change, but I think it is important toembrace it and use it in a positive manner.We are each molded and shaped everyday,and it is our duty to accept the positiveand then change for the better and discardthe negative.

TyAnn, my daughter, just turned twoyears old last month and she has been ahuge change in my life. Each day shechanges and evolves into the person she isto become. Her life is filled with so manynew experiences and changes that it isalmost mind boggling. She is learning newstuff, trying new things and molding intobeing her own little person. My wife and Ilooked at each other the other night atdinner and Jodi said, “She’s not a littlebaby any more. Does it make you sad? Shewill never be that little baby again.”

Yes, in a way it does make me sad,however, I am also excited for her becauseshe has a multitude of opportunitiesbefore her. She has a billion paths toexplore and can go in any direction shechooses. Each day God defines and shapesher for what He will use her for. It is veryexciting to watch her change and evolve.

What can change do for you? Will youresist the change that arises in your life orwill you embrace it and use it for positive?Take a step back from your life, and justlike Speed used the video of my roping tohelp me improve, look at the big picture ofyour life and revise and amend it tobecome better. See what little things youcan improve on, or adjust to fullymaximize your potential. Whether werealize it or not, just like TyAnn, we have abillion paths before us. Life is an openroad and the more we change andtransform the better we will be. If we havechosen the wrong one, it is never too lateto change directions and go down anotherpath, and that is just the way it is....

Just the Way It Is

and we went in for class. We watched thevideo and he began to break things downfor us. It is amazing what he can see andtell you about team roping. He began tocritique both Jade and I and everything hepointed out was right there in full color onthe big screen. It became very apparent Ineed to make some changes, adjustmentsand transformations.

From there it was back to the practicepen. He had us do some drills on the HotHeels and work out some of our issues thatneeded change or adjustment. Next, it wasback to live cattle. Just like anything else,old habits are hard to break andsometimes it is difficult to change. Istruggled in some areas, but workedthrough it and made some of theadjustments really well. After the nextsession we went back to the video to seewhere we were in our progress. One thingabout the video is that it takes all guesswork and argument away from theequation. Where I thought I had changeddrastically, I realized from the video that Ihad not made as big of an adjustment as Ifirst thought. The thing is, now I reallyknow and could see what I needed to workon and what areas I needed to focus moreattention. Speed and speedroping.comwere extremely helpful and insightful. The whole session made a big difference in understanding what I needed to do tobe better.

The bottom line was I needed tochange to become better. It was not andhas not been easy, but I have been workingon it. Although I didn’t see immediateresults, as I have subtly changed, I haveseen vast improvement.

Change is not always easy and it comesto us in our lives in various ways. Maybewe get a new job, or maybe we move to anew location. It is easy to fight and resist

t is already May and summer is lurking near. The temperatures

have warmed up and the days arelonger, so there is more daylight to ropeand do other things after work. The yearhas really flown by, and sometimes Istruggle to hang on as this ol’ world circles the Sun.

This month I want to talk aboutchange. I know there has been a lot of talkabout change in politics, but that is notwhere I am headed. Change is defined as “making or becoming different -transforming.” We all go through change inour lives and sometimes change is good,while other times it may be negative,depending on how you handle it. I reallylike to focus on positive change.

Recently I had the opportunity to rope with World Champion Team Roper and owner of speedroping.com,Speed Williams. My brother-in-law JadeCornia was in town and my wife and I setup a time for him to have a session withSpeed and I tagged along. Speed had been prodding me to come rope with him for over two years and I finally made it over.

Speed has a unique way of teachingand I really enjoyed the day. He starts offby just letting you rope and setting updifferent scenarios for you. For example,he would have Jade and I rope a steer likewe were high team back and had to benine seconds to win the roping. He didn’tsay a word to either of us. He just had usvideoed. After a few pens of steers and allsorts of situations we let our horses rest

Last month we covered you headers. This month we turnto the heelers. For those of you that cannot remember

stuff from one month the next, (i fit very comfortably in thatcategory) here is a summation of what you are going to find ineach of this month’s overabundance of charts:

The data in each of these column charts was taken from allthe USTRC sanctioned ropings held during the 2012 season,not including the Regionals or the Cinch National Finals.Each chart represents one of the USTRC’s eight standarddivisions, Open through #8 Pick/Draw. The basics of eachchart are the same. The x-axis (that’s the horizontal one thatgoes along the bottom of the chart) is the classification

By the Numbersby John Findlay

Part IIWhich Heelers Enter

Which Divisions

number of the heelers entered in the particular division refered toin the title at the top of the chart. The y-axis, the vertical one, isthe number of heeler entries over the course of the season. Irepeat, these are heeler ENTRIES, not individual headers. As youall know, a roper in a sanctioned roping can enter a given divisionup to four times. Take a look at the first chart for the OpenDivision. The tallest column in the chart sits on top of theclassification #10. It means that there are more #10 heeler entries(608) in the Open Division than any other heeler classificationnumber. Second in the Open are #9 heeler entries (421) closelyfollowed by Elite #8 entries (368). You’ll notice that all the chartsinclude elite numbers.

443 Unique Ropers Entered 56 Different Open Events for a Total of 1,4474 Entries

750 Unique Ropers Entered 70 Different #15 Events for a Total of 3,299 Entries

Heeler Entries in #15 2012 Sanctioned Ropingsby Heeler Handicap Number

12-14 By the Numbers_Layout 1 4/4/13 3:53 PM Page 12


CAVEAT: These numbers are not exact but they are a verygood portrayal. But here is the reason why they are not exact. My data for ropers provides what the roper’s classificationnumber was at the end of the season. Therefore, those roperswhose numbers were either raised or lowered during the seasonwould not be accurately represented in these charts. To adjustfor this fact, for these charts I eliminated the following records:headers whose classification numbers exceeded the cap forthose divisions that have caps and the headers that were onteams whose number combination exceeded the divisionclassification. The assumption in both cases was that thenumber or numbers of either or both ropers had probably been raised during the season. Since I had no way of knowingwhich one, I just eliminated them from the records. The result is that these numbers are not precise but the ratios most likely are.

At the bottom of each chart you will find you will find threenumbers for each division, (1) the number of unique ropers whoroped in the division, (2) the total number of sanctioned eventsentered and (3) the total number of header entries. Rememberthat numbers for one and two are going to be less than theactual number since I eliminated the records of ropers thatprobably had their numbers bumped. For example, in the Openchart you will see that there were 503 headers over the course of2012 that entered 61 Open ropings a total of 2,094 times, notcounting the eliminated records.

While there is nothing here that you all probably did notintrinsically know, I found it interesting to see how the headerclassification numbers shook out over the season. Now thesecharts don’t tell you who won at these ropings, it just tells you,overall, how headers enter in each division. Oh, and heelers,your next. Come back next month.

“We had to make the short go round of the Preliminary torope in the Shoot-Out,” Tyson Thompson said. “We did notrope together in the Preliminary but we did place and thatgave us a shot.”

Thorp and Thompson were the fourth high team comingback into the short go round of the #11 Shoot-Out. Thorpdidn’t even have a head horse. Fortunately for the pair, afellow team roper loaned him one and it was a good one. It was a seasoned horse and all Thorp had to focus on was roping.

The fact Tyson and Thompson switch ends to practicegave them an advantage as the short go round unfolded.

“I tend to get a little nervous when I head because I love toheel and I heel a lot. We both like to heel,” Thorp explained.

An awesome prize line was available to the winners of the#11 Shoot-Out. Not only were the ropers shooting at $102,500but they were also looking at Gist Championship Goldbuckles, Tony Lama Ostrich boots, Martin ChampionshipTrophy saddles and Western Horseman Collector’s Prints. It

Champions ProfileAnd Then There Was One / Show Me the Money

When you love team roping and heeling is your passion how do you partner with another heeler?

How do you make that work? Wesley Thorp and TysonThompson love to rope. More than that they love to heeland yet, because of their passion, they are willing to switchoff to make their partnership work.

Who heads for the duo in the practice pen? Actually theyboth head and they both heel and it has made them betterpartners, better competitors and better ropers. They tradeoff, taking turns heading and heeling for each other and ithas certainly worked to their advantage.

With that kind of talent and that kind of initiative, thepair is a force to contend with and they are certainly on thesame page when it comes to roping for the big bucks.

The sum of $102,000 is a lot of money. For two teen-ageheelers it is actually more than they can wrap their mindsaround. In the beginning it didn’t make much differencebecause it was just about roping, heeling, having a goodtime and being at the 2012 Cinch USTRC National Finals ofTeam Roping.

The odd thing was the pair was almost not entered in the#11 Shoot-Out roping. Fortunately their placing in the #11Preliminary qualified them to rope in the #11 Shoot-Out.

was enough to cause one to take a deep breath andscramble with nerves.

When the pair posted a time of 7.03 on their short goround steer to take the lead in the Average there werethree teams left to rope. It suddenly became a verytedious, nerve wracking waiting game.

“I knew Wesley was good for our steer,” Thompsonsaid. “I just needed to get the steer caught. Just as I turnedaround in the box Wesley nodded for our steer and I was alittle late but Wesley was good for the run and I took myshot and it worked.”

Watching the last three teams go didn’t really eat on

Thorp or Thompson. Despite being a waitinggame they were both satisfied with howthings had come together and any way itworked out was going to be good for them.The pair was setting very solid in the Average.

As the pair watched the last three teamsrope they felt secure when no one movedthem and only one team remained. When the high call back team failed to make aqualified run the pair suddenly realized they had actually won the Average in the #11 Shoot-Out.

“I just can’t put it together in my head,”Thompson said. The pair was suddenly thecelebrities of the hour as cameras flashed and

crowds of family and friends swarmed them.“It is pretty fun to switch ends and win a roping like

this,” Thorp said with a huge grin on his face. “ I feel a lotbetter. It makes a big difference to have good partners andgood steers. We sure finished up big.”

Thorp and Thompson are a pair of young guns who willbear watching in the future. They are competitive, focusedand willing to spend the time it takes to win. When the dustcleared and the numbers tallied two young ropers emerged.And Then There was One, Wesley Thorp and TysonThompson, the winners of the #11 Shoot-Out at the 2012Cinch USTRC National Finals of Team Roping.

appreciate cranky old men. If it weren’t for them,I probably wouldn’t have lived past 20 years old.

These cranky old men taught me how to take careof my horse, drive a rig, and how to read cattle and

horses. My grandfather and the men from hisera were hard people; if you lost a horse or a cow in thewoods it could mean the difference between having food forthe winter or going hungry. My grandpa wanted you to doeverything at a trot. You had to have a sense of urgency toyour actions, or you could end up with your butt whippedfor being a slacker.One time, my grandpa whipped me and I called my dad

and told him what had happened. My dad said, “I’ll be rightover.” So I told Grandpa, “Now you wait and see whathappens to you, my dad’s coming.” He just laughed and said,“Okay.” So I sat outside until Dad showed up. I ran out to thecar, and he got out with a belt. I got another whipping. As Ilooked around, grandpa was on the porch with a big smileon his face. That’s when I realized there was a code ofconduct that needed to be followed to survive.I appreciate the hustle, the diligence and the

determination that my grandfather’s generation had. If youweren’t tough, you didn’t survive.My grandpa told me that in bootcamp there were a lot of slackerswhen it came to digging fox holes,and when he was in Guam a lot ofthose slackers died the first daybecause they weren’t any good atdigging. They ran out of breathand didn’t dig fast enough, so theywere shot on open ground.Nowadays, a lot of people get

all stirred up if you say anything totheir kids about their behavior.That’s not the cowboy way or theAmerican way. A few years ago,Kelly and I were coming out of themovie theater in Stephenville andthis kid about 14 was trying tothrow a garbage can through aglass door into this store. So Ipulled over and asked him how hewould like to have his buttspanked and then have the copscalled on him. He said he didn’t

want either, so I made him turn his cap around forward, pull up his pants,tuck his shirt in, and walk home like a regular citizen. I told him if I ever sawhim do anything like that again, I would find his dad and tell him. The boysaid not to worry, he wasn’t going to do that again. You see, I really appreciatethe cranky old men that did that for me and we need to keep it going if wewant our lifestyle to survive.I pulled into Yuma, Arizona when I was about 17. It had rained, and I had

the radio turned up loud. I was really cool, you see, and I was driving way toofast in the parking lot. A horse that was tied to a trailer swung his butt out,and I hit the brakes and slid into this horse. I bumped him pretty good. Aboutthis time, an old man jerked me out of my car, slapped me, threw me againstmy car and asked me how I would like to get my butt kicked. I’m thinking, Ithought I just did! He said that if his horse was lame he was taking mine, andI was going to think twice about my speed the next time I drove into a rodeogrounds. He said there were kids, horses and dogs to watch out for. Well, thatlesson has lasted 38 years. Every time I pull into a rodeo, I drive slowly in theparking lot. I’m still afraid that old man might jump out and grab me, eventhough he would be 100 years old by now. I often wonder how many times Ididn’t hit a little boy running with a rope, or a dog, or a wife pushing a babyand all thanks to that cranky old man.Last year, I was at this arena and I watched a guy take his halter off, throw

it on the ground and start to mount up. So I started to say, “Hey that’s notsafe, you need to untie your halter from the fence and hang it somewhereelse, or at least pick the halter up off the ground,” but I told myself, “Just shutup, you’re not at a school, mind your own business.” Well, this guy mountedup, loped in a big circle, and I couldn’t believe what I’m seeing. He loped bythis halter and his horse stuck a hind leg in the halter. It jerked the horse backand crippled him. Now he can’t ride him. I don’t know how many times myfather-in-law, Hal Burton, has taught me lessons like this. He would say,“Look here dummy, don’t leave your halters down,” or “Don’t feed that kindof feed,” or “Wake up dummy, you got to cinch up the back cinch tight so youdon’t sore the withers on your horse.”My point is, if you young ropers pay attention (and sometimes its not just

young ropers, its green ropers or horsemen who don’t have a lot of wisdom orexperience with the sport), the old guys who have been around can reallyhelp. You just need to listen up when they tell you something.Here are a few things to help you survive: Drive slow in the parking lot.

Untie your halter from the fence and hang it on the fence or put it in yourrope bag. Don’t follow closer than three lengths of your rig when haulinghorses at any speed. Don’t take a stall or pen with buckets in it. Don’t tie upwhere somebody has put their halter and rope bag. Don’t tie your horsewhere another horse could kick him. If your horse is kicks, train him not tokick. If you don’t know how, contact Jim Cooper, Sr. Always be polite to thesecretary; she doesn’t work for you and she could not let you rope. Thesecretary is the most important person at the roping.There are many cowboy rules that people need to abide by, and if you

don’t know the rules don’t be too upset if some cranky old man helps you out.Don’t let pride get in the way of you becoming a real man and a real cowboy.

N ow that the weather hasfinally warmed up,horse owners are

starting to spend more time with theirhorses, and are looking forward toeven more enjoyable riding weather.There are some nutritional concerns,however, during this season, and somemanagement issues we shouldaddress to ensure the health andperformance of our horses.

First, as we start working ourhorses more, we must increase theplane of nutrition to ensure that thehorse’s increased requirements aremet. Energy is possibly the mostimportant nutrient to consider in aworking horse. As a horse worksharder, its energy (calorie)requirement increases, and we mustsupply those additional calories in aform that will not compromise thehorse’s digestive health. We can addmore calories by increasing theamount of grain in the ration, butgrain is high in starch, and too muchstarch (and other soluble carbohydrates)may lead to digestive disturbances suchas colic and/or laminitis. Safer energysources include fat and fermentablefibers. Feeds such as Purina’s Ultium®Competition, Strategy® ProfessionalFormula GX, and Omolene #500® HorseFeed are higher in fat and fermentablefibers, and lower in starch thantraditional sweet feeds, therefore areexcellent feeds to increase the calories ina working horse’s diet. Omolene #200®

Horse Feed is another excellent feed for these situations, as more of the caloriesare supplied by fat, and less by starch. These performance feeds also contain theamino acids, vitamins and minerals to support the increased demands of theperformance horse. Keep in mind that all feeding changes must be madegradually, so it is important to gradually increase the amountof feed as the horse’s work load increases.

If you are not planning to ride your horse hard, however,or your horse is naturally an easy keeper, a concentrated feedsuch as Nature’s Essentials® Enrich 32® Supplement may bethe best way to meet the horse’s nutritional needs withoutadding many calories. If your horse stays in good bodycondition (not too fat or too thin) on just hay or pasture,

feeding one to two pounds of Nature’s Essentials® Enrich 32® or Enrich 12®Supplement will provide the protein, vitamins and minerals that the horse needsto stay healthy.

Next, we need to keep in mind that the forage portion of the horse’s diet may bechanging, and we must be aware that some of these changes may be problematicfor some horses. For some horses, the advent of spring means that the source offorage changes from hay to fresh grass. If this is the case, the horse owner shouldtake care to minimize the risk of laminitis as horses are exposed to fresh pastures.

Why can fresh grass cause laminitis in horses? During the process ofphotosynthesis, plants manufacture sugars that are either used for metabolicprocesses such as growth, or are stored as polysaccharides such as starch orfructan. The storage form of the sugars depends on the plant species. In certainsituations, such as the warm sunny days and chilly nights that we see in the spring

It’s Spring —Ready,

Set,

Ride!

By Dr. Katie Young, Consulting EquineNutritionist, Purina Mills, LLC

26-27 Horse Health_Layout 1 4/9/13 10:20 AM Page 26

How then do we manage pastures to minimize the risk of laminitis? Horsesthat are kept on pasture year-round usually adjust to the new grass as it grows.

Nature does a fairly good job of making the pasture changegradually. The problems usually occur when horses havebeen confined and fed a hay and grain diet during the winter,and are then abruptly turned out on the lush green pasturein the spring. Further, horses that have been kept up throughthe winter may overeat when turned out because of thepalatability of the lush green foliage. This sudden change inthe diet, especially when it includes a rapid influx of the

unfamiliar fructan into the hindgut,may trigger digestive upset.

There are several ways to preventor minimize problems whenintroducing horses to spring pastures.Feeding hay immediately before turn-out may help keep horses fromovereating, since they are less likely toovereat on an already full stomach.Restricting grazing time will also help

minimize risks. A suggested schedule is: thirty minutes of grazingonce or twice a day on the first day of grazing; then increase grazingtime by 5-10 minutes per day until the horses are grazing 4-6 hours per day total. At this point, they have adapted to the green grass.

One final consideration when getting back into the saddle is the condition of the horse. On that first warm sunny day, it is verytempting to head out to the barn for a nice, long trail ride to enjoythe great weather. However, if you have not been riding your horseregularly through the winter, your horse is not conditioned for thattype of physical activity (and possibly neither are you!). To preventmuscle soreness, and possibly “tying-up”, horses should be graduallyreintroduced to work. Start with slow, easy work and short workouts,and gradually increase the intensity and duration of the workoutsuntil your horse is adequately conditioned. This will help decreasethe risk of problems and injuries in your horse. It may take up to 90 days to get a horse properly conditioned for strenuous physical workouts.

Once your horse’s nutritional and management considerations areaddressed, and your horse is adequately conditioned for the desired workload,you are ready to head out and enjoy the season!

and the fall, the plants use fewer sugars forgrowth, and therefore store more aspolysaccharides. This cancause problems for horses,especially when the sugarsare stored as fructan, becausefructan does not appear to bedigested in the horse’s uppergut (where starch is digestedand absorbed), but insteadpasses into the hindgutwhere it is fermented by the

microbes. It is this fermentation of fructanthat appears to be a trigger factor for colicand/or laminitis, similar to a grain overloadin horses. The fermentation offiber carbohydrates in thehindgut is normal, and does notcause digestive disorders in thehorse. Other environmentalconditions that can affect theamount of polysaccharidestorage in plants includedrought stress, duration andintensity of sunlight, salinity(salt content) of soil, and overallhealth of the plant. Again, somespecies of grass, including coolseason grasses, tend to storesugars as fructan, while others,the warm season grasses, tendto store sugars as starch and areless likely to cause problems.

At the risk of sounding like a broken record (pun intended),records weren’t just broken at this year’s George Strait TeamRoping Classic (GSTRC); they were smashed.

A record 685 teams competed in front of record attendancefor a record payout totaling nearly $1 million dollars. And, thechamp on the heading side, Garrett Tonozzi, pocketed a recordcash amount just a tad over $183,000, thanks to not onlywinning with partner/heeler Dugan Kelly, but also double-dipping with heeler York Gill for the second place cache as well.

Held each spring at the Rose Palace in San Antonio, Texas,this year’s event on March 8-9 offered an unprecedented

$262,120 to the winning team of Garrett Tonozzi and DuganKelly (that’s $131, 060 per man), plus new Chevy dually trucks,Bruton Easy Pull Trailers, custom saddles, rope bags, jackets,and miscellaneous other trinkets to pack home. Not a bad haulin less than 48 hours, even to seasoned veterans and WranglerNational Finals’ (WNFR) qualifying cowboys who have ropedunder high pressure for major loot many times, but stillconsider the GSTRC the epitome of opportunity.

Obviously, Country Music Hall-of-Famer, avid team roper,and GSTRC founder/producer George Strait and companyknow a little something about success, longevity and

growth–three attributes that definitely describe what reigns asthe premier team roping event in the world and is described as“life changing” by the sport’s top participants. And, not that itneeds it, but another “attraction” mentioned by ropers isStrait’s loyalty and passion for the sport and contestants,including a friendly format that often allows teams to competeelsewhere the same day if need be to keep up with their prorodeo schedules.

Friday is elimination day, where teams are broken downinto 50 team rotations (two steer progressive) and the fivefastest times in each rotation qualify for Saturday’s finals andthe record amount of loot. The rotation format is popular as itallows ropers to just compete within their own rotation of 50teams, and to know their standing fairly quickly–opposed tothe old format where all 685 teams would have roped againsteach other and awaited an outcome that usually wasn’t knownuntil well after midnight.

As impressive as the competition is Friday, Saturday’s finalsshowcases the “who’s who” of the roping world with less than asecond often separating the top teams. Yet, when asked aboutstrategy when backing in the box with nearly $1 million atstake, each year’s champs describe being as cool ascucumbers, opting for the “one steer at a time” plan.

Tonozzi and Kelly were no exception, and also no strangersto pressure, major competition, or each other. For the win, theduo roped their first two steers on Saturday with 5.3-secondtimes, and needed to be 5.6 on their final steer to take thelead...with four teams left to go. No problem; they stretchedtheir final steer in 4.8, instantly pocketing the lion’s share ofclose to $1 million in combined cash and prizes.

Garrett Tonozzi grew up in a roping family, his uncle beingnine-time WNFR-qualifying team roper Bret Tonozzi. Garrettjoined the Professional Rodeo Cowboy’s Association (PRCA) in2004, and since that time has banked over $450,000 in

career earnings and qualified for the WNFR twice, in 2006 and2008. To put things in perspective, his win at this year’s GSTRCyielded him well over three times his 2012 PRCA earnings. Heand Kelly were second high-call at last year’s GSTRC, but aslipped leg bumped them to a solid seventh place finish.Interestingly, Tonozzi had also placed in the past at the eventwith York Gill as well.

Obviously, “the ability to rope for that much money” is themajor draw to the GSTRC, and he says the key is to essentiallytreat it like another day at the office.

“It’s amazing how much this roping has progressed,”Tonozzi shared. “I’ve roped at it for about eight years. You justalways try to rope to the best of your ability, and alwaysprepare yourself for any situation, and if you do, there’s nopressure,” he continued. “You just play these scenarios in yourhead, and it was just my day that day.”

However, the aftermath wasn’t quite as routine, when therealization hit that they’d won.

“I was in shock. I don’t even know what I was thinking,” helaughed. “It was an amazing feeling, I couldn’t talk, I waspumped, my family was pumped. I rode up the arena andstepped off and called my mom, she already knew, then myuncle and grandparents were calling...everybody was just so

In addition to setting a record for most money earned at the event, and earning championship trucks and trailers, Dugan Kelly and Garret Tonozzibanked an array of other prizes, thanks to long-time GSTRC sponsors.

pumped,” he said. The spoils of the GSTRC have allowed winners to invest in

land, pay off debt, and change their lives in various other ways.So far, Tonozzi admits buying some new golf clubs, a youngtalented horse he’s had his eye on, and he’s consideringinvesting in some land around his home turf of Fruita, Colo.His mom had the honor of driving the championship righome; en route she was flagged down and “mistaken” forGeorge Strait, and also approached by a couple wanting to buysome CDs. Tonozzi was aboard his 10-year-old bay gelding “Elvis” who

he’s owned since 2009. “I rode him all winter at the rodeos,” Tonozzi said, “and he’s

just been great. He scores so good, he’s flat across the line, andjust lets you throw when you want to. He’s just easy to ropeon,” he added. Partner Dugan Kelly is also far from rookie status; the

California cowboy joined the PRCA in 1998 and has over$651,000 team roping earnings to his credit along with fiveWNFR qualifications. In 2012 alone, he banked $109,128; inless than two days at the GSTRC he pocketed $131,060.Consequently, he couldn’t praise the GSTRC enough. “When you have a chance to win so much money and

prizes, and $1500 for the rounds, and three chances to winwith three partners, this roping really stands out,” heexplained. “There’s nothing else for the upper level ropers thatoffers this kind of payout and I have to really give it up toGeorge. He’s a busy guy who goes out of his way for us. It’sphenomenal, and he doesn’t even have to do it. This ropingjust gets better and better, he goes above and beyond, it’s

already the best but he continues to make it better and useshis personal connections to get sponsorships, and I just wantto thank him for that,” Kelly said. After opportunity squeaked by last year, Kelly changed his

strategy just a little bit. While it’s imperative to be aggressive atthis level, it still boils down to simply catching. “They give away so much money, if you even place you’ll be

happy,” he said. “So it’s best to just catch and see where thechips fall. And this year, we were really happy!” he laughed. Kelly’s also found his experiences behind the wheel of the

championship rig, adorned with George’s picture, quitehumorous. “Something happens every day. People take pictures of it,

they’re always looking and swerving...it’s dangerous to haveGeorge’s picture on the trailer!” he laughed. “People ask ifGeorge is in there, they just go nuts. Everywhere we go peopletake pictures. I can’t imagine being him. He’s got lots of fans,and rightfully so. He’s a legend,” Kelly said. For the win, he was aboard his good sorrel gelding

“Circleback” that he co-owns with Darren Shetler. Kellydescribed the horse as being “real quick footed, cowy, and goodat quick set ups and short barriers”–perfect for this situation. All champions have a great support crew, and both men

had a list to thank. Tonozzi’s sponsors include Cactus Ropes,Wrangler, Jaco Brands and Elgin Veterinary Hospital.

Pink; Heel-O-Matic; Formula 1 Horse Supplements; Leo andJulie Ringer; his lovely wife Brittany–and “many more.”

“I just want to thank everybody along the way that madethis win possible, and hopefully do more of it!” he said.

Back to broken records–both men credited the GSTRC forbeing “life changing.”

“I never thought, growing up, you could rope for this kindof money,” Tonozzi admitted. “You always hear that there’s noway to make money with a rope, but this roping actuallychanges lives,” he said.

Kelly couldn’t agree more. “You realize with that many good ropers, things have to go

your way, and thank God they did, and that our horses felt good,we had our minds right, and everything fell into place,” he said.

“This roping is on the bucket list of ropings to win,” hecontinued. “This type of money helps us go down the road,sets us up to buy horses, pay entry fees–whatever. It just reallytakes the stress off. We rope because we love to, but it can beexpensive and stressful and not so fun, but a win like thismakes it really fun, when the stress is gone,” he laughed.

Overall, he’s still shocked he won, and just downright grateful. ““I’d also like to thank Garrett, he did an outstanding job

with his partners, he rocked the barrier, and made my job easy.I just want to thank everybody involved for even making thispossible,” he concluded.

Each year the Heavy Duty truckmanufacturerscontinue to improvetheir heavy duty lineof trucks. Bigger

payloads, more equipment,stylish comfort and better mileageseems to top the headlines whenit comes to these trucks. However,for many, these are work vehicles,used when hauling a load of feedor pulling your trailer to and fromevents. On the other hand, thelighter duty pickup market lends folks their ideal everyday ride—the one used to travel toand from work, pick up the kids from school and ‘deliver the groceries,’ so to speak.

Today’s light duty trucks flood the market and everyone from your neighbor’s grandma tothe high school kid who want to step up into their vehicle and show off their country rootsusually do it in a light duty model truck. Although they may not be able to haul and pull theheaviest of loads, these trucks fit the mold for many who use the open bed cargo space andthe high visibility of a truck for their everyday vehicle.

With that in mind, SuperLooper wanted to stray away from our annual heavy-haulerFeature Issue and focus on the many amenities that are packed into the half-ton modelpickups from today’s three big U.S. truck makers.

Beginning in third-quarter 2013, Ram will become the only brand to offer a small-displacement diesel for its

half-ton line of trucks.The 2014 Ram 1500 will offer a new, 3.0-liter EcoDiesel

engine, mated with the eight-speed TorqueFlite automatictransmission. The powertrain is expected to deliver anoutstanding combination of best-in-class fuel efficiency, best-in-class torque and impressive capability.

“Truck owners have been emphaticallyasking for it, and Ram will be the onlymanufacturer to offer a diesel powertrainin the half-ton segment with the 2014Ram 1500 EcoDiesel,” said Fred Diaz,President and CEO — Ram Truck Brandand Chrysler de Mexico, ChryslerGroup LLC. “The half-ton truck market is incredibly competitive, and although we’re honored the Ram 1500 has received a number ofprestigious awards, we cannot rest on what we have accomplished, we must keep pushing.”

The 2013 Ram 1500 won MotorTrend’s Truck of the Year, The NorthAmerican Truck of the Year andTruck of Texas — a rare trifecta inthe pickup segment. Building onthe award-winning truck, the 2014Ram 1500 EcoDiesel will further stretch its best-in-class fuel economy title lead and continue to raise the

innovation bar in one of the automotive industry’s mostcustomer-loyal segments.

“The Ram 1500 with 3.0-liter V-6 turbo EcoDiesel andTorqueFlite eight-speed transmission deliver on thedemands of truckers by providing best-in-class torque, fuel economy and range. There’s no doubt that being theonly truck manufacturer to offer this game changingtechnology will provide Ram with a competitive advantage,”added Diaz.

The new 3.0-liter V-6 EcoDiesel is among today’s mostadvanced diesel engines. Its emissions are 60 percent lessthan those produced by diesel powertrains 25 years ago. Theimpressive combination of torque and fuel economy marksnew levels of performance for small V-6 engines.

Ram’s newest turbo diesel engine is manufactured by VMMotori, a Chrysler Group diesel engine supplier since 1992.

Over the past 10 months, the Ram Truck brand hasset an aggressive product cadence.

Ford recently unveiled theFord Atlas Concept to

showcase the design,capability, fuel efficiency andsmart technologies that willdefine future pickup trucks.

“The Ford Atlas Concept previews the innovations that will transform what peopleexpect from their pickup,” said Raj Nair, Ford group vice president, Global ProductDevelopment. “With 36 years as America’s best-selling pickup, we are absolutelycommitted to setting the agenda in the truck market.”

The Ford Atlas Concept is inspired by decades of listening to customers at the places they work and play. The result is a purpose-driven design with prominent wheel arches, a widestance and chiseled grille – all toreinforce its functional Built FordTough® image.

Designers enhanced truckfunctionality, while creating newadvanced features. For example,multiple tie-down points areintegrated within the cargo boxwalls and load floor, along with110-volt electrical outlets inthe cargo box to charge powertools. An integrated roofcarrying system and hiddenextendable ramps give thetruck unique functionality fora variety of jobs.

The interior is themedwith structural styling cuesand features the latestthinking in comfort, utilityand refinement. Innovative,thin, lightweight seating incomfortable leather allowsfor extra legroom for rearpassengers – along withintegrated storage forsmaller items. “Floating”instrument pods andglove-friendly buttons

began in April 2012 with theintroduction of the Ram 1500with class-leading 25 mpg fuelefficiency and innovativefeatures such as Active Levelfour-corner air suspension.

The Ram Brand followed thatnews with the launch of the Ram2500 and 3500 Heavy Dutypickups. Their 30,000-poundtrailer-tow rating – more thanthree tons more than theirclosest competitor — and 850lb.-ft. of torque are at the top oftheir class. Most recently, Ramintroduced the new 2014 RamProMaster van with its own list of best-in-class features,including fuel efficiency,payload, cargo capacity andlowest cost of ownership.

About Ram Truck Brand

The Ram Truck brandcontinues to establish its ownidentity and clearly define itscustomer since its launch as astandalone vehicle brand.Creating a distinct brand forRam trucks has allowed thebrand to concentrate on howcore customers use their trucksand what new features they’d liketo see. Whether focusing on afamily that uses its half-ton truck day in and day out, a hard-working Ram Heavy Duty owneror a business that depends on its commercial vehicles everyday, Ram has the truck market covered.

The Ram Truck brand has themost innovative lineup of full-size trucks on the market. RamTruck has emerged as a full-sizetruck leader by investingsubstantially in new products,infusing them with great looks,refined interiors, durable engines and features that furtherenhance their capabilities. Truck customers, from half-tonto commercial, have ademanding range of needs andrequire their vehicles to providehigh levels of capability. Ramtrucks are designed to deliver atotal package.

The Ford Atlas Concept goes further to save fuelthrough a combination of active aerodynamicelements that reduce wind resistance including:

Active Grille Shutters: Automatic shutters behindthe grille stay open when extra engine cooling isneeded, such as during low-speed stop-and-godriving or while working in hot weather. The shuttersautomatically close to improve aerodynamics whencruising on the highway at steady speedsActive Wheel Shutters: Automatic shutters in thewheels are hidden to improve style at rest and lowspeeds, but automatically close at highway speeds toimprove aerodynamics. Self-charging batteries useenergy from the wheels’ motion to power the shutters

Drop-Down Front Air Dam: A drop-down frontwind spoiler lowers at highway speeds to improveunderbody airflow. The air dam is raised at lowspeeds to improve ground clearance – helpful for off-roading

Power Running Boards: Auto-deploying runningboards help passengers enter the truck at rest andtuck up against the truck when it is moving toimprove aerodynamics and ground clearance The combination of these fuel-saving featuressaves more than 2 mpg on the highway withoutdiminishing towing or hauling capability.

2013 Heavy Duty Don’t think SuperLooper would

leave out the big boys in the class

of trucks this year! Here is a quick

look at what the heavy haulers are

packing into their line up of trucks!

Ram’s2013HeavyDuty Features Best-in-classCapability, New Technologyand New Features


Ford recently dropped the somewhat underpowered 5.4-liter V8 from the Super Duty line, with the new base

engine being a 6.2-liter SOHC gas engine. This standardengine brings 385 horsepower and 405 lb-ft of torque to theF-250 - an improvement of 85 horsepower and 40 lb-ft oftorque.

The optional engine is a “Scorpion” 6.7-literturbocharged diesel V8. This range-topping engine produces

400 horsepower and 800 lb-ft of earth-moving torque- an improvement of 50 horsepower and 150 lb-ft oftorque compared to the diesel engine it replaces.

Both engines shift through a six-speed automatictransmission. For the diesel model, Ford offers aunique line drive Power Take Off (PTO) feature. PTOallows for an output gear that is linked through thetorque converter to the engine crankshaft. this willallow the transmission to power substantial auxiliaryequipment such as snowplows, aerial lifts, tow trucklifts, cement mixers and dump truck beds.

The F-350 has a payload capacity of 4930 lbs.When properly equipped, conventional towingcapacity checks in at 14,000 lbs, while adding a fifthwheel increases that figure to 16,700 lbs.

Switching to the F-350 dual-rear wheel setup willboost those figures across the board. Max payloadjumps to 6,520 lbs, while standard and Fifth-wheeltowing jumps to 18,500 and 22,300 lbs, respectively.

The dynamic duo of the Duramax® 6.6L V8 Turbo-Dieseland Allison Transmission® has impressive torque,

horsepower and towing numbers. With a 36-gallon tank, theDuramax offers up to approximately 680 highway miles.

The heavy-duty Allison® 6-speed transmission harnessesthe power of the available Duramax. To make sure it canhandle the immense amounts of torque, we’ve givenit a strong torque converter, a larger diameter outputshaft and more robust clutches.

3500HD Brings Maximum Towing andPayload from Silverado

The Regular Cab Silverado 3500HD with a dieselengine can tow up to 23,100 lbs. with a fifth-wheelhitch, while the Extended and Crew Cabs with dieselengines can tow up to 18,000 lbs. with aconventional hitch. Our Regular Cab equipped witha gas engine has a maximum payload capacity of7,222 lbs.

Useful for when you’re hauling heavy loads,Trailer Sway Control (Single Rear Wheel Models)senses when a trailer starts to sway andautomatically applies the truck’s brakes whilereducing engine power. This feature works to let youget your truck back on track if necessary. If you’restopped on inclines greater than 5%, Hill Start Assist (SRWmodels) automatically kicks in to keep the truck in place forabout a second to give you just enough time to acceleratebefore the truck can roll backward.

GMThe True MeaningOf Heavy-Duty

Ford2013Super Duty

Auto grade braking, which uses transmission downshiftsto allow engine compression braking to slow the vehicle andits load, works in and out of Tow/Haul mode on the Vortec®

6.0L engine.

lthough I think email is the greatest invention since the

Barcalounger or Lazy Boy, I just can’tdevelop a fondness for texting. I ambaffled by all these symbols andshortcuts the thumb-typers use to savevaluable time they wouldn’t be wastingif they just stopped sending all theirworthless text messages.One of the reasons I don’t own a cell

phone is I don’t want to learn all thecutesy letter combinations that peopleuse in their texts. If I wanted to learn anall new language I’d learn somethinguseful, like Spanish. It’s bad enough thatthese texting shortcuts have overflowedinto letters and emails that people write.I’ll give you an example. For years nowI’ve read the letters LOL in emails andfor some reason I thought it stood for“lots of luck.” But one day I asked my

brilliant editor-friend Ann just what LOLmeans and, much to my surprise, shesaid it stands for “laugh out loud.”Which, I must admit, made a lot of theemails I’ve received make a lot moresense than if it was “lots of luck.”Ann said that if I had questions in the

future about texting abbreviations that Ishould go to a website called UrbanDictionary. I did as she suggested andfound shortcuts and keyboard strokesthat are supposed to look like animals;no doubt created by people with activeimaginations and waaaaay too muchextra time on their hands. The problem Ihad with the Urban Dictionary is that itis just that: urban. So, even though Idon’t text, I decided to perform a servicefor the little-served cowboy communityby creating texting shortcuts just forthem. So from now on, if you see the

letters LOL in a cowboy’s email it doesn’t stand for “laugh out loud,” itstands for “lost our lease.” Here aresome more cowboy texting shortcuts I came up with:NSBS- New saddle. Butt sore.UU- Kicked by mule. Funeral Friday (FF).

STARVIN- The wife has been sick for two days now. Can anyone out there in the cloud, or global village, tell me how to turn on an oven?

BITNV- My buddy just got a brand new Mark Dahl bit and I am envious.

EEEOOOOW!- Some snake put a baby rattler in my boots.

RWI- Riding While Intoxicated.#$@%&*!- My new horse just bucked me off again and I think I may have a concussion. Come and get me. I’m in the big rock pile.

DandG’s- Dudes and Gunsels.GGNCBKI- Gotta go now. Cookie’s beans are kicking in.

VETCOT- Does anyone have any Vaseline or KY-Jelly? Our vet was preg checking and his arm is now stuck tight in the reproductive tract of a 550 pound heifer.

IQUIT- My new boss expected me todrive a John Deere and pull weeds in his wife’s garden. So I did what any respectable cowboy would do.

CHIPS- This can either mean you’re horse bucked you off into a fresh cowpie or your wife just got another job in town. Her third. As in, “We’re in the chips now.”

PU- I’m on a trail ride and none of us have had a bath or shower in a week.

NOKIDS- My knuckle-head horse kicked me you-know-where and gave me a cowboy vasectomy.

BYOH- Branding Saturday. Bring your own horse.

JACKPOT- I just hit the USTRC jackpot in Oklahoma City and quit my job.I’m gonna rope until the money’s all gone.

CANTCOPE- I’m out of tobacco and desperately need a chew.

TRIGTHWITTWMIWBSIIHTBA45¢S-The ranch is going to heck while I text these worthless messages I wouldn’t be sending if I had to buy a 45 cent stamp.

4-wheeler, which weighed at least 600 lbs. less than the heifer, lifted offits front wheels and camedangerously close to tipping overbackwards. Next try, he locked hislegs around the handlebars, leanedout over them like a figurehead on aschooner to distribute the load, andgave it the gas! He felt all four wheelsgrab and the cow move just beforethe rope broke! Rob fell forward,head first as the spinning machineclimbed over him, rolled him up andlaid him out flat on his back!

Third time is the charm. Robfound a heavier piece of rope, re-hitched and…voila! He drug theheifer to flatter ground. Hedismounted to untie the slipknotfrom the machine, unfortunately not

noticing that the brockle-faced heiferhad regained her feet and wascoming his way.

She hit him from behind,bounced him off the 4-wheeler andwalked him like a foot-log! Then sheturned to escape the scene of thecrime and pulled the machine overon top of our hapless hero,eventually dragging the whole wreck to a stop.

In retrospect, Rob said sheturned out to be a pretty goodmother but he was never able todrive his 4-wheeler into any pasture she inhabited without being attacked.

can always count on my friends to add a new page to my

scrapbook entitled “How to Mess upa Simple Calving.” This chapterwould be entitled “Halter Safety.”

Rob was deep into calving hisheifers. His calving lot was footballfield size including a small shed anda couple jugs. It was decorated withswells and depressions common to the coulee ranchland in eastern Washington.

For his regular heifer checks heused a typical “rancher’s” 4-wheelerthat he’d bought from an orchardman who had traded up in a goodyear. Ron paid him $50 plus twograndstand tickets to theMariner/Cleveland Indians baseballgame. It was dipping into twilightwhen Rob made his “just beforesupper” heifer check. He waslooking for #112, a brockle-facedheifer that he’d noticed going intolabor earlier. He found her in a largedepression on her back and gasping!

Grabbing a halter from hiscalving box he put it over her headand gave it a manly pull…no luck.Thinking quickly, in his firstresponder mode, he pulled the 4-wheeler in front of the upsidedown heifer and tied the halter shank to the back of his machine. So far, so good.

The rope came tight, but the

$2.99 Theoremne of the first lessons I learned

as I began my personal journey intoteam roping is that everything has a price.Although this is true of almost every facet inour lives the fact that team roping issomewhat of a costly proposition is anunderstatement to say the least. I stillremember back to the year when I won myvery first roping. I could hardly wait to callmy Dad and let him know that all the timeand money he and Mom spent trying tokeep me educated and gainfully employedhad been in vain because now I had a newplan for wealth and easy living. Since theywere coming down the next weekend, Iopted to wait until their arrival and surprisethem with the good news.

I planned it to perfection. I would justcasually walk into the living room sportingmy new championship buckle, throw thespoils of my labor on the kitchen table andannounce to all that would hear that supperwas going to be on me. My only regret wasnot being able to somehow save the momenton film so that generations to follow couldshare the monumental moment as well. Inretrospect I think I am not the only one whowished the moment could have been savedfor prosperity’s sake and for some publichumiliation as well.

Anyhow, you could say that the girls and Iexecuted the plan to perfection. I strode intothe living room strutting to the chorus of,“Daddy what’s that great big belt buckle youare wearing say?” I casually looked downand, just as rehearsed, I uttered theinfamous words that will forever go down inDuncan folklore, “Daddy’s got a new job andit looks like rain!” I still don’t know where the“make it rain” part came from, but if I couldhave one moment back, that would probablybe it. The last dollar bill had not even hit the

I am happy to report that he made theright decision. The new trailer has come inquite handy for his wife. We have it in theRV park behind the hospital so she doesnot have to get a hotel room and it is veryconvenient for visiting hours when shegoes to see old Clifford in his hospitalroom. Apparently some horses are not verysupportive when the hobble strap breaksand the flank cinch actually winds up intheir flank area. It is said that he did, in fact,ride him for the first four jumps butsomewhere during the fifth jump old “KittyLitter” was able to dislodge him and breakhis hip in the process. Nuff said… Most of

floor before my Dad spoke. And I paraphrase… “Son, your Mother

and I are really very proud of you and thisnew direction you are taking in your life. Wehad always hoped you would find successin what you do and that your successeswould be blessed with health, happinessand wealth far beyond your wildest dreams.We are sorry for convoluting your life byforcing you to go to college and get aneducation and ultimately an occupationsince it is now abundantly apparent thatyou were destined to make your living witha rope. We also know, son, that everythinghas a price and we find comfort in knowingthat our son will no longer have to worryabout the cost of such things because hehas now found financial security via the paywindow.” As I said, that was theparaphrased version and, although most ofthe time paraphrased means thecondensed version, in this particularinstance it means just the opposite. Actuallyslick very simply said… “How much do youthink that buckle cost you Son?”

Enough about me, let’s get back to thecrux of this month’s installment of “TheSports Medicine Stable” and the importantmessage of $2.99 Theorem. As we all knowby now this sport is somewhat financiallydemanding and sometimes the demandscan be overwhelming. I can rememberwhen a hundred dollar bill would buy youenough ropes to last an entire summer.Now you have to get an ag-exemption justto buy a couple. Add the price of feed, fueland fun and a weekend of roping can addup pretty quick. Complicate the equationwith the uncertainties of a risingunemployment rate and your declining401K and even the most discerning ropersoon becomes a disconcerting roper whenit comes to spending money in anyamount.

Thus the $2.99 Theorem and theimportant role it plays in our lives. When itcomes to being financially frugal it is mucheasier to cut the small items than it is toeliminate the bigger ticket items. It makesyou feel like you are doing something, butyou are really just fighting a raging grass firewith a thermos. You see it produces lots andlots and lots of activity, but very few actualresults at the end of the day. Take forinstance my buddy Clifford and his latestattempt at financial frugality. It was time tomake some cuts and he was left with sometough choices. A brand new thirty-six foottrailer, four-horse with living quarters, twoslides and a 52" big screen or he couldreplace that old weathered and dilapidatedhobble strap he has needed to replace forthe past few years.

the time it is the smallest of things thatmake the biggest difference. I found themat NRSworld.com, latigo cinchstrap…$2.99.

Anyway back to the beginning of thislittle installment… Roping horse… $7,500.Saddle and accessories for new ropinghorse… $3,176. Feed, stalls, shoeing, vetbills etc. . . .$2,345. Brand new trailer…$13,500. New loaded Dura-Max 3/4 ton topull such trailer… $54,700. Winning thatfirst buckle… Priceless!!!

Until next month. Good Luck… Good health… Good Roping… Good

heifer it set a whole precedent forimaginary friends.

When we sold Lizzie it was aboutall we could handle getting June topart with her. The only way weconsoled her was to assure her thatLizzie wanted a family and a baby allher own and the only way she coulddo that was to be sold to a nearbyrancher who raised Corriente cattle.

Meanwhile, every time we get anew set of steers we go through theage-old process of roping them for afew days and seeing how they will benamed and labeled.

One time we had a steer that Bosscalled Luther. For the life of me Icould never understand how he cameup with Luther.

“Who is Luther?” I asked. Bosswould just turn around and walk off.Boss rarely missed Luther and ropedat him with vengeance. He neverwanted Luther to get the best of him.In fact, his intensity at roping Luthershould have carried over to theroping. If he had roped every steerwith the diligence and focus he put on Luther he would have placed every time.

Finally, one afternoon Luther wasin the chute. Boss was preparing likeit was his last run at the NationalFinals of Team Roping. Donald, hispartner hollered, “Come on, Boss!This is ole Luther. Let’s make this ourmillion dollar run!”

I turned to Boss and asked againabout Luther. In frustration he turnedto me and said, “Luther was a coach Ihad in Middle School years ago. He

couldn’t help but laugh. The conversation went something like

this, “Buzzy, bring ole Loop up first,then push Kroc Eye up behind him.”

Buzzy hollered back, “Dad, whatabout Dean and Lizard Lip?”

“No, Dad,” June Bug screamed.“Don’t rope Lizard Lip. I want to chasehim when ya’ll get through.”

“Leave Lizard Lip, Buzzy,” Bosscountered, “and bring Crooked Hornand Dodger. That will leave Brindleand Crazy Eye for our short round.Watch out for Hindsight and makesure he doesn’t run over you.”

What’s in a name? All of ourroping steers have names. They alsohave their own little quirks andpersonalities. We’ve had a lot of steersover the years. I remember one yearwe had a roping heifer named Lizzieand she broke her horn fighting thechute. Naturally blood wenteverywhere when it broke. It wasdevastating to June Bug at the time.Lizzie was gentle but just hated beingroped and hated being in the chute.Regardless, June Bug decided to nurseher and take care of her. Short ofleading her with a halter the heiferwas very docile and easy to get alongwith as long as you didn’t put her inthe chute.

At the time June Bug would go toschool (first grade maybe) and tell allher friends about her new friendLizzie and all the things they didtogether. The teacher began to worrybecause Lizzy was very prevalent inJune’s life at the time. When theteacher found out she was a roping

wanted me to play football andbasketball and when I told him Iwanted to rope he told me I wouldnever make it as a roper and that Ihad a greater future in other sports.It just made me mad so I’m showingole Luther I can **&&^& sure rope!”And Boss walked off in a huff and goton his horse. Needless to say, Bossand Donald were about five flat ontheir run on ole Luther and that wasin the practice pen. I just hope thatintensity carries over to the actualroping next weekend.

Now, I’m seriously thinking ofstarting to haul Luther. I’m seriouslythinking Boss should draw Luther inthe short go round at every roping wego to. Boss ropes him with anintensity I don’t see unless ole Lutheris in the chute. He doesn’t getaggressive when Dobbin or Scaly Tailor Rupert or DinoMite is in the chute.He doesn’t care if old Shady Eye orDooger is in the chute. It is oldLuther that turns his crank. I’mthinking we should keep old Luthertill he dies of old age.

I just can’t help but wonder whatever happened to the human versionof old Luther. If he only knew how hemotivated Boss he would beimpressed. He should market it andmake money.

Good grief! What’s in a name? It’sthe history of the name that counts.I’m thinking some team ropers have astrange history! Ahhhhh!

hand, could be tough to love on certaindays. He worked hard, expected thesame out of you, and when you didn’t dowhat he thought you should, it wasn’tgood. He wasn’t a violent guy, but whenhe wasn’t happy, no one was happy. Mymother took the most heat when weguessed wrong on what he wanted, butone day he got what he deserved.

I have a brother who is ten yearsolder than I am. When he was around17, he bought a BSA motorcycle and myparents hated it. They didn’t want him tobuy it, but he had worked and bought itwith the money he earned. They stilldidn’t like it. My brother got a job inWieser, Idaho that was supposed to lastfor just a month. When he got up therehe decided to stay longer so he calledhome and told my dad if he could getthe motorcycle started, he could sell it.That’s all my parents needed to hear.

My brother had been gone for awhile, and the motorcycle was hard tostart anyway, so my dad went out to thegarage and started working on it. Hewasn’t a very big guy, and themotorcycle was huge. So when he triedto kick start it, it would barely turn over.Exhausted, my dad came in the houseand got my mother. He tied a rope to thehandle bars and told my mother to getin the car so she could tow him.

My dad tied the rope to the bumperof our ‘56 Chevy and told her to take off.I was seven, so my mom and I loaded upand away we went. My mother hadnever pulled anyone on a motorcyclebefore, let alone my dad, and she had noidea that she was only supposed to go

O one mile per hour to try to start it.Instead, she pulled out on Endow Roadand headed north. I was standing up inthe seat looking back at my dad ridingthe motorcycle. My mother shifted intosecond gear and was picking up speed.When she got to Mathews Road, sheturned left and shifted into high. My dadwas hanging on for dear life, and everyonce in while he would let go of thehandlebars with one of his hands andwave frantically. When my mom got toWolfe Road, she had reached top speedand away we went.

After about three miles, my momdecided to pull over and check on him.We coasted to a stop and my father putthe kickstand down and started walkingtowards the car. When my dad was mad,he would lean slightly forward and bowhis arms out. On that day, they werebowed way out. My mother saw himcoming and rolled the window up andlocked the door. My dad tried to openthe door, but it couldn’t. My dad said,“Open the door Audrey,” my mothersaid, “No!” Again, he said, “Open thedoor,” and again my mother refused.Then in her most puzzled voice, sheasked, “Why?” My dad said, “BecauseI’m going to drive the car and you’regoing to ride the motorcycle.”

Make sure everyone understands theplan or you might go on the ride of yourlife, and it might not be a pleasantexperience.

Until next month,Thanks for your time

n any team, communication iskey. Whether it’s with your teamroping partner, your family, or a

company, it is critical that everyone isclear on the plan. If everyone is on thesame page and everyone is pulling in thesame direction, anything is possible. Ifnot, you never know.

How many times have you hadsomeone say to you, “I’m sorry, Ithought this or that is what youwanted.” Most of the time we blame iton the other guy, but it really comesdown to you. It’s your fault that youdidn’t make what you wanted clearenough, because I’m convinced that allof us want to make the other personhappy. I have had to learn that because Iwas raised by a guy who didn’t talk a lot,and I’m still not great at it.

As a kid, we ate pancakes everymorning—for as long as I can rememberwe ate pancakes for breakfast. Onemorning, my dad looked at my motherand said, “Audrey, every morning wehave pancakes, why is that?” My motherin her kindest voice said, “Sheldon, yousaid you liked pancakes.” My dad lookedup over his breakfast and said, “That wasseven years ago.” So as you can see, mydad’s communication skills could haveused a little work. People can’t read yourmind, even when you think they can. It’stough to do. When you don’t make itclear to others, you get what youdeserve.

I have talked about my mother in thisarticle before. Without a doubt, she wasthe kindest and most giving person Ihave ever known. My dad, on the other

A Navicular NightmareShortly after purchasing my gelding I had him checked by several vets. We took x-rays and that toldthe story – my gelding’s worst nightmare, navicular! He had multiple holes in both front feet. I triedall the conventional treatments but there was no improvement. I was told to consider surgery on

both front legs because, in his condition, he would soon have to be destroyed.

Miracles Can HappenFeeling desperate, I took a chance on something a friend had told me about. I called TLC Animal

Nutrition and started him on several products that are specifically designed for horses with navicular.Two weeks after I started the program he was sound. Six months later I had more x-rays taken andthe vet said it was a "miracle" and I have to agree. The holes on the navicular bone were filling in.

"Angel" has taken me to the state finals each year, very impressive for a horse that may have otherwise been destroyed.

Another Second ChanceI had such great results with the first horse, I purchased another problem horse that I saved from

certain death. This horse is fourteen years old and has been lame for more than half his life. Again x-rays confirmed five holes in the right front foot, navicular. But this wasn’t his only problem. This

horse also had arthritis so badly he could barely shuffle off at a fast walk. He literally smelled rotten, had a very bad hair coat and was loaded with large and small strongyles. The former ownersold him to me for one dollar and was sure he would never walk a sound step. Again I contacted TLC

Animal Nutrition for a recommendation. We changed his feed and added TLC’s Performance Plus,DBG Min and Niacin along with Glucosamine and Ultimate DE.

Don’t Give UpToday I have two healthy horses and would like to share with everyone that if it hadn’t been for TLCAnimal Nutrition products, their knowledge, and my persistence and faith in God, these horses would

not be here today. I know there are many nutritional companies out there, but I just can’t pullmyself away from the correct and honest information I get each time from TLC Animal Nutrition.

Introducing Martin Saddlery’s full line of Team Roping saddles. We offer each and every roper a

choice. What do team ropers expect from a saddle? The confidence to be competitive. You are

an individual, and your Winning Position is something only you can feel. Whether you like the

new XT because it puts you exactly where you need to be to rope fast, or you choose the RG for

its comfortable ground seat, you just know when a saddle feels right. Ropers are all different, so

choose the saddle that gives you the confidence to be competitive. Decide your Winning Position.

Search �e Classic Real Deal

The XT allows you to maintain balance and control in the saddle. Its design positions the

stirrups slightly forward to prevent the rider’s feet from falling behind their center of balance.

The narrow feeling ground seat keeps the rider centered, stable, and confident for fast runs.

Comfortable enough to ride all day

Classic look and design

7” contoured flank cinch

Back D cutout in skirt relieves billet pressure

Double reinforced billets, extra strong with extra body

Billets feature holes from top to bottom for closer, more precise adjustments

Domed horn cap provides a custom, finished look and prevents racking your hand on the dally

Available in standard, small horn, or large horn options
