all around-jan 2012

tars shined bright at this year’s

Wrangler National Finals Rodeo in

Las Vegas, Nevada. From those who

took a second, third or even their ninth

PRCA World Championship to a handful of

first time champions, the event was

showcased with the talents of the best of

the best. Not only were the top contestants

on hand, the horsepower from the bucking

chutes, as well as the performance of the

horses used in the timed events, and of

course the power of some of the best

bucking bulls in the business were on hand

to capture the spotlight of the famed

Thomas and Mack Center and the WNFR.

Luke Branquinho won his third world

In all, Feild won six of the ten rounds

earning his first World Championship, as

well as winning a Ram truck thanks to his

$179,327 he earned throughout the event

– a WNFR record in bareback riding and

for any cowboy competing in a single

event. It was great tasting icing on the

cake for a year in which Feild earned an

event record $319,986.

The team roping was a mixture of

excitement and embarrassment

throughout the 10-day event. With a lot of

empty loops along the way, the door was

opened for any team to step in and take

home a World Championship. Turtle

Powell and Jhett Johnson did just that.

They bested the year-old earnings record

($120,419 set by Trevor Brazile and

Patrick Smith in 2010) with $125,625

during their 10 days in Las Vegas. They

placed in seven rounds and won the

average titles taking Powell who came to

the finals in the 13th position and

Johnson who was at number 12 in the

world standings prior to the WNFR to

the top of the leader-board when it was

all over. Powel and Johnson have been

on the edge of World Championship titles

for a long time and were thrilled with

the championship.

In his fourth WNFR, Tuff Cooper

didn’t shine at the finales as he has in

years past, but still won $46,731, while

holding off a pack of hungry tie-down

ropers who wanted to take the title home.

Cody Ohl and Matt Shiozawa were the

closest two breathing down Cooper neck

throughout the event. In the end, Cooper

earned $192,042 on the season, which

finished up $18,266 ahead of Shiozawa,

who won the average title for the first

time in his five trips to the Finals.

After leading the world bull riding

title in the steer wrestling. He came out

firing on all cylinders at the beginning of

the ten day event and never looked back.

Contestants had a chance to see several of

his famed celebration dances in the arena

as he continued to set the pace with fast

runs in many rounds. Branquinho took

home the Average title of the rodeo, as

well as the National Championship.

Another veteran of World

Championships came from the Saddle

Bronc Riding event. New Mexico

cowboy, Toas Muncy came into the event

in the number one position, but had a

relatively quite WNFR. However, his

talent kept things going as he stayed on

the top side of his broncs night after night

keeping in front of the other top 14 riders.

Cody Wright kept the heat on Muncy

with several winning rides throughout the

event. He closed the gap on the number

on position and finished number one in

the Average race, but could not overcome

Muncy for the season-ending lead.

The final, now multi-World Champion

came from the barrel racing event.

Lindsay Sears from Nanton, Alberta

Canada demonstrated her proven skills in

Las Vegas with a solid 139.50 seconds on

ten runs winning average. The money

won along the way in each round, as well

as the big Average payout pushed her past

fellow barrel racer Brittany Pozzi for the

2011 PRCA title.

The event had its share of first timers

to strap on the famed World

Championship gold buckles. Kaycee

Field did it in the bareback riding, Turtle

Powell and Jhett Johnson earned theirs in

the team roping and tie-down roper Tuf

Cooper stapped on his after the tenth

round, as did bull rider Shane Proctor.

Feild claimed his first gold buckle in

great fashion winning multiple rounds,

including the first and last at the WNFR.

Wrangler National Finals Rodeo continued

Every year when I sit down to write the

January version of this column it kind

of catches me by surprise that another year

has passed. It also brings to my attention that

it was for a January issue that I wrote the

very first “Competitorial.” This one begins

the 17th year, and during that time I’ve seen

a lot of things take place within the

rodeo/team roping world… some good,

some not so good. One of the things it does

is provide a good reflection point, a good

place to stop and take a look back and put

together an informal analysis as to those

strategies that are most effective in pushing

the sport forward. A sort of Monday-

morning-quarterbacking opportunity for

the past 16 years.

With that in mind, it’s pretty easy to

point out that the number one, most pivotal

driving force for the success of the sport is

the establishment and marketing of an end-

goal. One that is so over the top in both

grandeur, rewards, and the elevation of the

competitor’s notoriety, that everyone in the

sport looks to it with reverence. Of course

I’m talking about a finals, and the

importance of them is never so apparent

then with the completion of the National

Finals Rodeo.

There’s no question that the downturn in

the overall economy has taken a toll on the

sports of rodeo, team roping and barrel

racing. There have been a lot of individual

producers and associations that simply gave

it up because they could no longer make it

work. It’s important to note, however, that

these sports are still alive and thriving in

some instances… and the thing they all have

in common is a finale which seemingly pulls

contestants through the year, keeping the

sport alive.

Of course the NFR is the most notable

example. The PRCA, aided in no small way

by the media machine in Las Vegas, provides

an event that almost single-handedly keeps

the PRCA in business. During that week in

December, no one is thinking about the drop

in PRCA membership, or the number of

PRCA events that have disappeared from the

calendar over the past few years. All

everyone sees is the glitz and glamour of the

PRCA and its best athletes as they compete

for mountains of cash, and the pinnacle of

notoriety as they compete for a world title…

.and THAT is enough to keep the sport alive

for another year.

It’s true in the sport of team roping as

well. The USTRC’s National Finals of Team

Roping is unquestionably the driving force

behind the USTRC’s continued success, just

as the recent finals of World Series Team

Roping is the motor that keeps that

organization moving forward.

The point of all this is, for those

organizations out there who find themselves

struggling, it might be a good idea to

consider what IS working and how they

may need to refocus their efforts in such a

way as to pattern themselves accordingly.

All too often I see organizations with finale

events at the end of the season, where the

finale is no finale at all. It’s no coincidence

that these organizations are struggling, and

they will continue to struggle until they

provide their membership with something

worth striving for.

The ”Finals” or “Finale’” model for

competition organizations is a proven one.

You might see it without recognizing it in

this way, but every successful sport has

one… maybe you’ve heard about some of

them; The Super Bowl, MLB’s World Series,

soccer’s World Cup, golf’s FedEX Cup,

NASCAR’s Chase for the Cup… I’ll bet you

have. Hey, it seems to be working for them,

and it certainly works for the PRCA, the

USTRC, and World Series of Team Roping,

so I’d say it’s a pretty good model.

I think it’s important to note that it’s NOT

just about the money doled out at these

season-ending, mega-events. Don’t get me

wrong, the money is a big part of it, but the

money by itself does not make it work. I

think even more important than the money is

the marketing. It seems pretty obvious to me

that this is a critical element because all the

major sports dedicate an enormous amount

of resources into promoting their respective

“finales.” And why is the marketing of these

finales so critical? Because it’s the marketing

that creates the grandeur, the importance, the

overall prestige of the event… and it’s this

that I believe is the real key.

It all comes full circle… it’s about

winning! Winning at anything feels good and

it’s addictive, but let’s face it, some wins feel

a lot better, and last a lot longer than others.

So then, the only difference between the

feeling of one win versus another, is the

value or the importance that one places on

the win. True, money and prizes are one way

to add value to a win, but I think the prestige

of the win, as measured by the perceived

importance of the event, plays a greater role.

You have to look no further than The

NFL or MLB for proof of this. Yes, it’s true

that players in the Super Bowl receive bonus

checks for playing in the game, but there is

no doubt that they would play in that game

for no bonus money at all. And why?

Because the NFL has done such a great job

in marketing the event that playing in it

provides those competing with a feeling that

is more satisfying than money.

To bring this all back home, all I am

saying is that while organizations

everywhere settle into their planning

sessions for the upcoming year, they consider

where they need to concentrate their efforts.

There is a practiced and proven model that

is in place, and not following that model is

both foolish and almost a certain recipe

for failure.

Best wishes for the new year.

16 JANUARY 2012

by Ben Clements

The USTRC is always trying to

make things better for team

ropers and for the sport of team

roping. One tough aspect of the

game is the USTRC schedule. Not

every roping works for every

roper, but USTRC tries hard to

put events in strategic locations so

ropers can attend and benefit. This

year the USTRC has made some

changes that will hopefully be in

everyone’s best interest.

First of all, due to facility schedulingconflicts the Bayou Championships inKinder, Louisiana has made a move toJanuary 6-8. The Arizona Championshipsin San Carlos, Arizona has been moved to awarmer climate in Casa Grande and willnow be called The Valley of the SunChampionships and produced by KennyZamora. The event will still be held onFebruary 3-5.This year the Hawaii Championships

will change producers and locations. Theevent will still be held over Presidents Dayweekend, but will be produced by BrianAnderson and will be held on the BigIsland of Hawaii just outside of Waimea atthe Anderson Indoor Arena.The East Texas Championships will take

place in Athens, Texas on February 17-19,but will change to a Format Two event. Thiswill allow ropers a third entry and createmore partner opportunities. It’s no secret that California has been a

tough market over the past few years.USTRC remains committed to having aWest Coast presence, but in 2012 plans toscale back the number of smaller events inhopes of hosting a couple of larger eventsinstead. This year the events in Californiawill be the Northern California Classic onMarch 24-25 and the West Coast RegionalFinals on June 22-24. Both events will bein Paso Robles and should allow ropers theopportunity to attend two great ropings.The California Championships in City ofIndustry, Salinas Championships in Salinas,the Wine Country Classic in Paso Robles,and the Laughlin Team Roping Finals inFort Mohave, Arizona will all consolidateinto two great events. The Colorado RiverClassic will change dates to March17-18but will still be at the Mojave CrossingEvents Center in Fort Mohave, Arizona,and will be a roping for ropers in theArizona, Nevada, California, Utah andwestern New Mexico area.The South Texas Championships in

Bryan, Texas will remain a Format Twoevent, but change to a three-day schedule.The new Brazos County Expo Complexcan easily handle a big event in three days,plus ropers will now save one day of travelexpenses. Another March event making a

change is the Florida Championships. Itwill move from Green Cove Springs,Florida to the southern part of Florida. Theevent will be held this year just south ofTampa in Sarasota. Some additions to the schedule this

year will surely be a benefit to ropers. Thisyear there will be an event in Lincoln,Nebraska. The event will be the EasternNebraska Championships and will takeplace March 16-18. It will be a Jeff SmithProduction and should be a great additionfor ropers in the Nebraska, South Dakota,Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Missouri,Illinois, and Kansas.

you about Casey Darnell first off, however,is, “He had a way with horses.”Daughter, Emily Darnell Nunez, had this

to say about her father, “When my dadwould walk into the barn, every horse in theplace would stick their head out over thestall gate as if they were greeting him. He’dthen proceed to visit each one, talking tothem like they were his kids. Some hepraised - others got a pep talk, but each onecouldn’t wait to get a visit from him. It’s asif he had a special connection to them.”Casey went through several transitions

throughout his fabled career as a horseman.He started off in the ranching world where,as a kid, he was horseback more often thannot. Then came rodeo where he became

known as a top contender. Next hemoved into reining and showhorses where he gained even morenotoriety, and in the latter stage ofhis life, horse racing became king.All these genres involve horses,but they are distinctly different.Few excel at more than any one ofthese during a lifetime. Casey wasgifted in the horse department.Brother, Fred Darnell, of

Animas, New Mexico once wrote,“Ounce for ounce - pound forpound, Clarence Ellsworth Darnellwas the besthand I ever seen.He didn’t give adarn if a horsebucked, ran offor fell overbackwards, hekept on grinningand making a hand.”As a rodeo

competitorCasey was a top hand. Heexcelled in theroping and bulldogging events.

For many years hetraveled the west, makingcountless friends alongthe way. He even placed atthe “Grand Daddy” of‘em all, CheyenneWyoming! Although not a big man physically,he overcame physicallimitations withhorsemanship skills - andcowboy grit. He was along time member of the

PRCA, eventuallybecoming alifetime Gold Card member.Casey spent

many years in thehorse show worldas well. He trainedand showed aboutall classes andtypes of horses,including reining.In 1957, he had aWorld Championperformance horse named Skippity Scoot.Along the way, he transitioned from being acompetitor, to that of a highly sought afterjudge. While spending 21 years as anofficial AQHA judge, Casey was known forbeing impartial to possible outsideinfluences around the shows. He didn’t careif you were a world champion or a beginner;he called it, how he saw it, on that day.Once, when asked by a champion, who

was used to winning, “Why didn’t we (thecontestant and horse) win?” Casey replied,“Well now, you did not have the best horseout there today.” He did not sugar coatthings, but he had a way of putting it thatmade you like it…never malicious, and still grinning.

In the early 1960s, Casey was introducedto horse racing and it became a passion ofhis thereafter. During a family visit withwife Blair’s kinfolk in the east, they stoppedat a thoroughbred farm in Kentucky. Casey was hooked. He bought his firstthoroughbred on the spot. He was a regularin Southwestern racing circles from then on. A horse Casey trained and raced atSanta Fe Downs even wound up running in the Kentucky Derby. Son Cliff Darnell,who is also a trainer, qualified the horse forthe Derby where it wound up running 9thout of a field of 19. Casey was pleased withhis involvement.Casey once said, “I love what I do.

I love training horses.” He went on to give

Raised on a large ranch in theSan Bernadino Valley, an areaencompassing the “boot heel” ofNew Mexico and the verysoutheastern portion of Arizona,Casey Darnell was born a cowboyin 1917. This area is well knownfor its good “cowboy” ranchingfamilies. It was the haunt ofGeronimo and Cochise beforethat. Tough characters have beenmolded from the clay of this areafor a very long time.

some advice, “You have to do the littlethings well.”Casey was well known - a legend you

might say - in the New Mexico horseracingworld, but his connection with horsesreached far beyond the racetrack. Caseyknew everybody. Well, maybe noteverybody, but he had a lot of influence andwas well renown. Daughter Mary Darnell said, “He never

felt out of place, weather he was in NewYork City or Apache,Arizona...it was allthe same to him. Mymom would take himto various functionsaround the world andhe would dress in hisTux, if required, butalways had his bootsand hat added to theensemble...and peopleloved him where everhe went.”Daughter Emily

recalls being at anevent in TinglyColiseum inAlbuquerque, sittingwith her dad. “The then, Governor of theState of New Mexico, Bruce King, stoppedto shake hands and visit with my dad as ifhe was somebody important.” She recallsthinking, “Wow, my dad must knoweverybody!” Casey made friends easily andhad them all across the country.

Casey and wife Blair were also active inyouth activities. Not only did they teachtheir own children to become involved inequine activities, but they introduced manyother youths to the horse world as well. Thisoften made the difference in a youth’s life,helping them choose between a good path orbad. They loved the 4H program and wereinvolved as leaders. But more than that, theydid simple things, such as taking kids ontrail rides and pack trips into the mountains.

They became suchauthorities on thesubject of trainingyouths with horses;they were featured ina Western Horsemanarticle, givingdetailed advice on thematter. In part, Caseyhad this to say,“Riding, to mostparents, is a way toget a kid past acertain stage…thereare some kids thatwill go on withit…these mature boysand girls will get

great satisfaction out of being able to makea horse do what they want him to do.”Casey got his nickname while still a

youth on the family ranch. Although hisfirst name was Clarence, he was dubbedCasey because he could drive a bulldozer,cleaning dirt tanks and whatnot, so well thathe was named in honor of the legendaryrailroad engineer, Casey Jones.Daughter Mary also tells us of another

amazing feat accomplished by Casey, which had nothing to do with horses. Itinvolved his time in the army during WWII. Before being drafted, Casey wassimply a working cowboy. He listed“cowpuncher” as his occupation on militarypapers. But ironically, within about 60 daysof joining the military he was flying a B-26bomber over Germany. Talk about beingthrown into something in a hurry! Caseywound up flying 27 missions during the war- quite different from the “cow punching”job he had right before. After the warhowever, Casey did not talk much about his time there and he never showed an

I love training horses.” He went on to give

some advice, “You have to do the

little things well.”

interest in flying again, keeping to hisbeloved horses instead.A former Arizona State Legislator, Ralph

Cowan, wrote a letter of recommendationfor Casey. In part it reads, “He is loyal,honest and above board at all times and canbe relied upon to do his best in whatever hemay be called upon to do.”Daughter Mary said, “He always told me

do what you love, work at it everyday andthe rest will fall into place.”

In an interview with New MexicoMagazine, Casey once said, “Get in thehunt. Believe in yourself. Work hard. Watchand listen. Don’t forget to laugh. Plan forthe future. Go after your dream.”Clarence “Casey” Darnell died in 2001,

but his legend status in the horse world liveson. Words from his tombstone pretty muchsum it up – “Well Done.”

assistance to organizations, associations,and events that wish to conduct a publicgelding clinic under the name andguidelines of Operation Gelding. Anorganization that has completed anOperation Gelding clinic will receivefunding of $50 per horse, $1,000maximum, to aid in the costs associatedwith the clinic. The Operation Gelding program is in its

second year, with four clinics alreadycompleted since September 2011. Clinicshave been held in Colorado, Washington,and Michigan. Wilma Tronstad, fromRipley’s Horse Aid Foundation in MountVernon, WA, completed her first OperationGelding clinic in October of this year.Tronstad said, “It has been a privilege forRipley’’’’s Horse Aid Foundation to workwith the dedicated and caring individuals,volunteers, and veterinarians that recognizethe importance of gelding. We havesuccessfully helped RHAF geld 65Washington equines in 2011 with one moreclinic to go.”Dr. Amy Mason, with the Guffey

Veterinary Clinic in Guffey, CO castrated17 horses for an owner in need. Masonsaid, “The Operation Gelding programassisted me in helping a rancher prepare fora dispersal sale. The low economic equinemarket has taken its toll on just abouteveryone. This program made a hugedifference in the quality of life for theseyoung horses going to new homes. It wasvery greatly appreciated.”Willow Run Veterinary Services

conducted an Operation Gelding clinic onNovember 5th in Rockford, Michigan.Under Dr. Jennifer Trippany’s guidance,

they were able to castrate 12 horses at theclinic. “We had an awesome day! Wecastrated twelve horses total and the ownerswere very positive about the clinic,” saidDr. Trippany.Ericka Caslin, UHC Director, said,

“We are excited to be able to continue this important nationwide program, thanks to the generosity of the AAEP. The UHC continues to seek public support, via taxdeductible donations, toextend the program year round. Eachgenerous donation of $50 goes directlytowards funding the castration of a stallion.We hope to gain assistance from the equine industry, in order to offer moregrant money for Operation Gelding clinics, to help tackle the problem ofindiscriminate breeding.”Currently there are six more Operation

Gelding clinics on the calendar. Upcomingclinics will be held in Florida, Texas,Georgia and Kansas.For more information on Operation

Gelding, how to conduct a clinic, theschedule and location of Operation Geldingclinics, or how you can help continue thisprogram, please contact Ericka Caslin,UHC director, at [email protected] 2022964031.

Unwanted Horse Coalition’s Operation Gelding Continues with More Clinics

UHVRC Marks Third Year Donating Vaccinations More than 8,100 rescued and retired horses have been vaccinated against

dangerous diseases through the Unwanted Horse Veterinary Relief Campaign(UHVRC), a veterinary assistance program supported by the American Associationof Equine Practitioners and Merck Animal Health.Now in its third year running, the campaign has provided complimentary

vaccinations to equine rescue and rehabilitation facilities in an effort to help restoreand rehome American’s unwanted horses. More than 500 equine facilities haveapplied for vaccinations through the UHRVC since it began in 2009. Donatedvaccinations have protected horses against diseases including West Nile virus, rabies,tetanus, rhinopneumonitis, and influenza.Equine facilities are required to coordinate an application for the UHVRC with an

AAEP-member veterinarian. Facilities must adhere to the AAEP’s Care Guidelinesfor Equine Rescue and Retirement Facilities and be registered as a 501(c)(3) non-profit. To download an application and the AAEP Care Guidelines or to learn moreabout the UHVRC program, visit www.uhrvc.org.

The Unwanted Horse CoalitionThe mission of the Unwanted Horse

Coalition is to reduce the number ofunwanted horses and improve theirwelfare through education and theefforts of organizations committed tothe health, safety and responsible careand disposition of these horses. TheUHC grew out of the Unwanted HorseSummit, which was organized by theAmerican Association of EquinePractitioners and held in conjunctionwith the American Horse Council’sannual meeting in Washington, D.C., in April 2005. The summit was held to bring key stakeholders together tostart a dialogue on the unwanted horsein America. Its purpose was to developconsensus on the most effective way to work together to address the issue.In June 2006, the UHC was folded into the AHC and now operates underits auspices.

Introducing a More Perfect Payout System Designed to:

Find out more at www.ustrc.com

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

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

For those of you who are unclear on how huge payouts at the NFTR have been previously generated, here is a quick reminder. A critical aspect of USTRC’s success was to create a National Finals event unsurpassed in the amount of money awarded to its National Champions. That goal has been accomplished, signifi ed by the fact that for the last 11 years, over one million dollars of added money has magnifi ed the incredible purses at the USTRC National Finals of Team Roping.

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

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

This commitment demonstrates how much faith the USTRC has in this sport and its members. But what exactly does this pledge mean to you? It means cash purses at every sanctioned event will dramatically increase. Based on roper contributions in 2011, over $750,000 more cash will be paid out at sanctioned events per season, without you having to lift a fi nancial fi nger. That’s the new deal, the revolution USTRC is initiating right now.

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

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

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

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

Sincerely,

Kirk Bray

A New Year – A New Season!

2012 is here! The Holidays are overand the gloom and doom of the nextcouple of cold months are ahead of us,unless of course you are one of thelucky ones in Arizona – it is yourchance to play hard. But I’ll remind you of your great sunshine next Augustwhen you’re hitting the 110 degreemark. Anyway, a New Year in manyways means a new season of rodeos and team roping events. The Southwestis and always will be the greatest placeon earth for rodeo events and I thinkthis coming year will bring about some great ones.

The Holidays bring happiness inmany ways, Christmas parties to attend,gifts to give and receive and of coursetime to spend with friends and family.

Winter Rodeo – In its Prime!

You wouldn’t think there would be verymuch “Dirt” to throw around and really,there isn’t. However, digging around, Imanaged to find a little.

Big news is the World Series of TeamRoping‘s recent Finale in Las Vegas duringNFR week. The WSTR Finale wasunbelievable. The amount of moneyawarded was second to none and even withthe big price tag to play, it was well worth itfor a chance to win that kind of money. Theevent brought out lots of action, however, italso brought out a lot of gossip about theWSTR and the USTRC using TRIAD as acommon classification system. Of coursethis was coming and it was only a matter oftime. Ropers are notorious for findingsomething to complain about and this is thenumber one topic at the moment.

I have heard many praises and concernsfrom ropers on the subject of classification.

JANUARY 2012 39

Top rodeo cowboy Trevor Brazile and the UnitedStates Marines teamed up with Western lifestyle

manufacturer Pro Equine Group to benefit the MarineToys For Tots Foundation’s charity during rodeo’schampionship competition - the Wrangler® NationalFinals of Rodeo - held annually in Las Vegas, Nevada.The Toys For Tots cause gives needy children a brighterholiday season. Brazile and three Marines launched theirMGM Grand donation site with an autograph signingand donation drive.

The event was coordinated by Western lifestylemanufacturer Pro Equine Group. In addition toRelentless™ merchandise - which is Brazile’s label - thecompany offers products through its Cactus Ropes,Cactus Saddlery, Fast Back Ropes, Heel-O-Matic andPro Equine Products family of brands.

ll-Around

From “The TRIAD system is a joke,”to “Arkie adjusted people by how wellhe knew them.” Now, as the systemmoves under one umbrella, you wouldthink there would a lot less of this, butoh, no – ropers still find things tocomplain about.

Most of today’s complaints come inthe way of age limits. Many want theWSTR to move the age limit to 30,keeping the kids and so-called wolvesout of the den. The USTRC is makingsomewhat of a move in this directionin the Gold Plus division, but Ipersonally don’t think it will make thatbig of a difference in either case. Iagree that in many cases it seems thatkids show up and take everyone’smoney at big events. However, if youlook at the overall picture, I think kidsjust stand out and are a scapegoat forropers losing. At any event, only ahandful of people are going to win anda lot more are going to be losers. Asthe majority, these voices echo a lotlouder than the small amount of

pass through unnoticed. I think this wasbecoming an issue for both the USTRC andWSTR which is one of the major reasonsfor the agreement being made to use asingle classification system.

I believe that there is a hurdle for theTRIAD system to get over. I know theUSTRC and WSTR are working hard toinput data from the past several years andropers should see the effect of thisthroughout the new season, no matter whichropings they attend.

As for the age deal – well, I like whatone roper said about it and believe he hadmerit. He said something along the lines ofgoing to an event prepared, knowing he hasthe opportunity to win because he hasworked hard in his preparation. Whether hewins or not is due to a lot of differentthings, such as his partner, cattle, arenaconditions and many others that really makethe sport the challenge that it is. Looking atthe whole picture, I believe ropers are beatmore often by their peers then by kids.

Lastly, I believe we could all learn fromthese kids who seem to rise to the top

quickly in the roping pen. Yeah, I haveheard it all — they are riding betterhorses that their parents bought forthem, they win because they are notnumbered correctly due to the lack ofdata and so on — and agree with thosefacts in a way. However, the one aspectthat is never brought up is their attitudeto the sport. They seem to have acarefree attitude and do not heed thepressure as much. Ropers who reallyexcel, no matter their age, are the oneswho carry these same attributes. So,next time you’re roping, throw a littlecaution to the wind, rope for fun anddon’t let the thought of having to winor needing to win blur your visionwhen you back into the box.

I look forward to seeing your nameat the top of some of this year’s bigevents and hope you find yourselfenjoying the sport more throughout this year.

Until next time – “Dirt” keep itunder your feet.

winners who happily skip back to theirtrucks and head home.

I also agree that TRIAD’s data collectionputs it just behind the eight ball in manycases where kids are concerned, but do anyof you remember just over a decade agowhen there was no TRIAD? There were alot more than just kids hiding out at smallerjackpots, honing their skills then coming outto the big arena and taking home the bigpayouts. I remember guys that roped a lotwere always on the lookout for potentialpartners they could take to the practice pen,teach them the best they could and then helpthem maneuver through the system to catcha big break at a major event. It happened allof the time.

TRIAD in my opinion works. It workedeven better when the USTRC was the onlygame in town. They could use the datacollected from all of the ropings that usedthe system. Then rolled in WSTR and theystarted their own classification system. Thisno doubt threw a kink in the TRIAD systemas they lost a lot of data collection fromropers, opening up the door for ropers to

Ak-Sar-Ben’s River City RodeoSigns Letter Of Intent to HostJustin Boots ChampionshipsThrough 2014The Professional Rodeo Cowboys

Association (PRCA) has signed a letter of intentwith Ak-Sar-Ben’s River City Rodeo & StockShow (ARCR) that aims to keep the JustinBoots Championships presented by Wrangler inOmaha for at least the next three years.The CenturyLink Center Omaha has been

the home of the championships since 2009,and prior to that ARCR hosted the SummerTour Championships. The Justin BootsChampionships feature the top 96 cowboysand cowgirls in the world standings andawards more than $662,000 in prize money.The 2012 Justin Boots Championships is

scheduled for September 27-29, 2012.“The Justin Boots Championships is

recognized as one of the top five premierrodeos in the PRCA,” said PRCACommissioner Karl Stressman. “A trifecta ofcredentials establishes this rodeo as one ofthe sport’s best - the contestants must be thetop twelve in the world in each event, prizemoney per performance tops other rodeos

outside of the Wrangler National Finals(WNFR), and the level of stock set it apart.”“ARCR and the City of Omaha are

honored to host this Championship event forthe PRCA. The committee and fans haveproven their dedication and support of thisevent and we look forward to continuing toprovide them with the best rodeoexperience,” said Paul Jessen, Chairman ofAk-Sar-Ben’s River City Rodeo & StockShow. “Annually, the ARCR has a $20million dollar-plus economic impact on theCity of Omaha and the Justin BootsChampionships provides national televisionexposure for Omaha.”The Justin Boots Championships serves

as the finale of the rodeo regular-season. In2011 alone, 84 of the 96 contestants thatcompeted in Omaha qualified for the NFR.In addition, this year the Justin BootsChampionships provided a ticket to LasVegas for three contestants who otherwisewould not have earned a trip to the Finals. Steer wrestler Blake Knowles of Heppner,

Ore., used the Championships as his steppingstone to the NFR in 2009 and again in 2011.He otherwise would not have qualified. “Thisis, as a competitor, what you love to do –show up at a place with a great venue, withtwelve of the best guys in the world, and seeyourself succeed,” says Knowles. Ak-Sar-Ben’s River City Rodeo & Stock

Show is an annual celebration of the region’sheritage that benefits and educates familiesand youth.

Back to back?The rest of the world now knows what

Kent Cox has known all along - Bushwackeris a World Champion Bull.“I’ve always thought of that bull as a

champion already,” said the bull’s handler,more than a month removed from the PBRWorld Finals, “so now he just proved it.“He truly is, and I guess there is a sense

of relief and a sense of accomplishment both.I always thought the bull was special and Ialways thought he deserved to be a WorldChampion. You just don’t ever know if it’sgoing to happen or not.”It didn’t happen in 2010 when Bones

seemingly came out of nowhere to win hissecond World Champion Bull title.Had he not been retired by owner Tom

Teague, Bones could have been in the mixwith Bushwacker and Asteroid, the top twobulls of the 2011 season, according to PBRLivestock Director Cody Lambert.Having come close in the past and not

won the title, Cox readily admits the outcomecould have gone either way in Las Vegas.Though he’s focused on the upcoming

Built Ford Tough Series, the much-talked-about bull handler paused when asked if thewin had actually set in. “It kind of has,” saidCox, who also experienced thedisappointment of defeat a few years earlierwhen Troubadour was poised to win the titleonly to lose out to Bones when he won thefirst of his two titles.“I definitely know what it feels like to get

beat at the Finals,” added Cox, who likenedthe final two outs of the season for bulls asgreat Bushwacker and Asteroid to acrapshoot in the casino.However, looking ahead to 2012, Cox

sees no reason why Bushwacker won’t be incontention again.He said the expectation is plain and

simple: “We’re going to try and repeat.”Bushwacker is currently in Texas with

him and will make his season debut in

Anaheim, Calif., and will likely be usedthroughout the West Coast run of events thatincludes Sacramento, Calif., and Portland,Ore.When asked about the chances that

Bushwacker will become only the third bullto win back-to-back titles and the first sinceLittle Yellow Jacket to win three straight,Cox said, “I expect him to.”“But like I said, it’s a long season and

weird things happen. Who knows?”In his first outing at the Finals,

Bushwacker was marked a career-high 48.5points in Round 3 before clinching the titlewith a 47.5-point effort in the Built FordTough Championship Round. Seven othertimes last year he was marked 46 points orhigher, and never less than 45.25 points.Only three riders got beyond 4 seconds in

2011, with Dustin Elliott coming the closestto making the whistle. He held on 6.57seconds in Pueblo, Colo., before comingdown short of the whistle.Bushwacker’s gone unridden since Thiago

Paguioto rode him for 89.75 points at the2009 World Finals two years ago.“I think barring injury, he’ll be in the

running again,” Cox said. “You’ve always got toleave that ‘barring injury’ in there because bullsthat buck as hard as he does, they get hurtsometimes. Heck, (I’m a) Gangster and MajorPayne were prime examples of it last year.”Bushwacker competed in 12 BFTS

events, the Finals and two Touring Pro events- four more BFTS events than Asteroid - andCox doesn’t see any reason to alter hisapproach in 2012.Instead he said that it makes him work

that much harder to keep the reigning WorldChampion Bull in shape and ready tocompete.Lambert recently said, “If(Bushwacker) keeps up what he’s done, he’llbe the best bull that we’ve ever seen. If hehas another year like he had last year - onemore year like that - I think he’ll go down inhistory as the best bull we’ve seen so far.“If he has two more years like that, I

don’t think that, I know that he’ll go down inhistory as the best bull we’ve ever seen.”When told of Lambert’s quote Cox

smiled. He knows Lambert well enough toknow what a compliment like that means.“I hate to say this out loud,” Cox said,

“but Cody has always been one of myheroes, even growing up. I really respectCody a bunch. I don’t always agree withwhat Cody thinks, but I respect him becauseI know that everything he does is for thebetterment of the PBR, I feel like.“I respect him a great deal, and for Cody to

say something like that, it means a lot to me.”

Sears Seals the Deal, Winning theAverage en route to her SecondWorld TitleBy Ted Harbin – Courtesy of WPRA

All Lindsay Sears needed to do onSaturday night was to round the cloverleafpattern clean inside the Thomas & MackCenter. She posted a blazing 13.75-second run to

finish second in the 10th go-round at theWrangler National Finals Rodeo and isleaving Las Vegas with her second MontanaSilversmiths gold buckle. “I didn’t think I needed to change my

game plan at all,” Sears said. “I don’t havesafetying-up in my vocabulary, and neitherdoes Martha.“I wouldn’t have been satisfied any other

way.”Sears finished with a cumulative time of

139.5 seconds through 10 nights in LasVegas, earning her first NFR average title.In all, she won $133,558 at the NFR,$45,865 coming from the aggregate payout.“That’s huge,” Sears said. “It’s something

I always wanted. It’s the first time I’vegotten around barrels all 10 rounds. I’mvery excited to have finally gotten that.”Jane Melby won the 10th round with a

13.71, earning her third go-round title in herfirst qualification to ProRodeo’schampionship event. She is the only barrelracer in the 15-woman field to have wonthree rounds, and in her first venture to theNevada desert, Melby won $59,712. “That’s a blessing itself to win that kind

of money,” she said. “Where else could yougo to run for it, let alone win it.” In 10 nights that featured many

overturned barrels, eight cowgirls postedclean runs on the final night of the 2011season. The downed barrels might be astrong indication of just how tight the racehas been for the ladies’ share of the $6million NFR purse. Just four cowgirls had sub 14-second

runs on Saturday night, but Melby led theway with her fastest run of the week on herterrific mount, RC Black In Black, byNinety Nine Goldmine out of Rabbit Redux.“She’s been outstanding,” Melby said of

Beauty, a 7-year-old black mare. “I did theright thing by giving her those two nightsoff in round 5 and 6, and she came backstrong. When you’ve got that much money

on the line, you hate to run the second-string horse, but you also have to do what’sbest for everybody involved.”

JANUARY 2012 63

Some suggest that I am living in thepast; that I’m too old fashioned. I’m

the first to admit that we have madeprogress and are a lot better at some thingsthan we used to be. As a society we are not as racist and women are finally getting the rights they should have had allalong. We’re more aware of ourenvironment and most of us don’t throwcandy wrappers or beer cans out the carwindow any more. However, this crazy old-fashioned guy thinks we’ve thrown thegood out with the bad. We’ve overdosed ontoo many things, from pop culture to pillsto political correctness.

I’m so old-fashioned I feel youshouldn’t buy something unless you havethe money to pay for it. How archaic isthat! And that goes for our government,too. I’m so stuck in my old ways that Ibelieve if you sign on the bottom line, ormake a handshake deal with someone, thenyou ought to honor your commitment. Ifeel strongly that if someone is paying youto work eight hours a day then you owethem eight hours of work, and youshouldn’t be talking on your cell phone fortwo hours of it.

I know I sound like my Grandpa when I say that thugs who murder, rape andkidnap little girls ought to be put to death.And the sooner the better. We shouldn’thave to support these beasts until they getout of prison or die. I’m not some WildWest vigilante but would a little commonsense and justice in our courts be too muchto ask?

These days, when obese people areroutinely getting lap band surgery, gastricbypasses and having their stomach shrunk,I admit I have some beliefs that seem ratherbackwards. For instance, I believe thatunless you have a glandular problem, if youget fat it could be your fault. Perhaps youare not a victim and McDonalds didn’tcause your obesity. Maybe you did. In mymother’s words, “You shouldn’t have letyour eyes overload your belly.” But thenperhaps I’m just overly sensitive about allthis because our lovely 23-year-old niecejust died as a result of the surgery.

I like cats and dogs as much as anybodyand feel a responsibility to treat them well,but shouldn’t we be just as concerned aboutthe rights of a taxpaying public landsrancher in Nevada than we are the rights ofa Lhasa Apso? I don’t think we shouldleave trust funds for pets, dress them indesigner clothes and jewelry and take themto doggie spas for pedicures, but if that’sthe way you want to spend your moneythat’s your business. But I also have theright to think you are nuttier than JamocaAlmond Fudge.

I’m so stuck in the past I don’t even talkright any more because I think an AfricanAmerican who was born in this country isno more African than I am a ChimpanzeeAmerican just because I may have had one

as an ancestor a few generations ago. If you are a citizen of this country you are an American. Period. And I loveMexican people as much as anyone,probably more, but illegal immigrants arestill ILLEGAL. I’m so out of touch I thinkour laws ought to be obeyed and enforced

every chance we get.I may be living in the past but I’d still

appreciate a little courtesy. Please turn offyour cell phone during our national anthemor a prayer. No one is that important. I’mold enough to remember when politepeople still said “Please” and “Thank You”and I feel that no matter how liberatedwe’ve become that a gentleman still offershis seat to a lady. And if I had a son whowas 28 years old and still living at homehe’d better be mentally or physicallyhandicapped, looking for a job, or studyingto be a doctor so he can one day take careof his mom and me.

I feel we were better citizens when wesaid the Pledge of Allegiance to start each

day and I’m so out-of-date that I can recallwhen the Constitution guaranteed our rights,not the political make-up of the SupremeCourt or the diplomats at the U.N.

I’m so old-fashioned that I still believethat what you do in your own home is yourbusiness, that farmers and ranchers areheroes, not villains, that you should respectyour elders, buy locally and not talk withyour mouth full. I think government has nobusiness in business.

I hope I’m not offending anyone or being politically incorrect when I say thatold is not always wrong, and new is notalways better.
