OCTOBER 2012

THE

Competitorial I

t’s not ever hard to find a topic for October. It’s always about “Finals.” It’s kind of become the de facto end of the season, as organizations from Jr. rodeo events and up, wrap things up before kind of hibernating for the winter. That said, one stands above the rest.

The Cinch USTRC National Finals of Team roping is the unquestionable king of events when it comes to year-end finals. Yes, I know the NFR is telecast on ESPN and garners more notoriety among the overall American population, and there is no disputing that team roping is not the spectator sport that rodeo is, but The NFTR is different. It’s different because it’s a finals of the people… the common man.

Whether you’re a team roper or not, whether you even like the sport or not, it has the respect of every true competitor in the rodeo genre of sports. The reason it’s so respected is because of what it represents. The USTRC’s NFTR is one of a kind because it’s the only pure example of a true Finals, where any normal working guy or gal can compete, with the possibility of walking away with the title of “National Champion.”

Moreover, It’s not a title of mere words, and it’s not one that is earned easily….it’s the real deal, and is universally recognized as such by its peers.

This means a lot to team ropers, but what earns it respect by even non-ropers is the monetary value attached to it. At the conclusion of the 2012 NFTR, over 5 million dollars in cash and prizes will be awarded. And though it’s true that some of this will go to competitors that make their living as professional team ropers, what is respected most by ropers and non-ropers alike is that over 90% of it will be doled out to people who, for the most part, get up and go to work or school every day just like you and me. There is just something about this simple but true fact that resonates with everyone within the rodeo genre of sports and places the NFTR in a unique and

universally respected category of its own.

I think the other thing that makes the NFTR so respected is that it was built by the sport itself… and by that I mean, by team ropers. I am fortunate to have one of the few complete volume sets of every SuperLooper Magazine ever produced, and it’s pretty astonishing to see how far the event, and the sport itself has come in just twenty years. Considering payout of about $500,000 in 1992, to the five million expected this year, the NFTR has come a remarkably long way in a relatively short period of time.

Yes, the leadership of the USTRC and its past and ongoing vision of the future for the sport have been critical to its success, but the real credit goes to the ropers themselves. The truth is the success of the USTRC, and by way of the USTRC, the NFTR, has been predicated upon putting in place a framework that allowed ropers to be a part of something that they, themselves, build. What we see today, and what thousands of team ropers from all across the country will experience during the last week of October is evidence of that. It’s unique among the rodeo genre of sports, and it’s also the reason why ropers take such great pride and place such great value on winning one of its national titles.

The bottom line is that it makes all of us feel a little proud, because we all feel like in some small way we are responsible for what it has become. The fact that such a large and varied group of people… ropers… who are essentially private contractors, persevered through the many obstacles and differences over the years and make it work, is a pretty remarkable accomplishment. It hasn’t always been easy, but for those who are able take advantage of the opportunity and privilege to back their horse into the box in Oklahoma City the end of this month…there is no question it was worth it.

OCTOBER 2012

THE

ALL-AROUND

Whooping It Up in Sonoita owboys and cowgirls from across the Southwest gathered over the last of the summer holidays in the small town of Sonoita, Arizona for another rendition of one of the best rodeos of the year! This was the ninety-seventh year for the annual event and with all of the heritage and history of the event it stayed true to its moniker, “Best Little Rodeo in Arizona.”

Contestants and rodeo fans filled the Sonoita facility each day over the course of September 1-3 for the GCPRA Sanctioned event and had the chance to be entertained by daily wild horse races and wild cow milking that helped kick things off each day. Not only were the grown up versions of cowboys and cowgirls present, the rodeo had three full days of Jr. Rodeo events as well. This opened the door for rodeo families to head to one event and all stake their claim for part of the 2012 Labor Day celebration. In addition to the Open and Jr. Rodeo events, the weekend also hosted two days of team roping action on September 1-2, and a 4D barrel race on Friday, August 31.

The Sonoita Labor Day Rodeo was filled with lots of winning from some of the toughest competitors in the Southwest. Awards were abundant and claiming a piece of this rodeo’s history is something every winner can appreciate. Buckles were awarded all GCPRA rodeo event winners as well as the Reserve All-Around champion. The Jr. rodeo crowd enjoyed buckles to event winners each day and the AllAround champion of the Open rodeo went home with the crown jewel, a custom fully tooled trophy saddle.

TRC and Labor Day Goes Big

T

he Roping Company (TRC) hit the Linden Valley Arena in Show Low, Arizona for three days of great roping fun. The Labor Day weekend found lots of ropers packing the arena floor for a chance to win part of the cool prize line and great payout.

The weekend was mixed full of events for ropers who may not always have a chance to compete at other ropings. The weekend kicked off with a #6 roping on Saturday followed #11 Trailer Winner, Romeo Moreno by a #7 buckle event, a 38 saddle roping and a #9 40+ womens roping.

Sunday had a kind of different attitude as well with a pile of Apple Products up for grabs. Each roping throughout the day awarded an iPad to the winners. The day consisted of a #8, #9, #10 and a #11 ropings.

Sunday was the main feature with a #11 warm-up roping followed by the #11 Trailer roping. The 3-horse Gooseneck CM trailer was awarded to the high point winner of the day.

This made for lots of great roping action as ropers entered up to see who would drive off #11 iPad Winners, Armon Pearson and Jared Judd with the new trailer.

The long weekend proved to $1,910; 2. Jaydon Baugh / Thayer Williams, 34.02, $1,270; 3. Jeffery Tso / Greg Walker, be another success for TRC as they once 34.6, $980; 4.

Story and Photos Compliments of Jim Olson

T

here was rodeo. It started as a contest between cowboys to see who was the best roper and rider. Soon it evolved into ranches competing against each other to see who had the best cowboys, much like a ranch rodeo of today. Before long, organized events were taking place in towns like Prescott, Arizona which claims to have the world’s oldest rodeo (started in 1888) and Payson, Arizona which argues they have the world’s oldest continuous rodeo (started in 1884). Then you have Pecos, Texas which claims the right to the world’s first rodeo (1883) but history tells us that William F. Cody (aka Buffalo Bill) staged his first Wild West Show (which also had rodeo events) in 1882 at North Platte, Nebraska.

But wait! There is more. Santa Fe, New Mexico also claims the first rodeo based on a letter dated 1847 written by Captain Mayne Reid from Santa Fe to a friend in Ireland, “At this time of year, the cowmen have what is called the round-up, when the calves are branded and the fat beasts selected to be driven to a fair hundreds of miles away. This round-up is a great time for the cowhand, a donnybrook fair it is indeed. They contest with each other for the best roping and throwing, and there are horse races and whiskey and wines.

At night in clear moonlight, there is dancing on the streets.”

Many will argue exact historic dates of the sport, but none will doubt the birth of rodeo was a contest of the cowboy.

In the early 1900s, rodeos were largely unorganized and scattered. The events as we know them today were mostly acts mixed in with Wild West shows - which were more common at the time than a rodeo, as thought

THE

ALL-AROUND

In The Beginning...

of in today’s terms. As a matter of fact, rodeos and Wild West shows enjoyed a parallel existence in the early days and one was really not much different than the other - they even had a lot of the same stars and contestants.

Many towns held annual “rodeos” but these shows were more commonly known as cowboy contests, stampedes, frontier days celebrations and, of course, Wild West shows. The term rodeo was not widely used until organizations started to infiltrate the sport in 1929. While rodeo had become a way of life for a select few in its earliest days, there was no standard to the event schedule, rules, judging, etc…. You might have a steer roping sandwiched between an Indian relay race and a shooting exhibition.

Then they might go on with saddle broncs and steer wrestling followed by the “chicken pull” and trick roping. Its been said there were over a hundred different events or acts to choose from, including a unique event held each year in Chicago where mounted cowboys went to Lake Michigan, were floated out on a barge, and were then forced off, having to swim their horses several hundred yards back to shore! The first one back was the winner. Buffalo Bill Cody obviously had the most recognizable Wild West show, and his show was more act and less rodeo. But rodeos of the day were a lot more Wild West show than your typical rodeo today.

These shows were very entertaining and popular with the crowds. However, cowboys competing in these performances were not thought of as a modern independent cowboy athlete is today. The organizers thought cowboys should be happy with cowboy wages and payouts for winning events were reflective of this mindset. At the time, cowboy wages were about a dollar per day.

So if a cowboy could win (or was paid) that much, and sometimes even up to $100 for winning an event, he ought to be happy -

and most were. Many cowboys from back in those days have been quoted as saying that winning a hundred dollars or so at a rodeo was more money than they had ever seen at one time in their whole life and that is what got them hooked on the shows. There were problems with this system, however.

Cowboys still had to pay an entrance fee, much like today, and the amount of fees paid by the contestants were not reflected in the winning payout. Then there was the problem of each producer or town having their own ideas of how the show should be run and which events to include. There was little standard in judging the riding events and rules varied from place to place. Then there were always those few who worked the system to their advantage and sometimes winners were determined before the show even started! (Unofficially of course.)

Accusations of bribes and crooked judges ran high. The rodeo cowboy became disgusted with this situation over time. It took a while, but he finally realized he was the star of the show; folks paid to see him perform, and he was not getting a fair share.

There were thousands of dollars being made on some of the bigger shows from ticket sales and contestant entry fees, but only a few hundred would be paid back to the winners. This was fine for a few, but it was starvation for the overall lot. Just enough was being paid out to keep them coming back, with hopes it would be their turn to win the next show - kind of like dangling the proverbial carrot.

All of this changed however in 1936. That was the year professional rodeo was born.

Rodeo organization was actually started in the northern states in 1929 with the formation of the Rodeo Association of America (RAA). This association was made up of managers and producers and did not include the cowboy in decision making and therefore were often contentious and seldom recognized. Eventually it was merged with

World Series of Team Roping 10 plus 9 Equals Record Breaker!!

Early this year we entered into some lengthy debates internally among WSTR contractors on whether a #9 division would work with the WSTR philosophy.

Ultimately we decided that maybe a test was in order. We began in April holding #9 qualifiers for a #9 incentive in the #10 Roping.

We allocated one rotation (90 teams) to the #9 Incentive, fully expecting to get maybe 45. It occurred to us that we didn’t know our customers as well as we thought, as the #9 Incentive rolled past the 100 mark at the end of July.

Last year the smallest Finale roping we had was the #10 at $1,160,000. Our expectation is that this roping will not be any smaller than it was last year. By our calculations if the #9 incentive rotation passes the 110 mark, the payout of this roping will surpass the $1.5 Million NFR team roping, which has been the largest single event payout in the cowboy world.

There are approximately twelve more #9 qualifiers to be completed prior to the #9 shut down after labor day. As of August 16th, there are 106 paid teams in the #9!!

Breaking the record was not our goal, but it does now appear that the record of the richest single event in the cowboy world will now reside at South Point!

Mid-Year Steer Report All things considered the quality of cattle for the first half of the year looked exceptionally good, considering the pool.

Every serious roper realizes who has the big herds, who has the Mexicans, who has the longhorn crosses, etc, etc. As a result of the cattle shortage the same cattle owners are providing cattle to several different associations, (larger ropings). But obviously the management by the

contractors can make the same herd look completely different.

With cattle sporadically moving across the border, the largest percentage of cattle being used are natives, and that has changed the landscape a bunch in the last 12 months. The natives sort just a little different than the Mexicans. And more importantly for some of the large qualifiers it isn’t unusual to see three different herds thrown together, which makes the sorting even more difficult. We see a real appreciation for the contractors that are working hard to make whatever they have look good.

Officially for the record, the complaints that we are receiving on a weekly basis are pretty much the same. The complaints generally involve sort, but some just complain about the quality of cattle even when they are outstanding. Some ropers expect perfect cattle every time on every run, which is totally unrealistic.

The thing to keep in mind is that there aren’t many herds large enough to put multiple loads together and then sort down as we have in the past. Even if there are, cattle are so short contractors can’t NOT use all their steers. They have to produce these ropings with one load and sometimes two loads. There are cattle in all of these herds that are fleshier and run harder, but with this shortage of cattle most of these guys can’t afford to sort those runners out.

Which brings them to the balancing act, do they set the barrier for the majority of the herd and take a chance on getting the roper outrun on some strong ones,………….or do they set it for those strong ones and let them beat up the rest of the herd with basically no barrier.

Some are opting to set the barrier for the majority and if they get someone outrun, do a rerun. Some contractors are terrified by the reruns and don’t have confidence that their flaggers have the

ability to distinguish between the guy that let the steer out too far and was outrun, from a legitimate rerun. And to be honest, most contractors just don’t want to start down that road with the reruns on hard runners. We have one contractor that is sorting off the runners in the pre-ropings, giving them ACE and putting them back into the herd.

Obviously the barrier length, reruns and sort, flagger etc, are all at the discretion of the producer, and some are not as comfortable with their job as others. In a nutshell, we think the management style of the contractor in some cases can be more important than the cattle herd. Some of these guys can take an uneven herd and make it look good, and some that can take good ones and make them look bad. So accusations that someone is deliberately trying to get ropers outrun in the first round, is never the case, most probably just lack of management.

We appreciate your comments and we will continue to monitor and correct, but sooner or later everyone will realize there is a huge change underway in the roping industry. You are going to hear some horror stories from time to time. Those of us in this business full time are scrambling to get a grip on this new reality with these small and mixed herds of roping steers and figure out how to manage them. We realize that to keep things good for the ropers with these smaller herds we will probably have to have more intense management. There may be contractors that aren’t able to do that and we will cross the bridge when we get to it. In the meantime you can bet that not a day goes by that the other organizations aren’t worrying about cattle at their year end events, and/or Troy and I contemplating December! The only thing we can promise is that we will have the best available at that point in time.

Rope A Bright Future

T

here are ropings for profit, memorial events, scholarship ropings and even ropings that folks host to say they had a roping. However, every once in a while there is a roping that comes around for a great cause. Such is the case with the 1st Annual Rope for the Future event scheduled for the beginning of November. This event will be a fundraiser for the Calvery Chapel Academy in Belen, New Mexico. This school has opened up their doors for the past several years to offer children in Belen a place to receive a challenging Christian Education. This is your chance to help out, and receive what looks like will be a great roping in return.

The November 3-4, 2012 event will be hosted at the Horseman’s Arena in Belen, New Mexico. There will be four trophy saddles, six buckles and four trophies up for grabs. The buckles will be awarded to the Average winners of each roping.

These include a #15, #13, Open 1-header, #12 Slide, #6, #10 Handicap, #8 Handicap and a #9. The saddles will be given to the High Money and trophies will be given to the Reserve High Money winners of the #3 and under, #4, #5 and #6 and over of the weekend.

Saturday, November 3 will kick off with the #15 roping beginning at 8:30 a.m.

The #13 roping will follow. The excitement will kick into high gear even more as the Open 1-Header takes center stage. You can bet there will be some fast times in this roping. The day will close out with a #12 Slide, giving everyone in attendance another shot at filling their pockets with cash and a chance to claim one or more of the prizes to take home.

Sunday will begin with a church service at 8 a.m. The roping will begin at 9:30 with the #6 roping. The #10 handicap will keep things moving, followed by the #8 handicap roping. The event will come to a close after the #9 handicap plays out and all of the winnings and prizes are handed out.

This roping looks to be one of those events that ropers can really enjoy. The A fees are light, the event offers roping for every caliber of competitor, lots of great prizes on the line and the best part, it is for a great cause. Without a doubt this event will help out a great school that enjoys opening the doors for children to learn and grow. As a fundraiser, it is better than buying candy, or filling your house with useless things. This fundraiser will allow ropers a chance to give and in return get a chance to rope. You can’t beat that kind of deal.

THE

ALL-AROUND

Flocking to the Southwest

C

ooler weather is settling over most of the country. Shorter days are upon us, and that only means it is time for the state of Arizona to boom! Yep, another winter season is just around the corner and ropers are already beginning to flock to the sunny Southwestern state of Arizona for another rendition of the biggest concentration of ropers. Each year, ropers from everywhere head to Arizona for the winter. In return, these ropers get the chance to enjoy the sport to the fullest as producers from near and far claim dates, set schedules and open the door for a full assortment of events.

There are times when ropers in Arizona can enter up at an event every day of the week throughout the winter months. With this kind of roping action, you can bet there will be thousands, if not millions of dollars handed out to ropers from now through spring.

There are all types of events coming down the pipeline for ropers to enjoy – USTRC events, WSTR events, big entry

events, backyard jackpots and everything in between. If you swing a rope and can’t find an event that suits your needs, you are way too particular or not looking very hard, because there is something for every roper this time of year in Arizona.

The USTRC will host a number of Sanctioned events and a slew of affiliate events throughout the next few months in Arizona. These will include the new event “The Gold Buckle,” hosted by Ty Yost in November in Phoenix and the annual Lasso Del Sol in Scottsdale in December. There will also be the roping that was such a big hit last year, the Valley of the Sun Championships held in Casa Grande at the beginning of February, as well as the Colorado River Classic, held in Bullhead city in March.

The WSTR will have a number of events scheduled throughout the winter months as well. These will include events all across the valley from some of the best producers around. Although the WSTR Season Finale falls in December, splitting the winter season, ropers can no doubt find it easy to locate a WSTR qualifier or events that host WSTR events anytime throughout the winter in Arizona.

Arizona ropers can also count on ACTRA to be on hand throughout the winter months. Falling into the cycle of ropings during this time of year, ACTRA members can enjoy plenty of events and can count on the Arizona Chapter Spring Finals before they head back for the summer. The Finals will open the door for ropers to qualify for the 2013 ACTRA Finals next October in Reno, Nevada.

Several large events that are part of the collection of team roping events in Arizona will once again take shape.

These include the “Louie and the Duke,” that has become one of the states large events. Ropers always make it to Bishop’s Trailers annual team roping that has become a great event over the past few years, and of course there is the Lucky 777 roping that ropers from Arizona always make a trek north to each year.

These events kind of stand alone as some of the biggest, but are only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the large amount of team roping ropers have a

chance to attend throughout the next few months.

With October already in sight, the winter roping season has no official kick-off event. However, things get rolling throughout October and heat up November through April. One of the biggest and longest running events ropers have come to rely on is Dynamite Arena in Cave Creek, Arizona. Levi Schofield and the Dynamite Arena have put together a great season of events including their original Wednesday and Sunday events. These will kick off the first weekend of November and run every week throughout the winter season.

Ropers can also look forward to four big WSTR events this year. These will include one around New Years, two events in February and one in March. You can catch all of the details of Dynamite Arena at www.dynamitearena.com.

Another long running roping producer who ropers have always been inclined to visit is George Aros and the events he hosts throughout the year. Aros has weekday practices everyday at his arena in Pichaco, Arizona. These daily practices have been in exsistence for 17 years in Pichaco and have become a staple for ropers to attend throughout the year. In addition to the daily events, Aros takes aim at producing events in Casa Grande and Queen Creek. These events are always easy to find at www.arosroping.com. Aros also hosts one of the biggest ropings of the season, the Mike Cervi Pro Classic. This event continues to grow and Aros says he has added more roping to the event for this year.

Without a doubt, ropers who hit Arizona soil this time of year can always head to Dunn’s Arena, as well as other facilities throughout the state, for one of Ty Yost’s events and get involved with the National All-Amateurs Team Roping Tour. Yost gets things rolling in November and hosts all kinds of events for ropers to enjoy. You can bet on finding truck ropings, low entry ropings, and starting this year, a USTRC Sanctioned events branded by Yost.

Ropers have come to really enjoy Yost’s events and keep track of where they can attend them throughout the season at

Another producer who has over the past couple of years eased into the Arizona season is Kenny Zamora and Zamora Roping Productions. Years of experience and professional team roping productions, mostly in New Mexico, has led this production company to move westward for the winter months. Zamora plans to be in the Casa Grande area for another successful season. He will host the second year of the USTRC Sanctioned Valley of the Sun Championships, as well as several other USTRC affiliate and WSTR events.

Zamora also has plans on a larger Open roper event in the month of February this year. Ropers can find out more about Zamora Roping Productions at www.zamoraroping.com.

Annually, Double C Productions Chad and Cody Wilson have been producing some of the best events in the sunshine state. With three annual memorial events over the winter season, this year they are adding three truck ropings to their list, Aas well as a whole slew of jackpots they will be producing at the P&M Arena in Mesa, Arizona.

Always roper friendly, Double C has grown their business into one of the best in the state and have even begun spreading across the entire Southwest throughout the year. Ropers can keep up to date with all of the Double C Productions events at www.doublecropings.com or find them on Facebook.

There are two producers who cling to the summer months in Arizona but always have a few events that ropers can catch early in or towards the end of the Winter Season. Jack Fuller is an all-time roper favorite producer. He will host an event in October to catch the early arrivals of ropers, and then kick things back up in April for any stragglers and local ropers. Same thing goes for Jack Goodman and The Roping Company. He has all but wrapped things up for 2012, but will kick things off again in April. He has produced winter events in the past and is once again kicking the idea around for this year. If he does, you can keep an eye out for an ad or log onto www.theropingco.com to see what is on the horizon for The Roping Company.

There are many more local producers and stand alone events held throughout the winter months in Arizona. You can bet Shelly Productions will slip in with a few WSTR events ropers will not want to miss. Additionally, many other producers who help keep Arizona hopping with team ropings throughout the next four to five months will be scheduling jackpot and local events at arenas all across the state.

33

Ropers who are inclined to spend time in Arizona this year can count on plenty of action to be part of. There will be lots of money up for grabs, prizes of all kinds awarded and the best part, plenty of opportunities each week to entertain the vast number of team ropers. The state and all of the producers large and small welcome the influx of ropers and hope to offer them everything they have come to expect during this time of year.

NMRA – Finishing Up 2012

he 2012 New Mexico Rodeo season began in early spring. For some it may seem like yesterday and for others a distant past. In either case, you can bet every NMRA member is looking forward to the end of the season with aspirations to be named one of the best of this year’s New Mexico Rodeo Season.

The rodeo scene across the country is not what it was a decade or more ago.

The high cost of everything from fuel to groceries, as well as the cost of animal feed and what it takes to travel to rodeos has made an impact on smaller local associations. As one of these, the NMRA

has continued to withstand the long drought of competitors and continues to carry on the tradition of professional rodeo events. Although it may not be what it once was, the continued work of the NMRA committee members, as well as the many members, the NMRA still ranks as one of the best associations in the country.

As the season winds down, the NMRA is setting the stage for its year end finale – The NMRA Finals Rodeo.

Changes and last minute preparations will go from here until the first gate cracks at the Finals rodeo to ensure this

New Mexico Labor Day Blowout

N

ew Mexico rodeo talents and the NMRA once again met in two locations over the long Labor Day Weekend. The Socorro County Fair and Rodeo and the Prewitt Labor Day Rodeo were the focus for cowboys and cowgirls as they have been for many years. As sort of the last “Hoorah” for the summer rodeo run, these two events have become the rodeos that have seen some of the best rides, runs and races over the past many years and this year was not a let down. The events had lots of cash up for grabs, plenty of action and great fun for both contestants and spectators alike.

The Socorro rodeo was held August 31 through September 1 and many competitors took advantage of the event and some of the final payouts of the NMRA rodeo season. The Prewitt Rodeo was just as exciting and like years past, the Labor Day event was packed full of action. This event was held September 23 and closed the weekend in great rodeo style with lots of winning and tons of fun.

year’s event will once again be the crown jewel of the association. The event will be held in Abiquiu, New Mexico on October 19 - 20, 2012. You can find all of the events information on pages 52 and 53.

Cowboys and cowgirls who have high expectations of the season-ending event are those in perfect contention to reach the highest mark, season champions.

Each event seems to have a special story, with close races to watch till the end.

Those with strong leads in their events can already taste the championship and maybe even a few of those dark horse figures who have the chance to upset a leader and take the glory home.

In the bareback riding the race to the finish is in the hands of rookie Zach Nugent. As a first-year member of the NMRA he has a lead over young veteran of the sport, J.R. Chino. Although Zach has a comfortable lead in the standings, the finals always brings out the best and the bareback riding will be a great race to see who finishes on top.

Sticking to bucking horses, it seems the current saddle bronc standings leader, Robert Burbank has a chance to be named the 2012 NMRA champion. He has given himself a good lead going into the end of the season, however, tough cowboys, Chance Barnes and Christian Stremler, are neck and neck in second place and either one could slip in for a victory.

Justin Howlett has become one of the best bull riders in the Southwest, claiming payouts at rodeos and bull riding events all across the Southwest.

His bull riding talents have landed him in the first place position of the current standings. As the NMRA Finals edges closer, his lead could earn him the championship. Gary Thorne could be the only thorn in Howlett’s side as he sits within striking distance to overtake the lead and claim the championship for himself.

The ranch bronc riding has Cody LeSurur in the lead heading towards the Finals. He has accumulated almost $1,400 in cash throughout the season and with a few more broncs to top off, he could be named the 2012 NMRA Champion.

On to the roping events, the races are tightening up and the excitement of the action inside the NMRA is heating up. Christian Sanchez has a good sized lead in the calf roping heading towards the final event of the season. However, Wacey Walraven and maybe even Seth Hall have a chance to spoil the championship for Sanchez. We will have to watch to see how things shake out at the Finals.

It is even a closer race in the Incentive calf roping. Less than $300 separate Pecos Peralta who is leading the event and Kyle Roberts. Just behind them and not too far out of the running is Robert Martinez. This one is for sure way too close to call and you can bet each of these cowboys will be gunning for the championship at the Finals event.

The race is just as close in the breakaway roping. However, when it usually takes less than a millisecond to separate winners at rodeos, the ladies behind these ropes are pretty cool under pressure. This though will help make the tight race between April Pablo, who is number one right now, and Shelby Montano, who is sitting in second, exciting until the last loop is thrown.

The Open team roping has a mix of excitement. On the headers side of things, Kyle Roberts has all but claimed the championship. He has a commanding lead which will be hard to overtake by anyone else in the field of headers.

On the other end, two heelers are neck and neck and will be fighting it out, swing for swing until the last gate is closed on the season. Diego Castillo is currently number one in the standings, however, Pedro Maestas is nipping at his heels. Both of these cowboys are veterans of the sport and the fight to the finish will be exciting to watch.

The incentive team roping has lots of excitement building as well. In the headers corner, three cowboys have made it a tight race. Leo Martinez, Andreas Sanchez and Sterling Cowdrey are in the mix for the championship. On the heeler side, two cowboys, Tim Lamb and Frank Padilla have a battle brewing.

47

Just over $600 separate the two as the season winds down.

Maybe the tightest race lies in the steer wrestling event. A mere $75 comes between Wyatt Lindsay and Mike Murphy. Just behind them, Kyle Francis is only a few hundred dollars away as well. With these three tough cowboys sliding and laying them down at the Finals, the action will be electrifying to see who comes out on top.

The biggest lead comes from the open barrel racing where Caren Lamb has what looks like another NMRA championship wrapped up. Lamb has grown her lead to over $3,100 and may coast right into the 2012 NMRA state championship.

Closing out the events, Kristi Johnson looks to VSA have the advantage IN HOUSE PROOF over Carrie Richardson in the incentive barrel racing. But with a few remaining cloverleaf patterns to run before the season ends, there is room for Richardson, or maybe even Shiann Irwin to change things up.

THE

Great Weekend for Rodeo Talents

T

he Labor Day Weekend was loaded full of events for rodeo contestants.

As the summer temperatures fade into the past, the last long weekend has always been the final blast for many rodeo competitors and the turning point for those looking ahead at the fall rodeo events. Williams, Arizona and the Williams Labor Day Rodeo opened up the arena floor for contestants to fill their desires to compete and entertain themselves. In addition, the small town community hauled in to watch the action and enjoy the sport of rodeo as it has for many years.

The three day event, September 1-3, 2012, was filled with great rodeo feats and challenges. The Open rodeo was slated for the first and second day of the weekend and a WPRA Open Women’s rodeo played out on the third day. Each day offered contestants a chance to load up big payouts filled with lots of added money, making the long weekend well worth it for many who topped their event.

Winning the rough and tough event of bareback riding was Tony Buckman who scored 77-points and won $800 in cash.

Cooper Dewitt was the winner of the classic

saddle bronc riding event. DeWitt scored 78-points on the back of one of Slash M Rodeo Company’s broncs to win $760 in cash. In the bull riding, Gordon Smith was the rider with the best score. His 81-point ride earned him $1,410 in cash. Moving to the timed event side of the arena, Teri James roped a breakaway calf in 3.1 seconds to earn the number one position and walk away with $700. The open team roping was intense. The team of Skeeter Hill and Shawn Grant topped the competition with a quick run of 6.8 seconds to share $1,084 in cash. The incentive team roping earned the winning team of Payson Hedlund and Steve Romo $620 after roping their steer in 13seconds flat.

In the barrel racing, it was all Marissa Simpson. She smoked the clover-leaf pattern in 17.64 seconds to walk away with the first place check of $823.

Plenty of other winners made their way to the pay window throughout the weekend. The action was hot from start to finish and the long weekend wrapped up the summer rodeo run of 2012 in great style. You can bet the town of Williams and the great people of the northwest Arizona community will continue to

Big Time at The Bean Day!

W

agon Mound, New Mexico celebrated its “Bean Days” over the Labor Day weekend. This year brought an exciting new chapter to Wagon Mound Bean Days as the annual rodeo took its actioned-packed event to a new location.

The Bean Day Association was unable to renew the lease for the location where the rodeo has been held for over 60 years. So volunteers worked tirelessly to demolish the old grandstand and dismantle and move the arena to a 41-acre property acquired a few years ago by the Village of Wagon Mound and the Wagon Mound Bean Day Association, through a state grant.

The move set another historical mark on this event that anyone who has ever swung a rope, dogged a steer, circled a barrel or climbed over the bucking chutes for a chance to match skills for eight ticks of the clock has probably attended in the past. History tells that this event began in

1909 when Higinio Gonzales and crew cooked beans in wash boilers for the Mora County Farmers Harvest Jubilee. Since that humble beginning, the local a ranching and farming community grew the event to what it has become today. Known as “Bean Days,” the small northern town comes alive with lots of action not only in the rodeo arena, but throughout the town.

Ten different free musical performances in the park, three days of rodeo, a mud bog race, a big parade, dances, kids games, and the traditional free Beans & Barbecue Lunch that serves more than 1,500 people annually is what the celebration includes.

The action started Friday night, August 31 with the traditional “firehouse bean cleaning party,” a hamburger and hot dog fundraiser dinner, and a free street dance featuring Jenna. The rodeo is always a hot commodity during the Bean Days celebration. This year’s event was hosted

on Saturday through Monday and there was lots of action, loads of fun, big winning and great times.

This year’s rodeo was once again produced by the Wiseman Rodeo Company and incorporated the “Bad Bull Seires” Finals. The action at the rodeo included novice and open bull riding, cowboy bronc riding, chute dogging, calf roping, jr. steer riding, ribbon roping, sheep panty race, open and novice barrel racing, open team roping, draw pot team roping, kids sheep riding and a rescue race. With this line-up of events, each day was filled with lots of fun and tons of great rodeo action. In the end, Average winners in every event earned championship “Bean Day” trophy buckles.

In addition to the rodeo, the long weekend also included plenty of food vendors, as well as free food throughout the town of Wagon Mound. There were softball tournaments, amateur horseshoe tournaments, plenty of live music and nightly dances, the Mud Bog on Sunday and the annual Bean Day parade through downtown Wagon Mound.

o you know the difference between a good producer and a bad one? Yeah, I’m sure there are a lot of answers you can come up with, but in my opinion, there are a few things that make some producers stand out. One is being prepared. If you are going to produce an event, you have got to be prepared. Anyone can gather a few steers, strap on some horn wraps, grab a notebook and host a team roping, but it takes much more to produce a roping that will make people want to come back.

I remember talking to one of the best producers I think the sport of team roping ever had. He was telling me about things he did to make his events the best – and there were a lot of them. This guy was particular about the little things. Many of the things he did the roper never thinks about or sees, but these things make their experience at the event a good one. It is hard enough to make ropers happy when on the norm 80% of them are losers when the day is done. In this guy's case though, they all seemed to be happy, win or lose, when they loaded up to go home. This particular producer understood that he could keep ropers returning week after week if they had nothing to complain about.

Another thing that makes a good producer is standing their ground and knowing that they cannot please every guy or gal that enters up.

Even when everything is done correctly, there is still going to be that one person who wants to bicker with you about being treated unfairly. I witnessed another producer whose name was very well known in the team roping community do something one day that made me realize how strong a personality it takes to be successful. A roper came up mad because he missed his call and was turned out. He began raising hell with the producer. After trying to let the roper know he was the one at fault and the hundred of other ropers standing around were ready when it was their turn, the roper was still going at him. In a split second the producer had the roper off his horse and on his back kicking in the dust.

The producer had enough and kicked the guy out of the roping.

This always stuck in my mind and made an impact on me. You must take a stand at some point. When you try to please too much, people will continue to run over you. Successful producers, and people for that matter know when enough is enough and when to make a stand and fight for what they believe is right.

Until next time – Dirt, keep it under your feet!

NM-1 We had a great start to our fall races with a super double race weekend. Haley Wolfe cleaned house on her good horse Mia, winning nearly $1,100 over the weekend. We had a total of 139 open entries, 40 youth and 20 senior entries.

The ground was great and everything ran smoothly with the help of plenty of volunteers.

Our directors decided to award a total of 10 saddles for our district finals and we are on target to get close to another $15,000 added money. Our best fund raising is putting on barrel races!

However a big thanks goes to the Doyle’s who helped us raise over $500 with their 1/2 of beef raffle. Now Christine Lewis and Molly Cheese are working on our double weekend cancer race in October and we have eight buckles donated.

Blanchard Sweeps Her Way to Justin Boots Playoffs Title

by Jolee Lautaret – Courtesy of WPRA From the outside looking in, it looked like Sydni Blanchard had a ton of pressure on her shoulders entering the Justin Boots Playoffs in Puyallup, Washington. The first of two tournamentstyle finale events that close out the Wrangler Million Dollar Tour and the ProRodeo regular season, Puyallup offers a lucrative purse, a chance for bubble cowgirls to get a jump on the final month of the season.

But Blanchard, who has become accustomed to the drama after finishing 15 and 16 in the last two seasons, actually felt no pressure at all despite entering the rodeo ranked 21st, nearly $9,000 behind the cut for the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo.

“I had added it up and I knew I needed to dominate from here on out to

make the Finals,” says the New Mexico cowgirl who made her first Wrangler NFR back in 2010. “I just prayed about it and went from there.”

“I treated it as practice runs, seasoning my mare for next year,” she says. “Obviously, no one plans on winning every round at any rodeo.”

But that’s just exactly what the cowgirl did during three rounds in Main Grandstand Arena. Running in the first group on Friday, Blanchard set the bar high with a 14.98 second run in the opening round and a 15.01 during the second. She would sweep both rounds and average race, earning the maximum $4,000 for the long go’s. More importantly, she qualified for the finals on Sunday, September 9, giving her the chance to double her money.

“It was a huge confidence boost [winning the opening rounds] but my 0CT 12 BUILT BY VSA game plan with this mare is just to get through the alleyway. After that, I don’t think too much about the pattern,” she laughs. Blanchard had been riding her buckskin gelding French Tigger for much of the season but the gelding began

bucking during her runs and it was determined that he was sore and needed a rest.

“He did so good this year, he really accomplished a lot,” says Blanchard, noting that she had felt a bit uneasy about making the stretch run without him. But going to her back-up horse is working out just fine.

“Pure Victory Dash is an eight year old mare that I have had about four years,” Blanchard says. “I call her Twisted Sister because she can be crazy!”

Blanchard has been seasoning the mare slowly to the rodeos, just breaking her out into the outdoor arenas last month. Of course, the smaller confines in Puyallup suited her as well.

Running in the final go round against three time WPRA World Champ Sherry Cervi, multiple Wrangler NFR qualifier Brenda Mays and the red hot Kaley Bass, IN HOUSE PROOF CRX’D Blanchard knew she needed to lay down a good run.

MONTH-SEP 2012 “It was great! I was thinking, even second pays good,” laughed Blanchard of N Despite nearly laying the tough round. the second barrel over for a penalty, she

and Twisted Sister pulled off another win, posting the rodeo’s fastest run at 14.88 seconds. Amazingly, it was just one one-hundredth better than Cervi and Bass.

“I’m so proud of her,” says Blanchard.

“She is awesome, super fun to ride.”

Blanchard tacked another $4,000 onto her season standings, bringing her perilously close to the top 15. She will tackle the indoor run in September and hope for a great month to put her into second Wrangler NFR. She had high praise for the conditions in Puyallup, known in years past to be less than ideal.

“The ground was phenomenal. I wasn’t going to enter but felt I had to because of the position I was in [in the standings]. A lot of girls don’t enter because of the ground but it was great.

They hand raked before every girl and really tried hard,” Blanchard says.

Six WPRA barrel racers won money BUILT BY-P.U W/CHNGS DP IN HOUSE PROOF at the Justin Boots Playoffs: Blanchard, $8,000; Bass, $4,500; Cervi, $4,000; Mays, $2,500 each; Liz Combs and Christy Davidson, $500 each.

The Magic Hammer

I

am not one of those purists who pencils in his life and ever since believe that the only two tools you hearing that my goal has been to need in your toolbox are WD40 and acquire 10,000 tools. duct tape. Although I certainly do I think I’m almost there. My wife appreciate the value of those two, WD 40 says I already have the biggest hammer to loosen anything that is stuck and duct collection in the world and she’s tape to tighten anything that’s loose. It’s counting on me selling my assortment of just that I know there are many times a ball peins and claws VSA IN HOUSE PROOF CRX’Dto provide for our special tool is required to get the job comfortable retirement. done and it’s my quest in life to have one I have everything from blacksmithing of each of them. A couple years ago I tools to jewelry making tools. Many are was impressed to read about a man who as common as a broken screwdriver, had acquired over 10,000 pens and while others are as rare as Feng shue in a shop. I have the tools to straighten your fender or bind your book. I took up leather work years ago just because it requires lots of different tools. I have everything from three foredoms (a dremel on steroids) to a “sax,” which is a gruesome looking weapon that is used to put slate on roofs. I’ve never done that but if my home ever gets invaded I’ll break out my sax and the crooks will run for their lives.

My latest big purchase is an engraving machine that’s at least 50 years old. Some engraver probably used to put names on trophies, buckles, bowls and Cross pens. I’m having a ball with it and have made name tags for my wife in 30 different colors and typefaces. I’m sure they’ll come in handy when we’re both old and senile and can’t remember each other’s name.

P. O. Box 1368 My most glorious days are when a Crownpoint, NM 87313 friend drops by and I can try to fix whatever it is they brought with them because I happen to be the only person in three counties with the right tools to fix it. Not to brag, but I’ve fixed everything from a seized clock to an oil painting with a big hole in it. I’ve even fixed things I can’t pronounce, like a sphygmomanometer (a blood pressure

machine). In the rare case I can’t fix something I just use it as an excuse to buy even more specialty tools. Guys, when I die and my wife sells all my stuff in a yard sale, believe me, you won’t want to miss it.

My neighbor Fred is a tool junkie, too, and he’s always coming over to the house with some weird looking tool he bought at a yard sale. He’ll say, “I bet you don’t have one of these.”

Then I’ll pull open a drawer in one of my three rolling tool chests and show him 18 different versions of the tool he’s holding.

“What is it?” asks Fred. “What does it do?”

“I have no idea,” I’ll say, “but if I ever do need one I have one in every size.”

Fred keeps everything in a state of disrepair so that we can use one of my rare tools to fix it. Last month his truck wouldn’t start and he thought I was a genius because I got it started for him.

A month later his truck broke down in town and instead of calling me, he called Smitty, the local mechanic. It hurt my feelings that Fred didn’t call me first but he swears that Smitty retrieved a rusty, nondescript hammer from his truck, tapped on the truck’s starter one time and the truck started right up.

“I’ll give you $100 for that hammer!” said Fred immediately.

Word spread about that magic hammer like a Forest Service control burn, and it gave me an idea on how to make the wife happy by getting rid of part of my hammer collection. Fred and I have now sold over 100 Original Magic Hammers and hope to sell thousands more when our informercials start running on TV. wwwLeePittsbooks.com
