Cooma Rural Rodeo Saturday February 12 2011 Starting at 2pm
Try your hand in the Poley Buckjump event Continued from page 2... The concept behind a Divisional Barrel Race is that all competitors’ times are split into three divisions and the fastest times in each division are the winners. This provides the opportunity for more than one winner. Competitors will be given the opportunity to have exhibition runs before and after the event to familiarize their horses with the arena or to put some final touches on their horse’s technique. Exhibition runs will be $5 each, entry into the Divisional Barrel Race will be $25 and membership (for insurance purposes) will be $30 for adults and $5 for children. Entry for spectators will be free. There will be food available and all proceeds from the events on Sunday will also be donated to Vicki. For more information go to www.coomarodeo.org.au or contact Michelle O’Neill on 0413 609 880. There has been a drop in the amount of locals competing
in the Cooma Rodeo over the past few years with many of the competitors coming from away. It is hoped that more locals participate this year, as the only criteria are a sense of adventure and a desire for adrenaline.
Trek Poley Buckjump is a chance for local horsemen and women to try their hand at showing their style in front of their home crowd with $500 prize money on offer. Entries are limited for this event and will be taken on the day at the Secretary’s Office. Competitors will be judged for the style not only in the saddle, but their ability to crack a stock whip whilst in the air. The judge’s will be two local identities Dave Freebody and Buzz Aboud. Dave is known to many as a former local who competes successfully in saddle bronc events across Australia. He will be returning to Cooma Rodeo fresh from the National Finals in Tamworth Cochran Horse Treks Poley and will also be competing in Buckjump the Ray Freebody Memorial The newest event at the Cooma Saddle Bronc at Cooma, an Rural Rodeo, the Cochran Horse event named in honour of his
late father. Buzz Aboud has been a longtime supporter of rodeo in the region. He is renowned for helping many young competitors get their start in rough stock events by providing safe training facilities and a guiding hand. Buzz’s business Bredbo Sand and Gravel has provided the sand
for the Cooma Rodeo Arena for many years. For more information on the Cooma Rural Rodeo go to the website www.coomarodeo.org. au. Pictured, the poley buckjump at Taralga Rodeo. Photo by Jensol Photography.
