sometimes we have to go slow andsometimes we will roll along at breakneck speeds, but whatever the case, thepath and the ride is well worth it.

I look back over my life and there aremany times that I reflect on instancesand situations that at the time I didn’tlike. In reflection I realize things werenot really so bad. It is hard for us torealize those things now, but be awarethat one day when you look back, it willall be all right.

God never gives us more than he willhelp us handle. Of course, life is busy,changing constantly and always achallenge. However, at some point wehave to pause and heal and minister toourselves. We are no help, inspiration orencouragement to anyone if we are nottaking care of ourselves.

Think about those carefree kids weonce were. Look at the kids today. Theyplay, they go to school, they eat andsleep, some rope, some do football orgolf, but no matter they pretty much rollwith the punches. We did that at onetime as well.

I sometimes pray for the Lord to help me carry this load and I think He mutters something back to the effect, “Well, Ben, none of that is stuff I asked you do!” That pretty much says a mouthful.

Are you on overload? To much onyour “to do” list? Whose fault is that?How many times this week have youstopped to take a deep breath and justpause and look around? What happenedto that carefree fun loving, easy goingkid with nothing to worry about andvery little stress? Hmmm, maybe he hashis priorities mixed up! And that is justthe way it is….

Just the Way It Is

by Ben Clements

TyAnn, my daughter, is two years oldand she has one. Ok, so maybe it doesn’tactually call anyone, but she can playgames and knows quiet well how to useit. That is way better than most of us.Kids today cannot go anywhere withouta phone, computer or iPad. Frankly, Ican’t either. Our world is fast-paced andif we don’t adapt, we will be left behind.

I, however, miss the simpler times. Imiss being a kid and just having toworry about playing and sleeping andmaybe eating a little bit, but not where Iwas going to play, sleep, or where mymeal was going to come from. I lookback and realize how carefree and happymy growing up actually was. I missbeing that care free, worry free,independent kid with no issues to dwellupon or problems.

Today society, through our owndoing, places greater stress on our lives.We put a lot of stress on ourselves that isself-induced. What I am about to sayhere is easier said than done and I knowthis full well because I have yet to makeit work very well for me. However, let meencourage you to pause and take a deepbreath. Look around and smell the roses.Take a stroll with your son or daughter.Stop and pick a flower or look at a rock.Don’t let the weight of the world get youdown. God will never give you more thanyou can handle. Be assured that you,with the help of God, can accomplish orconquer anything that arises. When youfeel like there is no way out, or that youare trapped in something, just relax.Clear your mind, take a deep breath andlook for the path you are supposed totake then go for it. It might be a rockypath, or even uphill, but nothing is toorough or too steep. Like it or not

s you probably know by now, I love summer. June is here and that means warm

weather, and for some of us it actuallymeans HOT weather. That is ok by mebecause I can sweat a lot easier than Ican shiver. I hope you all are having asmuch fun this summer as I am. It is abusy time, but a good time of the year to be a roper.

This month I want to talk to youabout life in general. Believe me I haveno advice but one thing I have come torealize is life is short and life is veryfragile. If you are like me, many times wetend to take it for granted. When I wasyounger a year took forever, now itseems to fly by. I can remember mygrandmother saying that a year is justlike the blink of an eye. I neverunderstood what that meant. However,it is beginning to dawn on me what shewas saying.

Last month my wife and I celebratedour five-year wedding anniversary. Itseems like yesterday we got married. Ihave been working for USTRC for morethan 16 years. When you say it like that itseems so long ago, but really 16 years isa short time. I still feel like a young kidwho is going out into this “big ole’World” lost and just looking to make it.

The world around us is evolving,changing and always growing. I am notreally that old, but when I left home andwent to college, I did not have a cellphone. My how times have changed.

You know, when you think about it, our sport is just not the easiest in the world to engage in. Never mind all the paraphernalia you have topurchase in order to participate, e.g. ropes, horses, trucks, trailers, tack,

gloves, dummies, etc., etc.. What about just getting there? Now if you are just a localroper spending most of your weekends and evenings in your own practice arena ormotoring just a few miles down the road to your local jackpots, your travel expensesremain well in hand. But once you start getting serious about this sport of teamroping, local jackpots are just not going to scratch your progressively growingcompetitive itch. You’ve got to spread your roping wings. Let’s go chase some bigmoney! Now added to the above listed paraphernalia are things like: gas, lodging,stalls, meals, vehicle wear-and-tear, parking, tolls, vaccinations, coggins, etc., etc..When you add it all up, this recreational pursuit of ours is not like bowling (a ball, apair of shoes, a lane, and . . . ). Whose idea was it to start roping anyway?! Ah, but weare addicted, aren’t we? And besides, we are going to win it all back!!

While it’s not like we didn’t know all this going in, I still get amazed at the amountof travel ropers are willing to undertake in the name of recreation. Thus the factspresented herein––the amount of travel our ropers embark on––and to see whateffect a roper’s geographic location might have on the equation, I’ve broken it downby state.

Let’s start with the Table, “2012 USTRC Sanctioned & Affiliate Ropings, DistanceRopers Travel to Events by State”. The numbers in this table come from the followingsource: all of USTRC member ropers who attended at least one sanctioned oraffiliate roping in the U.S in 2012 and who also had a valid home zip code in the U.S.At the bottom of the table you will find the totals. I will use those figures to explainwhat each column means. The first column is the states in which ropers live, as pertheir given home zip code. The first number at the bottom is 23,712, which is thetotal number of member ropers who participated in at least one sanctioned oraffiliate roping for whom we have a valid home zip code.

A side note here, if a roper moved during the course of 2012 or an erroneous zipcode was given to USTRC or an address was recorded incorrectly, some of thesedistances will be off. But there are relatively few of these inaccuracies so they shouldnot effect the final results by very much. But on an even further side note, if you arenot getting your monthly copy of SuperLooper, we have found that it’s often becausethere has been a mistake made in the recording of your address or you have movedand forgot to tell us. Please feel free to call the Stephenville office (254-968-0002) orthe SuperLooper office (505-899-1870) to correct the problem. We don’t want youmissing the incredibly valuable information you can glean from your monthly

SuperLooper like this column, for instance (ahem).Okay, so we have 23,712 ropers included in this assessment and

they are broken out by the number of ropers in each state. That makesup the first and second columns of the Table. The third column, “Total# of Event Attendants”, is the number reached by adding together allof the events attended by each roper from that state. Here isConnecticut, for example:

Roper 1 attended 1 eventRoper 2 attended 2 eventsRoper 3 attended 3 eventsRoper 4 attended 4 eventsRoper 5 attended 6 eventsRoper 6 attended 9 events

For a total of 25 event attendants.

But these were not all different events as three of these ropers wentto the Cinch National Finals as well as the Guthrie Shoot-OutChampionships. Below is a breakout of where each Connecticut roperwent to rope in the 2012 season. This same concept applies when youare looking at the other states as well. Here is the tally: 6 Connecticutropers attended 21 different events for a total of 25 “Event Attendants”in 2012. It is quite interesting to see how far afield that ropers on the“fringe” of the US team roping domain have to travel to engage intheir sport––from Idaho to Nevada, Texas, and Oklahoma, as well asdown to Florida and Georgia. It is quite impressive and kudos to youConnecticut ropers for your effort and dedication.

But now back to the main table. The fourth column is “Avg # ofEvents Attended” by each roper. It is the result of column 3, “Total # ofEvent Attendants”, divided by column 2, “# of Ropers”, and it tells youthe average number of events that were attended by the ropers fromeach state. The final column, “Avg Distance to Events”, is the average

one-way distance that each roper in each state traveled to attend eachevent. So back to Connecticut for a second and you can see that thesix ropers that live there attended an average of 4.2 events each andthe average distance they traveled to attend each of those events was1,231.0 miles. OK, you southwest ropers, think about that for amoment. These guys deserve a lot of credit!

Now let me define what “distance” means in the Table. It is thelinear measure in miles between the “centroid” of the roper’s homezip code and the “centroid” of the event arena’s location zip code, ASTHE CROW FLIES, in other words, as a straight line on a map and notby any road. Here is how the US Postal Service defines a “centroid”:

A ZIP Code’s centroid is a point near the center of the areas of apolygon for a 5-Digit ZIP Code. The centroid is calculated as theinternal balance point, based on the coordinate extremes of thepolygon. In cases where the polygon is irregular, the centroid may beadjusted so that ZIP Code labels never fall outside of the polygon.

Got that? Good. The Table is sorted by the last column, “Avg Distance to Events”. So,

the members of the states that had to travel the farthest averagedistance to events are at the top, the ones that had to travel the leastaverage distance are at the bottom. The winner of the “Which StateMembers Had to Travel the Farthest” was, not surprisingly, Alaska.There were five guys that ventured forth from the Land of theMidnight Sun to ropings in the continental US. Four of them were“snowbirds” that roped at Lasso Del Sol in Scottsdale, AZ while a fifthattended several ropings in California and one in Nevada. Hopefullytheir ropes were de-iced before they entered the arena. You will noticethat most of the states that are at or near the top of the list are what Iwould call “fringe” states, states that are on the periphery of the moregeographic centers of roping in the Southwest and Southeast. TheNortheast and Atlantic Coast are well represented in the Top Ten withConnecticut at #2, New Jersey at #4, Pennsylvania at #8, Delaware at

#9 and Maryland at #10. The Northwest was represented by Washington (5th) andOregon (7th) with Michigan at 6th and Hawaii at 3rd finishing out the Top Ten.The major reason these states were in the top ten was the fact that, other thanHawaii, none of these states had either sanctioned or affiliate ropings in 2012.Checking the average distance to events, it ranged, for those not mentioned yet,from 730 miles for Hawaii (lots of water miles) to 376 for Maryland.

Switching to the foot of the list, states that had to travel the least distance, Iwas not surprised to find Oklahoma and Texas. The average distance a Texan hadto travel was only 129 miles while Okies only had an average of 131 miles. That’s afar cry from Alaska’s 2,451 or even Connecticut’s 1,231. Arizona was third fromthe bottom at 143 miles followed by three southern states,. Alabama (146),Georgia (149) and Tennessee (151). The four remaining states in the “bottom ten”were Colorado (152 miles), New Mexico, (153 miles), Arkansas (161 miles) andUtah (163 miles).

Now let’s find out what state members went to the most number of ropings.Delaware leads that category with 8.5 events attended per roper. There were onlyfour ropers from the First State who attended events but they went to a bunch ofthem. The four attended 2, 9, 11 and 12 events each respectively. Next wasMaryland at 7.4 aided by the infamous roping Brown Family (Kenny, and MaryAnn) going to 15 and 14 events each, respectively. Next was New York whose 47ropers averaged 5.6 ropings each. A lot of that you can attribute to the OsburnArena in Campbell, NY with their popular monthly gatherings. The next four inorder were Texas (5.1), Oklahoma (4.8), New Mexico (4.7), and Kansas at 4.3events per roper. The bottom seven in this category, not surprisingly, are, inreverse order, Alaska (2.0), West Virginia (2.1), New Jersey (2.2), with Wisconsin,Ohio and Hawaii all at 2.3 average number of events attended.

I took the liberty of choosing four ropers at random and producing maps ofthe distances they traveled to attend USTRC sanctioned and affiliate ropings.They come from three different regions of the country and I picked those thathad attended six different events so each was on more or less equal footing. Mylogic was to see if there were significant differences in travel distances dependingupon the part of the country they were from. The first is Rodney Acker of Centre,Alabama. The second was Jeff Trawick of Fort Worth and the third was the ropingcouple of Bruce and Linda Teague of Globe, Arizona. The six events that Rodneyattended were in Texas, Florida, and Tennessee as well as Alabama. If Rodneywere a crow, he would have traveled 1,367 miles to get to his six ropings or 2,734miles if he decided to go and come back to each one. But in order to put the “asthe crow flies” distance in perspective, I went to Google maps and actually drewout the most direct routes for each roping Rodney attended and recorded thatmileage in the “Roping Distances” box below the “as the crow flies” distances. Ithought they would be good examples of how much farther road distances arefrom crow fly distances. In Rodney’s case, his crow fly miles were 1,367 and hisroad miles were 1,674, a difference of 307 miles or 22% more miles.

Our second roper was Jeff Trawick from Fort Worth. His total crow fly mileswere 1,286 while his road miles were 1,470, a difference of 184 miles or 14%.Obviously, the roads are straighter in Texas. Our third faction, the Teagues,traveled 1,152 crow fly miles while their road miles were 1,495, a difference of 343 miles or 30%. So what part of the country you are from makes a difference in your mileage. Out west, there just aren’t as many roads as there are farther east which makes for the possibility of more indirect routes. Texas just has more roads.

Keep this in mind when you look at the Table crow fly miles. You might wantto add anywhere from 15% to 30% to those numbers to get closer to the actualroad mileage figures, depending on what part of the country you’re from.

With each map, I have also included the farthest distance traveled and theaverage distance traveled for both crow fly and road miles. Since they are moreaccurate, let’s look at road mileage. Rodney Acker took the longest trip of the three,motoring 787 miles to the NRS Team Roping Classic in Decatur, TX. Jeff had thesecond longest trip when he went to the Colorado Championships in Colorado

Springs. The Teagues had the shortest longest trip when they went toFort Mohave, AZ but they went there twice, once for the LaughlinTeam Roping Finals and then again for the Colorado River Classic.Rodney had the longest average distance traveled at 279 miles,followed by Jeff at [245] and the Teagues close behind at 245.

So there are really not significant differences between the three.The overall average distance they traveled was between 280 and245. Rodney did travel the farthest overall but a fair amount of thatis on the strength of the longer trip he took to Decatur. So, all in all,it doesn’t look like there are significant differences betweendifferent parts of the country as to how far ropers travel to rope.But do keep in mind that this is a very small sampling. In anyevent, I want to give credit to all of you, the weekend warriors whoload up on numerous occasions to make significant treks to pursue the sport you love. My Resistol is off to all of you. And happy traveling!

t’s an awesome month for the sport of team roping. Somany great events to partake in for both competitors and

spectators. The Bob Feist Invitational and the Reno RodeoInvitational are can’t miss events this month. Speaking of can’tmiss events, I can’t wait for you guys to hear what is beingadded to the Cinch National Finals of Team Roping. Read moreabout it in the NFTR section of this issue.

June is such an exciting month here at the USTRC. We kickoff our Regional Finals at the end of June in Paso Robles, CAand the excitement continues through September. We haveseven spectacular regional events for ropers to fill theirpockets and collect Flex Earnings. Then before we know it, itwill be time for the Cinch National Finals of Team Roping.Don’t forget to check the entry and stall deadlines, we don’twant you to miss out. Also, this year we are letting you pre-enter your draw-in runs, so be sure to write the word “Draw”as your partner on your entry forms! (For example, if you are aheader wanting to draw a heeler, write your name as headerand “Draw” in the space marked for the heeler.

Thanks to you the roper, there’s more added money up forgrabs in the Regional Finals Gold Plus division than everbefore. USTRC sets aside a portion of every Gold Plus

membership to use as added money at these special events.The more support the program receives, the more we are ableto give back. This year, USTRC guarantees a minimum of$17,500 cash will be added to each of the seven Regional GoldPlus ropings. So again, thanks to you a minimum of $122,500,up from $105,000 a year ago will be added in 2013!

Now that we have warmer temperatures and longer days onour side, it is time to get a game plan together so we can becompetitive at the Regional and National Finals. Our horsesshould be in shape by now as well as our roping arms. I think itis very important that we remember we need to be practicingfor ourselves as well as our horses. When I played golf it was allabout preparing for “me” mentally and physically. Now that Iam a team roper, I need to prepare myself as well as myhorses, mentally and physically. Another thing I think a lot ofcompetitors struggle with is the “slump” stage. We all gothrough “slumps” in any activity we do. It is very difficult to be100% all the time, even Tiger Woods goes through variousslumps. (Unfortunately the latest one has lasted longer than hewould like, but hey, he is back on the climb.) Manycompetitors panic when they hit their “slump” when in realitywe just need to take a step back from the situation and go backto the fundamentals. I know it is easier said than done,especially when you are putting up money to compete andyour short on time, like maybe the roping is next week. I havestruggled with the “slumps” in golf but you have to keepgrinding it out and staying after it. Fundamentals are soimportant and will always be the foundation on which youstand and most of the time it is just one simple little thing youare not doing that is causing all the stress. So, this Finalsseason before we start panicking, lets step back and as WaylonJennings would say “Get back to the basics.”

We are anticipating an exceptional Finals season and wehope to give the best production to the ropers as possible.Please do not hesitate to let us know how we are doing andwhat we can do to make it better for the ropers. We are excitedto see you at the events this month and upcoming RegionalFinals and Cinch National Finals of Team Roping. Don’t forgetto pay attention to deadlines for entries and stalls and if youhave any flex earnings questions, we can help! Good Luck toeveryone at the West Coast Regional, we can’t wait to see youin the winner’s circle! Let’s Saddle up, it’s time to rope!

This is a story about roping but more than that is it a storyabout family. It is about watching kids grow and learn andreaping the rewards of time spent and hours committed tomaking, not just good ropers, but good people with goodcharacter, morals and good intentions. It is reaping therewards of hard work, valued traditions and maintaining adevotion and appreciation for family and all that it stands for.

Ninety five thousand dollars is a lot of money. It was only aportion of the incredible prize line offered in the #12 Shoot-Out at the 2012 Cinch USTRC National Finals of Team Roping.The prize line also included Martin Championship TrophySaddles, Tony Lama Ostrich Boots, Gist Championship GoldTrophy Buckles and Western Horseman Collector’s Prints.

Thirty teams came back to the short go round and the top twenty teams would get a check. With a total payout of$381.600 it was a pretty sure bet the competition would be fierce.

The short go round would be a tough roping. Pressure, nomatter how you looked at it, would be a factor. As the short goround unfolded it almost appeared the top six high call back

Laying foundation is hard work any way you look at it. Whether you are building a house, getting in shape or

raising kids, setting the right foundation provides thestrength needed to make it all work and come together.

Cultures and lifestyles are built on foundations of agesgone by and no matter how difficult the world may becomethere are just some foundations and traditions that will standthe test of time.

Ropers, cowboys, ranchers, and rodeo people come from alineage that has lasted through the ages. It is bred into all thatyou are. You cannot buy it, you cannot design it and ultimatelyyou cannot change it. It is something instilled into all that youare and ingrained into your inner most being. It will be withyou when you die and you will leave it for those coming afteryou. It is that ritual and lifestyle that defines where you camefrom and where you are going and why.

Cade and Rance Bray are cousins. They know about thecowboy lifestyle. It is ingrained deep into their souls and theyhave watched since the time they were little boys to see how itis done and what it takes to get where you are going. Theyhave seen the joy, the fun, the struggle, the discipline and therewards. They have watched their granddads and their dadsand come to know what is expected and why. They haveembraced family and the support of mothers, grandmothers,siblings, dads and grandfathers.

teams were scrambling. Nerves were an issue.Cade Bray kept hearing his dad ask if he was nervous. Part

of him wished he would quit asking. Couldn’t he tell? Wouldn’tyou be? Cade had roped his thirteenth high call back steer forpartner, Jahew Thorp, in 9.52. It was a good run but just notenough to take him to first place. He hoped his second highcall back steer would be the push he needed to win the roping.

When Cade and Rance rode into the box for their shortround steer they knew they needed an 8.52 to take the lead inthe roping.

“It is the same roping, the same run as any twenty-fivedollar jackpot,” Cade Bray kept thinking. Knowing Rance

would be there to back him up he left nerves, inhibitions,pressure and outcome hanging on the fence of the roper’s box. He nodded and went to rope like he had beenroping all day. He had absolutely no doubt Rance had hisback covered.

When the dust cleared 8.46 highlighted the clock. Thepair took the lead in the average and there was only oneteam left to rope. What was done was done. When the highcall back team legged on their short go round steer bothRance and Cade took a deep breath. They had just won the#12 Shoot-Out and $95,200 was going to the bank.

“It was such a mixed bag of emotions,” Cade said. “I wasso nervous but I didn’t want my dad to know. I wanted agood run and I knew Rance would do his job.”

“It is a change of pace for a bronc rider,” Rance Brayssaid. “The pressure is the same. I hoped to rope smart but Ididn’t dwell on it or give it a lot of thought. I guess I’m not abronc rider anymore,” he continued with a laugh. “I guess Iam officially a team roper.”

The #12 Shoot-Out was a very special roping for Ranceand Cade Bray. They are proud to have claimed the win butthere is just something even more special about havingyour family involved. It meant a lot to understand andembrace the sacrifices made by those who had gone before you. You knew you were special because you knew your family was special and they were a huge part of your success.

As the doors closed on the #12 Shoot-Out . . . And ThenThere Was One—Rance and Cade Bray were the Championsof the #12 Shoot-Out at the 2012 Cinch USTRC NFTR.Roping and family, traditions, discipline and ability wereingredients that helped to make it happen.

he left hand is definitely under-appreciated and under-used. I’m going to say that 80% of ropers don’t use their left hand to its full potential. Some

ropers do use their left hand to guide and stop their horse. But very few ever master the art of controlling the

horse and using their left hand to control the coil and ropedirection, all the while controlling the horse and his speed.The left hand, because it holds the coils, is actually the truebase and center of the delivery. It’s what the loop hinges andpivots on in the delivery. The left hand is what controls howmuch rope goes out to the steer’s head when you reach torope the horns, and how much rope doesn’t go out whenyou run close, all the while controlling the horse.

When heeling, the left hand must control the horse’sspeed in the corner and serve as a base and anchor forheeling swing and delivery. Notice in Photo 1 how my leftelbow is down and my palm up, as if I had a rifle layingacross my palm to fire. This wrist position lets me controlmy horse and keep the rope aimed at the target. My lefthand and elbow are strategically set to have strength ingathering the horse, and leveraging the swing and thedelivery off the coil position. You can see in the heelingpictures that my left hand is pointing the coils at the right

hock, over the gun barrel andcoils. As you look at the delivery,you will notice the importance ofthe coils’ direction. As the topstrand hits the right leg, the rope istight in a straight line from thecoils to the right hock. Someonewho swings their left hand arounduncontrolled will not have aconsistent placement of the topstrand to the right hock. Loops willhit high, low and inconsistent.

The left hand is soimportant to the headloop opening up. Youshould maintain lefthand aim through thedelivery and slack. If youare wild with the lefthand as your loop is inflight, it will changedirections or fall short ofthe target. If a steermoves to the right or

Where thecoils are pointed iswhere the loop willeventually end up.Deliver your loopover the top of yourcoils, and get yourslack on the wayback down. A highpercentage ofheaders move theirhand left as theygrab their slack fromthe right side. Thiscovers roping frontlegs, split horns andwave offs.

By Heather Smith Thomas

Biting flies can be a tremendous irritation to horses. Thereare several methods of fly control and ways to protect horsesfrom flies that come in from other areas.

MINIMIZING FLY NUMBERS

Methods that can help reduce fly population on a farminclude use of premise sprays, fly traps, parasitic wasps, andfeed-through larvicides. Some flies, however, especiallyhorse flies, deer flies and stable flies, canfly long distances and come to yourfarm from neighboring regions.

Tia Nelson, a veterinarian inHelena, Montana says some horse ownersutilize parasitic wasps—the harmlesstiny wasps (sometimes called flypredators) that lay eggs in freshmanure.The wasplarvae feedon fly larvae and canhelp control flies that breed in manure.These wasps should be released early inthe fly season. They only workon flies that lay eggs inmanure, such ashouseflies, horn flies andstable flies, but stable fliesare aggressive biters thatfeed on the horse’s legs andlower body. They have avery painful bite, sothe horse spends alot of time stomping, kicking, lickinghis legs and swishing his tail.

Nancy Hinkle, entomologist at University of Georgia, sayshorsemen should try to controlflies and mosquitoes at the beginning ofthe warm season—whenever it occurs in their area,before the insect population becomes large. “Becomefamiliar with your stable fly season and try to get ahead ofthe curve by reducing early populations so there are not somany to reproduce. Cleaning up organic debris (old beddingand manure, decaying plant material) they use as breeding

sites is very effective. Old hay or bedding should becompletely removed or scattered so it can dry out. These fliesmust have moist decaying material in which to lay their eggs.Don’t pile up organic material; a pile keeps moisture in andmakes ideal habitat for fly larvae. Some people pile up lawnclippings, which may supply enough stable flies to torment all

the horses in the neighborhood,”says Hinkle.

“Several farms I work for use afeed-through fly killer,” says Nelson.This product is fed in the grain, and

goes on through the horse. Some of thesecontain a larvicide that kills fly larva that hatch inmanure. These products (Rabon, Equitrol, Vita-plus with Equitrol) contain tetrachlorvinphos.

Other products, such asSimplifly, Solitude IGR,

and Equitrol IIcontain an insect

growthregulator

(such asdiflubenzuron, dimilinor cyromazine) thathinders growth and

maturation ofimmature fly

larvae, andthey die. Many

horse owners thinkthis method issafer thanoverhead fly spraysin barns. You don’t

have to worry aboutcontamination of feed, or irritation of the horses’ eyes.Nelson doesn’t like the feed-through products, however,because they only work in the small area around a

stable or pasture, and have no effect on flies that come infrom neighboring areas. Another drawback to this method

is that stable flies also breed in other material, not justmanure. People often become lax in clean-up of old beddingand other organic material, thinking they have the problemunder control.

Fly Controlto ProtectHorses

26 Horse Health_Layout 1 5/8/13 10:54 AM Page 26

Some horses develop sensitivity tocertain products. It’s important to notoverdose. Read labels, apply the productcorrectly, in the proper locations andamounts, and always watch for any signsof skin reaction. Try it first on a very smallarea of the body before you apply it allover the horse, to see if there is any type ofskin reaction. It may take more than oneapplication, however, before you know ifthe horse will react.

Some horses develop sensitivity overtime. “Everything seems fine, and thenthe horse has an allergic reaction afteryou’ve been using the product for awhile,”says Nelson. “The horse may suddenlydevelop huge welts or hives. To becomeallergic to something, you have to beexposed to it at least twice. The first timeyou use it just sensitizes the body and thesecond time causes the reaction. Peopleor animals can suddenly become sensitiveto things they never had any problem withbefore,” she explains.

Most insecticides contain petroleumproducts or alcohol, which are irritating tothe eyes, mucous membranes, andgenitalia, according to Hinkle. “Neverspray the horse’s face. If you need to applyit to the head, spray it onto a cloth andwipe it carefully on the face, avoidingmucous membranes. If you get too closeto the mouth or the membranes of thenose, the animal may start salivating andsneezing. On male horses, be carefularound the genitalia, anus, and othersensitive areas,” advises Hinkle.

Fly Sprays And Wipe-Ons

There are dozens of sprays, wipe-ons and spot-ons for useon horses, but almost all of them contain pyrethroids (such as permethrins) or pyrethrins as their active ingredients.“These are about the only options, for effective products thatare safe to use on horses,” says Hinkle. “Fortunately, these are fast-acting, so you could apply them to the horse justbefore you plan to work with the animal. Most productsshould be applied to legs or belly, since that’s where stable flies will be biting.”

If biting midges (also called punkies or no-see-ums) are aproblem, making horses itchy from an allergic sensitivityreaction to the bites (“sweet itch”), these tiny flies can often bethwarted with diligent application of insecticide. “Midges canmake the animals very miserable,” says Hinkle. “They can biteanywhere on the body, but often bite along the midline of thebelly and create a crusty, itchy area. They are easiest to kill ifyou get enough insecticide on the animal and it stays on.Since they tend to feed on the belly, it is essential to apply it allalong the belly, and reapply it if the horse has walked throughtall grass, or stands in a pond, or sweats,” she says.

Hinkle says stable flies are hard to kill. “These flies don’tspend much time on the animal so they don’t pick up enoughinsecticide to kill them. They zoom in, feed quickly, and flyaway. Many of them survive to come back again a few dayslater, and to reproduce,” she explains.

The horse’s lower legs don’t retain insecticides very long.Even though a spray or wipe-on tends to bond to the hair afterit dries, and is not easily rubbed off, it can still be washed off.“Every time itrains, or thehorse walksthrough wetgrass or water,stands in apond to protecthimself fromflies, or sweatruns down thelegs, it washesoff theinsecticide,”says Hinkle.

If the horse has been out in the rain, or sweating a lot, youmay need to reapply a product sooner than the labelrecommends. It’s difficult to keep enough on the legs to domuch good, and the products that are effective need to bereapplied frequently.

Always follow directions when using any fly repellent orinsecticide, to make sure you’ll get the optimum benefit fromthe product, without putting your horse’s health (or your own)at risk

Some horse owners try different methods, such as tyingcattle ear tags (formulated for horn fly control) on the horse’shalter, or braiding a fly tag into the mane. “But this is asystemic type of control, which may not be good for yourhorse,” says Nelson. Some of the cattle fly tags contain

organophosphates, a more toxic type of chemical than thepyrethrins or permethrins.

Fly Traps

Some flies are difficult to control with premise insecticidesor manure management because they come in from otherareas. Horse flies and deer flies usually emerge with the firsthot days of summer, after their larvae have developed in mudor water in marshy areas. “We usually can’t control the sourceof these flies, since they may come from miles away. Sincethey attack a horse quickly and leave, most topicalinsecticides are not very effective against them,” says Hinkle.“There are some fly traps that help, however. The Universityof Missouri has a website that shows how to construct a trapfor horseflies.”

In situations where flies can’t be fullycontrolled, it often helps to use flymasks to keep flies away from thehorse’s face, especially eyes and ears.There are some good ones on themarket today that give fairly goodprotection. There are also fly sheets thatcan help keep biting flies off the horse’sbody, and fly boots that cover the legs.

he Cinch USTRC National Finals of Team Roping is thepinnacle of the sport of team roping. The annual event is

held in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma and takes place at the endof October each year. Team ropers from all over the worldcome to enjoy the great production and the enormouspayout along with an outstanding prizeline.In 2012 more than $5 million in cash and prizes was paid

out to team ropers over the nine-day event. This year USTRCguarantees $1 million in cash will be added to the CinchNFTR. Team ropers will have the opportunity to win life-changing amounts of money and experience a productionlike no other. Team ropers compete all year long foreligibility to this coveted event and USTRC is committed togiving you a red carpet event.This year the USTRC is making some modifications to

ensure the days are manageable and the quality of cattle isthe best it can possibly be. With more than 8,000 teams in2012 the days ran longer than ropers preferred and stretchedthe limits of available Cinch NFTR quality cattle. The firstmodification is the entry fees in the Preliminary events willbe $300 per roper and each roper may enter twice. This willallow ropers to enter and either warm up for or becomeeligible for entry into the crown jewel ropings or the Shoot-Out Divisions. The Shoot-Out Division entry fees will be$350 per roper and each roper may enter twice. To enter aUSTRC National Shoot-Out Division ropers must haveUSTRC Personal or Flex Earnings. The Priefert US Open is a crowd favorite and certainly an

event to watch. This year it is guaranteed to be even moreexciting. The roping will be a five-steer average with four fullrounds. It will feature the best in the team roping businessgoing head to head and competing for 100% payback.Another great addition to the Cinch NFTR is the United

States Invitational Divisions. There will be a US Invitational#12 that will be held on October 30 and a US Invitational #10(capped at a #6) that will be on October 31. The ropings will

T be limited to 200 teams in each division. The ropings will be$2,000 per roper and limited to one entry per roper perdivision. The Invitationals will be open to all USTRCmembers 30 years old and older on the day of the roping. NoFlex Earnings will be required to enter these divisions, withthe only eligibility requirement being ropers must haveparticipated in a USTRC Sanctioned, Grassroots, Affiliate,WSTR Qualifier or Regional Finals roping during the 2013season. This will give USTRC members an opportunity toplay big and to win even bigger. There will be an 80%payback in each division with 35 ways to win your moneyback. The ropings will be three full rounds with the top 20teams on three steers advancing to the main average shortround and the top 30 teams advancing on two steersadvancing to a three-steer consolation average short round.The consolation short round will consist of the fastest teamson two steers from any of the three rounds. Teams with threequalified runs, but too long to make the main short roundwill be allowed to throw out their longest time, or teams with two qualified runs from any two of the three rounds willbe eligible. No team will advance to the consolation shortround based on one qualified run. The US InvitationalDivisions will certainly be a great addition to the CinchNFTR. The books are open now for the US Invitationalropings, so look in the SuperLooper Magazine or on thewebsite at www.ustrc.com for entry forms and ad info on the US Invitationals.The USTRC is committed to bringing its members

great events and always being on the cutting edge of thesport. This year’s 2013 Cinch National Finals of Team Roping is gearing up to be an event to remember. Getentered up and don’t be left out.

30 / JUNE 2013

The Western Wear business is going well. And while that isgood news for Western Apparel retailers, it is even betternews for customers.

Looking good and feeling good are at the top of the list forconsumers this spring. Western apparel is no longer just therough and tough, heavy denim, long wearing, riveted, seeminglyinvincible work pants for ropers and ranch hands. Western wearis now a high fashion statement, and in demand across the U.S.and around the world for discriminating buyers that expect morestyle and comfort in their essential clothing needs. Increaseddemand has pushed retailers and manufacturers alike to bringwhat customers want to market; that includes new shapes andstyles, and more available selection from buyer’s favorite brands.

Of course, the strongest staple is the jean offerings. It’s beenbelled and blinged and cropped and cut off, but there will alwaysbe blue jeans. Consumers expect their jeans to encompassfrontier values and wild west virtues. Daily ranch wear needs tobe strong, but comfortable enough to wear all day. Why shouldn’tour casual and fashion wear do the same. Yes, we want fabric thatfeels good and wears like iron, but we also want someembellishments and a little style. What we wear on the ranch isnot what we want to wear to the dance.

“This season we are seeing that the gentlemen are stepping outof the box with their denim. There are many new fashion stylesthat include distressing, stitching and flap pockets. It seems thatguys no longer have only one style of jeans, but several to wear fordifferent occasions,” said Julie Christian, NRS Fashion Buyer.

Just like your favorite pair of jeans, your cowboy hat sayssomething about you. It’s a way to express yourself! From thecrease to the crown and the brim to the embellishments, stylisticoptions in modern cowboy hats are infinite. So, how do you choosea hat that fits you? Kaci Riggs, Assistant Product Developer forHatco Inc., offers the following tips for finding your perfect cowboy hat.

You want your cowboy hat to fit your personality. You wantsomething that fits you inside and out. It needs to reflect who you are.

Functionality is the most important part of a cowboy hat. Wecan never be worried about it blowing off during ranch work orcompetition. When it’s time to pull your hat down and just grit yourteeth to make your run, you can. Also, people are looking out fortheir personal health now more than ever and we need to protectour skin.

The basic hat brim width is 4 inches. Some ladies can wear 4¼

Cinch Jeans and ShirtsAt Cinch every day is denim. Every day is jeans. And not

just any jeans. Jeans that take the hits and demand nothing inreturn. Jeans that won’t itch, bunch, sag, or pinch after aweeks’ worth of wear. Jeans that don’t mind their time in thedryer. Yes, we at CINCH need jeans to look cool without theextra effort. We have better things to do – like making jeans.

But we don’t make them just to walk around the office. Wemake them for the men who are also a little mystified by“Casual Fridays.” Men who think jeans are far more importantthan a fashion statement. They wear denim as a barrierbetween themselves and the abrasive world they work in.Cinch jeans aren’t made for men who lounge on plush leatherchairs. They’re designed for men who sit on a different kind ofleather. The kind that bucks, spins and throws them off.

up to 5 inches. And a lady doesn’t want the crown any taller thanabout 4 inches in the front; it can rise up some in the back as longas it tapers with your face. Anything less than that and you can’tpull it down on your head. Anything more than that and it justlooks too tall.Of course, there are trends. We’ve seen trends change from tall

crowns in the ’80’s and ’90’s to much lower crowns, to tall, opencrowns again with flat brims. Remember, however, that trendswill come and go, but there will always be the timeless classicslike the Resistol 20X Black Gold and the Stetson Open Road.Boots have become a staple of fashion in the Western Market.

It’s not uncommon to see a cowgirl wearing her boots with adress these days. In fact they are being designed to be worn thatway. New colors and your choice of bling give you the option ofdressing up with your boots, or working on the range. From workboots that go straight from the box to the mud, to a custom madepair that are strictly for special occasions, there are nearly asmany styles of boots out there as there are stars in a Texas nightsky. With so many options to choose from, how can you be sure ofthe pair that’s right for you? Jennifer June, author of CowboyBoots: The Art and Sole, gives some advice on finding the perfectpair of cowboy boots to suit your style.A night out or special event can often benefit from a dressier

boot. This is a good time to try alligator, emu, ostrich, or lessdurable materials that can look more refined but aren’t as ruggedas leather. A higher heel causes the foot to fit further forward, soyou might try a half size larger when shopping for a dress boot. For general walk-around cowboy boots, look for something a

little less fussy. A simple all-leather boot goes with just aboutanything. Shorter boots provide less room for design and less

protection, but are cooler in the summer and can be morecomfortable. Look for a lower heel and a rounded toe.If the classic look of vintage boots appeals to you, look for boots

that were made in the 1960s and ’70s with subdued colors and apointed toe. This is a timeless look that will blend well with today’sfashions. A working cowboy needs function more than style. A tall boot

protects from brush, bramble, and broncs. A tough, durable leatherensures dependability and longevity while a lower heel (about 1 5/8inch) can still easily grip the stirrup.Another place to notice some major inclusion into main stream

of western fashion are accessories. Even the most conservativedresser can be found with a touch of western styling in their jewelryor bag. New leathers and a full array of colors and styles with just ahint of ‘cowgirl’ in them can make an otherwise uninteresting workoutfit into a fun and flirty fashion statement.“Ladies styles are always changing but one thing that we are

seeing continue through all seasons is layering, whether be withjewelry, accessories, vest, scarfs or even boot rugs. We offer alldifferent lengths of necklaces so the ladies can mix and matchstyles and colors. Belts, buckles and vests also add dimension andvariety to any outfit,” added Christian.As 2013 unfolds, we should see some increased competition in

the Western Apparel market as Manufacturers and retailers battlefor the discriminating buyer. Whether just adding the western lookto their existing wardrobe or those actually living the westernlifestyle, the battle is on to provide contemporary westerncustomers with trendy, cutting-edge clothing and accessories.

North AlabamaChampionshipsRainsville, AlabamaJune 14-16, 2013

“Sit down, Joseph,” Susan McCurdy saidsternly. “You have to pay attention or you willmiss the lesson altogether.” She smiled andruffled the boy’s milky colored hair andhanded him back his pencil. He smiled shyly and made a secret promise to listenmore carefully.

The year was 1912 and Susan McCurdyfelt more than a wee bit of pressure in the jobat hand. She was the first teacher of thesecond school in Rainsville, Alabama and shewanted it to go well. Her husband, EdwardElijah McCurdy, was a prominent merchantin the growing community. There were a lotof things riding on the success of theeducation system in the area.

Settlement of the region began in earnestwhen the Cherokee started vacating the areain 1837. Many settlers came from Tennessee,Kentucky, and Georgia. Pouring into thevalleys between Sand Mountain and LookoutMountain, settlers favored the lower grounds.The steep slopes and cliffs of the mountainswere obviously a strong geographical barrier.

By the 1860s several of the valley towns ofnortheast Alabama - Gadsden, Bellefonte(just north of present-day Scottsboro),Guntersville, Centre and Lebanon - appearedon pre-Civil War maps. At that time the areathat is now downtown Rainsville remained a mere rough frontier crossing deep in the woods.

Susan McCurdy was well versed in thehistory of the area and she wanted everystudent to know his or her history. Theirroots were important and each of the

children could make a difference in thegrowing community. Education wasimportant and she wanted to instill that inevery single one of her students.

Some of the earliest known settlers cameto the lands that are now downtownRainsville between 1885 and 1895. Some ofSusan’s students were children whosefamilies had originally settled the area. Itwas, indeed, something to be proud of. Itwas something very unique to watch a town grow.

Today, Rainsville is a small town located in the Northeast corner of Alabamawith a population of 4,499 as of the 2000census. It is centrally located in an area ofrapid growth. In a radius of 75 miles, there is a population of approximately one million people.

It is Rainsville, Alabama that will welcome the North Alabama Championshipsthe weekend of June 15th and 16th. The Agri-Business Center will welcome USTRCTeam Ropers and it is an awesome facility. It is perfectly user friendly for USTRC team roping.

When census information showed asteady growth in Rainsville the communitylooked at their town and the surroundingareas and realized there was a need foradditional entertainment, especially for theyoung people. Because of this need, thevision for a state-of-the art Agri-BusinessCenter started. This is also why the boardadded so many things to this one project.Their goal was to be diversified to the pointthat the facility would serve everyone in thearea. It is obvious from their plans that theymet their goal.

The Agri-Business Center is a state of theart facility, which serves the City of Rainsville,Dekalb County, the seven surroundingcounties, and the tri-state area of Alabama,Georgia and Tennessee. The site consists of aforty-three acre tract, which is adjacent to acity owned recreational complex. Access tothe Agri-Business Center is directly offHighway 75, which isthe major North-Southhighway in the area. Itis this facility that willserve and host theNorth AlabamaChampionships.

While in the arearopers should takesome time and exploreand see all this part ofAlabama has to offervisitors. The mountainsof northeast Alabamaare full of manydelightful surprises thatentertain the mind,

body and senses. Enjoy nature hikes throughstate and national parks and preserves, viewscenic waterfalls and majestic overlooks, rideyour bike through forested paths that lead tohidden waterfalls and pristine brooks and flyfish from the Little River.

Perhaps if you are feeling a little moreadventurous and do not have enough ridingand roping you can rappel from sheer rockcliffs, kayak the raging Little River and gounderground to the “Looking Glass Lakes” atSequoyah Caverns. No matter what yourpreference - a quiet get-a-way or an adrenalinerush—it is available in the beautiful NortheastAlabama Mountains! Ropers should plan to seeit all...Just for the fun of it!

Ropers can also make the opportunity tocommune with nature in DeSoto State Park.There are overnight accommodations such asrustic cabins, modern chalets, campgroundsand motel rooms. Some units are handicapaccessible. Hiking and Biking trails, swimmingpool, tennis courts, playground and picnic areaare just part of what awaits ropers at the park.Voted as one of America’s top 10 state parks byCamping Life Magazine in their April 2006 issuethe park offers majestic scenery, waterfalls andcanyons. You can also walk the 1,000-ft. AzaleaCascades Boardwalk Trail.

Mrs. McCurdy had a sixth sense aboutRainsville, Alabama. From 1912 until the early1950s, Mrs. McCurdy taught thousands ofstudents at various schools in the area. Theportion of Highway 75 in the Rainsville citylimits is named McCurdy Avenue in honor of“Uncle Ed” and “Aunt Susie.”

USTRC Team Ropers are in for a greatweekend filled with fun, roping, history andfellowship when the North AlabamaChampionships rolls around. Be sure and markyour calendars. This is one event you will notwant to miss. Be there!

(** The events about Mrs. McCurdy arefictional fabrication based on a real person and character.)

ome people are just an accidentwaiting to happen. Take my friend

ReRide for example. Getting hurt isReRide’s “achilles heel”, which is about theonly part of his body he hasn’t broken,strained, cut, burned or shattered. Notthat I go around checking out other male’sanatomies or anything, but a mereglimpse of ReRide’s carcass is enough tomake any woman become a nun.

Years ago we were working our calvesand since we had all day to process 100head, about midmorning we decided totake a well-deserved break. This gave me alittle time to nail up a few more boards inthe corral, restock the refreshments in thecooler, refill syringes, put my ancientsqueeze chute back together and takestock of how much damage my neighborshad done to my cattle empire’sinfrastructure. We all grabbed a donut anda soft drink, and to save energy I turned

off the propane to my branding ironheater, which was just a short piece ofoilfield casing on four legs.

ReRide was telling another big windyto everyone and decided to getcomfortable by absent-mindedly sittingdown on the branding iron heater, as if itwere his favorite bar stool. Now, aphysicist could probably tell you how longit takes for an almost red-hot piece of pipeto cool to room temperature, but I’m nophysicist and, obviously, neither is ReRide.We all stood with our mouths agape as astrong smell of burning flesh, with just awhiff of Wranglers, wafted into our work space.

Due to ReRide’s calloused backsidefrom riding horses all his life, there was abrief disconnect, but when ReRide’s nervesynapses delivered the delayed messagehe launched from the branding ironheater like a rocket. Two of the better

ropers had to head and heel him so wecould tie him on the flat bed to haul to the hospital. We stood him up because itwas obvious he couldn’t sit down, andbesides, we figured the air circulationfrom driving real fast might cool histailpipe, so to speak.

Needless to say, ReRide was walking alittle funny as we entered the emergencyward where I helped him fill out reams offorms and answer all the embarrassingquestions. With a soft touch, I removedReRide’s smoking wallet to get his driver’slicense to hand to the lady at the ER desk.Then she asked ReRide the same questionthey ask all patients even if they only havea bleeding hang nail: “Do you have apower of attorney or a living will?”

“Is it that serious?” asked ReRide, stillrefusing to take a seat. After a mostuncomfortable hour-long wait ReRidefinally got to see someone in a white coat.I think her name was Dr. Euthanasia andshe told ReRide to do what all doctors dothe very first thing, even if it’s head injury.“Drop your drawers partner,” she ordered.

Let me just say it was not what you’dcall a clean brand. No, it looked more likea badly blotched lazy D. The Doctor did acursory exam and wrote out twoprescriptions, one for an ointment andone for some pain pills. “Time is the besthealer,” the Doc said. And a lot cheapertoo, as ReRide discovered when thehospital bill came.

We took ReRide home and put him inbed, bottoms up, of course, and went backto work. ReRide’s injury made it difficult toride a horse or even to perform bodilyfunctions, for that matter, but he survived.Although, he still walks a little funny andrefuses to sit down.

About a year later I was helping ReRidereroof his barn with a compressor and anair gun when somehow he manage tostaple his Wranglers to his left thigh. Ouch!

So once again I loaded ReRide up andtook him to the ER. Wouldn’t you know it,Dr Euthanasia was still on duty. SinceReRide couldn’t drop his drawers all theway, Dr. Euthanasia took a pair of scissorsand, starting at the top, proceeded to cut aperfectly good pair of Wranglers off him.The second the doctor exposed ReRide’sbranded bum a light came on in her eyesand she exclaimed, “Oh, I remember you!”

The 9th District Court of Appealsintends to make California “WINE FREEin ’33.” They also are consideringbanning the consumption or use ofsugar, domestically raised livestock,tobacco and firearms. Their reasoninghas something to do with climatechange. There is a proposition on thenext state ballot to ban climate change!To no one’s surprise the use of

marijuana has been excluded from “BanFever.” Their concern is the negativeeffect on Mexico’s economy. Manyborder state citizens are now supportedby their relatives in Mexico sendingthem money made in the drug trade.As these strict, new regulations

continue to get more and more bizarre,there is a blatant backlash sweeping thecountry. In California, the Union ofFarm Workers is protesting the

In addition, certain varieties ofcheese whose aroma has been definedas “too stinky” by the Sniff Committee,are also banned from manufacture orimportation in the U.S.These new regulations are part of a

continuing effort by ‘those who knowbest’ operating through the Departmentof Whimsy. They base their regulationson the premise that you can always findsomeone who is offended by someoneelse’s behavior or taste.It started innocently enough with the

separating of cigarette smokers to theback of airplanes. The requirement ofcontent labels on baked and cannedgoods followed. Then no smoking inairports, no sugar in soda pop. Then nosoda pop in schools, then no soda popin cities! Then the banning of bakedgoods, desserts, and Ben & Jerry’s IceCream in schools, then cities, then thenation. Twinkies, rich pastries andCinnaBuns were banned because theywere declared to be harmful to some.Fish caught in the wild were bannedbecause of possible mercury contentand farm-raised fish were banned due topossible salmon abuse.The battle goes on. The Animal

Rights Loonies have been trying foryears to ban the eating of horsemeat.They also are seeking the Department ofSensitivity to prevent the use of horsesfor fun or profit. The ownership of housepets are next on their agenda.

ell if you haven’t noticed by nowthe 2013 roping season is in full gear. If

you don’t believe me then just glance throughthe pages at the back of this fine publicationand you will remove any doubt you may have

place are listed here and it is literally mindboggling at the number of places one could gotrying to “scratch” that proverbial team roping“itch”. Just for kicks I looked back at some of theearly editions of The Superlooper and I was blownaway by how much our sport has changed inregards to when, where and how often we canactually go rope.

On the superficial side of things one mightthink that there is a team roping on every cornerand that a horse trailer would be a waste of moneyseeing how you could just saddle up and ridedown the street to the next one. Like I said that isthe superficial view of things but as all of us knowthat is really no where close to the reality of oursport. Just for fun pull out that globe of yours andplace a dot over where you call home and thenplace a dot at each of the ropings listed in thismonth’s edition. For a moment you will beamazed at how many dots there actually are butthat amazement will soon be dwarfed by the sheermagnitude of the distance one could travel inorder to get from one dot to another.

Now I know that is a little drastic seeing howthis month I can actually drive across town to theWest Texas Championships or I can load up andget myself to The Rope for the Lobsters ofTuckernuck in Nantucket, MA. This month thedecision should be a no brainer but this month is ayearly anomaly as well. As my wife will attest welive right smack dab in the middle of some of thebest roping in the country… 500 miles in anyeither direction!!! Now I also know that mychances of drawing a check here at home pale incomparison to my chances of actually placing inthe 1 X 1 round robin format there on the Isle ofMuskeget which is home to The Lobster Open, thepremiere roping event in the greater upperMassachusetts area so the decision is not as simpleas it might appear.

Anyway I must digress and actually get back tothe real meaning of this month’s attempt atjournalistic excellence. We are a mobile societyand team roping is a mobile sport. Although forsome of you there are multiple opportunities foryou to rope at several different venues over aweekend and never leave your zip code for manyof us going to rope means having to cross multiplearea codes just to find a practice pen. The sporthas become somewhat of a transient driven sportand although it may seem overwhelming to someon the outside it is merely a part of the sport tomost of us who actually try and live and playinside the sport. It’s the principle I refer to as“Gone Roping” as opposed to just “Roping”.

It is that “gone” element that is really at thecrux of what I am trying to communicate. Severalmonth’s ago I made a commitment to myself that Iwas going to make team roping a priority in my lifeagain. Not like quit my job and neglect my family

A Little Love Note

had. Not only is there a roping every weekend,there are literally a passel of ropingopportunities every weekend from which tochoose from. Compound the equation with thereality that not all the ropings that will take

124-25 Sports Med_Layout 1 5/7/13 2:42 PM Page 124


and friends but more so I feel like I am a betterperson when I am doing things that I enjoy, and Ido enjoy roping. Several months ago I also got adose of reality when I suffered my second heartattack before even having my fifty-third birthday.Although the first one came as somewhat of asurprise to say the least the second one came as acomplete surprise as it packed a punch of realityalong with it as well. The first one changed the wayI lived my life… The second one changed my life.

By changed the way I lived I mean I basicallychanged what I ate and how much I exercised afterthe first one. By changed my life I mean it literallyaffects every decision that my family and I makeand everything that we do. It was actually at 4:00a.m. as I was loading up to head out to Llano, TX amere 125 miles from home for my first roping inalmost ten years. I was trying my best to rummage around in the dark and not awaken mysleeping wife so as to leave with as little fanfare aspossible. I leaned over to give her a little kissgoodbye and I surprisingly found she was notsound asleep, rather she was sitting at the kitchentable patiently waiting on me to try and make myundetected escape.

Kinda like when I was a teenager and I wouldfind my mother at the kitchen table at 4:00spaceam waiting on me to try and make my undetectedentrance, but none the less there she sat, all alonein the dark stillness of the early morning with thosesame caring and loving eyes that my mother usedto show me. A myriad of thoughts came to mymind as to what was going on at this ridiculoushour of the night/morning but as I lifted my cup ofhot steaming coffee she had prepared me I foundthe answer sitting underneath.

This was going to be the first time that she andI were going to actually be apart since that secondepisode forever changed our lives. She and thegirls have been there every step of the way andalthough I have hoped that they would be obliviousto the whole situation I realized at that momentthat it has changed their there lives forever as well.I also realized that there was in fact a reason that atleast one of them had been there with me everystep of the way. It explained why someone wouldjust appear at the barn every once in a while just tosee what’s up. Why the “Man Cave” suddenlysmelled sweeter and was always better organizedand why my cell phone activity seemed to havemultiplied immensely.

You see they have found some comfort inknowing that if something else were to happen tome along the way that at least someone would bethere with me who would not only know who I wasbut more importantly know what I needed.Although it really goes much deeper than that thesimplicity of the message for this month’sinstallment is best summed up in the little notethat sat there on the table.

It started like this… My name is Mark W.Duncan and if you are reading this then there aresome things you really need to know…

The information that followed was not

something that would be of interest to you and Ihope that if our paths do happen to cross at aroping somewhere sometime that you have noneed to become privy to it. It was though a veryconcise and detailed accumulation of pertinentinformation that fits in my wallet that will be ofgreat benefit if in fact something does happento me while I am away from them. Some folksmight call it a medical history and informationform and in all reality that is exactly what it was,I just never saw one so well written.

The message is really very simple. If youhave the need to travel then you need to makesure that people who may not know you knowwhat you may need. Sometimes it’s the smallestthings that can make the biggest differencesespecially when it comes to emergencies.Please take the time to do this for yourself andyour loved ones. In a world where we really canhave information overload at our fingertips itwould be ashamed to forego something so verysimple as a little card on your person.

So back to my little love note as I like to callit. It ended like this… Thank you for what youhave done for my husband and the father of mydaughters. Know that he is loved!!! You mayreach me at the following numbers:

Sincerely, Pammy See you next month. Good luck… Good

Health… Good Roping… Good Riddance… &God Bless!!!

drag on for hours. Regardless, when I made arun to the trailer to refresh my stockpile ofsnacks I noticed there were no horses tied atthe trailer. I knew Buzzy was roping and JuneBug had been playing with some friends nearwhere I was sitting in the stands.

“Mmmm, wonder where her horse is?” Iwondered. I hurried back to the standsbecause Boss was going to rope shortly andnaturally I needed to do some filming. WhenBoss and his partner took the lead in theshort go round I was ecstatic and in theexcitement that ensued I forgot about the horse.

It wasn’t until later when June came forsome pocket change that I rememberedabout her horse. When I asked her horse shetold me she had tied him to the trailer.Mmmm, not good!

What transpired next comes together likea fog in my mind. Suddenly we had a horsemissing. Had he merely wandered off? Hadsomeone borrowed him? Heaven forbid, hadhe been stolen? Had he merely gotten loose and stopped to visit with someoneelse’s horse?

A missing horse is never a good thing. Itcauses a sinking pit in the bottom of yourstomach mostly because, in some ways, theyare like family and kids, dogs, or horses outof pocket is never a good thing.

I waited until Boss had a break in theroping then preceded to let him know aboutJune’s horse. He stared at me with that lookthat says, “Why weren’t you payingattention?” Suddenly, it appeared to be my fault.

Boss hollered at Donald and told himJune’s horse was missing and to keep his eyesopened. I went to find June. Boss headed tothe trailer to look around the area where wehad parked. Donald and Buzzy went to thestalls to make sure, on some whim that JuneBug might have gotten confused and puthim in the stall. When we all connected ashort time later we were batting zero.

June realizing there was now a problem

here is your horse?” Boss asked June Bug. “I thought

you were going to ride him around while wewere roping.” With a sheepish look shehemmed hawed around and told her dadshe had tied him to the trailer.

“Did Mom help you? “ he asked. “Wedon’t want him getting loose.” She assuredher dad she had secured her horse and allwas good. Boss took her word for it andproceeded to make his way around foranother team roping run.

It’s hard to really determine time framewhen you are at a team roping. Thingssometimes move fast in a head rush and ablur and other times things just seem to

know what purpose it serves. I know onthis particular day it had a happy ending,made us more aware and moreappreciative and like all happy endingsinvolving kids “all’s well that end’s well.”

If you find a loose horse go tell theannouncer that a loose horse was foundand has been put in such and such place.If you find a loose horse do all you can toreunite them with their family. If youknow someone is acting suspicious andnot someone you know pay attention andsee where they go and what they aredoing. If someone is just sort of hangingout they may be up to no good. Most teamropers are on a mission so someone justhanging out may be up to something thathas nothing to do with roping.

I took a deep breath and smiled as Iwatched Boss put June up on Digger. Sheclucked him off and I wondered whathorses would say if they could talk.

It isn’t fun when someone is missing. Ittakes all of our community of ropers totake care and make sure we are all okayand where we need to be.

Keep Ropin,Love Gracie

began to panic. Bawling and carrying onshe proceeded to have a fit that otherwisewould not have been an issue if the adultsinvolved were not beginning to approachpanic mode.

“I don’t want my horse to die,” shescreamed then added, “I don’t want him tolive with a bad man.” Calming her Bosspicked her up and set her in his saddle all the while assuring her things would be okay.

We all split up again and began tosearch the perimeters of the roping facilityto make sure he had not wandered off insearch of greener grass. A couple of otherropers began going from stall to stall tomake sure someone had not found a loosehorse and just penned him where he was.The kicker was the horse had a kid’s saddleon him and that, in and of itself, was anissue. Everyone, everywhere is always onthe lookout for a horse a “little kid” canride. That fact made me feel a bit nauseous.

Suddenly, my cell phone rang. It wasDonald’s number. When I answered Buzzysaid, “Hey mom, we found Digger. Donaldhas him and is bringing him to the trailer.Can you tell Dad?” Suddenly pent upemotions flooded and I burst into tears. Myhands shook as I dialed Boss. When heanswered I could still hear June fussing andstewing over her horse. There was nothingbut silence when I told Boss what Buzzyhad said. I’m sure his emotions mirroredmine but he just couldn’t or wouldn’t cry.

It was like a family reunion at the trailer.Digger and June hugged and she promisedto never leave him again. It seemed thehorse had wandered near the strippingchutes so one of the boys there had justcorralled him. Fortunately, he wasn’t on thehighway and perhaps even moreimportantly he had not been stolen.

The sad thing is there are horses stolenat ropings, rodeos and equine shows allacross the country. Horses much morevaluable than June’s Digger. Some arefound, some never are and some—well itscares me to say it.

The important thing is there is a tightnetwork of ropers and a community offellowship that pulls together and workstogether to increase the chance ofrecovering horses. We’ve all experienced theempty helpless feeling when a horse goesmissing. We have all shed the tears and felt the jubilance of a recovered and found horse.

I don’t know why anyone would stoop tothe level it takes to steal a horse. I don’t

have to fail a lot to learn. It’s like whenThomas Edison was trying to invent theincandescent lightbulb. After years offailures, a reporter said that he had to bevery frustrated. He said on the contrary,I’m very excited, I now know 600 waysthat won’t work and I’m that muchcloser to my goal.

I can relate to that kind of thinking. Ihave tried a million things that haven’tworked, but I have a few that do. We alldo. When you try to share thatinformation with someone and theydon’t want to hear it, let alone use it,what can a person do?

I’m convinced that anyone canchange, but they have to want to. It hasto be their idea. I heard a story one timethat the speaker told about himself. Tohis own admission, he was a slug. Hewas out of a job, had lost his family, andwas completely broke. He was still in hisbathrobe at noon on a weekday, whenhe got a knock on the door. He said itwas a Girl Scout, all dressed up in heruniform selling Girl Scout cookies. Shesaid, “Excuse me sir, but would you liketo buy some Girl Scout cookies?” He toldher, “I already bought some last week”.The little girl replied, “thank you forsupporting the Girl Scouts of America”and walked away. As he closed the door,he said to himself “That’s it. When aperson has to lie to a Girl Scout becausethey don’t have enough money to buy acookie, that’s the bottom.” He decided toturn his life around and he did.

Zig Ziglar said one time that he hadmade an amazing discovery in his life.You know what it was? People aredifferent! He said that if you ask onehundred people to raise three fingers, 90of them would hold up the middle threefingers. Nine of them would hold up the

W last three fingers, and there would beone odd duck that would hold up histhumb, index and middle finger.

I have spent a lot of time and energyarguing with ducks because they didn’thold up the same three fingers as I do. Iassume that because I hold up themiddle three, that I’m right and the restof the world is wrong. For some reason,it was important that I tell them aboutit. Show them the woes of their ways.

When I would see someone drivingin the fast lane on the freeway and theywere going slow and holding up traffic, Ieven motioned that they should moveover. I had become like a traffic cop, ifyou will.

When Barbara Bush was First Lady, areporter asked her one time if she hadseen a new board game that was out onthe market. The name of it was Kill thePresident. The reporter asked what shethought about it. She calmly replied thatshe would never let her grandchildrenplay a game like that and she hoped hewouldn’t either, but that was up to him.What a classy thing to say.

Zig Ziglar was right when he said thatpeople are different and all people areentitled to their opinions and actions. Ifyou want to go to the store and buy thatgame, or drive slow in the fast lane andhold up traffic, go ahead. I’m not, butI’m no longer going to try to convinceyou that I’m right and you’re wrong.

Unless you ask me, I’m keeping myopinion to myself.

I only have a certain amount of timeleft, and none of us know how muchtime that is. I’m not spending one moresecond arguing.

Until next month,Thanks for your time

Walt Woodard

hat’s the most valuable thingthat any of us possess? It’s notfamily, possessions or money.

It’s time! What dying man or womenwouldn’t give all their money for fivemore years of time? I would! I love ithere. Every day is like a new adventure,so when I waste time, it’s like I’mwasting my life.

As I’ve gotten older I have come torealize that I have wasted a lot of timearguing with people, and it’s upsetting tome. I’m not a confrontational person.Some people are. They can have aproblem with someone and go right onthe next day like nothing everhappened. I’m not that way. If I have aproblem with someone I think about it,worry about it, and get disappointed inmyself that I let it get to that point. Sobecause of that, I’m done arguing.

I have had people come to a ropingschool, not a lot but some, and they’reinterested in heeling to which I knowsomething about. The person wouldthrow as soon as the steer turns. Theyare on the wrong side of the steer,completely out of time, their tip is toohigh, and they miss. I ride up and pointout all of those things, and the person insome cases will argue. I’m not doing thatanymore. I’m going to tell you what I doand why I do it. You tell me what you do,and the way that makes the most senseand produces the best results is thedirection I’m going.

No one knows what’s exactly rightand exactly wrong. We’re going to haveto die and ask God. So before thathappens we’re going to have to usecommon sense and good judgement,the old trial-and-error method. That’swhy, in most cases, it takes until you getolder to become successful because you
