1. Masters shatters regular-season earnings record
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – This whole roping-with-consistency thing is working out great for Chad Masters.
Masters and partner Jade Corkill cashed at three more rodeos over the Aug. 21-23 weekend – including a win in the Norco (Calif.) Mounted Posse Rodeo – and the $6,689 each received allowed Masters to break the regular-season earnings record for team ropers.
Masters’ total of $114,573 eclipses the record of $110,626 set by Speed Williams and Rich Skelton in 2000 and puts him in the driver’s seat for his second world championship in three seasons.
“When I first bought my card back in 2001, Speed invited me and my partner to stay at his place (in Texas). We stayed for two to three weeks, and he’s extended an open invitation to me ever since. Over the years he’s let me ride his horses, helped me make decisions about horses and offered me (career) advice when I needed it.
“Speed is someone I’ve admired for years. It’s funny to me in a way that I’m being compared to someone I look up to so much. If it wasn’t for him, I don’t know that I’d ever have gotten as far with my career as I have.”
Masters actually reckons that his career began to hit a higher plane when he gave up on the notion that he would ever beat Williams at his own game.
His aim in recent seasons has been to stay focused on his job, be consistent and let all the other stuff take care of itself.
“I’ve never been good at dealing with losing,” Masters said. “I let it bother me and carry over into my next run. Last year, I maybe went too far the other way. I tried to leave everything in the arena and not get down on myself. Not over think things.
“By the end of the season, I was feeling like I just kind of rode through the year and didn’t put a whole lot of pressure on myself. This year, I at least wanted to rope better and try to be consistent, because I do believe consistency will help out.”
Consistency? Through his first 49 rodeos of the season, the Clarksville, Tenn., cowboy is averaging $2,338 per appearance. He spotted Kelsey Parchman a $50,000 pay day at RodeoHouston and still leads the heading standings by more than $30,000.
Masters had wins at Odessa and Denver with Michael Jones early in the season and since settling into the partnership with Corkill, they have won eight more titles, including the Cheyenne (Wyo.) Frontier Days.
With season earnings of $105,101, Corkill is just $5,526 away from breaking Skelton’s regular-season earnings record for heelers.
“It just seems like we’ve drawn the right steers all year,” Masters said. “We’ve won at the right places, and I’d say a lot of stuff has gone our way.”
2. Etbauer equals arena record at Caldwell Night Rodeo
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Five-time World Champion Saddle Bronc Rider Billy Etbauer can add one more thing to his resume – a record at the Caldwell (Idaho) Night Rodeo.
Etbauer scored an 89 on Knife Money in the Aug. 22 short go, matching the arena record set by Kevin Small in 1999, and won the saddle bronc riding title with a two-head total of 173.
“It’s all a big blessing,” Etbauer, 46, told the Idaho News-Tribune. “I am really very blessed to be able to still be riding today and especially still be able to make a living doing it.”
With his win at Caldwell and another Aug. 23 at the Rancho Mission Viejo Rodeo in San Juan Capistrano, Calif. – an 87-point ride on First Frontier’s Spring Blues – Etbauer pushed his weekend earnings to $11,492.
He is now fourth in the PRCA World Standings, having leap-frogged both Cody DeMoss and Bradley Harter in his late summer charge toward a record 21st consecutive qualification for the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo. Etbauer was just 37th in the world standings on June 1.
Clint Cannon’s remarkable season got just a bit better Aug. 22 as the bareback rider, who had set a regular-season earnings record for his event the week before, added the CNR buckle to his collection.
Cannon’s 86-point ride on Powder River Rodeo’s Big Show in the final round gave him 172 points on two head, enough to win by a single point over Royce Ford and two-time World Champion Bobby Mote.
“That’s something I’ll want to tell my grandkids about,” Cannon said. “It’s not every day you get on a great bucking horse and win (like that).”
Wade Sumper, who broke the regular-season earnings record in steer wrestling last year only to be injured in the first round of the Wrangler NFR, is making a late-season run at giving Vegas another shot.
He won the three-head average in Caldwell to earn $7,129 and a 3.4 second run in San Juan Capistrano netted him $4,395. He earned a grand total of $13,681 for the weekend and jumped from 43rd to 24th in the PRCA World Standings.
The other Caldwell Night Rodeo champions were team ropers Jay Adams and Austin Adams (16.8 seconds on three head), tie-down roper Trevor Brazile (25.6 seconds on three head), bull rider J.W. Harris (90 points) and barrel racer Sue Smith (52.29 seconds on three runs).

5. Rodeo News and Notes
The Trevor Brazile Watch
A relaxed, confident Trevor Brazile is a scary thing to behold for his fellow PRCA roping competitors.
Brazile pulled another double victory in the Aug. 18-22 Caldwell (Idaho) Night Rodeo, winning the tie-down roping three-head average in a time of 25.6 seconds and the all-around with earnings of $9,549.
He also was the all-around champion at the Canby (Ore.) Rodeo to push his earnings for the weekend to $11,269 and his total of all-around titles to 10 over the last month.
Brazile now has a $94,164 lead over second-place Clint Robinson in the All-Around World Standings in his bid for a record-tying seventh all-around gold buckle. His total earnings of $200,463 put him $12,993 ahead of the pace he set in 2007 when he broke the single-season earnings record with $425,115.
He leads the tie-down roping standings by $20,806 over Ryan Watkins, is third among team roping headers and is sixth in the steer roping standings.
Thousands raised at Omaha Buckaroo Bash
The silent auction was held in the horse stable and dinner was served in the arena. The 10th Annual Buckaroo Bash held Aug. 15 in Omaha, Neb., definitely had an equine and Western theme.
The annual fundraiser for the Ak-Sar-Ben’s River City Roundup and the Justin Cowboy Crisis Fund was held at the Omaha Police Mounted Patrol Horse Barn.
The event signaled that the River City Roundup is coming soon, and it is an opportunity to promote the rodeo’s philanthropic causes.
“It really had everything,” said Cindy Schonholtz, JCCF program director. “We learned about the great work of the Omaha Mounted Patrol, connected with the community and raised a lot of money. It was a lot of fun.”
This year’s River City Round-up, hosted by the Knights of Ak-Sar-Ben Foundation, will be the home of the Justin Boots Championships, Sept. 24-26. The competition is the culmination of the Wrangler Million Dollar Tour presented by Justin Boots.
There were 420 attendees at the Buckeroo Bash, and the auction grossed more than $20,000, generating more than $10,000 to send more than 400 kids to the rodeo.
A portion of the funds will be used to purchase new tack for the Omaha Mounted Patrol.
“Offering complimentary tickets to youths in local service organizations like Boys Clubs and Girls Clubs has proven to be a great way to reward positive behavior, and it serves as an introduction to the sport of rodeo for a new generation of potential fans,” said Beth Greiner, president of the Knights of Ak-Sar-Ben Foundation.
Among the many big-ticket items in the live auction were a four-day, three-night Wrangler NFR trip, donated by ProRodeo Hall of Famer Michael Gaughan and Southwest Airlines and a one-week-trip to Carlsbad, Calif., along with goodies for University of Nebraska sports fans.
The scheduled entertainment for the River City Roundup this year is Blake Shelton (Sept. 24), Julianne Hough (Sept. 25) and Billy Currington (Sept. 26).
Visit the rodeo’s Web site, www.rivercityroundup.org, for ticket information or call Ticket Master at 402.422.1212.
Rodeo troupe performs for young cancer patients
A troupe of cowboys and cowgirls will be providing a Wild West experience for cancer patients ages 8 to 18 Aug. 24-25 at Camp Happy Times in Tyler Hills, Pa. PRCA Hall of Fame bullfighter George Doak, rodeo clown Marvin Nash and specialty act performer Mike Rhenner will be among those taking part in a program that will include trick roping, stick horse barrel racing, clown face painting, movie stunt man training and Bullying Hurts training. For more information, visit www.thevaleriefund.org.
Former Bucking Bull of the Year Yellow Jacket dies in Texas
The 1999 PRCA Bucking Bull of the Year, Yellow Jacket, died of natural causes Aug. 6 on Milt Bradford’s ranch in Weatherford, Texas. The Flying Five Rodeo Company bull appeared in the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo six times (1997-2002) and was ridden just twice in 40 outings during the 1999 season, for 94 points by Scott Mendes in Eugene, Ore., and for 95 points by Mike White at the Wrangler NFR. Several of Yellow Jacket’s offspring followed him to the Wrangler NFR.
Dixon named coach at Blue Mountain Community College
Chance Dixon, a four-time saddle bronc riding qualifier in the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo (1994-96, 2000), has been named head rodeo coach at Blue Mountain Community College in Pendleton, Ore. Dixon attended BMCC and competed in team roping, saddle bronc riding and bull riding for the Timberwolves before embarking on a professional career that saw him finish as high as fifth in the world in 1994. He was a five-time Columbia River Circuit saddle bronc riding champion and had career earnings of $514,660.
Mussell-Dent injures shoulder, sidelined for rest of season
Saddle bronc rider Kaila Mussell-Dent, the only woman ever to have placed in a roughstock event in a PRCA rodeo, injured her shoulder July 17 and will be sidelined for the remainder of the 2009 season. Dr. Tandy Freeman performed surgery on her shoulder Aug. 3, inserting a 4-inch steel plate and grafting bone to the break site. “I keep my thoughts positive, and I have faith that I will heal well,” Mussell-Dent told Rodeo Attitude. “If all goes according to plan, I will be riding somewhere around the end of October.”
