Appearance on The Roping Show

Tyler Magnus and his sister Leah heard about the campaign and invited me to appear on The Roping Show.  I drove 8 hours to Casa Grande Arizona, which is home to the W&W Roping Camp and Arena.  Alan and Robin Ward make the W&W a great place to rope, a good sized arena, trailer hook-ups, plenty of stalls and good cattle make this an outstanding facility.  Tyler ran the roping clinic while Leah filmed every run made.  I really liked Tyler’s approach to teaching and I believe that my roping will improve as a result of participating in the clinic.  The show will air in 4 to 6 weeks and I’ll post the date when I get confirmation.  Thank you Tyler and Leah, you really helped kick off this campaign.

$2,800.00 won at USTRC City of Industry Roping!

My horses and I competed for four days at the United States Team Roping Chapionships (USTRC) in the City of Industry California over the past weekend.  When the dust had settled it turned out that I had won six checks totaling $2,800.00.  This is my best ever start to a USTRC season and I’m hoping it will set the pace for the rest of the year.  I was able to spend some time fundrasing and many people at the roping said they would be sending in donations to the campaign.  Almost everyone I spoke with had a story to tell about a loved one who has or is suffering from cancer.  These conversations are a constant reminder of how important it is to fund cancer research and the eventual cure that is so badly needed.

I want to thank the many partners that roped with me this weekend and I hope that all of you will consider contributing part of the money we won together to the campaign.

  

United States Team Roping Championship Roping 2/7, 2/10

My first USTRC Roping of the year is this upcoming weekend.  This four day event will draw over 1,000 teams to the City of Industry Equestrian Center.  This equestrian center was built for the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic games and its a first rate facility.  This will be the only USTRC Roping held in Southern California each year so it will be nice to start the year off by competing close to home.  I will post the results next week so check back here to see how I did.
