Just the Way It Is July 2013

by Ben Clements

T

hings are really heating up in Texas. I just love this time of year because I can sweat a lot easier than I can shiver. The summer is a really busy time for the team roping and rodeo industry as well. I like all the ropings and rodeos and enjoy seeing everyone My cell phone rang and it was my neighbor. He needed help. He was stuck and couldn’t get his truck out. I told him I’d be right there and so I proceeded to get a chain and headed out.

“I’m stuck,” the words echoed in my head. Yea, it seems I’ve been stuck for several days now and it had nothing to do with mud or ditches or trucks not moving. It had to do with writing this column. Sometimes the words flow really easy and sometimes it is like prying open a sealed vault. I am glad it doesn’t happen often, but when it does, it really sets me back and puts me behind.

As ropers we all tend to get stuck sometimes. I know in the practice pen I will rope with a specific purpose in mind and it seems nothing changes. I get stuck in the same old rut or mold and nothing changes or moves. It is crippling to my progress. Just like my writing I fall behind.

“I’m stuck and cannot seem to move in any direction or make any progress.”

That is something I have said or certainly felt and I can imagine that you have too in some similar form or fashion. What is the old saying something about taking two steps

forward and three steps back. Pretty soon one episode blends into another, one day tends to crowd into another and I’m not only scrambling, but I feel just a bit hopeless and distraught.

Sometimes, I tend to be my own worst enemy and although I’m always an advocate for change and improvement I sometimes get hung up and can’t move. In other words, point blank, bottom line, “I’m stuck!”

It is just like my daughter. She is very independent and likes to do things on her own, but when she gets bogged down or in a predicament that she cannot get out of she says, “Heeelllppp.

Daddy, I’m Stuck.” Depending on the situation I am always there to help her get out of it or to point her in the right direction to get herself out of whatever she is “stuck” in.

I think God does the same with us.

He is always there to lend a hand or show us the way to get out. Sometimes, just like TyAnn, we get frustrated and don’t want to listen or be shown how to get out by ourselves. We balk and that only makes things worse.

I sometimes think I get put in that position so I will stop, think, look around and view the world from another angle. I get caught up in doing my own thing and forget there are other people out there struggling and in need. In the whole scheme of things, most of the time, my problems are minuscule compared to others.

In the roping arena I get caught up in old habits that don’t really work and need to change my thought process, my timing, my throw, my frame of mind or it is not going to work. We get stuck when we refuse to consider new ideas, new angles and new philosophies. We must always be open to opportunities that are presented and be ready to take advantage when we can.

I for one don’t like change.

Sometimes to the point I don’t want to make the change even if what I’m doing isn’t working. Yep, I’m stuck. I wonder why things come to a grinding halt and I’m not going anywhere. It usually involves getting up out of my rut and moving in a different direction. So, I guess that is what I have done with this article. I took a problem and a situation where I was “stuck” and put it into a positive and have moved on. I challenge you to take whatever situation you are in and pick yourself up and get yourself out of the mess. Go get unstuck.

I guess the learning curves comes from understanding we never get too old, too smart, or too good to learn something new. Getting unstuck involves making some changes, going in a new direction and looking at new perspectives. Whatever the case, pick yourself up, open your eyes to the world of opportunities around you and get going. There is a lot out there and it is just waiting for you, and that is just the way it is....

Distance Traveled by USTRC Ropers to Sanctioned Events

L

ast month, in this column, we looked at the distances traveled by ropers to ropings from the roper’s side.

Using the figures from each state, we tallied up the number of ropers and the number of ropings they attended, looking at the average distance they traveled to events. This month we flip the perspective from the roper to the roping’s side. You are going to see how far ropers traveled to each of the USTRC’s sanctioned events in 2012. Once again, you will get a feel for how much time and travel distance ropers put in to pursuing their favorite sport and you will also see which ropings attract ropers from the farthest distances.

Accompanying this fascinating article are one table and three maps. I will start with my typical, long, lengthy and tedious explanation of the table, “Average Distance Traveled by Ropers Attending USTRC 2012 Season Sanctioned Events”. I know it looks pretty straight forward but I have to justify the value of my table, map and chart-making abilities by going into the long and laborious explanation of the nuances of this gripping and compelling table.

First of all, let’s define distance. It is the amount of space between two things. In this case, the first thing is the zip code of the arena of the sanctioned 2012 roping. The second thing is the zip code given by each roper as it is recorded from their membership application submitted to the USTRC upon joining and updated from time to time. Since a zip code can cover a rather large area of real estate, in order to pin point a spot on the map, I used what are called “zip code centroids” as the actual designated dot for geographical reference purposes. I defined zip code centroids last month but for those of you with short memories or for some unfathomable reason did not read last month’s column, here it is again: A ZIP Code’s centroid is a point near the center of the areas of a polygon for a 5-Digit ZIP Code. The centroid is calculated as the internal balance point, based on the coordinate extremes of the polygon. In cases where the polygon is irregular, the centroid may be adjusted so that ZIP Code labels never fall outside of the polygon.

The distance between these zip code centroids in the table are “as the crow flies” and not “as the Ram Truck drives”, that is as a straight line drawn on a map as opposed to a 12 / JULY 2013

crooked line drawn by a civil engineer road designer. As a consequence, the distances shown are going to be shorter than they are in the reality of driving to an event but they work fine here for comparative purposes.

The table includes the following factual information: each 2012 USTRC Sanctioned Event, its type (sanctioned, Regional or National Finals), its location, the number of ropers competing in the event (for which we had valid home zip codes), and the aggregate average distance between those home zip codes and the event encompassing all of the ropers that competed in the event. The ropings are sorted from longest to shortest in aggregate average distances traveled and ranked in that order.

The three maps show the zip code locations for all the ropers that attended three different sanctioned events I picked for illustration. The first is the North Arkansas Championships in Berryville, Arkansas. It was the event that ropers traveled the shortest aggregate average distance to (79.1 miles). The second event, the Colorado Winter Championships in Denver, was in the middle of the pack (41st ranking) at 152.6 miles and was similar in size to the Berryville roping with 332 ropers whereas Berryville’s was 359.

The third roping was the West Coast Regionals in Paso Robles, California (map page 14.) The average distance traveled by ropers competing in this event was 248.6 miles, ranking it near the top at 10th on the list. It was also similar in size to the other two with 334 ropers. As you can see, the West Coast Regionals had ropers coming from as far away as Mississippi, Tennessee, Texas and Hawaii. Those ropers, particularly the ones from Hawaii, helped to increase that average distance. The circle around Paso Robles is the radius of the average distance traveled by ropers competing or 248.6 miles. The circles for the other two maps show their average distance radii as well. Remember when looking at these maps, each dot can represent more than one roper as often many ropers will come from the same zip code.

The top three ropings to which ropers traveled the farthest were all, not surprisingly, the three Hawaii ropings. Hawaii ropings always attract a fair contingent of main land ropers and it is those ropers that drive the Aloha state ropings to the top of the rankings.

The Maui Classic average was right at 1,400 miles, which is head and Hawaiian lei clad shoulders above any main land ropings. The longest average distance traveled for a main land roping was the Cinch National Finals at 341.1 miles. It was followed closely by the Guthrie Shoot-Out Championships at 315.1.

Zip Code Locations of Ropers Attending West Coast Regionals, Paso Robles, CA, June 2012 14 / JULY 2013

Then, there is a fairly significant drop to the next ranked roping, the Northwest Regionals at number six at 271.9 miles, a difference of over 43 miles. The difference between any of the rest of the ranked ropings are all less than 15 miles apart.

Rounding out the Top Ten in the rankings, in order, were Lasso Del Sol in Scottsdale, Florida Championships in Sarasota, Laughlin Team Roping Finals near Laughlin, NV and the aforementioned West Coast Regional in Paso Robles. Lasso Del Sol was naturally loaded with Arizona “snow birds” who probably did not travel far to get to the roping itself but did travel far to rope in Arizona during the winter. The Florida Championships moved from Green Cove Springs in 2011 to Sarasota in 2012.

Sarasota, south of Tampa, is a good 230 miles from Green Cove Springs, which is up near Jacksonville, which may account for the farther distances southern ropers had to travel to attend. Winnemucca, home of the Northwest Regionals, while a great place to rope, is not in the center of civilization, which probably accounts for its high ranking status. And checking the list of attendees, I could find only one Hawaiian roper, so Hawaiians did not effect Winnemucca’s aggregate average distance.

Winnemucca, like Laughlin, is also not at the center of civilization.

That is why, at the end of the list, you find ropings that are closer to population centers. Berryville, our roping with the shortest average distance traveled, is joined at the end of the rankings by another Arkansas town in Fort Smith, then Tulsa, Stephenville and Albuquerque, in that reverse order. I am fairly sure that Berryville, Fort Smith, Tulsa and Stephenville are near strong concentrations of ropers, and, of course, you may remember, Albuquerque was the original home of the USTRC and there are still a few ropers around there.

To help sum up, I ask you to look again at the bottom of the table. There you will see that an average of 458 ropers competed in each of the USTRC 78 2012 sanctioned ropings and that each of those ropers traveled, by crow, an average of 190.9 miles to get to each of those events. If we round that up to 200 miles, easily still under what the actual road mileage would have been, double that to 400 for getting to the roping and back, and multiply by 458, you get 91,600 miles. And 91,600 miles is just short of four times the circumference of the earth at the equator. Dang, we love this sport!!

Hello Ropers!

J

uly is such a great month for America’s Cowboy Sport. We are in the midst of “Cowboy Christmas” with lots of competitors making their final push for the NFR and lots of ropers making their final push for the Cinch National Finals of Team Roping. July is also the month we celebrate the National Day of the Cowboy.

Although some of us may not think of ourselves as cowboys or cowgirls we do celebrate cowboy culture every time we saddle our horses. Our members are so diversified, we come from all walks of life to participate in this great sport and we help keep the cowboy culture thriving. This month is a great time to reflect on an old tradition, a way of life and a foundation on which we were raised, the National Day of the Cowboy and Cowgirl Code of Conduct: Live each day with honesty and courage.

Take pride in your work. Always do your best.

Stay curious. Study hard and learn all you can.

Do what has to be done and finish what you start.

#13 Shoot-Out 2012 USTRC National Champions

U

nlike most sports team ropers don’t exactly visit much. They may have a game plan and they may practice a lot but when it comes down to the wire and they rope for the win there is very little to be said.

They are either on the same page or they are not and talking it over will do little to change that. Talking about it won’t change anything and the important thing to do is just “go rope!”

Andy Mahard and his partner, Colt Baldwin, don’t talk to each other much or discuss how they want things to turn out. They seem to just focus on roping. They want to use every steer to the max. Talking or not they tend to be consumed with the same mindset headed in the same direction and working for the common goal.

Both agreed they wanted to rope like they had roped all day. They were the third high team back coming into the short go round of the #13 Shoot-Out at the 2012 Cinch USTRC National Finals of Team Roping. They were looking at $93,200 for first place in the Average. The prize line was unbelievable. It included Martin Championship Trophy saddles, Gist Championship Gold Trophy buckles, Tony Lama Ostrich boots and Western Horseman Collector’s Prints.

Talking or not both ropers had one common goal. It had been a shared goal the entire day. They wanted to get 22 / JULY 2013

Andy Mahard and Colt Baldwin all their steers down, have a consistent run and get a time.

The short go round of the #13 Shoot-Out was fast paced, fast moving, and very, very competitive.

“I didn’t think there was any way we could win this roping,” Baldwin said. “Roping together for about three years and all our hard work has really paid off. I was content with third place.”

“Team roping is our job after the job,” Mahard explained.

“We go put in eight or ten hours making a living and then we come home, saddle horses and put in the same amount of hours roping. It takes time and effort.”

As the pair watched the short go round unfold Mahard and Baldwin figured third high call back team was a pretty solid place to be. The pair needed a time of 8.08 or better to take the lead in the Average. When it came time for them to rope they were ready. Even though Mahard struggles a bit with the barrier he read it right and got a great start. When he turned off Baldwin was there and ready to wrap things up. The pair rode out of the arena with a time of 7.35 to take the lead in the Average. There were two teams left to rope.

22-23 Champions Profile_Layout 1 5/31/13 8:56 AM Page 23

Both ropers were happy with how things had turned out.

“As the third high call back team we made a good run and were sitting solid for third place,” Mahard commented. “The remaining two teams had to rise to the occasion and join the hunt. We had done our job and the pressure was there.”

Jonathan Torres and Wesley Johnson had a good run in the short go round with a time of 7.73 but it wasn’t enough to move Baldwin and Mahard so the pair held the lead. When the high team back failed to make a qualified run in the Average of the #13 Shoot-Out Mahard and Baldwin suddenly realized they had, indeed, actually won

the Average. It was unbelievable. It was next to impossible to actually grasp what had just happened.

“It is the Super Bowl of Team Roping,” Mahard said with a voice filled with emotion. “I think it took a minute to sink in.

We made our run and I just rode out the back gate. I could not watch. We had already won more than I ever expected so to win the Average and take it all was just overwhelming.”

Baldwin just couldn’t grasp all that had happened. He just seemed to be trying to sort it out and put it together. The pair may not talk much but there was absolutely no doubt they were on the same page and communicating quite effectively as the Average in the #13 Shoot-Out went down in the history books.

When the dust cleared, the numbers totaled and the checks dispensed one thing became very obvious. Andy Mahard and Colt Baldwin had taken a victory lap they never expected to take. When it was all over and done AND THEN THERE WAS ONE— Andy Mahard and Colt Baldwin were the Champions of the #13 Shoot-Out at the 2012 Cinch USTRC National Finals of Team Roping. It doesn’t get any better than that.

Hauling in Hot Weather Heather Smith Thomas

S

ummer is when most of us are working with horses and hauling them to roping events. Horses may suffer heat stress and dehydration when hauled in hot weather, especially if humidity is high and they have trouble cooling themselves by sweating.

There are ways a person can minimize stress and fluid loss, with careful management before, during and after a

26 / JULY 2013

trailer trip. Dr. Mike Foss (Alpine Veterinary Hospital, Hood River, Oregon) says horse owners need to realize that the temperature inside a trailer is always hotter than outside. Horses have been known to suffer heat stroke when hauled in extreme temperatures. “They are basically confined in a metal oven,” he says.

“Horses are amazing animals; they tolerate most of the things we do to them fairly well, but being hauled is stressful. It’s more stressful to some horses than others. A study I did years ago showed that they lose a fair amount of weight during transport, mainly from dehydration. One horse lost 77 pounds on a 450 mile trip, and it wasn’t even a very hot day; outdoor temperatures were in the 80’s and 90’s,” he says. Horses aren’t drinking when they are in a trailer, and very few people stop and water their horses during a trip.

Meanwhile, the horse is sweating, losing body fluid, and not replenishing it. He will suffer more stress, weight loss and fatigue if he is unaccustomed to traveling and is nervous and upset during all those hours in a trailer.

26 Horse Health_Layout 1 6/5/13 2:46 PM Page 27

Minimize Heat Buildup In The Trailer

“Ybetter idea how hot it actually gets in there. This can be

ou might put a thermometer in your trailer so you have a

eye-opening to realize what your horse has to deal with for 400 miles. One reason it gets hotter is because of the heat radiating up off the asphalt,” says Foss.

When traveling in hot weather, keep all the vents and windows open for more air flow. Park in the shade when you stop. Don’t leave horses in a parked trailer any longer than necessary. If heat is extreme, you may want to do most of your traveling at night.

Ventilation is crucial. “Some of the fancier trailers have air conditioning,” says Foss. If you don’t have that luxury, you might use wet wood shavings on the floor of the trailer, and pull into a gas station periodically and use a garden hose with a spray/mister on the end of it to dampen the bedding and the horses with water. This will help keep them cool and give their sweating mechanism a break (they’ll dehydrate less). Anything that will evaporate will help.

If weather is hot and dry, the air inside the trailer can be dusty, depending on how clean the trailer is, what kind of bedding is used, etc. This can add to respiratory issues and the overall stress when a horse is hauled. Wetting the bedding may serve a double purpose in keeping the trailer environment less dusty as well as cooler.

“For technology buffs, a person could figure out a way to hook up a system in the trailer that would spray a mist of water every 5 to 10 minutes. This would certainly drop the temperature in the trailer and help the horses stay cooler, especially in our dry climates in the West. In a humid environment it might not help as much. You’d need an air conditioning unit, or travel at night,” he says.

In humid weather you will notice the horses sweating in the trailer because the sweat won’t evaporate. They keep producing more sweat in an attempt to cool off, and become dehydrated. “In a dry environment you may not see the sweat because it evaporates about as quickly as it forms, but you can look for salt residue on the hair coat. The horses are still losing fluid but you won’t see it as readily,” says Foss.

“One of the best ways to tell how hard a trip is on your horse is to weigh him before and after. This is not practical for most people, but if you know what he weighed when he got

into the trailer and what he weighs when he gets out, you have an idea about hot stressful the trip was. Horses are tough animals and they won’t tell us anything, but they can lose a lot of weight during travel and it takes awhile to regain it. For performance horses this plays a bigger role in their success than most people realize.”

Some people take their horses a few days ahead of a big competition so they have a chance to rest and regain lost body weight/fluid, but many people don’t have the luxury of that kind of time. With some people’s schedule, rest for the horse is not an option. “And it does take more than a couple days to completely regain what is lost during the trip,” says Foss. So it’s important to make sure the horse loses the least weight possible while traveling.

“This is all the more reason to pay attention to feed and water, use electrolytes and maybe some ulcer medication, have the best ventilation possible in the trailer, etc.” If you want your horse at the top of his game for competition, every little thing you can do to help him may make a difference in how well he performs.

Some horses are so accustomed to being hauled around all summer from one roping to another that they are at ease with traveling and are not stressed as much as inexperienced horses (except for having to cope with heat and dehydration). If you haven’t hauled a horse a lot or he’s a nervous traveler, there are some ways you can help minimize his stress and susceptibility to heat stroke.

Water

A

big factor is making sure the horse is drinking every time you offer him water. If the trip is longer than 5 or 6 hours, stop and water the horses at some point along the way, to SUPERLOOPER MAGAZINE / 27

26 Horse Health_Layout 1 6/5/13 2:47 PM Page 28

make sure they won’t get dehydrated. If a horse won’t drink while in the trailer, unload him periodically to encourage him to drink. If he’s fussy about strange water, bring some from home. Better yet, get him used to drinking a certain flavor in his water before your trips, since you generally can’t carry enough water for a long trip or several days gone from home.

“If you carry water, take the extra weight into consideration. Place it appropriately in the trailer. On one trip, we took a couple 55-gallon barrels of water, in the front of the trailer. It bent the tongue because there was too much weight up front!” recalls Foss.

Some horses are reluctant to drink strange water at a rest stop, or when you arrive at the fairgrounds. A horse that’s used to drinking from a stream, pond, ditch or a tub/waterer supplied from a well may not drink the chlorinated water in a town or city. Some horses become seriously dehydrated because they won’t drink strange water.

“The advice I give for making sure a horse will drink strange water is to get him accustomed to a certain flavoring in his water at home,” says Foss. Then when you add a few drops of that particular flavoring to the water you give him on the trip, he is more likely to drink it.

You can disguise the taste of strange water with a little molasses, apple juice, soft drink mix, corn syrup, a drop of wintergreen or oil of peppermint. Experiment with various flavors at home to see what your horse tolerates best, and get him used to drinking it. Then you can take the flavoring on your trip instead of having to haul gallons and gallons of water. The horse gets used to that flavor/smell and is less apt to refuse to drink the water.

Electrolytes “I also advise people to use a low level of electrolytes when hauling horses in hot weather. This replaces important body salts that they lose during sweating, and also helps them drink better. There are several ways to administer electrolytes. Giving it in a paste would be most optimal, followed by putting it in the feed. I do not recommend putting electrolytes in the drinking water,” says Foss. If the water is salty the horse may not drink much. Foss suggests giving the horse a dose in the morning and in the evening, when traveling.

Feeding In The Trailer And During The Trip

O

n a short trip most people usually do not feed the horse. He’ll be fine for 2 or 3 hours without feed or water, and have less risk for colic, choking, inhaled dust from hay or grain, etc. If it’s a long trip, however, more than 4 or 5 hours, he should 28 / JULY 2013

be fed. The best thing to feed is clean grass hay (less dusty than alfalfa) or hay pellets. “I like to wet the hay—soak it before putting it in a hay net. This will minimize the amount of dust he’ll be sucking into his lungs,” says Foss. It also adds more moisture into his digestive tract.

Hay is always better to feed than grain. There is more risk for colic if the horse is fed grain and not enough roughage on a long trip. If you’ve been feeding him grain, reduce his ration just before the trip and gradually increase it again afterward. If he eats hay rather than grain on the trip he will also drink more water. Dehydration can be a serious problem on a long trip when horses don’t drink enough. The problem is compounded by decreased gut movement (due to lack of physical activity standing in the trailer).

What you feed a horse in hot weather can make a difference in how readily he overheats. Alfalfa, for instance, creates more heat during digestion than grass hay. “It’s best to stick with good grass hay in the summer. Alfalfa is a better winter feed, to help a horse keep warm,” says Foss.

What you feed the horse while traveling may also increase or decrease his risk for ulcers from the stress of travel. This is another reason hay is better than grain because it provides more buffer in the stomach to counteract excess acid. “Studies have shown that we can scope the horse at home, in his normal environment, and his stomach is healthy, and then haul the horse to a competition over the weekend, and by Monday morning the horse has ulcers, just from the shortterm stress,” says Foss.

Realizing this, you could put the horse on anti-ulcer medication while traveling. “You can use the simple products like H-Gard which can be obtained over the counter without a prescription, or something prescribed by your veterinarian. Omeprazole in its patented formulation is probably the best but also expensive. The generic omeprazole products are not a good equivalent and I don’t recommend them. They are not nearly as effective, because the chemicals they are carried in don’t do a very good job of getting the

26 Horse Health_Layout 1 6/5/13 2:48 PM Page 29

drug past the stomach acids without being inactivated,” he explains.

Ulcers inhibit performance; the horse can’t give his best effort when he’s uncomfortable. Since ulcers are caused by stress, the more you can reduce stress when your horse is away from home, the better. Traveling in hot weather can be a big stress, so every attempt should be made to minimize this as much as possible. This means keeping him as cool as possible, and feeding hay—which is less prone to cause ulcers than grain.

Stopping Along The Way Versus Hauling Straight Through

S

ome people stop and give the horses a break while others prefer to keep going and not unload the horses until they reach their destination. “In the endurance world we studied this, comparing the horses that were rested along the way—with regular breaks— with horses that traveled straight through,” says Foss.

“My personal experience with this was traveling with a team of people heading for a championship event. We had our kids with us so we could only go as far as the kids could go before it was time to stop and change diapers and feed them. Everyone got a break, and we only traveled about 400 miles in a day. We’d only go about 4 hours before we stopped and took a break. The riders got out and unloaded the horses, and also exercised them in the evenings because we had plenty of time. That particular group of horses won the championship, won the team championship, won the best condition awards, etc. They arrived there in great shape, as opposed to the other horses in our group that hauled straight through. Those horses did not compete as well,” he says.

Stopping along the way can break the stress cycle.

“If you are taking the horse to do something less strenuous, you may not notice the difference in

performance. But if you are competing in a sport where your horse needs to be at peak ability, such as a timed event like roping, this might be an important thing to consider,” says Foss.

It may depend on how far you are traveling and how hot it is.

“Roping competition will be a little different than an endurance ride, but giving the horse a break during a long haul may help him do better in his roping run. He won’t get as stiff if he has a break and a chance to get out and move around. Leaving him standing in the trailer is not as restful for him as just tying him up outside. This not only gives him the opportunity to more around more, but also gives him a chance to get his head down if he’s been in a trailer with a manger or tied by the head,” says Foss.

“If his head has been up for the whole trip, like it is in most trailers, the horse doesn’t have a way to get his head down for normal clearing of the lungs and airways. With his head up he can’t get rid of all the dust and mucus buildup, and makes him more likely to develop respiratory problems. If a horse can get out and get his head down to cough, or eat off the ground while he’s taking a break from the trailer, this will greatly help his overall health.” It will also help him relax and lower his overall stress level.

MORE TIPS ON TRAVELING WITH HORSES “It’s always crucial to make sure your health papers are current, and have those with you. Depending on your state, you may also need a brand inspection. Some states keep close track on whether you have the proper identification for your horse and other states don’t,” Foss says.

“Health papers are always important. The past few years, with EHV-1 outbreaks and some of the other problems we’ve seen, horses are being checked more frequently. I was at an event recently where the officials came out and checked every horse’s papers.” This has become standard procedure for most major horse facilities, events and competitions around the country.

“I advise people to be current on their horses’ vaccinations, especially influenza, rhino, and sometimes strangles—depending on where you are going with the horses. Check with your own vet, but also realize you may be traveling to areas where there may be diseases that you do not have to contend with at home,” says Foss. Horses at a show or rodeo that look healthy may have been recently exposed to something that they could pass along to your horse.

“It’s always important to vaccinate against West Nile and eastern/western encephalomyelitis just because summertime (with mosquitoes) puts every horse at risk for these diseases,” he says.

Some better than others, but all are different. How do you decide which one to use? Which one will work best for you?

Does it fit your style? Do you like to practice that way? Again more decisions to make. It is the same way with team roping schools.

The horses are slick, the weather is good and the cost of diesel is under $4— well that is in some places anyway—and just look at the calendar, team ropings all over. Why would you want to think about going to school this time of year? In the book by Dr. Seuss, I Can Read With My Eyes Shut, he states “The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.” This could not be truer for the team roper. The more you learn, the more you build your skills, and you will not only go more places, but hopefully you will go to the pay window more often.

APHA and USTRC Team Up On New Team Roping Venture 2013 APHA Cowtown ShootOut

T

he American Paint Horse Association (APHA) and United States Team Roping Championships (USTRC) announced today a new joint venture team roping event to be held this Fall in Fort Worth, Texas in conjunction with APHA Open/Amateur World Show (Nov. 6-17, 2013). The event, the Cowtown ShootOut presented by the APHA will take place November 15-17, 2013 at the renowned Will Rogers Coliseum and will be produced by the USTRC. This great new event will now be included as one of the USTRC’s 2014 80-plus fully sanctioned qualifier ropings held annually in the United States and will be open to all ropers, not just those riding Paint Horses.

A special feature of the event, however, will be directed at APHA members. A $5,000 cash bonus has been set aside and will be offered in addition to the regular USTRC payout and prize line. If the rider of a registered Paint Horse has a TRIAD Classification number of six (#6) or greater, and is high money winner with that classification, the owner of the horse will earn a $2,500 cash bonus. The same $2,500 incentive bonus will be awarded to the owner of the registered paint horse whose rider was the high money winner classified as an Elite #5 and below. The owners must be APHA members to receive the bonus.

“We are very pleased to join forces with the USTRC for this team roping and to be able to hold it in conjunction with our World Show”, said Billy Smith, APHA Executive Director. “It will be a great climax to our World Show, coming as it does on the final weekend.” Kirk Bray, USTRC President, added, “We appreciate the opportunity to team up with the APHA during its World Show to produce an event in Fort Worth, Texas and the Will Rogers Coliseum.

This event will benefit all ropers in the North Texas area and beyond, but for those competing on paint horses the APHA cash bonus will be a special attraction.”

Entry information will become available shortly in various roping oriented print publications, in SuperLooper Magazine, or by calling the USTRC at 254.968.0002. Horses must be registered for the incentive bonus at the roping.

just light tension, and you could rope a steer, and she started to pick her shoulder up and take just a step out.

That little walk drill started to happen in the run.

Nobody really knows how to make a great head horse anymore. What I mean is a horse that will last and work for 20 years. I’m afraid that unless somebody like Steve Branco takes the time to teach these forgotten truths, all the things that generations of ropers have taught him will be lost.

Next, Steve showed me how to teach my horse to stay strong on a rope and pull correctly, using two logs tied end to end with a piece of rope in the middle. In these photos, Steve shows you how to set your logs for a double jerk that simulates a steer’s weight in the corner. This will teach your horse to lean into the weight. You can see that one log is set across the arena so your horse can move it as he starts his turn. This is the light part of the corner. Then after the turn, the second log’s weight kicks in just like a steer that gets heavy in the corner. These two logs we used are for a young horse. The next step is to use two railroad ties.

Well, I’m thankful for the horsemanship lessons my friend Steve “Poo Bear” Branco gave me. It’s going to really bring my horsemanship to a new level. Keep an open mind and your eyes open folks. We can get better.

Your Friend,

112 B&W Hitch PR_Layout 1 5/31/13 11:13 AM Page 112

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

B&W Trailer Hitches Delivers First Aftermarket Gooseneck Hitch for 2013 RAM 3500 Trucks America’s number-one-selling gooseneck hitch manufacturer puts popular Turnoverball solution in distribution, while OEM struggles with product delays HUMBOLDT, Kan.—B&W Trailer Hitches, a leading U.S.based manufacturer of heavy-duty, engineered trailer hitches and aftermarket truck/trailer accessories, announced that it has begun shipping its new GNRK 1314 aftermarket gooseneck trailer hitch to its nationwide distribution network. The new hitch features B&W’s popular Turnoverball design and provides the same ease of installation and simplicity of use that the North American trailer-hauling marketplace has come to know and expect.

Many 2013 RAM 3500 owners have been stunned to discover that the accessories necessary for their factory-installed gooseneck trailer hitch to function are simply not yet available.

Preliminary data also suggests that if owners did not specify RAM’s towing package, they might have to pay for the bed of their new truck to be removed in order to install the MOPAR gooseneck hitch. Either way, the RAM owner’s hitch is rendered inoperable because there is currently no hitch ball available.

“This unfortunate set of circumstances has caused inconvenience and confusion among my customers,” Hayden Elder, principle of Elder Dodge in Athens, Texas, said. “Our customers prefer the B&W brand over any other gooseneck hitch, and I’m grateful that we have their GNRK 1314 hitch available now, as the RAM 3500s begin hitting our lot.”

Enter B&W Trailer Hitches and their new GNRK 1314 aftermarket gooseneck trailer hitch. An online video demonstrates that the GNRK 1314 installs much like the other B&W gooseneck trailer hitch kits that have become number-one sellers among truck dealers and end-users alike. B&W’s new hitch is comparably priced with its other gooseneck offerings, with an MSRP of $494 and fits on any 2013 RAM 3500 without a factory-installed hitch prep package. Best of all, the new hitch comes with B&W’s signature Turnoverball feature, which allows the hitch ball to invert in its mounting socket when not in use to stow securely and flush with the bed of the truck.

In contrast to B&W’s Turnoverball design, the RAM’s OE hitch ball, when it eventually becomes available, will need to be removed from its mounting socket and stowed elsewhere. Removing the hitch ball from its mounting location leaves it prone to being lost, misplaced and generally becoming a storage nuisance.

“Since we introduced the Turnoverball in 1992, gooseneck users have grown accustomed to turning over and stowing the hitch ball where they use it, and it’s hard for us to imagine why the OE would revert to an outdated, less practical design,” Travis McCall, product engineer for B&W Trailer Hitches, said.

112 / JULY 2013

“Our new GNRK 1314 honors B&W’s reputation for creating easy-to-install hitches that are easy to use as well.”

B&W’s GNRK 1314 aftermarket gooseneck trailer hitch has been carefully engineered to match the towing capacity of the 2013 RAM 3500. The product has been extensively tested and is certified as meeting the vehicle tow rating (VTR). As with any towing scenario, B&W strongly recommends that users never exceed a VTR. “For over a quarter of a century, we’ve enjoyed serving truck dealers of all brands, who love installing our hitch products for their customers,” Beth Barlow, marketing manager for B&W Trailer Hitches, said. “Our quick assessment of this needs gap and our rapid response to fill it are a testament to B&W’s dedication to our RAM dealer customers, their customers and the towing marketplace at large.”

B&W Trailer Hitches specializes in designing and engineering trailer hitches and aftermarket truck/trailer accessories, and has a proud reputation as a U.S.-based manufacturer and innovator. The company’s workforce makes all of its products entirely in Humboldt, Kan. The design of the GNRK 1314 aftermarket gooseneck trailer hitch has a patent pending. A complete product catalog can be accessed on the B&W website.

B&W’s GNRK 1314 aftermarket gooseneck trailer hitch can be used to replace the product designation 53W 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Towing Prep Group, for the 2013 RAM 3500. A fifth wheel hitch is expected to be introduced within several weeks.

B&W’s GNRK 1314 aftermarket gooseneck trailer hitch can be purchased online, and a dealer locator is also available at: www.Turnoverball.com/find-a-dealer To view an installation video for B&W’s GNRK 1314 aftermarket gooseneck trailer hitch, please visit: www.Turnoverball.com/ramchanges

Don’t Miss This One

get a lot of horse sale catalogs and to hear them tell it, none of the horses ever took a wrong step. Just once I’d like to read something like this: Lot #1- Frisbee, a buckskin consigned

by Trader Joe. So named because he’s hard to catch. Sired by Ivan the Terrible and out of Eulogy, a mare who pulled a plow all her life. A little humpy in the morning and truly does not like anything on his back. Buy this horse and you’ll soon be doing equestrian feats you never thought possible.

Lot #2- Root Canal, the property of Coyote Charley. Bay mare sired by the great Horse Face and out of the mare, Boneyard. Root Canal is unregistered, untrained and unwanted, at least around this outfit. Her mother is a full sister to a PRCA horse; that’s right, a PRCA bareback bronc in Cotton Rosser’s Flying U Rodeo, to be exact. Feel free to put your kid up on

her, if your kid can ride like Casey Tibbs.

Lot #3- Orwell, consigned by Kettle Belly Bill, this flea bag pinto gelding was born in 1984. Hence, the name. Orwell has many features that aren’t hard to miss including an overshot jaw, fistulated withers and lots of color. Yes, lots of chrome but not much under the hood on this one. Used in a salesyard for years (pulling the feed wagon.)

Lot #4- Buzzard Bait, a sorrel consigned by Lard Bottom Bob and Single Cinch Sally out of Sunfisher and sired by a real famous horse you’ve never heard of.

His father had lifetime career earnings of $12.50. Can’t catch, can’t shoe and can’t load but we have shot off him... once.

Seems to show a passing interest in cattle.

Lot #5- Old Leather Lip, a roan knothead consigned by Alibi Abe. Sired by Write Off and out of a plug named Dishwater. A true kid’s horse, yes, my kid

is selling him because she needs money for college. She never could ride him but your kid might. Would make a good barrel horse, hauling barrels, that is. Full disclosure: don’t tie this horse up unless you want a shorter set of reins or your tack room pulled off its foundation.

Lot #6- Picasso, A real good looking horse if you are blind in one eye and can’t see out of the other. Consigned by Lying Lucy, this white mare will attract lightning like a magnet. Her dam, Jet Lag, was a real good sleeper and her sire was called Eleven And A Half because when you were riding him you were darn near afoot. This mare never makes any sudden moves and is real easy to catch. She was once clocked at 30 miles per hour, until they unloaded her.

Can’t run but she walks real nice.

Lot # 7- Imelda, so named because she always needs new shoes. This chestnut was consigned by Not Much Land and Livestock who are only her 15th owner.

This barren mare eats real good and has lots of experience. You will too when you get her age. She’s a distant cousin to a horse Trevor Brazille once looked at.

Lot #8- Retread, consigned by the bank for the joint account of Rum Dum Johnson and Tom the Trader. This palomino is out of Oklahoma by Midnight.

Ridden 30 days. Well, not exactly ridden but has been tied up for that long. Without a doubt, the poorest example of horseflesh in this catalog.

Lot #9- EGAD! This all-around knucklehead is consigned by the Wild Horse Ranch. He’s already put two people in the hospital and drove one man to drink and is still a young horse. Lots of potential here!

Sired by Hammerhead and out of Miss Understanding. I have drug calves to the fire. Not on this horse, but I have done it.

You can go many directions with this horse, mostly up, down and off.

Lot # 10- Mankiller, from Blowhard Bill’s Quarter Horses who acquired this horse at a BLM adoption. You can do it all on him: jump fences, fly off cliffs, and buck so high you’ll see the rings of Saturn. You name it, he’s done it. He’s listed last in the catalog because he’s a home-loving little devil and we have never loaded him up, so we may need a little extra time to get him to the auction come sale day. Don’t miss this one. wwwLeePittsbooks.com

On the Edge of Common Sense

by Baxter Black, DVM

etting injured is an embarrassment to a cowboy.

Unlike professional athletes with trainers and insurance, “playing hurt” is expected in the cowboy world.

It is part of the cowboy mentality; which is better, letting your broken arm heal or repelling down the face of Mt. Everest on a dare?

Dave had two 3-year-old fillies in training. He’s a bit of an eclectic cowboy; he paints eggs, likes Yoko Ono’s music, and has read Jack Kerouac’s book On The Road. So it was not unusual to find himself in the corral wearing shorts and Birkenstocks, throwing an English saddle on one of the fillies.

Sometimes horses disguise their resentment of a horse trainer’s smug arrogance by cooperating. Other days they just say, “Stick it in your ear!” The filly bucked him out of his Birkenstocks, over his head and into the fence! Dave found himself on the ground and hip-locked. His knee worked but he could not lift his left leg forward. Walking was sort of a stepshuffle-step-shuffle-stumble-slide gait.

As you would expect of a true cowboy, over the next three days he fulfilled his

promise to help gather the neighbor’s cows, but he was handicapped. To mount his horse involved a step stool and powerful shoulders. A potty break was out of the question!

Saturday came with no improvement but he was adjusting… eating on the sofa, walking in circles and pirouetting. Though he could still not lift his leg, he could bend over so, when Uncle Herman wanted his big CR VSA Belgian mare shod, Dave said, “Bring her over.” This kind of sedentary work remained within his ability.

He’d gotten around to the offside hind leg and was holding the platesized foot in his hands. The big mare

began leaning her huge haunch on Dave’s back, crushing him. He slowly collapsed as her 1,950 pounds pressed down and slid along his back. Dave said he heard three little clicks, like a grandfather clock’s Tick-Tock-Tick.

He crumpled and rolled, then, without thinking he rose and stepped away… cured!

Hey, I believed him. But, I believe Sea, too. the Red Moses parted IN HOUSE PROOF CRX’D I’ve heard of Equine Chiropractory, but not in that context.

In conclusion Dave answered the classic question, “Is there a doctor in the horse?!” www.baxterblack.com

an’t Never Could and Never Will…” I don’t know how many times I heard my Dad tell me that over the years. In fact I was once asked by

happen to be one of those fortunate folks who happen to know my Dad then you know how accurate and true these words actually are. As a school teacher he spent his entire forty-plus year teaching career telling kids that they could do anything that they put their minds to. He inspired them to live their lives knowing that no dream was too big, no goal too far and no plan too complex for anyone who was willing to just stay the course. He just said all of that with those six simple words…

“Can’t Never Could and Never Will.” So as I sit here in front of this old manual typewriter trying to hammer out another monthly installment I feel somewhat uneasy about where my mind is actually taking us as I discuss the words… Can’t Never Can and Never Has…” This epiphany of “Can’t Never Can and Never Has” actually hit me as I went to spend a few days with Krece Harris at the NRS Arena in Decatur, Texas at one of his very instructional roping schools. You may not believe this but I am kind of one of those “roping geeks” who spends more time trying to figure out the physical aspect as well as the physics of roping than actually really roping. Complicate the equation with the fact that I was voted “Least likely to be Isaac Newton” by the LHS Physics Club and you can only imagine the mess that I left in my wake as security escorted me off of the premises of the NRS World-wide campus just hours after arriving there. With just a few innocuous questions pertaining to the theory of perpetual surfemtricular propultrous motion and pretty soon a seasoned pro like Krece was unable to decipher which end of the rope to even hold let alone how to actually swing it. It reminded me a lot of when security escorted me off of the grounds at Augusta National after I asked a young kid named Rory a question on the number ten tee box a couple of years ago about his thoughts on the theory of parelusiveness and left-

centered auxiliary rotation.

Anyway back to this month’s topic of “Can’t Never Can and Never Has” and what it means to the “average” team roper. It is very important for you to notice that I said the “average” team roper. You see the pros don’t have to worry about “Can’t Never Can and Never Has” because whether they know it or not they “Can and always Could…” It’s as simple as that. I guess that is what made the brief time that I was able to spend with Krece so enlightening to me because he not only knows he “Can” but more importantly physically and physicsly why he “Can” actually do what he does. There is an old saying that goes like this… “He who can does and he who can’t teaches”. Although those words may be true of some I did not find that to be the case while under the tutelage of Professor Harris. He really was able to break “IT” down by breaking “ME” down and although that sounds pretty painful it was anything but. He was able to analytically break down my physical actions and correlate my physical inadequacies to my actual physical limitations.

Now I know that things are getting pretty convoluted for most of you about now because you are wondering just what my physical inadequacies have to do with you and your roping. The real truth of the matter lies in the fact that at the end of the day it’s not just about me rather it’s about us. One of the reasons the USTRC allows me to keep publishing this monthly installment is because there are far more of us who “Can’t” than those who actually “Can”. It gets even more complex because those that “Can” make it look so darn easy… especially for those of us who “Can’t and Never Could.” Which brings me to the real crux of what I learned when I last went to roping school.

You see I went to a roping school some twenty-plus years ago and although I went with the knowledge of “Can’t Never Could and Never Will” I left thinking “You can’t teach an old dog new tricks”. My how times have changed since then and I must say that although they have changed somewhat slowly thankfully they have in fact changed. “It’s not that you can’t teach a dog new tricks, it’s that you can’t teach a dog to fly”. You can in fact teach a dog to do any number of things that you would never think a dog could do if you are willing to spend the time (if you don’t

believe me just go to You Tube® and see for yourself). However the fact remains that dogs don’t have wings and thus dogs can’t fly. It’s not that someone hasn’t tried it’s the simple fact that physically dogs are not equipped to fly and the physics of the facts don’t lie.

Over the remainder of this summer’s roping season I am going to share with you the four most important physical/physics lessons that I have learned over the past few years as I have broken up and down just about everyone and everything this sports hold dear. Although I can’t promise you that at the end it will make you a better roper, I can promise you this… At the end you will know why you are not a better roper… What you do with that little bit of information is then up to you. That is when you will have to decide what describes you and your roping the best. “Can’t Never Could and Never Will” or “Can’t Never Can and Never Has.” Until next month. Good luck…

Good health… Good Roping… Good Riddance… and God Bless!!!

Other Half

by Gracie Mae Thoughts from a Team Roping Spouse © The Other Half / Thoughts of a Team Roping Spouse / Melinda Clements / Melinda@clements.net July 2013

Eating Habits A Navicular Nightmare Shortly after purchasing my gelding I had him checked by several vets. We took x-rays and that told the story – my gelding’s worst nightmare, navicular! He had multiple holes in both front feet. I tried all 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 Happen Feeling 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 and the 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 Chance I 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 owner sold 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 Up Today I have two healthy horses and would like to share with everyone that if it hadn’t been for TLC Animal 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 pull myself away from the correct and honest information I get each time from TLC Animal Nutrition.

cannot help but be concerned.

We rope all the time. When summer comes roping occupies our every waking moment. I’m beginning to think it has some diverse and perhaps even dangerous consequences especially when it comes to food. Roping, fellowship and food all seem to be linked together no matter how hard you try to separate them.

Try as I might to get decent food on the table and haul healthy snacks in the trailer the lure and appeal of fast food and the concession stand looms like a beckoning monster over our heads.

You know full well there is just nothing like the temptation of nachos, quesadillas and corn dogs versus carrot sticks, granola bars, apples and nuts. Who wouldn’t be tempted by the smell of a greasy grilled burger versus cauliflower and broccoli shoots?

What roper doesn’t need the full sensation and suffer from a hurriedly eaten burrito “because I rope next” syndrome? You have to admit it is quick energy, a lasting full taste often followed by Tums or Alka Seltzer, but it serves its purpose. Right? Who, in their right mind, would refuse that kind of meal over a fruity nutty granola bar and a tuna fish sandwich?

I can hear my ropers grumbling.

“Awe mom! Can’t we have spicy fries and a Frito pie? I’m tired of your carrot sticks and bananas.”

Boss is the worse of the group.

“You are kidding me! Are you crazy?

122-123 Other Half _Layout 1 5/31/13 1:27 PM Page 123

You expect me to eat a cup of yogurt and rope all day? A man’s got to have some sustenance. I have to have something to stick to my innards. For crying out loud!”

I’ve tried to work out and stay fit and healthy, but some things just don’t “workout.” Goodness knows following my ropers around is work out enough.

I trail them all day, run errands, carry ropes, water horses, and seem to do quite well on healthy snacks.

Perhaps it is the lure and smell of fast food. You have to admit there is just something enticing about hot dogs, cheeseburgers, and curly fries simmering over a greasy, half cleaned stove. The aroma sifts over and through the coliseum and all of a sudden you aren’t just hungry you are flat starving to death.

I think the food is sabotaged actually. It is like the Lays Potato Chip commercial where you can’t eat just one. You eat something and twenty minutes later you are still hungry “for something” never quite knowing exactly what you want to eat.

I remember at one roping I finally gave in and we ate at the concession stand. Fifteen minutes later June Bug comes by and she desperately needs a candy bar and a coke. Right behind her comes Boss.

“Can you get me a candy bar, Gracie? I’m still hungry for some reason,” Boss mumbled. “That candy bar will give me some quick energy!”

“I’ve got some high energy Planter’s nuts here, Boss. They are designed for quick energy,” I explain. His look of

disdain and “you’ve got to be kidding” makes me hand over the money.

Concessions girls, here they come!

How much energy does it take to carry a rope? More than that how many calories do you burn during each run in the roping? Someone needs to be researching that. I just wonder if the food is drugged in some manner to keep pulling you back for more. I know I burn a dab of calories each time I go up and down the stairs in the coliseum. Whether it is a bathroom run, going atop to film or hitting the concession stand it does burn calories. Then add to that the fact I’m always making a trek to the trailer and trading out ropes I’m on the move.

That doesn’t mean I’m a lean mean fitness machine but it does mean I’m not sitting still. Besides I hate the after taste the concession stand leaves. I always need gum or a mint or something else to get the taste out of my mouth. Come to think of it, maybe that is why we have spit cups around so Boss can get the taste out of his mouth! YUCK!!

I’ve discovered my dogs like the concessions just as much as my roping crew. Give a dog the choice of a granola bar and a burrito and the burrito wins every single time.

Regardless, I’m not hauling any more healthy snacks. It just isn’t worth the time and effort. Money spent one way or another is still money spent.

Keep Ropin, Love Gracie

Walt Woodard

Hello

T

he late Earl Nightingale was a wonderful motivational speaker. He put out a series of cassettes called “Lead the Field” and I was fortunate enough to have had the opportunity to listen to them. One of the messages that he had talked about was goals and the importance of them. He said that if you ask 100 people why they get out of bed in the morning, 95 of them would say, because that’s what everyone else is doing. He said that if you ask them what they want out of life, they would give you general answers like good health, more money and happiness. Only five percent of the population can tell you exactly what they are working toward. He said that a man without a goal is like a ship without a rudder, just floating aimlessly out on the sea. The chance of that ship making it into port is a million to one.

Mr Nightingale said that if you are serious about success, when someone asks you what your goal is, you should immediately be able to answer and have a time limit that you have on accomplishing your goal. He also said that we should have a 5 x 10 card next to our bed, one taped to our refrigerator, our bathroom mirror and one in our wallet with our goal written down, so we can see it first thing in the morning, last thing at night and as many times as you can through the day. We need to place that goal in our subconscious mind and make it a burning desire. He states that we should also write down on a separate piece of paper what we are willing to do and what we are willing to give up to get what we want. He said that if it’s a big beautiful new house, have someone draw the plans up because once you place it in your mind and you start working toward it, it will happen.

Are there going to be bumps on the road? Of course, but success without struggle is meaningless. He also said that once you reach your goal, you should set

124 / JULY 2013

another one, then another because that’s what a successful life is all about.

I did exactly what he suggested during parts of my life and the results were amazing. I have written things down that I wanted, and at the time had no idea how I was going to achieve them. But like magic, the answers came.

The reason I’m writing this is because the other day I did an interview, and the person asked me what my goal was, and I had nothing to say. I gave a very general answer and it bothered me. I have always had a goal, something that drives me and gives me a definite purpose in life, and I love that feeling.

I have become comfortable in my life. I have a warm house, an automobile that doesn’t break down and plenty to eat. I have been just coasting along, hoping something good happens and nothing too bad. I have always been able to tell you exactly what I want out of life and for me, as I have gotten older I think I have gotten lazy and content.

There is a long list of things that I want to accomplish, and a very short list of things that I have accomplished. Most of my family lived until their their late 80’s or 90’s.

I don’t want to float out at sea for the next 40 years, and I’m not going to.

I have already written down what my new goal is. I’m excited about the challenge that lies ahead.

This is not very profound, but I saw this written on a bathroom wall the other day.

“There are three kinds of people in this world: those who make things happen, those who watch things happen, and those who wonder what in the world is happening.” I have been in the last group for a while. Now I have a clear, definite goal set and I want to be in the group of people who make things happen.

Until next month Thanks for your time Walt Woodard

Announcements continued from page 10 Shoot-Out Eligibility Remember elgibility to enter a Shoot-Out Division requires participation at a 2013 USTRC event or USTRC approved event. Every eligible current member has been awarded Flex Earnings ($1,000 to Gold Spur members and $3,000 to Gold Plus members) that can be used to qualify for a Regional Shoot-Out position. It takes $2,000 in earnings to qualify, so combine your earnings with another member and you’re in! Of course you may also qualify by placing 1st through 5th in the Average at any USTRC sanctioned event. Be sure to check out your Available Earnings at www.ustrc.com or call 254.968.0002 ext. 5103 should you need more information.

Flex Earnings When awarded $1,000 in Flex Earnings from placing at USTRC events ropers may count the greater of their winnings on Flex Earnings (not to exceed $3,000) toward qualifying for Regional or National Shoot-Out positions. The difference between winnings and $1,000 in Flex Earnings will be considered Applied Earnings and will not expire at the end of each season.

For example, if the winning amount is $1,364, the roper will have $1,000 in Flex Earnings and $364 in Applied Earnings.

WSTR winnings up to $3,000 are counted as Flex Earnings, which will expire at the end of the USTRC Season.
