For the first time in a long while, its feels likethings are beginning to get back to normal. With

the first summer holiday in the rear view, it seems likepeople are traveling again. It’s been a tough few yearsfor our sports, so it’s great to see things heading in theright direction.

One of the sure signs that things are turning is thatI’ve run across ropers and rodeo athletes over the pastmonth or so, who, in the regular course ofconversation, begin to give me their take on the evilsof producers and stock contractors. .Ahhh…things aretruly returning to normal.

Like many other times, these conversationsgenerally begin innocuous enough, “I went here orthere,” “I NEARLY placed in this or that,” “I’m goingto this or that event”…all good…but then it comes.“You should write an article about producer X, orcontractor Y, and tell everyone how sorry their cattlewere, or their runaway buckin’ horses, or how bad thepayout was,” …etc. …until it ultimately culminateswith assertions that, as they struggle to afford to go toevents, producer X and contractor Y are getting rich.

Okay…..times are tough…it’s costly to travel,entry fees are always going to be higher than we wantto pay, and payouts are never going to be as good aswe think they should be….that’s just the way it’sALWAYS going to be.

Yes I know there was a time…through incrediblybad judgment….when there have been producers whowheeled around the country in $200,000-plus motorhomes, or $100,000-plus horse trailers, putting onevents. It was hard for the guys putting up their entryfees not to notice, and the bad taste it left in a lot ofmouths was understandable to a large extent.

……BUT THOSE DAYS ARE PAST!Production costs have exploded over the past

decade or so. It’s been tough on producers andcontractors of all the rodeo disciplines and especiallytough on team roping producers.

That’s not to say that rodeo contractors have hadan easy go of it. Frankly, I don’t know how any of

them have EVER made a living. But because thedynamics of the industry allows production costs ofevents to be pretty much renegotiated every year.They have at least some recourse with regards tomanaging the ever-increasing costs. Team ropingproducers however, have been in a bad spot for some time.

Can anyone even remember when the standardproducer cut of an event WASN’T one-third? I’mbeing completely serious….I can’t!

Of course there have been (and are) exceptions,but these exceptions are only possible through hemanipulation of the problem, mathematically. That is,by raising the entry fee of an event so that thepercentage of the producers stake is based on a largeramount. In other words, 33% of a $60 entry fee,means the producer gets $20, whereas 25% of a $100entry fees means the producer gets $25.

It’s been a good trick, but it’s more than just atrick…. It’s been a survival technique. The truth isthat it’s largely provided the only way for a lot ofproducers to survive in the business at all.

Consider this, 20 years ago, when ropingproducers were operating on the 1/3 standard, gas was$1.20 / gal. The average cost of a home was about$125K, a new crew cab pickup was about $26k, and#1 - 400# Corrientes were topping out at $400/head.You could run a whole arena crew and office staff for$300/day (or less).

And ask yourself this. When was the last time youeven saw a $100/man, 12x12, Round-Robinadvertised? You know why? …BECAUSE THEYDON’T’ WORK! It’s not because they weren’tpopular. If a producer were to host that kind of eventtoday, they would be run over with ropers trying toget entered. They don’t do it because they CANT’!

I completely understand the economic straineveryone is currently under. But you have to cut allthose producers who have still managed to stay inbusiness some slack. None of them are rolling highon the hog these days. If anything, they deserve tomake a little profit….Yeah…I said it.

The fact is….producers/contractors aren’t doingwhat they do because those who compete are socharming and great to be around. They not only haveREAL expenses they have to cover, the endeavorneeds to be worth their while. You think you miss

those good, ole-fashioned,Round-Robins? That’s just aglimpse at what you might bemissing down the road….so….……Cut your local producerssome slack…. or at least say,“Thank You”, once in a while.

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

It’s official – the Reno Livestock

Events Center has become “the

house that Clay built.”

On June 18 at the 35th Annual BobFeist Invitational roping in Reno, Nev., notonly did 33-year-old Clay Tryan out-ropethe 100-team field for the record third timein his career, but the $120,000 he split withpartner Travis Graves also made him thenew highest-earning BFI roper in history.

“I’ve had the goal to win the BFI fivetimes ever since I won it twice,” saidTryan, a Montana native who also won thePRCA’s world championship in 2005.“But I don’t rope to win – my strategy isto rope a good roping. I just want to havea shot at it.”

Tryan and Graves were the high teamback in the short round, which earnedthem free entry fees into the 2013 MikeCervi Jr. Memorial Roping in February.They needed an 8.68 for the win and cametight in 7.30 to earn $60,000 per man.While Tryan previously won the BFI in2005 and 2008, it was the first win forGraves, his partner of three years. The pairalso rode off with dozens of prizesincluding custom Running P saddles andhalters, custom Myler bits, MontanaSilversmith trophy buckles, Classicheadstalls and Justin boots.

The cash comes at the perfect time forGraves, who recently built a new home inTexas with wife Tamika. She’s due todeliver a baby boy in November. As forTryan, he may use it on a new home, too,or on the 4- and 6-year-old boys he’s

raising with his wife, Bobbie. “It was a weird day,” said Tryan of

the six-steer classic, in which just 37of the 100 teams connected on theirfirst three steers. “We didn’t doanything dramatic. We made virtuallythe exact same run on all six steers.”

Indeed – they clocked times of7.74, 7.48, 7.58, 7.21, 8.06 and 7.30to edge reserve champions Riley andBrady Minor by about a second and ahalf. Their aggregate time was theseventh fastest in the BFI’s 35 years.

The Minor boys earned $42,000apiece and prizes for second, whilethird went to Tom Richards and NickSarchett for $25,500 a man andprizes. Manny Cunde and Brad Culpepperplaced fourth to earn $16,500 apiece plus prizes.

Short-round heartbreak was ColbyLovell’s when an illegal head catch costthe third-high-back header and his partnerRussell Cardoza exactly $46,000.Accolades were earned by young gunsJake and Clay O Smith, who bested theirnamesakes by roping well all day at theirfirst BFI. And if anybody cowboyed up atthe BFI, it was Jett Hillman, who finishedthe roping in the top 10 just two daysafter ripping apart his left rotator cuff.Despite the pain and weakness in his reinhand, he earned $4,500. An MRI wasscheduled the day after the BFI, andlikely surgery thereafter.

Tryan rode to the win on his faithful13-year-old gelding, Dew. The horse didn’tmake one rodeo run in all of May and June

Tryan And Graves Dominate 35th Annual BFI In Reno


as Tryan prepared him specifically for theBFI. Graves estimated the pair practiced on40 to 50 steers a day under BFI conditions.Tryan’s third horse, Funky Town, carriedDaniel Green to a $10,500 payday for fifthin the roping with Cody Cowden.

Graves is no slouch on horsepower,either. His 18-year-old gelding, Superstar,was the 2008 BFI Horse of the Year andworked flawlessly in 2012, too.

“I backed in there and was justthinking, ‘Do what you’ve done all day,’”said Graves. “’Finish it.’”

The Minors had definitely applied someheat. Despite a 10-second run in the thirdround, they battled back to nearly win theroping just a few weeks after Riley’srecovery from a badly broken leg.

“It’s still a little weak,” said Riley, whospent nine weeks rehabilitating the leg. “Istill can’t ride quite as good as I used to.”

But the brothers’ biggest problem washow to fit all their loot in their trailer –including three trophy saddles. Riley’s 9-year-old gelding, Ketchup, was chosen BFIHead Horse of the Year. Riley had tradedTanner Bryson for the horse in February,immediately won $12,000 at the MikeCervi Memorial – and then broke his leg.

As for Brady, he rode an unseasoned 8-year-old chestnut he calls Ray that hebought from Dean Tuftin.

“That horse proved himself today,” saidBrady. “He hadn’t been taking the crowdsreal well, and he acted like we were athome today. You’re fixing to see me on thathorse a lot.”

The BFI Heel Horse of the Year titlewent to Brad Culpepper’s little palomino


tobiano Paint gelding, Preacher. The 13-year-old horse was purchased unbroke years ago by Culpepper’s fatherfor $800 from a country preacher (hencethe nickname).

The BFI is held annually in conjunctionwith the outdoor “Wildest, Richest Rodeoin the West” in Reno (performances thisyear were held June 14-23). Announcers atthe BFI were Reed Flake, Darren Mooreand Dru Stewart, while Philip Murrahflagged the roping and Steve Branco andDanny Martinez served as line judges.

In addition to the Silver Legacy ResortCasino, which is the official headquartersof the BFI, 2012 sponsors includeWrangler, Justin Boots, Ram Rodeo,Priefert Ranch Equipment, Cactus Ropes,Running P Ropes and Saddles, Resistol,Reno Rodeo, Ropes Galore, ClassicRopes, Coats Saddlery, B&W TrailerHitches, Cactus Saddlery, Lazy “L”Saddles, Ropers Sports News, Best EverPads, Pendleton Whisky, Boot Barn, D-MWestern Store, Cinderella Roping Horses,Lubrisyn, Heel-O-Matic, Mike CerviMemorial Team Roping, Myler Bits,Montana Silversmiths, Silver LiningHerbs, TotalTeamRoping.com, TolaniLake Roping and Western Horseman.

VS Hits New Mexico

Two horses in Otero County, New Mexicotested positive for the reportable disease

vesicular stomatitis on April 30 and wasconfirmed May 1, by the USDA. was the firstconfirmation of VSV in the U.S. since the June2010 outbreak in Cochise County, Arizona.

The USDA and the New Mexico LivestockBoard initiated an epidemiologicalinvestigation, and the farm went underquarantine. Three other unaffected horseslocated on the index premises were alsoisolated from the positive animals. As of May31 the quarantine for Vesicular Stomatitis inOtero County was been lifted but a new casewas recently been detected in Valencia county.The new VS cases were located in the town ofPeralta, just south of Albuquerque. This secondcase represents a northern movement of thevirus that has been typical in past years and theprimary spread of VS is thought to occurthrough insect vectors that migrate along rivervalleys, such as the Rio Grande River.

With this second case confirmed, the NewMexico Livestock Board is requiring that alllivestock leaving Valencia must have an


inspection by a New Mexico Livestock Boardinspector if moving within the state of NewMexico. In addition, all livestock traveling toany event across the state must obtain aVeterinary Inspection, (CVI) within seven daysof transport as well as brand inspections. Thosetraveling outside of the state also needcertification and brand documentation.Additional information about these recentoutbreaks and certificate information withspecific wording for traveling inside the stateof New Mexico, as well as those traveling outof state can be found on the New MexicoLivestock Board website,www.nmlbonline.com.

Horse owners in the surrounding counties,including Soccorro, Bernalillo and Santa Fe, aswell as areas in route from Albuquerque,northward into Colorado along the Rio GrandeValley need to be aware of the outbreak andencouraged to keep close attention to their

horses and report any possible threats of thedisease to the New Mexico Livestock Board.You should also be in contact with your localveterinarian for important information on VSin your area.

Vesicular Stomatitis is a viral disease thatprimarily affects cattle, horses, and swine.Symptoms in horses include blister-likelesions in the mouth, tongue, lips and nose, aswell as along the coronary band and on theudder or sheath. Humans can also becomeinfected with the disease when handlingaffected animals, but this is rare. Flies arebelieved to be a vector in the spread of VS,and the virus can be transmitted throughshared equipment such as bridles or buckets.Livestock owners are advised to control fliesin order to minimize transmission of thedisease and to be cautious with feedingequipment, cleaning tools or health careequipment from other herds.

Since the original writing of this article, there have been more reported cases of Vesicular Stomatitis (VS)

To date, 11 premises are now under quarantine. The counties of Otero,Valencia, Socorro and San Miguel have confirmed positive VS cases. Thecounties of Dona Ana and Roosevelt have also had suspect cases. The counties of Bernalillo and Santa Fe are considered high risk for cases of VS.

Please consult with you veterinarian or find out more by going to the NM Livestock Board website at www.nmlbonline.com.

Earlier this year the USTRC madesome changes to the Priefert US

Open Tour. The decision was made toinclude some major Open Team RopingEvents as part of the tour and theprogram. After discussions with theproducers of these great events it wasconfirmed that six major Open Ropingswould come on board with the Priefert USOpen Tour Championships. The SandHillsClassic, Wild Fire Open to the World,Mike Cervi Memorial, James Pickens Jr.Foundation Team Roping, Windy RyonMemorial and the Bob Feist Invitationalwas welcomed in. These events arecertainly some of the most prestigious andwell attended Open events.

The ropings all fit together like a pairof classy silk gloves that are indicative ofthe caliber of ropers that choose toparticipate. Bringing together an elitegroup focused on the Prefeirt Open Tourthere is a mission in mind and ropersrelish the opportunity the tour offers.

BradyTryan an Bronc Cresta placed second inthe average with a time of 46.72 on sixhead of steers to pocket $27,500.

The Mike Cervi Memorial TeamRoping was next on the agenda. Theevent took place at the Casa GrandeRodeo Grounds in Casa Grande,Arizona on February 21, 2012.

Invitational Team Roping Classic, heldin conjunction with the Sandhills PRCArodeo, is often referred to as thejumping off point for the New Year forprofessional ropers. Held in the EctorCounty Coliseum in Odessa, Texas onJanuary 20, 2012, the SandHills Classicis an all day event that caters to thoseropers who choose to participate inhopes of setting a winning standard fora new roping season.

Eric Rogers and Kory Koontz wonthe average at the SandHills Classicwith a time of 30.33 on five head ofsteers to pocket $15,805 along with avery prestigious prizeline.

Although the National All AmateursTeam Roping Tour, with its owner

Ty Yost is once again spending thesummer months up north, Arizonaropers can look forward to the Tour’sreturn next fall full of new formats andsurprises. An all-new website facelift(naateamroping.com), complete withvideo and even more content has theNAATRT attracting more attention,while the Tour itself is expanding andoffering more to team ropers.The big news of the NAATRT is the

introduction of the new MegaBucksropings. Although the Tour event hasalways attracted ropers with lower feeropings and will continue to offer thesetypes of ropings, the new MegaBucksroping increases the fees, opening thedoor for ropers to win more money inevents with less teams. In Ty’s words hesays, “I realize that this format isn’t foreveryone, but I also know that are a fewof our members who want to havehigher entry fees and fewer teams tocompete against.”The new MegaBucks roping is

already underway throughout thenorthern states where Yost spends hissummers, but the good news for Arizonaropers is that this Fall, with his return toArizona, all of the kinks should beworked out and the format should be aredi-made fit for ropers who enjoy thesetypes of events.

Heading back into the website, thenew format is really cool. Although itmay lack all of the glitz and shimmers ofsome sites ropers head to often, theinformation for the NAATRT iscomplete, offering easy navigation,plenty of information on upcomingevents, event results and updates onchanges and additions to the Tour andropings. Additionally, the site hasintriguing information and commentaryfrom Yost about things happening insidethe sport of team roping. He hits hot

Living historian, author and superbhorseman, Lee Anderson, is a student -

shall we say master - of the old Vaquero“Bridle Horse” methods. He jokingly admits,“I am probably the only Swedish vaqueroyou’ll ever meet.”Born in Iowa, Lee has had a life-long

affection for horses. He has ridden and trainedin just about every genre of horsemanship,from Western to English and from the showring to the pasture. He can drive two, four, sixand even an eight-up team hitched to a wagon!He has trained and shown in reining, pleasureand trail and also worked with dressage,hackney, jumpers and of course, the Westerncow-horse. His passion however, is the “Bridle Horse.”For those who aren’t quite sure what a

“Bridle Horse” is, it refers to a horse trained inthe old Vaquero methods — methods not seenmuch in this country for 100-plus years. Alayman will recognize a bridle horse as onewhich eventually ends up in the use of a spadebit. Many people are taken aback by the spadeand automatically assume it is a harsh bitbased upon its appearance. Not true. In thewrong hands, any bit is harsh. Lee quotes, “Allsouls criticize that which they do notunderstand.” A horse trained in this methodresponds to a feather’s touch of the reins.In the hands of a true bridle horseman, a

well-trained bridle horse is pure poetry inmotion. For example, it has been recorded thatthe old Vaqueros were big sportsman and lovedto show off at festive occasions. One suchgame played went something like this: A hairwas plucked from the horse’s tail and the


“breakaway” in the reins was replaced withsaid tail hair. This meant if you pulled anyharder than necessary to break the hair, yourreins broke. The horse was then blindfoldedand put through a series of intricate moves,showing its pure trust in the rider. For thefinale, horse and rider ran full-tilt, straight at asolid wall. The team stopping closest to thewall, without hitting the wall or breaking the“breakaway hair” was the winner and theVaquero considered a top horseman. (Beforecriticizing a contest such as this, keep in mindit was a different time, place and culture.)When asked why old methods such as these

are fading, Lee responds, “In today’s day andage, not many are willing to spend half alifetime learning the proper methods ofhorsemanship so they can spend four or fiveyears training a horse this way.” Lee ispassionate about it however and says, “It’s likedriving a high performance sports car.Whatever you want is there…and at a touch.To a learned master such as Lee, he

realizes every piece of the horseman andhorse’s gear work intricately together toachieve an eventual result with the slightest ofeffort. He says, “The spade is a bit of signals.When properly used, a horse receives signalslong before he ever feels the bit and respondsbefore the bit is ever actually used.” Each pieceof the tack and gear are a part of that signalsystem, not to mention the rider himself. Leecan pull the bridle off his horse and performintricate maneuvers using nothing more thanbody language. Anderson uses a piece of stringas a “breakaway” in his reins every day. Muchlike the old Vaqueros and their horsehair, if heuses more than just a slight tap of pressure onthe reins, they break!After many years of being fascinated with

horses, Lee chose to concentrate on this oldstyle of horsemanship because he felt it mostin tune with the horse. After a lifetime ofstudying what makes a horse tick, Andersonhas even written a book on the subject.Developing the Art of Equine Communicationsis all about how to communicate with yourhorse, from a horse’s understanding and pointof view. In Lee’s opinion, the bridle horse styleof horsemanship comes closest to that.He studied horses and how they react to

certain situations for over half a century. Henoticed that most times, communications with a horse are approached from a humanpoint of view, yet a horse can only understandthings from a horse’s viewpoint. Lee has made

it his life’s work to understand more from thehorse’s view.Lee has been known to spend hours sitting

in a pasture full of horses just watching them.He studies their moves with each other innatural surroundings - how they interacttogether. Most people know, by nature, a horseis a “prey” animal, but few think of that whendealing with a horse. Man is, by nature, apredator and horses are easily scared of them.Lee is probably one of the best modern-daytrainers who understand the philosophy of ahorse, from the horse’s perspective. He feltcompelled to write Developing the Art ofEquine Communications to clear up some ofthe myths and misinformation out there.As a historian, Lee does a presentation

called Four Hundred Years of SouthwestCowboys. He does this in any one of threedifferent outfits: A 1750 Spanish ColonialCaballero, an 1850 Mexican Vaquero or an1890 American Cowboy. For each look, he hasall of the period correct clothing and gear forrider and horse. The outfit may changedepending upon what the situation calls for,but the historical presentation is tailored to fitwhat the client asks for. Lee goes over theevolution of the cowboy from its origins,beginning with the Spanish Hacendado(rancher) of the mid-1500s up through today.The first brand laws were recorded in NewSpain (now Mexico) in 1529 and Lee is wellversed in the history of the Vaquero - Cowboyfrom then through today.Lee says, “We must include the Spanish

origins in the history of the cowboy becausethe Vaquero was rounding up, roping, andbranding cattle more than 300 years before the first American cowboy ever threw a legover a horse. By 1800 a highly sophisticatedVaquero culture had reached its peak in what is now the state of California. To this day, no mounted herdsman on earth has ever

The bow


achieved the elegance, the presence, thebeautiful equipment, the exquisitehorsemanship or the sheer artistry of theeveryday working “Californio.”

He has spent much time and research ingetting his outfits correct for each time periodas well. Everything Lee puts on he and hishorse is either an authentic antique piece or areproduction from the period, made by Leehimself. He says, “The Vaquero was a flashydresser. He was extremely proud of his statusamongst his peers. Then, due to the influenceof the emerging American Cowboy culture the

Mexican Vaquero lost quite a bit of the elegance and finesse ofthe Spanish Colonial Vaquero but he never fully accepted allof the trappings and methods of the American cowboyculture…these things are covered at length in myapresentation. The heyday of the American Cowboy onlycovered about 20 years… The modern image of the cowboy isloosely based on the drovers that made the three month long(cattle) drives. Thecowboy most people arefamiliar with today ispurely a Hollywoodcreation. However, mypreference just happensto be the real cowboysand I am well aware ofthe difference between ‘reel cowboys’ and ‘real cowboys.’”

Besides having alife-long passion forunderstanding what makes a horse tick, and thehistory of the cowboy, Anderson is a study of humannature as well. He is extremely good-natured and hasa wry sense of humor. Lee claims, “I intend to live tobe 125 and not die from natural causes, but at thehands of a thirty-year-old, jealous spouse!” You gottalove a man past seventy with an attitude like that!

The biggest name to hitthe top of the pages in recent months isSally Jane Brown. She has edged acomfortable lead in the GCPRA breakawayroping event, with a little more than a$1,200 cushion between her and secondplace in the standings. Brown added to herwinning at two recent GCPRA events,including a breakaway win at the VerdeValley Fair and Rodeo in Cottonwood, aswell as a fourth and fifth place split at the

Copper Dust Stampede in Globe. Alsohitting the winning ways in Arizona isbareback rider Tony Buckman.

Pedro Maestas and took home second placewith heeler, Diego Castillo. In the NewMexico bareback riding event, a namecontinues to appear inside the standings atdifferent events. Zach Nugent may be arookie to the field of tough bareback riders, but his continuing statement atevents has him clawing his way up theranks of the standings.

Lastly, who can reject calf roper, KyleDutton of any recognition? He filled thepages in last months issue of The All-Around with a big win at the Joes BootShop roping in the Open tiedown event andthe Chuck Sheppard Memorial event, wherehe took top honors as well. Dutton, a LosLunas, New Mexico cowboy has long beena tough competitor in the tiedown roping

and seeing his name among two big eventsin the same month give him credibility as aone of the Southwest’s current stars.

Turning attention to the All IndiansRodeo Cowboys Association, AIRCA, theevent standings are tight. The biggest leadsare in the Open events, both on the headerand heeler side of things. Looking at theheaders, the name Sells claims both thenumber one and two positions in thestandings. Marco Sells sits at the numberone spot about $600 in front of ChuckSells. For AIRCA heelers. O.J. Williamshas a little bit more of a cushion in thenumber one slot in the standings. His$4,162 gives him a little more than a$1,100 lead over long time team ropingveteran, Victor Begay.

the weekend is full of fun activities andcelebration. From there, contestants candrive about 50 miles to attend this year’s57th Annual Smokey Bear StampedeRodeo that kicks into gear at 7 p.m. eachday from July 4 through the 7th. Nodoubt, being able to attend 8 differentperformances at two different rodeos in amatter of a few days makes this one greatplace if you are a rodeo cowboy orcowgirls wanting to make a big weekendout of the July 4.

The AIRCA also has an event that willbe played out over the long July 4thweekend. It will be hosted in Chinle,Arizona on July 6-7, 2012.

Tobey–Well, this month I come to you all with a

heavy heart. Although my family and I havenot been present at too many Jr. rodeos thisyear, we have continued to keep our littlestring of horses tuned up in anticipation ofour return this fall. However, the next rodeowe head to we will be short one little brownhorse who has made quite a name for himselfacross the state of New Mexico. Tobey, whowe picked up several years ago from a friend,has taken two of my boys to championshipstatus over the past couple of years. They bothwon saddles on this little horse and throughthat time we have met a lot of people whoknew Tobey by sight, maybe from pastownership when he took their children to thepay window or by others who knew the littlehorse just from his presence across the Jr.rodeo world for many years.For everyone who owned Tobey or had a

chance to ride him at a rodeo, you can’tdeny how great he was. He may not havebeen the fastest horse in the field, butconsistency was his game. His biggestaccomplishment, however, was sort ofhidden under his brown hair. It was hisability to give his riders courage and buildtheir confidence inside the rodeo arena.

For those kids who grew up on the backof Tobey over the years, I am sure there issomething special you can remember. Hislove of cherry licorice, his little dance at thebeginning of a run inside the arena, ormaybe just his kind eye when brushing him,Tobey truly cared for those who rode andcared for him.On Monday, June 18, Tobey was found

lying motionless in his pen. No sign ofstruggle, nothing out of the ordinary, just ahorse lying next to the fence that separatedhim from his stable mate friend. My boysfound it hard to understand that Tobey hadpassed and tears were either swallowed hardor shed down their cheeks throughout theday as we took Tobey to his final restingplace on a ranch under some pinon trees.Thinking back today, I want to thank

Tobey for all of the great memories he gaveme. His jog to the trailer, and up and in whenit was time to rodeo, the strength andadrenaline he showed every time you walkedinto the arena, the easy feeling of knowing hewas going to take care of my boys and mostof all, his help to bring my family together atdifferent rodeo events. These are things I willnever forget and always cherish.

Until Next time – “Dirt – Keep it under Your Feet”

MONTH-APRIL 2012 BUILT BY MARCE IN HOUSE PROOF CRX’D

Continued from page 80


Ilike to fix stuff that’s broken. In that regard, I should havebeen a mechanic or a marriage counselor. My antique dealer

friends, who bring their broken things to me to fix, say that ifyou want to get me to pay more for something, just break it.One of my latest fixes was a Circle Y saddle that Cowboy

Mike purchased and brought to me to repair. We call himCowboy Mike because, as a picker, he specializes in cowboystuff; not because he ropes steers or lives like a hermit in a line shack.I happen to like Circle Y saddles so I was brokenhearted to

see the one Cowboy Mike purchased at a yard sale real cheap. It was a custom saddle covered in chrome, with well tooledtapaderos hanging from its fenders. It showed hardly any signsof use or mistreatment except for a silver-dollar-size hole rightin the middle of the padded seat. That’s why it was so cheap.My guess is that a mouse probably liked Circle Y saddles tooand started munching on this one in its softest spot.Like most people, Mike wanted me to fix the saddle but

didn’t want to spend a lot of money. This ruled out taking theintricate saddle apart, putting in a new seat and rebuilding it, soI did a patch job, matching the color and stitch style to the bestof my ability. I dare say, when I was done you could hardly tellwhere it had been patched and Mike was so pleased he gave mea $20 bonus!On the same day another dealer friend of mine, also named

Mike, brought me a pair of spurs to repair that he’d just boughtat a swap meet. The spurs looked old and were in the earlyCalifornia vaquero style so popular today amongst collectors.Mike was looking to make a 1,000% return on his cheappurchase price, or he just might keep them for his owncollection, he liked them so much.In the course of fixing the spurs I thought I saw the faint

outline of a maker’s mark so, with some very fine steel wooland WD40, I uncovered what looked like a “C” under the rust,then an “H” and then an “I”. It was at this point that I startedto get a bad feeling. Next I uncovered a faint “N” and finally an“A”. That’s right, the antique collectible spurs in the “Californiastyle” had been made in CHINA! By CHINESE!! Maybe evenlast month!!!Now I had a real dilemma on my hands. Mike is the nicest

guy I know and I didn’t want to embarrass him, nor did I wantto hurt his feelings because he’d made such a boneheadedmistake. If word of this ever got out in the picker communityhe’d never live it down. What should I do? I could file the word“China” off, but as a purist I felt that wasn’t right. On the other

hand, Mike is a sensitive individual and Ididn’t want to do anything to harm our valuedfriendship. So I told him I really liked the spurstoo and asked if he’d consider trading them tome for a genuine pair of Crockett spurs. Hereluctantly agreed and made it clear that it wasonly because we were so close that he’d do the

deal. So I gave him a nice pair from my collection and cut upthe Chinese reproductions and threw them away in order to savehim any embarrassment.Last week we were all standing around prior to an estate sale

when un-cowboy-like Mike gathered up all the pickers to makethe announcement that he’d tricked the so-called cowboy expert(that would be me) and got a pair of Crocketts for a worthlesspair made in CHINA! By CHINESE!! Probably last month!!!The rascal had known all along. My reputation was ruined and I thought the least that

Cowboy Mike could have done at the time was come to mydefense by saying what an expert job I’d done on his saddle. Butno, he stood there and laughed at me like all the rest. Ha, ha,what an idiot Pitts is.There are many morals to this true story such as: “Honesty

is the best policy.” Or, “You are judged by the company youkeep.” But I think the best lesson I learned from thishumiliating experience was simply this: “DON’T have friendsnamed Mike.”
