades, Farnam Companies, Inc., has grown to become one of the most widely recognized names in the animal health products industry and has become one of the largest marketers of equine products in the country. No one knows horses better than Farnam. That’s why no one offers a more complete selection of horse care products. Farnam Horse Products serves both the pleasure horse and the performance horse markets with products for fly control, hoof and leg care, grooming, wound treatment, leather care, plus feed and nutritional supplements.

Ranch Steakhouse Event Raises Nearly $9,000 for Rein in Cancer

The Ranch Steakhouse in Oklahoma City recently hosted a private dinner party in conjunction with the Ford American Quarter Horse Youth Association World Championship Show to raise $8,780 for 5D Rein in Cancer.

Helming, “For three years now, the Rein in Nancy, Ditz, 18.616, $22 Cancer benefit at the Ranch Steakhouse has grown and continues to raise money Open for the nutritional support of our families Average and friends with cancer,” said Event Chair 1D Kerry Papendick.

more than $20,000 to support the work of the Shirley Bowman Nutritional Clinic at the University of Oklahoma Cancer Institute.

“Many cancer patients cannot fight their battle when malnourished,” Papendick said.

“Thank you to all who came to the dinner.

With your donations, you have provided months of nutritional support to many cancer patients.”

The clinic was established with help from Rein in Cancer and by family and friends in honor of the memory of Shirley Bowman, who died in 2004 after a long and courageous battle with breast cancer.

Shirley’s sister, “Shorty” Koger, owner of Shorty’s Caboy Hattery in Oklahoma City, was the driving force in encouraging support for the nutrition program at the OUCI. “This special event just keeps getting better and better. Each year we struggle to think of ways to top the year before and somehow the entertainment comes through” said Koger, a co-founder of Rein in Cancer. “This year’s event was just great and we truly appreciate everyone coming out and supporting our cause.”

An equine-industry group, Rein in Cancer was created by Koger, Cheryl Magoteaux, and Tracie Anderson of the OU Cancer Institute in 2007 to recognize the willingness of the horse community to help with the fight against cancer. It has raised thousands upon thousands of dollars to support care for cancer patients, help fund treatment and contribute to the Shirley Bowman wing at the OU Cancer Institute in Oklahoma City.

Loyal To The Brand “Whose bread I eat, his song I sing.”

Old German Saying

I’d feel like a schmuck going anywhere else. And even though the grocery store is smaller, and not as well stocked as the other one in town, we still buy our groceries from the store where my wife worked all those years. They helped support us and how could we not support them in good conscience?

I know this attitude is very much out of style and that many would think I’m a fool.

I’m supposed to shop at Wal Mart, buy a Honda and buy my books online from Amazon. But Wal Mart never did anything for me, Honda never bought one of my FFA steers like a local Caterpillar dealer did, and Amazon won’t even sell my books any more because I’m not a big enough publisher. (Although they’ll gouge you on a used one.) Why should I give them any of my business?

It may be irrational these days to remain loyal to brand names when the generic store brands are cheaper, but I just can’t bring myself to do it. I buy Craftsman tools because they are great tools and when one broke a long time ago Sears replaced it, no questions asked, just like they promised

else. So it broke my heart to see GM go broke. If I was in charge of GM I’d go to a different employee parking lot every have a multitude of faults and there are morning and fire every employee who many things I don’t like about myself. I showed up for work driving anything but a drive, talk and eat too fast and type too GM vehicle. I think it’s terrible to draw a slow. I have no patience, can be hotheaded good paycheck from a company and then at times, can’t keep a secret, and I worry not buy the product you helped build. constantly about things that will never I banked with the same bank that gave happen. Just to name a few of my many me my first loan as an FFA’er in high faults. I could go on and on but I think school until they were merged out of you get the picture. I am a man of many existence. And to this day I buy Union 76 foibles and frailties but there is one thing gasoline exclusively because they gave me that I do like about myself: I am loyal. a job in the oilfields during the summers It breaks my heart to see companies so that I could pay my way through that I’ve been loyal to go bankrupt or college. I am loyal to the publications that cease to exist. The first vehicle I ever run my column and I have never upped bought was a Chevy because a nearby my rates since I started writing a weekly General Motors dealer bought one of my column 27 years ago. I think it’s the least I Grand Champion steers when I was in can do for the companies that took a big high school. When I married and moved gamble on me. away my wife and I bought seven We use the same husband and wife OldsmobilesMONTH from the same wonderful mechanic shop toINsmog our vehicles CRX’D MAR 10 BUILT BY VSA HOUSEtest PROOF man who was extremely loyal to me.

they would. I’ll only buy an Apple computer, even if they are more expensive, because they have served me well for over 25 years. I’ve been a lifelong customer of Mott’s Apple Sauce, Justin Boots, A and W Root Beer, J.C. Pennys, and Pendleton Woolen Mills because their products are consistently good and, like the true friends they have become, they have earned my loyalty. Old cowboys called such loyalty “ridin for the brand” and, as usual, the cowboys got it right.

Although I may criticize our politicians and assorted alphabet agencies, you will never hear me criticize the United States of America. Some call such love of country “patriotism” but I still think of it as being loyal. I love my country for giving me the freedom and the opportunity to become all that I could be, and I will always be loyal to this country until the day that I die or it goes out of business.

And unless more of us start shopping the same way, I’m sad to say, that’s a very real possibility. www.LeePittsbooks.com

September 2010 Chimp Robertson Hooker, Oklahoma

Philip: At a roping I recently attended, I made a clean head catch and when I dallied and turned, my rope popped off the saddle horn, so I kicked up and got another dally. The heeler picked up both hind feet and we got tight and faced, but the flagger waved us out.

When I got my rope off the steer I rode back out to the flagger and asked him why he flagged us out and he said, “You fumbled your dally.”

I said, “Yeah, I know, but I got another dally and the heeler got both hind feet and we faced tight,” and he replied, “No, you didn’t,” and rode off. Any comment?

Located in one of the most secluded and lush areas in Tucson, this ranch estate has been in the same family for more than 30 years and has just now become available. Professionally landscaped grounds surround the home with mature trees, rose gardens, extensive lighting, automatic irrigation and fruit orchards.

Proximity to shopping conveniences but extreme seclusion makes this home a unique opportunity.

There are endless horse trails to be explored but one doesn’t have to leave the house to watch the deer, javelina, hawks, owls, quail, fox and bobcats as this ranch provides water and refuge for these and many other native animals.

Chimp: If I understand, you are saying you had to kick up and re-dally and the heeler had not thrown his rope yet. You had complete control of the steer and dally when the heeler threw his rope. If that was the case, it sounds like the flagger dropped the flag too quickly. As a flagger, I would not have dropped the flag until the run was complete, no matter how many times you “fumbled your dally.” If I understand, when you turned off, your dally popped off.

You then kicked up, re-dallied, your heeler threw his rope before you had complete control of the steer and legally turned with a dally. If that was the case, it sounds like it was actually a crossfire. Furthermore, when you face, both ropers must have a dally, both horses must have all four feet on the ground, in a straight line and both ropes tight. When the run is complete and both ropers have met the criteria, then the flagger should drop the flag and not before. You also must remember that different events have different rules. You must know the rules and understand the rules before you rope.

Phone Whisperers

M

y friend and I were strolling through the local farmers’ market one day, when she suddenly began talking. I tried to answer her, even though I really didn’t know what she was talking about. This went on a few minutes – her talking, then me talking – when she finally turned toward me and lifted her hair. Underneath it was one of those bug-looking things people plug into their ears that I assume are cell phones.

In the past, when we saw a person walking around talking when nobody else was in sight, we knew they were a bit “off the beam” because talking to no one is a sure giveaway the talker has lost his or her sanity.

No more, evidently. Those folks with the bug-looking things stuck to their ears even gesture while talking. Amazing.

Every time I see a person walking around with that growth-looking thing hanging from an ear I must stifle an urge to jerk it out and stomp it like you would a bug.

Also, it appears those folks believe they’re IMPORTANT – so important they must be “on call” at all times. Have you noticed they talk really loud, too? Evidently, that’s so everyone within a quarter-mile hears the person’s conversation and becomes aware of the phone speaker’s importance.

Years ago my husband had a two-way radio phone in his pickup. After about a month he took it out. “I don’t need to be available at all times,” he said. The phone thing sprouting from an ear would be anathema to him.

So I’ve been thinking (yeah, I know, that’s a dangerous thing for me). There might actually be a practical use for these bug thingies. What if we plug them into our working animals’ ears – like maybe dogs and horses?

If you could whisper instructions to your working cow dog, that would be awesome.

Those dogs already know the commands, so it would be a small matter to teach them to obey when they’re delivered in a very quiet manner. When that herd-quitting old cow decides to take off, you could just order her brought back in a quiet little voice.

The best part would be mystifying the other cowhands. You could say, “My dog can read an old cow’s mind. Just watch,” as your dog circles the herd and brings the cranky old heifer back.

Service dogs could conquer a whole new dimension. You and your dog could sneak up on a drug dealer and, without making any loud noises, tell your dog to bring the dealer down. The surprise factor would be great.

What about our horses? They could be taught voice commands so we could drive a herd of cattle riding one horse and another working with no rider. For a cutting contest our horses would be unbeatable. We could just work without a bridle. Some cutting horses can do that, anyway, but this would be really nifty to watch.

I have no problem putting those things in my animals’ ears, but I don’t want one stuck to my own head, thank you very much.
