My brother stepped up with a big time donation and along with the other donations received during the first week of this campaign we have raised over $11,000!!!
A big THANK YOU to all of the people who made donations during the first week of this campaign to fund a very important children’s cancer research project.
Thanks for your support!
In an effort to tune me and my horses up for the big campaign, I am going to be taking a three day roping clinic with Walt Woodard. Walt is the 2007 champion roper for the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association and he is one of the best roping instructors around. The clinic is the week before the USTRC Roping in the City of Industry, CA and I’m hoping that Walt will be able to improve my ability to ride and rope.
My first USTRC (United Team Roping Championships) roping of the year takes place February 7th through 10th at the City of Industry. This is the arena that was built for the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games and is a really nice place to compete. This is the only USTRC Roping held in Southern California each year so its nice to start the season out with a local roping. I have some very experienced partners lined up for this event and hope to win some big $$$ for the campaign.
Nothing to get excited about but I was able to win $58.00 on Saturday at the roping in Norco, CA. My partner and I won the 2nd fastest time in the roping and each won $58. I had a chance to win some bigger money in the final round of the average but I got out of posistion on a steer and threw a poor loop while trying to reach. My poor judgement probably cost this campaign four to five hundred dollars. I’ll try to rope smarter next time.
