Were Back

[Northern Rancher]

Just got home at 5'00 A'M after pulling an all niter from Wood Mountain-Ty's first finals were pretty good-spent four days with some great people and he is qualified to go to Illinois for National Finals-too bad Dad's wallet isn't lol. They had pretty salty broncs for the kids-he never got on a horse that scored under 20-just a bit more horse than he can handle right now. There were some highlights there though-a kid made an 8.5 calf run in the mud that was pretty to watch-a jr. steer rider won a round on a droppy son of a gun that had smashed his buddy the day before. The Grade twelve kids all got up and told everybody their future plans-there's alot of talented kids out there so m uch for the 'dumb' cowboy stereotype. Next Highschool rodeo is Canadian Finals in Medicine Hat in August I can't wait-hopefuylly we can get 40-50 broncs under Ty between now and then. There were two old pro bronc riders helping kids out so he got lots of good advice.

'Kickin' High' the old contractor told Ty to throat latch this old bronc lol.

The boys-the boy holding the trophy saddle rode all weekend with torn ligaments in his knee-he gutted it out and got rewarded.

Nice pictures. The quality looks really nice too.

Looks like a couple of those young fellers' could stand to go down to the local barber.

River Bottom ain't looking like he's going to need that fella to chap him.... :lol: :lol:

Boy's have done well. Also shows what a good job you have done as a father. Keep up the good work!

Congrats!!! Great accomplishment. Got a bunch from NM headed to Illinois --five from this county alone. One girl going in 4 events. (she was the HS national barrel racing champion last year --her brother, Taos Muncy, is currently sitting in #2 spot in the PRCA Saddle bronc standings)

And it's not so close from here either --with the price of gas its like buying a house to get there.

Riverbottom ran off on Ty a couple weeks back so we chapped him-he hits pretty hard lol. Ty is 141 in that group picture.

I see he gets his stature from his dad.

He's sure built to be a bronk rider.

Thanks for posting the pix.

'Lonesome Me' -he just about got this pony covered he'd of won the average and maybe the saddle-but I guess that's shouda-couda-wouda lol.

Not in the mud quite yet.

When those four feet hit things got a bit loosened up.

There's some great kids heading down to New Mexico for the Wrangler Finals at Gallup, New Mexico-how close to Gallup are you?

 

[Mrs.Greg]

Great pics,way to go Ty

I'm quite a ways south and east of Gallup (quite a ways as in 4-5 hours) --
Gallup is one of those places you go to for a reason --it's not on the way to anywhere except Arizona

Absolutely beautiful place to rodeo tho...Red Rock Park is breathtaking, eerie and quite an experience all the same time. It'll be hotter than a pistol though in July.
