USTRC Southwest Regional Finals

Open - Nelson R. Linares (Plant City, FL) / Cole Bigbee (Tuscumbia, AL), 39.41 on 5, $5,000 Story and pictures courtesy of SuperLooper Magazine

he Southwest Regional Finals in Albuquerque, New Mexico kicked into gear August 19, 2010. The event was four days of action packed team roping and welcomed ropers from across the country. Expo New Mexico is the perfect home for the event and provided a perfect climate for team roping. The Open division was first on the agenda. Seth Hall and Bobby Baize qualified to the short round in the number one position and captured their last steer, giving them first place in the Average. “I woke up this morning with this win on my mind,” said Hall. “It is awesome to win that kind of money. It came at a really good time and will keep me on the road.” Baize actually won this roping last year as well with Colorado header Calvin Brevik.

“I have been coming to this roping my whole life and to win it two years in a row is awesome,” said Baize. “I just wanted to catch the last steer and fortunately we did and it worked out great.” The win gave them $5,000, plus trophy Gist bits and twenty points each for the US Open Tour. Second place in the Average was the team of Gabriel SantaMaria and Cody Pearson who also earned first place in the Incentive Average. Third place in the Average was Brandon Gonzales and Pedro Maestas. The #15 Preliminary was a great roping. Horse racing jockey Casey Lambert teamed up with Brandon Gonzales and they roped well qualifying to the short round in the number two position. The team made a run of 8.33 seconds on their final steer bringing their average total to 30.57 seconds on four steers. The high team back of Paul Gutierrez and Gralyn Elkins had to be 9.97 on their final steer to win the roping. They ended up catching a leg and brought their four steer average time to 32.34 seconds, securing second place in the Average. Lambert and Gonzales won $2,644, trophy Gist bits and a USTRC National and Regional Shoot-Out worth $8,000 in USTRC Flex Earnings. Third place in the Average was the team of Roy Montoya and Bode Baize and fourth was Jackie Gillispie and Kyle Pratz. The #15 Shoot-Out was the final roping

of the day. Roy Montoya and Bode Baize were the second call back to the short round. They put the pressure on the high team by catching their final steer in 6.24 seconds and bringing their total of five steers to 37.76 seconds. Gabriel SantaMaria and Aaron Tsinigine were the high back and had to be 6.46 seconds to win the roping. They encountered some bad luck and received a no time. “We kind of had to go for it and I knew if I could just catch, Bode would make up the rest,” said Montoya. The win paid Montoya and Baize $5,404, trophy Martin saddles and a USTRC National Shoot-Out worth $6,000 in USTRC Flex Earnings. “I am excited about the win and the money,” said Baize. “It will let me keep entering.” Second in the Average went to Kory Bramwell and Cole Jackson, while Bramwell and Calvin Brevik secured third place. The second day of team roping at the Southwest Regional Finals began in fine form. The team of Chris Francis and Cade Passig were the superstars of the #13 Preliminary. They caught their short round steer in 8.90 and ended up with a time of 34.89 on four steers. That time was good enough to earn them first place in the

Competitorial “So here it is … and what many consider the closing of the season for rodeo athletes and team ropers. It’s been a rough one, with the state of the economy, but amazingly enough, somehow people keep finding a way to keep loading up and heading down the road to another event… ..” “Rodeo has particularly taken a big hit. The impact of a suffering economy has been felt on every level. From the PRCA , where both spectator attendance and participation levels have dipped considerably, to junior rodeo which is all but evaporating in many parts of the country.” “A s this month’s issue heads to the press, I just laid my hands on some information about this year’s USTRC finals. With the economy in the tank, admittedly, my expectations were not high… .” “Well, In case you haven’t heard, there was a pretty big team roping last month in Oklahoma City… over $4million big… and despite a dismal economy, it was a great one… The sheer magnitude of the event places it at the top of the list with regard to team roping… ”

“So, as 2009 winds to a close… the economy could have been better… but then… I guess it could have been worse. I received an email from a friend a couple days ago that pretty much summed it up. If you have food to eat, a roof over your head and clothes on your back, you are richer than 80% of the people in world… .so things are pretty good. “Now you don’t have to be a Nobel Prize winning economist to come to the realization that… It’s the economy, stupid...” “I think it’s probably a tough sell to most ropers who are already strapped by the current economic conditions and don’t want to have to buy an additional membership… .. “Finally it seems the rodeo season is finally here… despite a stagnant economy… ”

I grabbed the above quotes from “Competitorials” written over the past year. You can see, the economy has been the driving topic this year, and for good reason. As goes the economy, so go the disciplines of rodeo, team roping and barrel racing.

USTRC Southwest Regional Finals Average. The team won $3,516 plus trophy Martin saddles and a USTRC National and Regional Shoot-Out worth $8,000 in USTRC Flex Earnings. Second place in the Average was Dennis Cook and Nate Mortenson while third place went to the team of Bobby Marsh and Kyle Roundy. The #13 Shoot-Out provided an exciting finish. It came down to the wire with Cody Mirabal and Reno Eddy in the drivers seat, but when the dust settled the team of Joe Gallegos and John Salvo emerged as the winners. “I knew we just needed to catch another steer and see how it worked out,” said Gallegos. “We drew good and made a run.” They caught five steers in 42.54 seconds. The win earned them $10,000, trophy

Martin saddles, plus a USTRC National Shoot-Out worth $6,000 in USTRC Flex Earnings. “My partner did a great job catching the last steer. He roped good all day and made my job easy,” said Salvo. “I am so excited about the win and excited about the saddle. I give all of them to my mom. It was just a great roping.” Second place in the Average was the team of James Dowley and Cooper Wimberly. The third place finishers were Katie Leibold and Kyle Pratz. The Gold Plus Division welcomed ropers from all over. The team of Joe Gallegos and Wayne Baize claimed first place in the Incentive Average. They earned $2,286, trophy Gist buckles and a

Let’s face it, for most of us who take part in these endeavors, it’s a hobby, and like most hobbies, our level of participation is based on “disposable funds”….and I don’t know of one person who hasn’t seen their “disposable funds” take a hit over the past two years or so. “What are you going to do about it?” During this time of the year, I help coach a youth football team. We’ve had some tough losses and there is a lot of frustration and disappointment among both players and coaches. I don’t have a lot of sympathy towards either group, I just ask the players, “What are you going to do about it?”…and to the other coaches, “What are we going to do about it?” I’ve found that it’s a question no one likes to answer, and the reason for that is really the cause of the predicament in the first place. It’s one thing to say you want to win, it’s another to do the things required to make that happen. Everyone wants to win but sacrificing personal comfort to get it done varies greatly from one kid to another. . . and one coach to another. It seems “saying” you want to win comes easy, and it’s generally accepted that in order to obtain that goal, a certain amount of sacrifice is required. The problem is that it seems everyone is exceedingly careful not to sacrifice more than anyone else. I think this is very similar to what everyone in the country is facing right now. Everyone wants things to change. Government spending is clearly out of control, the folks we’ve all elected to

USTRC National Shoot-Out. “This is my first USTRC buckle. I am so proud of it, I think I will just put it on right now,” said Baize. The Utah team of Bradee Hughes and Ramzi Hughes ended up first place in the main Average. “We have broken down in Albuquerque a few times on the way to the USTRC Finals and so we decided to come down and see if we could get some of our money back,” said Bradee Hughes. They were 36.76 seconds on four steers and earned $4,396, trophy leather brief cases and a Gold Plus National Shoot-Out worth $6,000 in USTRC Flex Earnings. Second place in the Average went to the high team back of Andrew Jeffers and Brian Potter, Third place was Doug Chandler and continued on page 4

represent us, offer little representation, and so we sit, frustrated and disappointed, all clamoring for things to be different. Similar to the 10-year-olds on my football team, and its coaching staff, it’s easy for all of us, as citizens, to find fault in a system that is not meeting our expectations. “There are too many entitlements…There is too much regulation…There is too much Government . . . blah, blah, blah…” It’s easy to point fingers and find fault, but the key questions still need to be answered… and until they are, we can expect nothing to be different. It all starts with all of us sacrificing… and I don’t mean by paying more taxes. If we want things to be different, we are ALL going to have to do without some of things that we take for granted. The crutch known as “Big Brother” is about to crumple under our weight, as it was never intended to carry the load that’s been placed upon it. And that leads us back to the beginning… How much are YOU willing to sacrifice, and what are YOU going to do about it?

USTRC Southwest Regional Finals Randy Sanchez and Armon Pearson and Dennis Lines were the champions of the century bonus. The #12 Preliminary was exciting all the way to the end. Randall and Casper Billy were the high team back and put together a run of 6.95 seconds, bringing their total to 32.86 seconds on four steers. That gave them first place in the Average and earned them $5,290, trophy Martin saddles and $8,000 in USTRC Flex Earnings. Second place in the roping was the Arizona team of Dean Drosos and Joseph Kimball. They were 33.92 seconds on four steers and took home $3,968, trophy Gist buckles and $8,000 in USTRC Flex Earnings. Third place was the team of Lance Crist and Doug Schmidt. The #12 Shoot-Out was the final roping of the day. Doug Chandler and Joe Hughes were the high team back coming into the short round and they roped their final steer in 7.63 seconds and totaled up with 33.30 seconds on four steers. That was good enough for first place. “My horse was acting up a little in the box and I was pretty nervous,” said Chandler. “I was just focusing on catching the last steer and fortunately it worked out.” The win gave them $10,000, trophy Martin saddles and a USTRC National ShootOut worth $6,000 in USTRC Flex Earnings. “I am just glad it finally worked out,” said Hughes. “I was a little nervous and just wanted to catch the last steer. I was so happy it worked out. I am going to ride this saddle. It is pretty nice.” Second place was the team of Donnie Helmer and Frank Padilla. They walked away with a cool $5,930 in cash, plus a USTRC National Shoot-Out worth $6,000 in USTRC Flex Earnings. Third place went to Ethan McDowell and Chase Johnson. The third day of team roping action at the Southwest Regional Finals began in fine fashion. The #11 Preliminary set the stage for a great day of team roping. The team of Kodi Armitage and Chris Francis came from the high call back position and turned in a time of 33.59 seconds on four steers to win the Average. The win paid them $5,748, trophy Martin saddles, and USTRC Flex Earnings worth $8,000. Second in the Average was the team of G.R. Carter and Gary Hooper with a time of 33.88 seconds on four steers. They won $3,832, trophy Gist buckles and $8,000 in USTRC Flex Earnings. Third place went to Joe Gallegos and Jim Richards while fourth was Tina Godfrey and Reno Eddy. The #11 Shoot-Out was a flipping good time. The team of G.R. Carter from Oklahoma and Chance Gomez from Ruidoso, New Mexico took the roping by storm. They roped four steers in 33.64 seconds and ended up first place in the Average. The win paid them $10,000, trophy Martin saddles and a USTRC National Shoot-Out worth $6,000 in USTRC Flex Earnings. “I am really excited and I was just so glad I caught the steer,” said Gomez. “I wanted them to play the race horse song again. I am so proud of this saddle and I am going to ride it.” Right after they made their winning run, Carter parked his horse in the arena and did a back flip off of him. Carter is known throughout the racing world for his “backflip” dismounts. After winning a stakes race, he often uses his gymnastics background to celebrate by performing a back-flip off of the horse from the saddle, and the tradition

carries over to the team roping world. “I wanted to get in there and call for the steer before the announcer bragged on me too much,” said Carter. “As I grew up my heroes were always cowboys and I found out a way to make a living riding horses, but roping and rodeo are my true love.” On June 1, 2008, he became the all-time leading jockey in money earned in American Quarter Horse racing history surpassing the previous record of $41,405,207 in mount earnings. He has continued to add to the record since topping the $50 million mark. Second place in the Average went to the team of Lydia Ulibarri and Chris Francis.

The final day of team roping welcomed a lot of new faces to Expo New Mexico in Albuquerque for the Southwest Regional Finals. The #9 Preliminary was first on the agenda and what a roping it was. The team of Scott Norman and Jace Davis came from the sixth call back position and roped their final steer in 9.72 seconds to bring their four steer total to 41.92 seconds.

saddles and a USTRC Shoot-Out worth $6,000 in USTRC Flex Earnings. “I was pretty nervous and just wanted to catch two feet,” said Gonzales. “I am so happy it worked out.

USTRC Pine Country Classic Story Courtesy of SuperLooper Magazine

he Pine County Classic is a great Labor Day team roping event and one that everyone enjoys. The weather is beautiful, the team roping action is great and the fellowship among ropers, friends and family is even better. The event is held at the Fort Tuthill County Fairgrounds in Flagstaff, Arizona and ropers come from all over to enjoy all the amenities. This year the event kicked off on Saturday, September 4 and ran through Monday. Team ropers from all over the region came to try their hand at their favorite sport. Jace Mitchell really loaded up at the Pine Country Classic. The 17-year-old team roper from St. George, Utah was certainly glad he made the trip to the Pine Country Classic. Mitchell won $5,954, a trophy Martin saddle and $4,000 in USTRC Flex Earnings. It was a great weekend for him. Mitchell partnered with Dusty Pulsipher to place second in the #12 division. The team took home $3,378 and a Regional Shoot-Out worth $2,000 in USTRC Flex Earnings for catching four steers in 37.49 seconds. In the #11 division Mitchell partnered with Austin Carter to take first place in the Average. They won $8,530, trophy Martin saddles and a National Shoot-Out. They roped four steers in 33.29 seconds to accomplish the feat. Another team roper who did well was Krystyne Juan from Topawa, Arizona. Juan and her partners won $10,114, two trophy Martin saddles, two trophy Gist buckles and $12,000 in USTRC Flex Earnings. Juan teamed up with Shayne Thomas to win the Average of the #10 division. They won $7,776, trophy Martin saddles and a National Shoot-Out worth $6,000 in USTRC Flex Earnings. In the #8 Pick/Draw Juan and Brye Hendricks won second in the overall fast time with a time of 7.99 seconds. They also place third place in the Average. They ended up winning $2,338, trophy Gist buckles and a National Shoot-Out worth $6,000 in USTRC Flex Earnings. The Pine Country Classic welcomed ropers from all over to compete. It was a great holiday weekend for some camping, roping and time spent with family and friends. If you missed out on the Labor Day team roping action in Flagstaff, Arizona you will want to mark you calendars for next year, because it is one USTRC team roping you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to miss.

he CINCH CBR Tour presented by Mahindra Tractors turned its attention

to Window Rock, Arizona, for the Navajo Nation CBR Challenge. This stop has become a mainstay on the tour through the years, and was another special event in the Southwest. The event is special because Navajo Parks and Recreation once again be sponsored three Navajo riders. The three riders were Tustin Daye, Justin Silversmith, and Jeffery Roanhorse. Spud Jones, another Navajo bull rider, won this event in 2007. The contractors included Brad Vogele, Danny Reagan, Owen Washburn, etc. The bulls and bull riders put on a great show. The record crowd of somewhere near 12,000 fans was treated to five 90-point

rides and a lot of Championship Round excitement. In the end, Kenny Westrope rode both of his bulls for 90 points or better and won his second event in eight days. The Mississippi bull rider rode Kickeye for 90 points in the long round, and that put him third going into the Championship Round. He picked Owen Washburn’s bull Daddy’s Boy, and the two combined for 92.5 big points! The 182.5 points on two bulls was more than enough to get Westrope the win, and it will move him very close to the top 10 in the CBR season standings. The victory moved him all the way up to 11th in the season standings. The top-five CINCH CBR Tour riders didn’t make many qualified rides, although Luke Kelly did ride his long round bull, keeping his lead in the season standings by about $10,000. The real damage was done by riders who are just inside the top 10. Riggin Phillips, Wrangler Dunda, and Jarrod Craig were all perfect and finished in the top six.

Cooper Kanngiesser, who has been struggling a little lately, finished second with 177 points. He was 84 points in the long round, but he electrified the crowd with a 93-point ride on Luca Brazzi in the Championship Round. The ride was one of five 90-point rides on the night. Chon Miranda, a New Mexico native, finished third with 176 points. He was 86.5 points in the long round, and he combined that with 89.5 points in the Championship Round. Riggin Phillips and Jarrod Craig tied for fourth with 175 points. They were both just inside the top 10 in the CBR standings going into the Window Rock event, and their finish will keep them moving in the right direction. Phillips was 86.5 points on Wonder Boy in the long round, and he backed that up with an 88.5-point ride on Crazy Train in the Championship Round. Craig was 89 points on Beer Thirty in the long round which was good enough for fourth, but he was only 86 points on Total Package in the Championship Round.

Skinny Kenny Does it Again A week and a half prior to the Navajo Nation CBR Challenge in, Kenny Westrope was an afterthought as far as the 2010 CBR season was concerned. Fast forward to the final tally of the Window Rock, AZ event and he is a two-time winner this season. On top of that, he has moved all the way to 11th in the season standings, and he has a legitimate shot at contending for this year’s World Title. It isn’t like he is barely getting the job done either. Westrope has four qualified rides during his hot streak, three of which were 90 points or better including his 92.5-point ride on Daddy’s Boy in Window Rock. With his second win less than a week, Westrope became just the second rider to CRX’D win multiple CBR events in 2010. Bull riding is always difficult to predict, so it’s tough to say whether or not he will continue his hot streak throughout the last month of the season. Some may have wondered if the Mississippi bull rider would be able to back up the big victory in Huron last week, and he answered that very quickly. This guy is going to be tough to buck off the remainder of the 2010 season.

Luca Brazzi is quickly Making a Name For Himself It is always enjoyable to talk about the bulls, and one that is quickly making a name for himself is Brad Vogele’s Luca Brazzi. He was out three times up north last week, and he was unridden with an average bull score of 45.33 points. He has quickly moved from the long round to the Championship Round, and it looks like he may be there for awhile. Cooper Kanngiesser picked him in Arizona and rode him for 93 points! Not only does this bull keep getting better every time out, he is one the riders can be huge points on. Congratulations are in order for Brad Vogele on hauling another really nice bull. Another bull who has picked up some steam lately is Danny Reagan’s Hell Ya. He was marked at least 44 points in all three outs up north last week, and he combined with Chon Miranda on an 89.5point ride last night in Window Rock. He will probably be a longround bull at times, and he showed he is capable of producing results in the Championship Round as well. Either way, he is going to be a solid draw moving forward.

It Was Great Seeing the Local Riders Electrify the Crowd One of the great things about the Navajo Nation CBR Challenge is the addition of some of the local Navajo bull riders. Tustin Daye and Guytin Tsosie brought the huge crowd to its feet during the long round. Daye was 91.5 points on Psycho Todd, and Tsosie was 92.5 points on Fumar. They both had a great shot at winning the event, but after bucking off their respective bulls in the Championship Round, they settled for a top-10 finish. Tsosie finished fourth last year in Window Rock after a 90-point ride in the long round, so he is becoming an annual contender at this event. Regardless of whether or not these guys ride, the support they get is tremendous. It just so happens they rocked the house last night, and that’s pretty cool to see.

and had a miss-matched pair of stirrups. At the time it probably wasn’t worth $20 (about $100.00 today), but to someone who had as little as I did, it was a HUGE gesture. Back then I considered it the most valuable gift I’d ever received. At the lady’s advice I took it down to a local saddle shop and the man there helped me get the old thing back into useable shape. After throwing in a saddle blanket and a wore out catch rope, my bill came to much more than I had available. Luckily, he let me charge things. It took me almost the rest of the school year to repay him. I now had what I needed to be a fully outfitted cowhand! That’s where the education really began. I practiced daily with the old catch rope. I rode every chance I could in spite of very little instruction. Every time I’d see Mrs. DePuy however, she’d ask about my horse and how things were coming. She was always wise to a young boy’s feelings and would drop little hints about horses and cowboying which were very helpful. Never direct orders, mind you, not unsolicited advice (I was too prideful for that) just helpful hints I was too foolish to ask for. Somehow she knew to be careful, not wounding my fragile, budding confidence. I hung on her every word without trying to show my ignorance too much. Through trial, error, lots of wrecks and just pure-d ole grit and determination, somehow I got through it all. That saddle and hints garnered from Mrs. DePuy helped launch my cowboy career ahead by years. Eventually I traded up in the horse and tack department. Shoot, I’m still doing that to this very day! But everyone starts somewhere and now you know my humble beginnings into cowboydom. I’ve owned many horses and saddles since then but never have I forgotten my first ones, or what it took to get them. The real story here is about giving, sharing and helping people out who need it more than you do. Marlene DePuy knew the art of giving. When she gave me that saddle, the only thing she got initially was the little “Splash” (the good feeling). That’s not why she did it though; not just for a little thanks either. She assisted people because she loved helping people. Marlene did stuff like that for folks all the time. Unfortunately, Mrs. DePuy met an untimely death about a decade later. I had

She had no way of knowing what the eventual ripple effect would be, although I’m sure she knew there’d be one. She knew by practicing the art of giving, it goes far beyond the initial splash…that little ripple effect, in certain instances, can last forever. The effects from her unselfish acts were definitely not wasted. I know, at least in my case, their still being felt in the pond of life to this day. I learned from fine folks like

Marlene DePuy. That’s how I got my start and I’ve never forgotten acts of kindness done for me; especially those done when I needed it most. I do my best to instill the art of giving into my own son today. I know as well as anyone how small acts of kindness can make a huge difference in another’s life. I also know the ripple effect of giving goes on and on; possibly longer than your own mortality! Thought I’d just share that lil ole story with you. It did, and still does, mean a lot to me. Thanks, Marlene.

Texas Two Step A Big Hit! It made sense that if two special fees ropings worked in the spring, then two should work in the Fall. Ricky Bolin from Resistol headed the Salado roping and Troy Shelley headed the Hamilton roping, both using the same great pen of cattle. The result was that both the #11 pre-enter Super Qualifiers went over the 150 team target ten

days prior to the entry deadline. Each of these ropings paid roughly $90,000. But the special fees #11 ropings were not the entire story, Hamilton had a full blow WS qualifiers on the remainder of the divisions. Throw in the dance band on saturday night and it was big weekend of roping, one that will definately be repeated. There were so many first time ropers entered on their USTRC classifications, Arkie jumped in the truck to go get a look. He felt maybe a first hand look could help a bit. We don’t want to overshadow this story with discouraging talk about handicaps, but you can read that at the end of this story. Troy got a big scare the day of his Super 11 as his main computer had a meltdown sunday morning and the entire roping was lost 15 minutes prior to roping time. Troy quickly drafted Connie Gentry and Audrey Powell into the office, and the roping was completely rebuilt and teams were running 30 minutes late. The ropers understood and didn’t grumble much, but puffs of smoke were occasionally seen drifting out of the office.

Unwanted Horse Coalition Launches Operation Gelding Program

MONTH OCT 10

BUILT BY VSA-CR

1\2

he Unwanted Horse Coalition (UHC) has initiated Operation Gelding. The new UHC program will provide funds and materials to assist organizations, associations and events that wish to sponsor clinics to which horse owners can bring their stallions to be castrated. A number of associations have sponsored such clinics and the UHC IN HOUSE PROOF CRX’D to help more organizations, wants associations and events get involved in his effort. Vertical (7.3 9.5) is made possible by a Thisx initiative

special gift from the American Association of Equine Practitioners Foundation (AAEP) and the UHC; both organizations have donated seed money to get the program started. Operation Gelding is patterned after several initiatives undertaken by horse associations, organizations and events around the country. “The Coalition has focused on raising awareness about the unwanted issue for the first few years of its existence. We are now able to start offering some tangible programs that help address the problem. Hopefully this will be the first of many,” said David Foley, Executive Director of the AAEP. The UHC will provide information and forms necessary to conduct a clinic, along with seed money to defray the costs. Funds of $50 per horse gelded with a $1,000 maximum will be awarded to groups once a year. Assistance will be awarded on a first come, first serve basis, subject to available resources. Organizations can apply by filling out the Operation Gelding Funding Form provided by the UHC. Funds will be awarded once the clinic is complete and a veterinary statement is provided. Any organization, association or event can participate in the UHC’s Operation Gelding program, the UHC wants to involve as many groups as possible. “The impetus for these clinics is that the castration of a stallion will help prevent over-breeding and produce a gentler horse that is more rideable, more trainable and more saleable, allowing them to be used in several careers,” said Dr. Doug Corey, Chairman of the UHC. “With the inauguration of this program, the UHC will become more directly involved in helping horses.” “There are many ways that an organization, association or event can become involved in helping with unwanted horses in addition to Operation Gelding. The UHC’s handbook, Best Practices: How Your Organization Can Help Unwanted Horses, outlines other activities that organizations, associations and events can undertake to create programs that help horses in need,” said Ericka Caslin, director of the UHC. Best Practices cites many examples of how organizations and groups can get involved, including gelding clinics. This handbook is available for download at the UHC website at http://www.unwantedhorsecoalition.org/? id=1 or hard copies can be obtained by contacting the UHC. For more information about Operation Gelding, to receive a packet of information or to apply for funding, please contact UHC director, Ericka Caslin ecaslin@horsecouncil.org 202-296-4031 Visit the UHC website for additional information, forms, and additional assistance at www.unwantedhorsecoalition.org.

Industry News Fast Back Ropes introduces the

Fast Back Ropes is excited to introduce a new rope this fall, The Natural. The Natural is a nylon-poly blended, four-strand, with a feel unlike anything Fast Back currently manufactures. “We have always built ropes with lots of body, among other characteristics,” explains Al Benson, General Manager of Fast Back. “With the evolution of rope making, we realize ropers are unique and not everyone likes the same thing. Ropers speak, we listen and the Natural is the result of that process.” The Natural is a highly visible natural color made of specially manufactured materials for better grip on the horn. Ropers will appreciate the Natural’s extreme durability and consistent performance in all weather conditions. The Natural is slightly deader with more tip weight and is very forgiving. This rope will be a good fit for many ropers who are not currently Fast Back users. Ropers who prefer a rope with less body and more tip weight will love the Natural. “When heeling with this rope, it molds to the ground without bouncing,” explains BFI champion and PRCA heeler, Ryan Motes, “I like that the Natural comes tight fast and grabs and holds the horn extremely well.” The Natural will be available at retail and online stores October 15, 2010. Stay connected with the latest information and updates by visiting www.fastbackropes.com, and Fast Back Ropes on Facebook, at www.facebook.com/fastbackropes, often for information and promotions.

Formula 707 Digestive Essentials™ is new name for Pro-Zy-Max Now, like Daily Essentials™, Joint Essentials 5-in-1™, Calming Essentials™, and Gastro Essentials™, the John Ewing Company’s equine probiotic, Pro-ZyMax, has been renamed Formula 707 Digestive Essentials™ to bring it into line with the company’s branding position. Formulation of the product remains unchanged. “We think of all our products as the essential tools knowledgeable horse men and women use to maintain peak health and condition in their animals,” said Melanie Luark, John Ewing Company president and CEO. “Digestive Essentials contains just what horses need to help maintain microorganisms in the gut and allow them to digest food effectively.” In order to digest the insoluble carbohydrates in a fibrous diet, horses have evolved a digestive tract with an enlarged pouch called a cecum. Most soluble carbohydrates are absorbed in the small intestine, but insoluble carbohydrates, which are not so easily digested, are passed into the cecum where beneficial microorganisms help break down the fibrous plant materials so horses can use the energy in them. This is where Digestive Essentials works to balance healthy digestion. According to Luark, Formula 707 Digestive Essentials is superior to other probiotics because it has a larger colony count per serving, microencapsulated bacteria for easier absorption, viable yeast cells and supplemental enzymes. “Sometimes when horses being transported, or experiencing a change in feed or housing, they need to re-flourish bacteria in the gut to insure healthy digestion,” Luark said. Digestive Essentials is also beneficial for horses that have had a course of antibiotics, as well as for bred mares during gestation, she said. Formula 707 Digestive Essentials should begin appearing on dealers’ shelves soon. For more information, call the John Ewing Company at 800-525-8601, or visit online at Formula707.com.

About John Ewing Company Founded in 1946, the John Ewing Company was one of the first to develop and distribute a daily nutritional supplement of vitamins and minerals for horses. Called Formula 707 Daily Essentials, the product was highly successful and is now the flagship for complete lines of Formula 707 equine, small pet and human supplements as well as other animal health products. The company is headquartered in La Salle, Colorado and distributes throughout the U.S. as well as in Canada, Europe and South America.

The World Championship Of Steer Roping The top 15 PRCA steer ropers come back to Oklahoma’s Lazy E Arena to compete at the Clem McSpadden National Finals Steer Roping.

he World Championship of Steer Roping is headed back to the Lazy E Arena in Guthrie, Oklahoma where the top steer roping athletes will compete for the World Title at the 52nd Annual Clem McSpadden National Finals Steer Roping (NFSR) presented by National Saddlery, this November 5th and 6th. The NFSR will feature the top 15 steer ropers in the world who have qualified after competing all season at steer roping events across the country. Some of the stars anticipated to qualify for this years NFSR include the Defending World Champion and Current PRCA Steer Roping Standings Leader Rocky Patterson of Pratt, Kansas; the “King of Rodeo” – 11-time PRCA World Champion Trevor Brazile; 2-time PRCA World Champion Scott Snedecor; and the 2009 NFSR Average Champion Bryce Davis of Abilene, Texas. Fans can follow the PRCA Steer Roping World Standings at

http://www.prorodeo.com/Standings.aspx? xu=1&year=2010. As in years past and just like the National Finals Rodeo (NFR), the event will consist of a total of ten (10) full gorounds to determine the PRCA World Champion and the final 2010 PRCA Steer Roping World Standings. On Friday night, November 5th, rounds 1 through 5 will take place for a total of 75 runs. Then on Saturday night, November 6th , rounds 6 through 10 equating to another 75 runs will determine who walks out of the Lazy E Arena with the PRCA World Championship gold buckle and saddle The Lazy E Arena was built to host the NFSR in 1984 by E.K. Gaylord II. The Lazy E hosted this world championship event from 1984 until 2000. In 2001, the NFSR event moved to Amarillo, Texas for a 5-year run then made a 3- year stop in Hobbs, New Mexico. Officials at the Lazy E Arena could not be happier that this

prestigious event has made its way back to Oklahoma. Last year, the Oklahoma state Legislature unanimously passed a resolution to change the name of the event, to honor the late Clem McSpadden, who served for many years in the Oklahoma Legislature and the U.S. House of Representatives while also building a reputation as one of the best announcers in rodeo history. He worked the NFSR a record 27 times. McSpadden was also known as the “Voice of the Lazy E” Steer Roping fans will enjoy all of the activities planned for the performances and in addition, the Senior National Finals Steer Roping will be held during the day at the Lazy E Arena starting November 5th ending November 6th. VIP ticket prices for each performance of the NFSR are $37…Box Seats $30…and General Admission $20 preshow - Children 12 and under are FREE in general admission. Group discounts are also available…call (800) 595-RIDE for complete details.

Dodge National Circuit Finals Rodeo Makes a Move To Oklahoma City

xpressLazy E Sports Productions in conjunction with the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) announced today that the Dodge National Circuit Finals Rodeo (DNCFR) will move to Oklahoma City beginning in 2011. The annual event will be held at the State Fairgrounds Arena March 31 – April 3, 2011. The 2011 DNCFR will be one of the richest rodeos in the world. The DNCFR is the showcase event of each year’s circuit season. Each of the 12 PRCA circuits sends two competitors in each event to the DNCFR – the year-end earnings champion and the winner of each Dodge sponsored circuit final – to compete for cash, a national championship and a Dodge vehicle voucher. The DNCFR was held in Pocatello, Idaho, from 1987-2010. The Championship is among the most prestigious titles a rodeo cowboy can win and will feature all seven rodeo events including bareback riding, saddle bronc riding, barrel racing, steer wrestling, team roping, tie-down roping and bull riding “The PRCA is excited to bring another major professional rodeo event back to Oklahoma,” said PRCA Commissioner Karl Stressman. “The people of Oklahoma have

always proven to be great rodeo fans and now, in addition to this fall’s November 5-6 Clem McSpadden National Finals Steer Roping at the Lazy E Arena in Guthrie, we’ll take the DNCFR to Oklahoma City in the spring.” From 1965-78, the Oklahoma State Fair Arena (then known as the Jim Norick State Fair Arena) was home to the National Finals Rodeo where, under the direction of general manager Clem McSpadden, it became a major league sports event “The goal of the PRCA is to grow our events, and we can’t think of a better place to do that than Oklahoma City – a metropolitan location in the heart of this great country,” Stressman continued. “We’ve

always appreciated how supportive Oklahomans are of the sport of professional rodeo.” “Bringing this multi-million dollar event here is another way for Oklahoma City to continue to establish itself as a destination,” said Express Employment Professional CEO Bob Funk. “Oklahoma City has been without championship rodeo for over 25 years. This annual event will not only bring national championship rodeo back to Oklahoma City but will give the area a nice boost from over 30,000 visitors to our city.” Tickets for the event will go on sale December 1. For more information, contact the Express-Lazy E at 282-RIDE or 232GOAL About ExpressLazy E Sports Production: ExpressLazy E is a partnership between Bob Funk Sr., Lazy E Arena and Prodigal LLC. As a group, they have been involved in the production of roughstock and rodeo events for the past 27 years.

s I sit here this month hammering out this little column, I have quite a few things I could concentrate on. I guess I could say the “dirt” is starting to fly from many different directions, in many different areas of the rodeo and team roping world. Continuing last month’s column, it is only a week until the NMRA 30th Anniversary State Finals, and by the time this month’s All-Around hits your mailbox, the event will be wrapped up and this year’s champions honored. I would personally like to congratulate all of the winners. Even more important though is what will happen to the association and its leaders. NMRA members will have had a chance to vote in a new president or retain the one holding the position now. At this point, I really can’t wait to see what happens and I can bet next Monday will be full of buzz in the NMRA realm. Whatever happens, the availability of material for this column will be abundant and I promise to keep you posted. Now, onto some other areas of the world of team roping and rodeo, have you checked out the PRCA standings? Wow! is all I can say. Except for the bareback riding and

the All-Around races, every event is neck and neck with less than a round win at the WNFR separating the top contestants. It is really going to be an exciting finish this year in Las Vegas! Shoot – It makes me want to book a room now to enjoy the excitement. Now what about the USTRC and the upcoming National Finals event? Well, I have to say I have not received anything official from my friends at the USTRC, but despite the nation’s economy and the low numbers at some of this year’s Regional events, the USTRC Finals looks to be holding pretty steady. Now I won’t BS you, I assume there probably won’t be as many ropers attending as there have been in the past, but it will still be the biggest and best team roping event in the country. And, like years in the past, you can bet the USTRC will hold nothing back to make it a phenomenal event where teams will walk away with life-changing amounts of cash! I could go on with several other topics, both regional and national, but I will hold out until next month so stay tuned. Until then – Dirt, keep it under your feet. Ryan

Muncy Shows Gold-Buckle Form with Win At San Juan Capistrano Muncy was 20 years old when he won his first saddle bronc riding gold buckle in 2007, and he concedes that he probably didn’t have a full appreciation of what he’d accomplished. Even with a world of talent – and Muncy has that – there are other things that come into play. He’s lost big chunks of two seasons to injuries, so he now knows more fully how important it is to stay healthy. Then there is the luck of the draw, the strain of being on the road 200 days a year, of setting your schedule and managing your money. “When I won the first time, I didn’t really think I had a shot going against all these guys who I look up to,” Muncy said. “Now I realize how hard it is to get one, and it makes me want to work to win another one. I’m a little more serious now. I’m working harder than ever. I try to go to each rodeo and concentrate on doing my work.” For a snapshot of just how this newly refocused Muncy is doing, this Aug. 25-29 weekend will do nicely. Muncy had an 88point ride on Cervi Championship Rodeo’s Sacred Sacrifice to win the Rancho Mission Viejo Rodeo in San Juan Capistrano, Calif., and shared the title at the Kitsap County Fair & Stampede in Bremerton, Wash. These were the two biggest rodeos of the weekend (Rancho Mission Viejo is the richest two-day rodeo on the PRCA schedule at $185,189), and the Corona, N.M., cowboy won at least a share of the title at both to bank a total of $10,850 and move from eighth to sixth in the world standings. “I couldn’t ask for a better weekend,” Muncy said. “The whole year has been really good, actually. I think I’ve done better in the bigger rodeos (he’s fifth in the Wrangler Million Dollar Tour standings)

than I ever have. I’ve won a few rodeos (seven), but mostly I’ve been pretty steady at winning checks. I drew good horses everywhere I went this weekend, and I was just feeling confident about everything. “My goal going down the stretch is to get myself into the top five before we get to the Wrangler NFR. I feel like I’d have a better chance (for another world title) if I start the NFR in the top five.”

Etbauer Becomes First Cowboy to Earn $3 Million In A Single Event Trust Billy Etbauer to reach each new milestone in grand style. A week ago, Etbauer joined Trevor Brazile as the sport’s only $3 million cowboys by winning the saddle bronc riding title in Burley, Idaho. This week, a win at the Lynden (Wash.) PRCA Rodeo made him the first contestant to bank $3 million in a single event. The $1,495 he earned in Lynden, plus another $1,141 check for finishing fourth in the Horse Heaven Round-Up in Kennewick, Wash., brought his career earnings in saddle bronc riding to $3,002,158 and $3,003,492 overall. “It’s unreal,” Etbauer said. “I never would have imagined this when I started out. You’d like to say you have the $3 million in your bank account, but I kind of do still have it. (Rodeo) allowed me to buy land, build a home and make investments. It’s all been a blessing.” Etbauer put himself over the top in Lynden with an 80-point ride on the aptly named Showtime of the Northern Cross Rodeo Company String. It was almost a family double: wife Hollie Etbauer was second in the barrel racing to Kelli Tolbert by two-tenths of a second. The only money Etbauer earned in another event came in team roping in 1992. Etbauer heeled for Don Hall – regular

partner Joe Sherman was ailing – and they earned $1,335 after finishing in a tie for third place in the first round of the National Western Stock Show & Rodeo in Denver with a time of 6.2 seconds.

Tierney Claims Inaugural Badlands Steer Roping Title It figured that the one member of the ProRodeo Hall of Fame in the field would claim the inaugural Badlands Circuit Steer Roping Finals in Deadwood, S.D. – even if he is 58 years old. Paul Tierney of Oral, S.D., won round two on his way to a fivehead average time of 82.9 seconds on Sept. 4, edging Ora Taton of Rapid City, S.D., by less than a second. They were the only competitors to complete qualified runs in every round. Jay Pixley of Sundance, Wyo., won three rounds and had the rodeo-best run of 11.0 seconds to finish third in the average and assure his first-place finish in the yearend standings. Tierney’s son, Jess, was fourth. Pixley and Paul Tierney have both qualified for the National Circuit Finals Steer Roping next spring in Torrington, Wyo., the first men to make the field.

Brothers In the Wrangler NFR With Clif Cooper moving into ninth place over the weekend with his big wins in Puyallup (Wash.) and Lewiston, Idaho, it begins to look like there may be a couple of three-brother sets making it to the Wrangler NFR in the same event. Clif, elder brother Clint (11th) and younger brother Tuf (2nd) are all among the Top 15 tie-down ropers, while Montana brothers Clay, Travis and Brady Tryan are ranked in the Top 15 among team roping headers. The chance of there being three three-brother sets – which seemed so possible for much of the season –

now ranks as a long shot. Cody and Jesse Wright are both in the Top 15 of the saddle bronc riding standings, but brother Alex has dropped to 22nd. Only one set of three brothers – Robert, Dan and Billy Etbauer – has ever managed such a parlay, and they did it eight times (1989-92, 1994-97). Brothers Butch (BR), Kaye (BB) and Sandy Kirby (BB, BR) all qualified for the 1975 NFR, but not all in the same event.

Brazile Watch Nobody can accuse Trevor Brazile of taking it easy down the stretch. A secondplace result in the tie-down roping at the Justin Boots Playoffs in Puyallup, Wash., and an all-around title at the Lewiston (Idaho) Roundup brought him earnings of $18,356 in his bid to become the first eighttime all-around world champion. Brazile’s season total of $239,235 is nearly $1,000 more than the average earnings of the reserve world champion over the last five years. He is entered in all three roping events at the Pendleton (Ore.) Round-Up this week and arrives at this last fortnight of the regular season in position for his second Triple Crown in four years and maybe even an unprecedented Grand Slam: Brazile leads the all-around and tie-down roping standings, is third in steer roping and fourth among team roping headers.

Another Week, Another Team Roping Leader For the third consecutive week there is a new name atop the team roping heading standings. By teaming with Travis Graves to win the Justin Boots Playoffs in Puyallup (Wash.), and $19,066, Clay Tryan moved to the No. 1 spot past both Turtle Powell and Chad Masters. His $109,569 for the season puts him $5,221 ahead of Powell in the closest race in the world standings.

PBR TPD features six events in five states BFTS in California for Week 25 of race to World Finals The Professional Bull Riders Touring Pro Division will have events across the country this weekend with stops in California, Louisiana, Oklahoma, South Carolina and Texas.

and TPD events, is dedicated to unifying, developing and promoting the bucking bull industry through pedigree preservation; enhancement and promotion of bucking bull ownership, breeding, and welfare; and development of programs and events showcasing the world’s finest bucking bull stock. The ABBI is the third-largest cattle registry and is set up to record and preserve the pedigrees of the world’s premier bucking bulls. The BFTS visits Citizens Business Bank Arena in Ontario, Calif., on Saturday and Sunday for the Bass Pro Shops Shootout presented by Cooper Tires, the 25th of 30 stops on the way to the 2010 PBR World Finals on Oct. 20-24 at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas. The first 24 events have produced 17 different winners, and there are 12 riders in the Top 20 with an event win. Austin Meier of Kinta, Okla. has the most wins with four, while Renato Nunes of Buritama, Brazil has three and Valdiron de Oliveira of Aparecida de Goiania, Brazil, and Silvano Alves of Pilar, Brazil, each have two wins. The standings lead has changed nine times, and six different riders have been ranked first. J.B. Mauney of Mooresville, N.C. has been first three different times, while Meier and Nunes have each been

on top twice. More than 100 million viewers annually watch over 400 hours of primetime programming on VERSUS, NBC, CBS and networks around the world. The PBR has awarded over $100 million in prize money and 20 riders have earned over $1 million, including Justin McBride with $5.5 million, the most of any western-sports athlete in history.

A Note of Thanks From Kelly Bryant Dear Board members, Parents & Athletes: I would like to thank everyone for the generous gift given to me by the association. I would also like to thank everyone for their thoughts, prayers, cards & calls. It really meant a lot to me & my family. I was disappointed to not be able to attend the rodeos towards the end of the last season, but am grateful for all the wonderful people at high school rodeo who were there for my daughter Austin & gave her a hand when she needed it. I am in remission at this time & look forward to the 1st rodeo in Payson. I feel extremely lucky to have been a member myself and to be a parent of members in this great association. Sincerely, Kelly & Bruce Bryant Colten & Austin Butler

Hello to all AJRA members, past and future. I’m sure that you have all been wondering just what in the heck are those guys doing? Simply put, we have had a lot of work put on us because of the way that the past year and a half has gone. As you all know we have had a lot of turnover in our President and Secretary positions. I would like to begin by commending Brian Keaveney for stepping in and salvaging what was left of last year and holding things together as best he could. It seems as though previous leadership could only think about how we could spend our kids’ money and give SADDLES. No one happened to think about where we were going to rodeo this year; some were even giving up on the AJRA. We all don’t want to loose sight of the fact that this association is all about the kids. Not just our kids but future kids as well. If we want to see our great way of life continue in Arizona then we need to think like the founders of our association; referring to the rule book charter page….

1) The AJRA is organized exclusively for charitable and educational purposes and to maintain standards and guidelines set by the AJRA among its members. 2) To promote the Christian principals upon which the AJRA was founded and to encourage members to exhibit characteristics consistent with these ideals. That’s just the first two items, if you haven’t read it you can find them at our website under “forms”. I’m sure I stepped on a few toes by publishing this, but that’s the way I feel about it. Now for some information: Destry Haught will again be our stock contractor this year. I think that he did a good job last year and will improve this year.Our schedule is still a work in progress. Florence will be our first rodeo October 22 and 23. We looked at going to Sonoita late in September and even contacted them but we felt time was too short to make it happen. The next rodeo scheduled is in Casa Grande with the local posse there sponsoring us on November 13 and 14. We will break for the holidays and come back hopefully in

Wickenburg on the 22 and 23 of January, this one is tentative and still in the works. February is a wild card we have a couple of places to talk to but for now that’s it. March should be a real good one if it all comes together at the Pro Arena in Tucson. They are real interested in us for the 19 and 20 of March. April is Wilcox on the 16 and 17 and Prescott is May 21 and 22. The finals will be back in Payson on the 17 and 18. The format for the finals is going to be the traditional top 10 only. This was discussed by the board at the last meeting. Julie Keaveny will be posting the minutes of those last two meetings soon so look at the website for any further decisions or rule changes. Also our first fundraiser of the year will be a saddle raffle donated by Corky Irons of Dynamite Horsemans Supply. Tickets will be given out at Florence and more info to follow. I am real excited about our coming season and together I think we can do great things. God Bless and Adios, Travis Bates

ll-Around Cervi Chasing Another Career Milestone by Ann Bleiker

ith just over two weeks left in the 2010 rodeo season, two-time WPRA Barrel Racing World Champion Sherry Cervi is closing in on another career milestone. As of Sept. 13, Cervi is $10,897 from setting a new WPRA record for most money won prior to the Wrangler NFR. 2008 World Champion Lindsay Sears holds the record set the same year she won her world title with a total of $184,567.

Mays Continues her March to Las Vegas with a Win at the Justin Boots Playoffs by Ann Bleiker

hree-time Wrangler NFR qualifier Brenda Mays continues to add to her impressive resume with her latest victory coming at the Justin Boots Playoffs, Sept. 10-12, in Puyallup, Wash. Mays of Terrebonne, Ore., captured the title in a time of 14.21 seconds during the sudden-death final round featuring the top eight in the average from the first two rounds. Mays finished second in the first round with a time of 14.15 seconds, behind 2008 World Champion Lindsay Sears who stopped the clock in a rodeo best 13.91 seconds. In the second round, Mays and Judge Buy Cash (Jethro) completed the cloverleaf pattern in a time of 14.21 seconds to finish in a tie for fourth with Sears. The round was won by Benette Barrington of Lubbock, Texas with a time of 13.94 seconds. Barrington captured the Tour stop win in Redding, Calif., in May and is currently on the bubble to qualify for the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo in December. The money she won Puyallup might be just the spark she needs to punch her ticket to Las Vegas. In the Final round, Mays outdistanced Barrington by four one-hundreths of a second to capture the title. Sue Smith of Blackfoot, Idaho, was third in a time of 14.42 seconds and Sheena Robbins of Fresno, Calif., was fourth in a time of 14.44 seconds. The other four that competed in the final round included Angie Meadors, Kelli Tolbert, Nellie Williams and Sears. Mays added $5,750 from Puyallup to her 2010 earnings and the win marked her fourth victory on the 2010 Wrangler Million Dollar Tour following wins in Cody, Wyo., Prescott, Ariz., and Hermiston, Ore., earlier this year. Mays also won the title at the Lewiston (Idaho) Round-Up over the weekend in a time of 17.07 seconds, out racing Jeanne Anderson who was second with a time of 17.33 seconds. Mays won a check worth $3,125 in Lewiston. Twelve ladies will now compete at the Justin Boots Championships in Omaha, Neb., Sept. 23-25. Look for more information on Mays’ win in Puyallup in the October Women’s Pro Rodeo News.

household is listening. Turning on the fan or water faucet didn’t help as I needed something more like a loud John Phillips Souza march to mask all my ruminations. The worst thing about staying with urban hosts is that my wife discovered all sorts of niceties. “Did you notice the thread count on the sheets?” she asked. “Big deal,” I replied. “They had two, a top and bottom sheet just like we do.” On the day we left we had to do more housework than gets done in our house in an entire year. For example, we had to change the sheets so the next guests would have clean ones, which we never do after guests stay at our house! And I hope that thought is enough to stop anyone from ever thinking of staying with us, because I think we can all agree, the only thing worse than being houseguests is having them. www.LeePittsbooks.com

washed my boots before I went or else she’d still be getting stains out of her carpet, if you know what I mean. I was in trouble for the duration of our stay merely because I drank out of the water jug, my car left oil in the street in front of their house, I put my feet up on their foot stool, I failed to put the sections of the Sunday paper back in alphabetical order after I read them, and, horror of horrors, I put a recyclable bottle in the regular trash! And what’s the deal with all those pillows people pile on their beds and couches these days? I never did figure out the difference between those pillows that could actually be used, and those that were merely for decoration. Anyway, I supposedly ruined one by getting it all out of shape by using it as, get this, A PILLOW! The guest bathroom we were assigned was a land mine for me. How was I supposed to know that I wasn’t supposed to use the little soaps in the shape of conch shells? I’ll admit by the second day they Phillip, looked more like rifle shells but it’s not VSA IN HOUSE PROOF CRX’D I just finished flagging a roping with two teams coming back in the short-go. The second anything to start crying over is it? Really? high call team had just run and was coiling up at the end of the arena when the first high When our host made the ghastly soap call team ran. The header roped what appeared to be slick horns and the heeler legged up. V (4.9 x 6.6) As the header took the steer to the stripping chute, the heeler from the other team started yelling loudly. However, I could not make out what was being said and felt that he was just giving the team a razzing for catching. This is his practice from time to time. He continued on and I turned around and realized that he was saying that the head loop was illegal-hickey horn. I stated that the flag had dropped and the run was final—by this time the rope was being pulled. He rode down the arena and continued to complain in a loud voice. I asked him to ride over to the other side of the arena to discuss this but he refused and continued to get louder and appeared to be ready to dismount and get physical. I immediately dismounted and walked over to him and asked him to leave the arena, which he did. After consultation with four other directors from our organization he was allowed to complete his final run which resulted in a no time—his header missed. What is your opinion of my call? Thank you. Steve Tomaski Steve, Thank you for your question. I want to start off by saying we all make mistakes. Regardless of who you are or how many runs you have flagged. You made your call and, from what you are telling me, you missed a bad head catch. That was your call and when you rode off that was the end of it, whether the call was right or wrong. You didn’t have any questions about the call and you felt like it was the right one. No flagger or judge makes mistakes on purpose. It is important that we stand by our calls and we don’t let anyone else Located in one of the most secluded and lush try and make the call for us.

ne of the side effects these days of the rotten economy is that people are staying with friends and relatives more when they go on vacation, and if that’s not incentive enough right there to turn around our economy I don’t know what is. I apologize if the following advice comes late for those of you who have already made the mistake of staying as houseguests with friends or relatives this past summer. If you haven’t yet, but are about to, I only have one word: DON’T DO IT! (Okay, so that’s three words but I thought my message was too important to leave to just a single syllable.) We should have had this discussion before you ruined your summer by staying with inlaws because you were too cheap to buy a motel room or rent an RV. My advice is late because I only recently made the mistake of staying with relatives myself. I admit I’m not accomplished in the household arts but I thought it was a bit much for the mistress of our temporary accommodations to follow me around with a can of deodorizer and a carpet rake to get MONTH MAR 10 BUILT BY rid of all the footprints left behind by my Justin Ropers.

discovery I was informed that the liquid soap was in one of a dozen cute little dispensers surrounding the sink, and during the rest of our stay I washed my hands and face with a variety of perfumes, moisturizing lotions and cuticle removers. After I took a shower my wife asked, “You didn’t get the shower wet did you?” “Yes,” I replied, as I had not yet mastered the art of taking a shower without getting the shower wet too. I was told immediately to dry the shower out, removing all water spots, but when I did so with the stack of cute little paper towels by the sink you’d have thought I turned loose their canary. (More on that in a later column.) Now here’s the delicate part: The bathroom we used was right off the family room where everyone tended to congregate. You can’t imagine, well maybe you can, how hard it is to try not to make any embarrassing noises while the entire

Find The All-Around at These Locations by Glenda Price

Bringing the Horse Trailer Home

volunteered to go pick up a two-horse trailer and bring it home. It was only about 25 miles away, so I figured it was no problem, and took off on my merry errand. A really nifty gal named Rita had been storing it at her place. It had been a couple of years and I wondered if I needed to get tires for it. Like I said though, she is a nifty person. She had parked it so the wheels sat on wooden boards, which kept the tires off the ground. They were fine – except for one that looked a bit low. I had my two-inch ball for the hitch, and it was the right size, so we decided to hitch it up. Probably the only thing worse than mechanically challenged me out in the sun trying to do stuff is the two of us — this tiny little woman and me. It turned out she was darn good help, though. I backed my vehicle up fairly close to the trailer, and we discovered a problem. Sitting out in the weather apparently had not agreed with the part on the trailer hitch you turn to crank it up or down. We needed WD-40 to loosen it. I looked in my trusty roadside tools somebody had given me. No WD-40 or oil or anything like that. So maybe we could loosen it up with a hammer. I figure when in doubt always get a hammer and bang on stuff. Sometimes it works. My roadside equipment had jumper cables, a flashlight, old batteries, other

things I couldn’t identify but no hammer – not even pliers. She couldn’t find anything helpful in her stuff, either. I did have a jack, though, so we dug out a spot for it under the trailer tongue and jacked that booger up. I finished backing up while she directed me, and after my ball hitch was in place we got ready to let the jack down. The part that opens up and then closes around the ball was stuck, also, so I found a decent size rock, and Rita banged on that part until it moved. I grabbed it and held it open, even though she was yelling, “Watch your fingers.” When it was down onto the ball we beat it with the rock until it closed up. At last we had it hitched. I found a place to run the safety chain and tied it in a knot. The lights didn’t work, of course. We studied and fretted on that problem for awhile before I decided to take a chance. After all it was mid-afternoon, the sun was shining brightly, and the back road home had only a smidgeon of traffic that time of day. When your legality is questionable, it’s best to be really careful, I think. So I drove 45 miles per hour all the way home. There were no traffic lights or stop signs so brake lights weren’t needed, anyway. Next time I need help, I hope Rita is around.

ro arol Boyles, executive assistant to three Professional Rodeo Cowboy Association commissioners and one of the most beloved members of the PRCA family, died of cancer at her Colorado Springs home at 2 a.m. Sept. 3, surrounded by her family. She was 63. Carol came to the PRCA on July 1, 2002, to work for then-commissioner Steve Hatchell and brought professionalism, warmth, humanity and humor to that office for eight years under Hatchell and successors Troy Ellerman and Karl Stressman. “We have lost one of the shining stars of the PRCA,” Stressman said. “This is a very, very sad day for our entire staff.” Prior to coming to the PRCA, Carol worked for three years as assistant to the Chief Executive Officer of the United States Olympic Committee in Colorado Springs. She had also served as office coordinator and legal secretary for the Colorado Springs law firms of Hogan & Hartson LLP and Sherman & Howard for many years. Carol is survived by her daughter, Molly; brother Darrel (Bev) Bogart; sisters Sally Moon and Nancy (Jarvis) Barlow, and many other family members and friends. A memorial service is planned for Sept. 19 at the ProRodeo Hall of Fame. In lieu of flowers, the family requests any memorial contributions be made to the 1400s, an organization founded in 2008 on the tenets of Western heritage and with a commitment to provide funds to those in need. Contributions may be sent to the 1400s, 704 Burke Blvd., Devils Lake, ND 58301.
