Owens finds success as easy as ABC over Easter weekend
LUBBOCK, Texas – The chemistry test is going to have to wait.
In a head-spinning 72-hour span, Tarleton State saddle bronc rider Tate Owens won the ABC Pro Rodeo at the City Bank Coliseum and found out he’d gotten a spot in the Dodge National Circuit Finals Rodeo.
Instead of going back to class in Stephenville, Texas, this week, Owens has a flight to Pocatello tomorrow morning for a shot at his share of the $500,000 DNCFR purse, using part of his Lubbock winnings to book the flight.
“I was OK in that (money) department,” Owens said, “but every little bit helps.”
What he describes as a “blessed” weekend began April 1 with a career-high 86-point ride on Beutler & Son Rodeo Company’s No Date Kate, a converted bareback horse that was making only her second outing in a saddle bronc riding competition.
“I was told she was a strong horse,” said Owens, of Platteville, Colo., “and I can’t argue. It was a jam-up horse.”
A day later, while competing at a 16-team college rodeo in Snyder, Texas, Owens got the call from Mountain States Circuit President Tom Glause that let him know a spot had opened up in the DNCFR. Seth Glause (Tom’s son) had suffered a groin injury in Austin, Texas, and withdrawn from the national championships.
On April 3, while Owens was waiting to ride in the short round at Snyder and to find out if his score in Lubbock had held up for the win – he finished five points ahead of runner-up Jace Garrett – Owens got busy on the phone and online.
He booked his flight to Pocatello, canceled his flight next Sunday to the rodeo in Logandale, Nev., and notified all of his professors that he was going to need some time out of class. He even negotiated a delay for his chemistry exam.
“It is just such a great opportunity,” Owens said.
Owens’ $1,223 check for winning the ABC Pro Rodeo lifted him from 27th to 24th place in the world standings, jumping him past 2008 World Champion Cody Wright, among others.
The other champions in Lubbock were bareback rider Jared Smith (88 points), steer wrestler Sam Koenig (10.0 seconds on two head), team ropers Preston Billadeau and Kenneth Beaty (13.3 seconds on two head), tie-down roper Trent Walls (17.3 seconds on two head), barrel racer Layna Kight (14.31 seconds) and bull rider Scottie Knapp (89 points).

Rodeo News and Notes
Stanton featured in art project at Will Rogers Coliseum
Kenny Stanton, a 15-time National Finals Rodeo qualifier as a bull rider and bareback rider, will be featured in an iconic 33-by-9-foot glass-and-porcelain tile mosaic on the new Western Heritage parking garage located at the Will Rogers Coliseum in Fort Worth, Texas.
Artist Mike Mandel from the Boston area was commissioned to execute the art project which will feature six images meant to capture the spirit of Fort Worth’s heritage. The project is estimated to be completed by the middle of next month.
Stanton’s image was taken from a photo at the 1965 Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo in which he was riding stock contractor Tommy Steiner’s bull No. 19.
Pendleton (Ore.) Round-Up history lives within its grand marshals
The Pendleton (Ore.) Round-Up’s Westward Ho! Parade will be led by five men who represent families with 100 years of involvement with the rodeo. Jim Rosenberg, the oldest living president of the Round-Up Association, will mount up with Bill Burke, Gary Burke, Jesse Jones Jr. and Carl Sampson – the four chiefs of the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation – to lead the centennial procession on Sept. 17.
The five men were introduced to the Round-Up and Happy Canyon Board of Directors April 3 at the annual Introduction Party held at Wildhorse Resort & Casino.
“When I look at these five men, one word comes to mind: greatness,” Round-Up Director Billy Lorenzen said. “I’m flattered and humbled that I am in the company of such greatness. As a small child, I remember my father always spoke of all of them with the utmost respect.”
First saddle bronc riding champion at Calgary Stampede honored
Tom Three Persons, the winner of the first Calgary Stampede saddle bronc riding competition in 1912, will be among a dozen new members inducted into the Lethbridge (Alberta) Sports Hall of Fame at its annual banquet on May 1.
After a lengthy competitive career, Three Persons became a wealthy rancher on the Blood Tribe reservation raising Hereford cattle, thoroughbred horses and supplying bucking stock to rodeos in southern Alberta until his death in 1949.
He was inducted into the Canadian Professional Rodeo Hall of Fame in 1983.
Economic impact of San Angelo (Texas) Rodeo may surpass $30 million
Estimates for the economic impact to the San Angelo, Texas, metro area from this year’s San Angelo Stock Show & Rodeo are expected to surpass $30 million.
The 10-day event in February drew a record number of stock show entries – nearly 10,300 – and had what is believed to be the largest field of rodeo competitors this season for a PRCA rodeo, said Justin Jonas, executive director of the San Angelo Stock Show & Rodeo Association.
“There’s no doubt we should be able to hit $30 million impact,” Jonas said.
“Last year we were at $26 million, and attendance for the events only grew.”
Jonas said there has been an upward trend of the economic impact to the city since 2007 because of the passing of the half-cent sales tax in 2004. The new buildings near the San Angelo Coliseum have allowed the stock show to increase its numbers, rivaling entry numbers from San Antonio and Houston – two of the biggest stock shows in the nation.
