Page 10 of 14 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 | Next 10>> COMMENTARY: Cowboy crunch time[Sep. 12, 2007] ELLENSBURG — I know there are three more weeks of rodeo before the season ends. Within those three weeks Pendleton, Albuquerque, Amarillo dot the schedule, all three top 50 rodeos with Pendleton being one of the biggest of the summer. Certainly the biggest in the Northwest.
But there’s got to be some guys getting a bit anxious if they’re on the outside looking in.
Perusing through the world standings I notice that Rich Skelton (18th, heeling), Billy Etbauer (17th, saddle bronc), Doug Pharr and Brad Goodrich (18th and 19th, tie-down) and Molly Powell and Sherry Cervi (18th and 20th, barrels) all haven’t shored up their December NFR schedule. Each could win enough over the next couple of weekends to more than solidify a trip to the NFR. Rodeo Insider - There's big business in those cash cows[Sep. 11, 2007] The prospective bucking bull business has become a niche for Foutch, whose parents (Marty and Michele) head up the National Bucking Bull Association, which conducted its national buck-out show and sale last weekend at the Will Rogers Memorial Center.
New Jersey Rodeo Has Roped in Fans for 50 Years[Sep. 7, 2007] When you think of rodeo, you may think of Texas or Wyoming. But for decades, a New Jersey family has run a popular rodeo at a place called Cowtown. In fact, it's just a few miles from Exit 1 on the turnpike.
Sweethearts of the rodeo[Aug. 30, 2007] Cooking supper every night for the crew, hauling horses, bulls, chutes, gates, hay and grain, juggling saddles, stirrups and bridles -- you collect a lot of living in 30-plus years.
Rodeos are an important part of Oklahoma heritage[Aug. 26, 2007] Romans pitted one gladiator against another or against beasts; the Spanish celebrate the courage of a matador battling a bull. As we celebrate Oklahoma’s heritage in this centennial year, Oklahomans enjoy watching a sport unique to our country that showcases the skills of the Old West.
Rodeo Insider - Decatur roper's goal just got a bit closer[Aug. 23, 2007] Clint Cooper qualified for the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo in 2004, his only appearance at the Las Vegas championships. But after finishing second at an invitational Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association show last weekend in Caldwell, Idaho, the Decatur cowboy began a promising rally in his attempt to qualify for the 2007 edition.
Police Women and Rodeo Clowns Heroes in Freak Rodeo Inident[Aug. 22, 2007] Two rampaging bulls broke free from their steel pen at the California State Fair on Sunday night - then tossed a 55-year-old police officer in the air, trampled a horse and terrified a grandstand full of onlookers. As the bulls snorted and raged, one rodeo clown scooped up a small child and carried him over a fence to safety.
Rodeo performers mix pain, pleasure[Aug. 18, 2007] Between trick rider Leann Pollock and rodeo clown Brian Potter, not many bones have been left unbroken or without bruises, but they don't consider their jobs dangerous.
Ridin' high at the fair rodeo[Aug. 18, 2007] BEST PICTURE! The silouette of the cowboy against the sky and the American flag flying behind him is awesome!
Voice of the rodeo[Aug. 18, 2007] Besides heart-stopping, horse-riding entertainment, another constant of the Red Horse Ranch rodeo is announcer Kelly Kenney.
WPRA Considers Sanctioning Goat Tying[Aug. 17, 2007] The Women’s Professional Rodeo Association (WPRA) is living its motto: the past, the present, and the future of women in rodeo. The oldest women’s sports organization in the nation is considering changes to help bring more women more opportunities in professional rodeo competition. More opportunities for women beyond high school and college rodeo.
