and chopped considerably more than any of the otherworkers. He went home tired and because he had workedhard and was in good shape he went to sleep with a smileon his face. He had accomplished his goal and was readyfor the next day. Tuesday came and Ken worked harderthan anyone else. He was like a machine and hisproduction was unbelievable. Wednesday was next and Kenoutworked everyone, but didn’t produce as much as theother two days. On Thursday, Ken went to work like a madman, but his production fell off even more. As Friday cameto a close, Ken was worn out. He had outworked everyoneall week, but his production was less than everyone else.The boss came and told him he could pick up his check atthe office on the way out and that he was going to have tolet him go.

Ken was devastated. He told the boss that he justcouldn’t understand it. He had worked harder than fivemen and he was doing his best. The boss told Ken that hewas not letting Ken go because of his work ethic.

He said “I appreciate the hard work, but I just cannotuse a guy like you on my crew.”

Ken just didn’t get it. The boss then told Ken, “Son, I justhave one question for you. When is the last time yousharpened your ax?”

You see, Ken started out with a sharp ax, but as heworked his ax became dull and he never took the time tohone it, thus he worked harder and produced less. When hewas out of work, he had prepared himself, but once he wentto work he became lax in his preparation and just focusedon working. He was working himself to death, but notkeeping himself prepared for each day. Everyone out thereneeds a little sharpening on a daily basis.

I tell you this story because it can apply to a lot ofthings. It can apply to team roping, to school, to work, or tolife in general. If you are like me, you work hard, but if youdon’t hone your skills then you are doing just that —working hard and not producing. It is important that we donot just go out there and beat on a tree if we are trying tochop it down. We need to work, practice and live with apurpose. Don’t just do things to be doing them. Know whatyou are doing and why. In the long run you, your boss, yourcoworkers and your friends will appreciate your workingsmarter and not harder and that is just the way it is....

NOVEMBER 2012JUST the

WAY IT IS

he Cinch National Finals of Team Roping is underway.Team ropers from all walks of life have converged onOklahoma City for my favorite team roping event in

the world. There are people from all over in attendance andI just love people. I like watching people and observing howthey handle situations. I like watching how they preparethemselves and how they react to certain events. Observingthis National Finals of Team Roping and seeing everyonecompete...some good and some bad...really set me tothinking about how we live, how we work, and how wepractice. Many of us put forth a lot of work, but are we beingproductive? Are we working in the right way and using theright tools?

I recently heard a story about a young man named Kenwho lost his job as a lumberjack. He is a very hard worker andvery good at what he does, but he was just out of a job. Hespent his time off looking for work and sharpening his ax incase some work came along. He wanted to be ready when theopportunity arose for him to perform. Each day he would dowork around his place and work with his ax. Each evening hewould sharpen his ax because he didn’t want to beunprepared when the day came he could go back to work.

One day the boss of a large timber company came by andasked Ken if he could possibly help with a problem he had.Ken had come highly recommended by several people andso the boss sought him out. There was a tree that needed tobe chopped down. It would take some precision to get it toland in just the right spot. There were houses all around thetree and a road on the other side. The tree would have to fallin just the right place. The boss had been told that Ken wasvery good, so he asked Ken if he was up to the task.

Ken took a look at the situation and knew he couldhandle it with ease. He was eager to accept and very excitedto get to work. He told the boss that he would accept thetask. He also expressed his desire to stay on once thatparticular job was done. Both agreed. The work was to bedone on the following Monday. Ken spent the weekendpreparing himself and his ax to go to work. When it wastime, Ken took the tree down with precision and ease. His axwas sharp and the work was done in no time. He was strongfrom his daily workouts and his ax was sharper than ever.

Ken moved on and went right to work. When Mondaycame to a close Ken had worked harder than anyone else

ow many times over the course of our lives have weheard predictions? Experts, pundits, authorities,

specialists, gurus and savants are continually making forecasts,prophecies, projections, prognostications and sheer guesses aboutwhat is going to happen in the future in economics, politics, sports,technology, religion, the stock market, and every other disciplineknown to man. It’s human nature to try and divine what is going tohappen in the future. Nothing new there, but my difficulty withthese various and numerous predictions is that we rarely ever seean accounting of how well or poorly these predictions did. Well, in last November’s issue of this column I made a

prediction of sorts. I tried to predict for you the difference theUSTRC’s new policy of guaranteeing one million dollars inadded money at the Cinch National Finals of Team Roping andits accompanying elimination of the 5% per sanctioned ropingcontributions to the Finals Shoot-Out Fund would make in thesize of sanctioned roping pots. The prediction or estimate ofwhat impact that new policy would have is repeated here in theTables, Bayou Championships #13 and East TexasChampionships #8 Pick/Draw. In those tables I took actualropings from 2011, the Bayou Championships #13 and the EastTexas Championships #8 Pick/Draw, and projected what thepayout would look like in hypothetical ropings under the newpolicy assuming the same number of teams and entry fee. Theprojections looked pretty darn good. But how well did myprojections hold up? I went back to all of the sanctioned ropingsUSTRC held in 2011 and so far in 2012 and tried to find ropingsheld at the same location in 2011 and 2012, with the same entryfee, and that had divisions with almost the same number ofteams in both years. I was able to find three that matched thoseparameters –– the Bayou Championships #11, the TexasChampionships #13 and the West-Ark Classic #8 Pick/Draw. Itried to find three that were in different divisions in order to geta representative sampling. I am proud to say that the predictionwas very comparable to the actual. Now, if it hadn’t been, youmight not have seen this column but I would like to think Iwould have run it anyway. But, we will never know.How close was my estimate to the actual? Let’s start by

looking at one of the ropings I used in last year’s column, theBayou #13. In the Bayou #13, there were 144 teams who paid$200 for a roping gross of $28,800. After producer’s commissionand Shoot-Out Fund deductions the Roper’s Pot amounted to$17,832. As per the USTRC Rulebook, a roping with 126 to 250

teams pays two places for overall fast time and the two placesare split 60% for first and 40% for second and 5% of the roper’spot is paid to fast time overall with the remainder (95%) going tothe Average. The number of places paid in the Average is alsobased on the number of teams entered and Rule 7.3.2 shows that126 to 150 teams pays 7 places in the Average with 6th and 7thplace paying 2 times the entry fee. The percentages paid to eachplace is taken from Rulebook Paragraph 7.3 for the remainingfive places listed in the table. The math and the actual payout forthe #13 at the Bayou Championships is also shown in the table.The winners of the event earned $5,810.Next to it in the table is the Hypothetical #13 Roping. For

what the payout would be in 2012, I assumed the exact sameparameters - a #13 roping with 144 teams at $200 per team. Withno Shoot-Out Fund contribution being made, the roper’s potincreases from $17,832 to $19,200 as $19,200 is 66.7% of theroping gross of $28,800. The column next to the HypotheticalRoping #13 payout is the percent increase from the actual BayouChampionships to this new and improved payout format. You’llnotice that the payout increase of $17,832 to $19,201 amounts toa 7.7% increase. Winners of the Average in this hypotheticalroping would have picked up an extra $468, ($5,810 to $6,278) anincrease in their purse of 8.1%.

Now let’s look at an actual roping, the Texas Championships#13. In 2011, with producer’s commission and the Shoot-OutFund fee taken out, this #13 had a Roper’s Pot of $17,710 with145 teams. But this year, the same #13, with only a flat 33.3%taken out, the Roper’s Pot increased to $19,276 even thoughthere was only one more team (146). That’s an overall Roper’s Potincrease of 8.8%, even better than our hypothetical #13 ropingincrease of 7.7%. The winners of the Average of this #13 wentfrom $5,768 in 2011 to $6,304 in 2012, a $536 or 9.3% increase. SoI was a little off, big deal!

Let’s look at another roping from last year’s column, the #8Pick/Draw at the East Texas Championships. The #8 at Athenswas a big roping with 253 teams at $120 per team for a ropinggross of $30,360 (253 x $120). After producer’s commission andShoot-Out Fund deductions the Roper’s Pot amounted to$18,732. The rest of the payout, as listed, was all determined bythe Payout Percentages table in the Rulebook (paragraph 7.5).Moving over to Hypothetical Roping #8, you will see that if thisroping had been held under the new payout format, the roper’spot would have increased from $18,732 to $20,240, an increaseof 8.1%. That’s because $20,240 is a flat 66.7% of the roping grossof $30,360, the new and simple calculation for roper’s pot.

Now let’s compare hypothetical to the real thing, the West-Ark Classic #8 Pick/Draw of 2011 and 2012. The Roper’s Pot in2011 at this roping with 246* teams, subtracting the Shoot-Outfees, was $17,336. The Roper’s Pot in 2012 with 250 teams is$20,210, again, 66.7% of the gross (250 x $120 = $30,000). Withonly four more teams, Roper’s Pot increased by a healthy 9.7%.First in the Average increase by 11.4% ($4,410 to $4,912).

So there you have two very good examples of how thepayouts have changed with our new and improved 2012 system.I’ve also added a third, the Bayou Championship’s #11. It’s a littledifferent because it included an Incentive payoff both years butregardless, the Roper’s Pot still showed an increase of 8.8% withonly a two-team differential. So, I think I can safely say that

Roper’s Pot gains in the 8 to 9 percent range are going tocontinue to be typical. The fact that USTRC is providing andguaranteeing one million dollars at the Cinch National Finalsmeans winners at sanctioned events are going to earn moremoney, plain and simple. And the huge pots at the Finals willnot be diminished.

These examples show you in black and white, that this newUSTRC approach means more dollars in your pocket. Thenumbers here are pretty exciting. The end result is astraightforward and uncomplicated refiguring of the greateramount of dollars winning ropers are going to be paid. TheRevolution continues.

* The actual number of teams that roped and the number ofteams that pay entry fees to determine a roping’s gross can bedifferent, particularly in the #8 Pick/Draw option. Because somedraw partners can choose NOT to pay for their run (see “Draw-In Option” in the section “2012 Formats” at the back of thismagazine), they do not contribute to the roping gross but theyare part of a team that ropes. The actual number of teams thatroped is used to determine the number of places paid for payoutpurposes. See Section 7 of the USTRC Rulebook.

#12 Gold Plus (with #10 Inc.)Specialty #10 Gold Plus is Here to Stay!

eginning in April of 2012, USTRC scheduled a #10Gold Plus Specialty roping at a handful of events

in Texas and New Mexico as part of a pilot program tosee how much demand there was for a lowernumbered Gold Plus roping. Before the first Specialtyroping even took place, word had spread amongproducers and the pilot program grew from 10 eventsto about 25 events from Utah to Louisiana. Betweenthe Elite #5 cap and the 25 and older age limit, theSpecialty roping became a favorite among ropers withthe majority of the #10 Gold Plus ropings being largerthan the #12 Gold Plus division. The support for the#10 was so strong that USTRC made the decision toinclude a #10 Gold Plus with a #9 Incentive at allUSTRC sanctioned events in 2013 in addition to theexisting #12 Gold Plus with a #10 Incentive. While adding this highly anticipated division into

every sanctioned event is a great idea, it poses achallenge as some events already run on a tight timeschedule and adding another division could add strainon an already full day. To help address this issue,producers will have the following options:

• Choose to start at 8 a.m. or 9 a.m. on Sundays.• Choose to enter 2 times or 3 times• Choose entry fees of $100 per man or $150 per man

Depending on the event’s format and historicalteam counts, producers have the above options tomake this transition as smooth as possible. Inaddition, the #10 Gold Plus will still be capped at anElite #5 and ropers must be 25 years of age or older theday of the roping. Just like the #12 Gold Plus, the #10Gold Plus will also offer a Century Bonus side pot inwhich both ropers on a team must be 50 years of ageor older to enter. The entry fee for the Century Bonusis $50 per man and 100% of that entry fee is paid backto the Century Bonus winners. 1st through 3rd place inthe #10 Gold Plus Average and 1st through 3rd place inthe Incentive Average will receive $3,000 USTRC Flex

I am happy with the progressof the Gold Plus program as there are more Gold Plus membersnow than when I started in April of 2010. Adding $194,600 tothe roper’s pot in the Gold Plus division at the 2011 and 2012Regional Finals and the addition of the #10 Gold Plus PilotProgram this year are two reasons for the growth and I see thegrowth continuing into 2013 since the #10 Gold Plus will beavailable at all Sanctioned events.

USTRC Formats in 2013

What’s New?

Insider

by Ben Clements

s you read this the CinchUSTRC National Finals of

Team Roping will be well underway.Many team ropers will have earned lifechanging amounts of money andunbelievable prizes. The USTRC, however,has been in the planning mode and will makesome additions and revisions to its Formatsfor the new season. Here’s a brief summary bydivision of what to expect in 2013 followed bythe complete format details.

Once again the Open Division will be anoptional roping for producers. That meansthey can choose to have it or not. The ropingwill have two options, with one being apick/draw. Open ropers will still have theopportunity to compete in the Priefert USOpen Tour race to vie for their share of the$30,000 year-end bonus money, however,qualification to the US Open Championshipswill only require participation at one USTRCSanctioned or special Affiliate event.

The #15 and #13 Divisions will again behandicap ropings, but will be determined ona four-steer average. The seconds will betaken off after the third steer. In the #15Division a #14 team will receive a 1.5 secondhandicap and a #13 and below team willreceive a 3 second handicap. In the #13Division a #12 team will receive a 1.5 secondhandicap and a #11 and below team willreceive a 3 second handicap.

The #12, #12 Gold Plus, #11, #10 and #9Divisions will all stay the same for 2013. Theywill haveIncentives within them and be foursteer averages with the Incentive Averagebeing determined on three steers. The #10Division will be capped at an Elite #6 and the#9 Division will be capped at an Elite #5. AllDivisions will take the top 20 teams to theshort round, with the exception of the #9

Division, where 30 teams will advance to theshort round.

This year there will be a #10 Gold Plus(capped at an Elite #5) Division added toevery Sanctioned event. This roping will beopen to Gold Plus members age 25 and olderand will feature three different format optionsto be chosen by the producer. Option 1 willhave $150 entry fees and ropers may entertwo times. Option 2 will feature $100 entryfees and ropers may enter two times. Option3 will have $100 entry fees, but ropers will beallowed to enter three times. Again, eachproducer will choose the format that best fitstheir Sunday schedule. Producers of eventswith a history of having large team counts inthe #9 and #8 divisions will likely opt for an8:00 a.m. start, enter twice format at $150 perroper in order to better manage Sunday’salready busy schedule. All options will be foursteer averages and there will be a #9 Incentivedetermined after three steers. This roping willbe a great addition to the 2013 formats.

The #8 Pick/Draw will remain the same,with two options for the producer to choosefrom. Option 1 will have $180 entry fees andwill allow ropers to enter one time with apartner and then draw two more or the ropermay draw all three runs. In Option 2 the entryfees are $120 per roper and the entry will beenter one time and draw one or draw two. Inthe #8 in both options the roping will becapped at a #4 and they will be three steeraverages. Note: with the addition of the #10Gold Plus roping on Sundays, ropers shouldexpect producers to more often choose the #8Pick/Draw Option 2.

The complete 2013 Format details can beviewed on pages 196 through 199 of thisissue. We certainly appreciate the input fromyou the roper and our producers to continueto further the sport of team roping. Enjoy agreat 2013 season and best of luck to all.

think if I was 12 or 13 years old, it would be pretty neat to have someone like Tee Woolman teach me to rope and show me the basics that he used to catch

probably over a million sets of horns. I’ve beennoticing a trend that some ropers are adopting, and some olderropers who are #4 or #5 headers are trying to mimic. Some of the pros are using a style that I believe is not a greatfoundation style.

What these headers are trying to do is get the head loop to hittight on the head on contact. A lot of emphasis is put on jerkingthe slack quickly, and this takes away from the idea that gettingthe rope to go on is the most important part of the run. Whenyou adapt this quick tight loop, the time you save is probably atenth of a second; but the price you pay is many more half heador split horn catches and more wave-offs. You pretty much

eliminate the “follow through” on thehead loop.

I called Tee the other day and he toldme he was taught as a kid to find a spotand a swing that he could go to everytime. From that position and with thatswing he would be guaranteed a catch.Tee Woolman hasn’t missed over two in arow in the practice pen since he was 13years old. Think of the thousands ofsteers he has roped in a row withoutmissing. When I roped with Tee,sometimes his curl snapped the back ofthe head so hard it would sound like youhit the steer in the head with a rock. Ibelieve some of the young ropers aremissing out on part of their foundationthat will give them longevity in the sport and help them win some big-money ropings.

Look at the BFI, where there are very

24 / NOVEMBER 2012

with Rickey Greenfew times coming back in the short go. You might say that’sbecause it has gotten so fast. But in reality, to me thehorsemanship of the headers and the horses themselvesdon’t have a form that helps them rope in long averages.This is why you see certain ropers dominate these longaverages. Clay Tryan has won the BFI three times, Salinasfive times, and he will win both of these ropings again. Well,you might say, some guys have a rodeo style, some have ajackpot style, and then there are those guys who can doboth. If you’re a jackpot roper, I would suggest a style that isheavy on catch: see the head loop go on, let the curldevelop around under the left horn and then pull the slack.This kind of catch style encourages you to keep your horsemoving forward as you finish the catch and then move ontothe handle.

The snap tight head loop is not, in my opinion, for theweekend roper. It is for the pro who has to be three or four,every run. A word of advice to the pro header who has to bethree or four every run; don’t make this loop yourfoundation style. Every header should know how to ropedirty head duckers and big horns. Every pro header shouldhave a spot that they can run to, that they can catch from100% every time.

Young headers should start with the 100% catch positionand master the move before they move on to the snap tightloop. The young headers who I see using the snap tight loopfirst, end up blowing up in the long average runs becausethis style doesn’t help their horsemanship skills. When therope comes tight and they focus on the tight fit loop, theyusually leave the corner too early and too fast. It seems likeit throws them out of sync with the head horse. You shouldfirst build a rhythm of delivery, then slack, and then handle.I’m not saying that a pro can’t use this loop and handlecattle, I’m saying a young roper or a weekend warriordoesn’t have the hours of horsemanship and rope handlingskills to make this loop work for them with any consistency.If you’re not at least a #7 header, I suggest that you stick tothe basics: score good, ride your horse well, find a swingand spot that you can catch them all from, and handlegood. When you can do that consistently, you can start topractice that snap tight loop.

If you can’t do these things, you might think aboutcoming to my school, or go see Tee Woolman or join mywebsite. You have the ability, you just need a little help. Weall need a coach, whether we realize it or not.

Your friend,Rickey Green

26 / NOVEMBER 2012

Some horses develop skin tumors called sarcoids.Christine Rees, DVM, (veterinary dermatologist inSan Antonio, Texas) says various lumps and bumps

are often seen on horses, and may need to be properlydiagnosed by a veterinarian. Sarcoids are probably the most common equine skin tumor, she says, but they are nota true cancer because they do not travel to other parts of thebody. Like cancer, however, they continue to grow andspread locally.

There are several types of sarcoid. Some look like wartypatches of skin, others are hair-covered lumps, and othersappear as ulcerated tumors that weep and bleed, protrudingfrom the skin’s surface. Some types of sarcoid developfollowing a wound; the tumor starts out looking like proudflesh, but continues to grow.

These growths may be triggered by a virus. The tumoroften consists of raw, granulating tissue that may appearmushroom-shaped, since the base of attachment is usuallysmaller than the mass of tissue. If the tumor starts in awound, the virus attacks the young fibrous cells in proudflesh and causes them to multiply at a very fast rate. Ifsurgically removed, the growthusually comes back. It cannot becontrolled by the usualmedications that control proud flesh.

“There is also a scaly type ofsarcoid that looks like ringworm.If you biopsy the lesion, thissarcoid will actually get a lotworse,” says Rees. “You couldrule out ringworm with a fungalculture, to figure out whetheryou want to treat these growthsor not. All the ones I’ve seen ofthis type have been localized; Idon’t recall seeing any inmultiple areas on a horse.Ringworm, by contrast, mayappear in several spots.” This factor might help in the diagnosis.

Sarcoids can present in several different ways. “One typelooks flat and scaly (the occult or flat type that is circular andoften confused with ringworm), one looks nodular (raisedabove the skin, and firm, looking like a tumor—usually 5 to20 millimeters in diameter), and another kind resemblesulcerated, proliferative tissue. That one is called afibroblastic sarcoid. There’s also another type that lookswarty (a verrucous type of sarcoid),” explains Rees.

“There is also a new classification: the malevolent one,which usually has multiple nodules on it and is very hardand thickened. Some of those can infiltrate the lymph nodesand produce cord-type lesions, spreading a little,” she says.

Most sarcoid tumors are moderately malignant in that

they usually grow back if removed, often in larger form. They may grow to thesize and shape of a cauliflower or larger. They may appear anywhere on thehorse’s body, but often on the head or neck, ears, eyelids, around the mouth, oron the prepuce or sheath of a male horse. The growths may appear singly or ingroups, and often look like large, flat, gray warts.

TREATMENTSTraditional treatments for sarcoid include surgical removal with

cauterization to control bleeding and to kill any stray tumor cells that mightnot have been removed. Radiation is often used as follow-up. Freezing thegrowths has also been done, along with topical cancer medications. “Cancervaccines” have also been used. One product called Ribigen was approved in1983 for use in horses and cattle—a preparation injected directly into thetumor. The injection causes tumor particles to be released into the horse’sbody, which then responds by creating antibodies to fight the tumor. Once thebody recognizes the tumor particles as foreign invaders, the immune systemgears up to fight them, and the tumor then shrinks and hopefully disappears.These methods (surgical removal, freezing, immunotherapy with vaccines)have varying rates of success, however, and haven’t worked in all cases.

“The big problem with sarcoids is that when you surgically remove them,they tend to recur,” says Rees. The horse owner needs to be aware of thispossibility. The growth may appear somewhere else on the body later on.

“Some people believe that certain horses are more predisposed to gettingsarcoid. Surgery is probablyone of the more commontreatments. The veterinarianmay use cryotherapy first,which involves freezing thetissue, to debulk it—which iswhat would usually be donein a human. For fibroblasticsarcoids this is often the

treatment of choice,” she says.For sarcoid lesions around

the eyes, many veterinariansrecommend surgicallydebulking the skin lesion andfollowing up with an injectionof BCG vaccine. This vaccine,however, produces a lot ofinflammation. “The sarcoidbecomes ulcerated and then

falls off. Because of swelling andinflammation, the horse is usually puton drugs to help control thatsecondary inflammation. The vet willdecide what’s best to use in each case,” says Rees.

Radiation therapy is used on some sarcoids. This mode of treatment ismore successful for smaller sarcoids that are more superficial and do notpenetrate deeper layers of skin. Chemotherapy has also been useful in treatingequine sarcoid. “The drug that’s been reported to have the most success iscalled platinol or cisp-platinum in oil, but requires special handling, so not allveterinarians use it. You need to wear gloves, protective clothing and usespecial disposal. It also requires repeat injections of the area, using a specialneedle system. According to some reports, this treatment can be up to 100percent effective. This drug should not be used in breeding animals, however,or any horses with impaired kidney function,” she says.

Treatment for EquineSarcoid TumorsBy Heather Smith Thomas

He had a big sarcoid on his leg—one of the worst we’ve seen, andthis treatment took it off. After we used it on my horse, Dr. Vlahostold me I should market it,” says Kekich.Many veterinarians have now tried it, and feel it’s the best

treatment on the market. Dr. J. D. Norris (Veterinary Services,Sulphur Springs, Texas) treated a horse that had advanced squamouscell carcinoma on his left eye and a sarcoid tumor on his right leg.“We’d been treating this horse for more than a year with surgery,ozone therapy and cautery, without success,” said Norris.“My veterinary technician was told about Sarco-41 and asked if

we could try it on this horse. Sarco-41 salve was applied daily,beginning on October 18, 2009,” he said. Dr. Norris and his staffwitnessed good results; the cancerous tumors at the base of the eyedisappeared. Their focus then turned to the large tumor at the top ofthe eyebrow, and it dried up and fell off by December. Norris nowrecommends the product for sarcoid tumors and early detectedsquamous cell carcinomas.Dr. Paul Wollenman (Palm Beach Equine Clinic) has also had

great success with this remedy. He stated that this formulation issuperior to other topical herbal sarcoid preparations. “The texture ofthe paste and its skin adherence properties make it by far the bestavailable product on the market today. While being completely safeto adjacent, delicate tissue, it is extremely toxic only to rapidly-growing sarcoid tissue. It is a simple, safe, economical and effectiveformulation to treat difficult, frustrating skin tumors in horses,”stated Dr. Wollenman.Kekich says there are other herbal products available but they’re

not as beneficial. “One of them for instance, is very runny anddifficult to administer and keep on. Most of the vets who use it don’tlike to handle it because it contains silver nitrate, which causeshorses to break out with a nasty rash. It does some good, but manyhorses develop skin sensitivity, and then you have to treat thatproblem. It seems to help the tumors but doesn’t take them offcompletely and they come back again.”The basic ingredient in Kekich’s product is blood-root—a certain

type that grows in mountainous terrain in North America. “It hasdefinite adverse affects on cancer cells,” he says. This particular remedy has been around for generations. “The

family I got the formula from lives in Hudson, Wyoming. Two of thebrothers, Howard and Mickey McQuarry, started using it to treatsquamous cell carcinomas in cattle (cancer eye). Some years back, Iwent to their place and watched them treating cattle. They gave mea small bottle of this herbal remedy—about 2 ounces. I used it on ahorse that had proud flesh and it took off the proud flesh. I had acalf with pinkeye in both eyes, and the eyes were blind, with bulgingulcers. I put that remedy in his eyes, and he healed up. I have used this in many ways, and it is phenomenal how well it works,”Kekich says.“Howard and Mickey died and I got the formula from Howard’s

daughter. I had it for many years and used it for myself, my horsesand cattle. I had some skin cancers on the tops of my ears, and usedthis to remove them. I just put a little bit on every day. I had friendswho used it on their skin cancers or moles,” he says.Today, Kekich’s herbal product for sarcoids is marketed in 60

countries. He says the important thing is to be diligent when usingit, until the tumor is completely gone. “The good thing about it isthat it has never harmed healthy tissue,” says Kekich. “If you get it inthe horse’s eye it won’t hurt it. This works so well that I can’t keep it asecret. We want horsemen to be able to benefit from it.”For more information, check the website

www.41labs.com or call 307-674-6508


Some sarcoids can be taken off, either with cryotherapy or surgery(and they may or may not reappear somewhere else) but the flat onesoften become more angry and worse after being removed or treated,she says. Another treatment that has had some success is a drug called

Imiquimod, which comes in a cream called Aldara. The tumor shouldbe cleaned thoroughly before applying the cream. It should beapplied 2 or 3 times a week. This drug has antiviral and antitumoreffects, but produces a local inflammatory response, and the tumorlooks worse for a while—with more redness, swelling, oozing andpain—before it starts shrinking. This drug works by stimulating thebody’s immune defenses, through the introduction of inflammatorymediators. It may take 2 to 4 months, however, before the tumordecreases in size. Some horses resist having tumors cleaned andtreated, especially if the tumor is located in sensitive areas of the body.Another relatively new treatment has shown a lot of promise,

using an old herbal remedy. R. G. Kekich, a horseman/rancher whocreated 41 Laboratories, LLC (Sheridan, Wyoming), is now marketingthis product. “I’ve had horses and cattle my whole life but I neverknew what a sarcoid was, until my rope horse developed a small black bubble about the size of a pea, in the corner of his eye. He’s adark horse, with a freeze brand number 41, and that’s what I namedhim when I got him. I named my product after this horse,” explains Kekich.“I brought the horse to a vet, Dr. Ray Smith. He looked at the horse

and thought it was a melanoma. Dr. Smith was semi-retired, and toldme to take the horse to Dr. Ted Vlahos at Sheridan Equine Clinic. Thiswas several years ago,” says Kekich.“Dr. Vlahos told me it was a sarcoid, and easier to treat than

melanoma. He suggested chemotherapy and immunotherapy shotsand said the horse would need a shot every 2 weeks. Dr. Vlahosstarted giving the horse this regimen of shots and we got up to the 8thweek and sarcoid blew up and looked awful.” This horse was only 5 years old, with a lot of potential, and Kekich

hated to lose him. “Dr. Vlahos said we could take the horse to the vetcollege in Fort Collins (Colorado State University) to remove the tumorsurgically, but told me there was no guarantee it would save the eye.So I decided to treat him with an old herbal remedy.”Kekich was already using this on other medical problems. “It’s an

old remedy called Compound X, and a lot of people have used it onthemselves. I made up a big batch and Dr. Vlahos and I startedputting it on the tumor every day. Dr. Vlahos was amazed at theresults. The tumor started shrinking and drying up, and within 31days it was gone. That horse is as normal today as he was when hewas born.”Later, after Kekich decided to market the herbal product, calling it

Sarco-41, Dr. Vlahos wrote a letter of endorsement. He stated that he’dbeen treating a very invasive periocular sarcoid with four regimens ofcombination chemotherapy and immunotherapy, with disappointingresults. “My very frustrated client asked me to consider treating thehorse with Sarco-41. I was very skeptical of most topical herbaltherapies for equine sarcoid tumors. Watching this invasive massdisappear from my patient over a few short weeks changed myopinion. The tumor completely disappeared without adverse effects. I now include Sarco-41 as a treatment option for tumors not amenable to surgery, and where conventional therapies have failed,”wrote Vlahos.For this to work, Kekich says you have to be diligent, and very

dedicated to removing the tumor. “If you don’t put the treatment on itevery day until the tumor is gone, it won’t work,” he says.“In one instance, we used it on a 14-month-old colt for 8 weeks.

28 / NOVEMBER 2012

If you take a deep breath you can almost smell thedesert air. You can feel it deep in your soul. Located inthe beautiful Sonoran Desert, Scottsdale, Arizona is

bordered by Phoenix to the west and the McDowellMountains on the east. It is a city laced with a small townWestern heritage. It is also a city that will reach out and takehold of you. It refuses to let you go without becoming a littlebit of who you are.

Scottsdale’s vibrant downtown is considered the finesturban center in Arizona. It is home to more than 90restaurants, 320 retail shops and more than 80 art galleries. Itis this atmosphere that will reach out and welcome USTRCteam ropers to the Lasso Del Sol the weekend of December29th through the 31st.

Scottsdale’s favorable climate, irrigated desert locationand beautiful scenery influenced its initial settlement. Whileagriculture was the main draw, many health seekers came toScottsdale. Many of the community’s original settlers, wererecruited from the East and Midwest, were educated and hadan appreciation for cultural activities. Scottsdale made themall feel welcome and the attachment was mutual.

In its early years, the area also saw the development ofranching operations that later inspired the “West’s MostWestern Town” moniker. One of Scottsdale’s most prominentbusinessmen began investing in land north of thecommunity in 1916, establishing a cattle ranch thateventually covered 44,000 acres. DC Ranch continued tooperate – complete with cowboys and cattle drives – throughthe 1950s. It is this historical connection that makesScottsdale a natural draw for ropers, cowboys and thoselovers of equine events.

Scottsdale’s McDowell Sonoran Preserve is like no otherplace in the Valley. Located in the city’s northern reaches,McDowell Sonoran Preserve is the largest urban wildernessarea in the United States. It is unique geologically and hometo stunning geography, lush cacti forests and diverse wildlifeand features more than 60 miles of award-winning trails and facilities.

When the roping finishes up take the time to explore thePreserve, stretched across 21,400 scenic acres of Scottsdale.The Preserve encompasses the McDowell Mountains, whererecent discoveries are causing geologists to rethink how thisregion formed and evolved. New trails and amenities arebringing Scottsdale’s “mountains of discovery” closer toresidents and visitors.

That is only the beginning of things to see and do duringyour weekend at the Lasso Del Sol. Historic downtown offersa unique look at the old coupled with the new. Good food,entertainment and things to see and do welcome any visitorto a city of new experiences.

Scottsdale is a city of passion. It doesn’t matter if it is teamroping, exploring, history or the beautiful land the area is theperfect place to wind up and end the year. Team roping at itsbest with the Lasso Del Sol will enhance all Scottsdale has tooffer. Plan on marking your calendar for this event. It will bea great way to wrap up the year. n

Allen originally built “Pipes” to help himdemonstrate technique at a roping camp. Hedidn’t make it home with the contraptionbecause someone wanted it so badly.

The Pipes are now available to the public.They’re more durable than wood, withrealistic legs that are color-coded by targetand can be adjusted to different heights.Plus, the Pipes weigh just 40 pounds and cango in the back of the truck with you.

MADE EXCLUSIVELY BY

Zoombang™ is scientifically tested and proven to protect against impact injury. Zoombang is a patented polymer material that provides truly intelligent protection. At rest, Zoombang acts as a liquid to assure perfect fit and malleability. But on impact it immediately transforms to a solid state, reacting proportionally to the energy applied. As a result, Zoombang only becomes as rigid as necessary to absorb and dissipate incoming shock.

Zoombang is widely used for its protection against injury in contact sports, law enforcement, and military applications. The NFL, NHL, MLB and NASCAR rely on Zoombang to protect elite athletes. Now equine athletes can benefit from the same protection. After all, they deserve it. FIND OUT MORE AT WWW.EQUIBRAND.COM

Twister Trailer, based in Fort Scott, Kansas, isproud to be the official sponsor of the USTRCand a supporter of the sport of team roping.

Since 1998, Twister has been focused on buildingpremium trailers for the equine market, as well aslivestock, cargo and specialty trailers with the highestquality materials, craftsmanship and attention to detailthat is unprecedented in the industry.

The trailer designers at Twister are horsementhemselves, and they enjoy working with customers tosolve any special hauling need, including stagecoachtrailers, different loading layouts, and even pigeontrailers! Besides designing unique trailers, Twister isknown for offering the most custom options to trulybuild a client’s dream trailer. Tuf Cooper, WorldChampion Tie-Down roper, says, “Twister has reallygone above and beyond in designing trailers withspecial features. They really build the most comfortableand safe trailer on the market. If my horses are happy,I’m happy.”

The premium horse trailers manufactured byTwister are built with the highest quality materials,and many of the components are created in-house,which allows for quality control and the ability toadjust based on each trailer design. The floors arethe thickest in the industry, and the walls have asmooth appearance due to our uniquemanufacturing processes. Also, built with heavierweight aluminum, stronger wall bracing and weldsthan in most competitor trailers, Twisters are knownfor being low maintenance and holding up for a longtime, even with heavy use. This quality makesTwisters sought after on the resale market, holdingthe value of your investment.

Top competitors know the key to winning at high-end events is a horse that safely gets to itsdestination rested, relaxed and ready to compete. Byworking with trainers and horsemen who haulthousands of miles a year, Twister has honed in onmaking a trailer comfortable and convenient for theowner as well as the horses. Twister trailers have thereputation of being the smoothest hauling trailers onthe road. Craig Cameron, a natural horsemanshipclinician, hauls his Twister trailer 40 weeks out of theyear. He says, “My horses have never hauled betterthan after I got a Twister. This trailer is just theeasiest pulling trailer I’ve ever had and you notice adifference in the horses arriving fresh and ready to work.”

In addition to making the trailer comfortable forthe horse, many distinct features on a Twister traileroffer convenience for the owner. The unique dropdown door latches offer a one touch opening that iseasily reached, even by a shorter person, and ourdivider latches are operated with little effort, evenfor a small child. Patrick Smith, World Championheeler, says, “I’ve had a Twister for over four yearsnow, and I believe they are the most reliable trailerI’ve ever pulled. That means a lot when you’re on theroad as much as I am.”

In 2012, Twister launched the Select Series trailer.In order to serve a customer who is not in themarket for a custom trailer, the Select Series trailercombines the most requested features in a package,giving customers a great value on a premium Twistertrailer. The Select Series trailers are offered in threeor four horse versions, regular or reverse load, with a10 foot short wall living quarters.

ecently, I was working a charity auction when I asked a novice

bidder if he wanted to bid again. He wastrying to give me some sort of sign but Ihad no idea what he meant. Was hethrough bidding, did he want to cut thebid in half, or was he trying to tell me togo kill myself by slashing my throat? That’swhen it dawned on me: we speak differentlanguages with our hands and need auniversal system of gestures.

It’s gotten out of hand. (Pun intended.)I was watching a football game when thereferee made a holding call by grabbinghis wrist and making a fist. I’ve seen thesame sign used by a road-rage victimindicating he was going to knock my blockoff and, I swear, it’s exactly the same signmy wife made when I accidentallyvaccinated her in the wrist with 5-wayvaccine. She held it against me for yearsbut it must have worked because, to the

best of my knowledge, she has nevercontracted leptospirosis or vibriosis. Andyou can hardly see the scar if she wearslong sleeves.

I’ve seen rodeo cowboys point and lookskyward just before they settle in on 2,000pounds of trouble. It’s as if the cowboy isasking God if he has a vacancy for onemore. It’s also the same sign my motherused to make when she’d shake her fingerat me right before swatting me with ayardstick, but it’s also the gesture anobserver might make if a grand piano wasfalling from the sky and was aimed rightfor you. It’s at times like these when handsignals need to be universally understood.

Another common sign is the onebaseball umpires make when they callsomeone “OUT!” It’s the same sign we’dmake in the oilfields when we wanted thecrane or A-frame operator to raisewhatever it was he was tied on to. We’ve all

seen exactly the same sign being used by ahitchhiker alongside the road, or by a bigbiker in a bar who is telling you in his ownunique style, “Let’s go outside and settlethis man to man.”

In the NFL if the referee turns his arm in a circular motion parallel to his body it means to start the clock, and to anoperating engineer it means start themachine. I used the same sign once when I tried to get some feeling back in myhand after my wife started pounding thepost pounder before I’d completelyremoved my hand. She says it was an“accident” but I think it was just paybackfor the 5-way incident.

Then there is the gesture wherefishermen hold their hands far apart to lieabout how big the fish was they caught.Football referees make the same sign toshow how much yardage is needed for afirst down and I once used the same sign toshow a Texas truck driver how far back heneeded to go until he nestled gently upagainst my loading chute that was onlystaying together because the termites wereholding hands. I moved my hands closerand closer together and then I clapped realhard for emphasis right before he backedright over the loading chute.

Believe me, I gave that trucker a sign he understood!

If you ever have the need to tell a craneoperator to raise the “headache ball” justmake a circular motion in the air with yourhand at head level. The problem is cowboysdon’t speak the language of operatingengineers. I made this proper sign one timeto a fellow cowboy when a horse fell on topof me and pinned my leg in a figure eight.But when I made the circular sign to thecowboy indicating he should “Raise thehorse I think my leg is broken,” he thoughtit meant “let’s rope” so he went back to thebarn to get his roping glove and good horsewithout ever lending an assist.

The point I’m trying to make is that weneed some sort of a uniform system ofsigns that we all can understa.... Oop’s, I’msorry but I must interrupt our little chatbecause my wife is making some sort ofirritated gesture at me. I think it’s either the“gather up and let’s go shopping” sign, or,“You left the toilet seat up again.” Eitherway my goose is cooked.

board of directors, is in line for anindustry association presidency, servesas deacon in his church, is on the schoolboard in his district, and alwaysfurnishes the beef for the Chamber ofCommerce Ag Day barbecue. He’s abusy man.

I casually asked him what he’d beendoin’. He told me. He’d left the house atseven that morning a’ horseback withhis teenage son to find a cow-calf pairthat had been spotted the day before.The calf didn’t look good, was the report.After an hour of riding they found thecow. She was limping and the calf wasshrunk-up. On closer inspection theycould see a tangled piece of bob-wirethat had snagged a hind leg and dug in.It had also blocked the calf’s access tothe udder. It took another 30 minutes tohead and heel the cow. The wire

interfered with a clean heel catch so itwasn’t easy. They finally managed to geta rope around one hind foot and put herdown. They switched the head rope tothe front feet and stretched her out.

It was getting hotter; both men hadbroke into a sweat. With deerskin glovesand fencing pliers from the saddlebagthey cut the wire loose, a wrap at a time.The calf was weak enough they couldcatch him, but couldn’t get him to nursefrom the trussed-up cow. It took anotherhour to trail the cow back to the homeplace while father and son carried the calfover the pommel, trading occasionally.

Most good livestock people know howthat feels. It’s work, it’s hard, and youhave to know what you’re doing. But fora period of two to three hours, this man,who is in demand by kings and pawnsalike, was completely absorbed in hisresponsibility as shepherd for one of his flock.

That speaks to the heart of those of usin his shoes. It also demonstrates theprofound difference between us and therace car driver who wrecks his car, acomputer programmer whose powergoes out, or a cook who drops the toaston the floor. They can just walk away; geta new one; reboot, or wipe it off on theirpant leg. But that stranded cow, on thatlucky day, belonged to a cowman who,regardless of all the burdens of success hebears, knows his priorities. He carriesthem deep. They are part of his marrow.

As the poet once said, “you can’t justquit a cow, sometimes you’re all she’s got.No reinforcements in the hall, no 9-1-1 tohear her call, just you… nobody else,that’s all, to get her through the spot.”

That’s us.

Keeping Our Priorities Straight

I


’ve had occasion to rub shoulderswith influential people in the cattlebusiness at all levels. I see them at

state cattlemen’s meetings, or serving onthe Beef Board, at bull sales, givingspeeches, expounding on political,economic or international subjects ANDpeople are listening to them! They maybe elected by their peers, sought afterfor fiscal contributions, knowledge orheritage, or honored for their service tothe industry. Their opinion matters.

I have watched these influential menand women operate. They makedecisions that ripple through ourindustry and affect many thousands ofus. And yet, if they are cowmen, whenthey saddle a horse or climb on the four-wheeler, they revert to their basic calling.

indelible marks that the sport of rodeoleaves as its legacy when someday folksfind cancer to be no more of a threatthan the common cold.

Pretty cool when you think aboutthe fact that a bunch of so-called self-absorbed, macho-type adrenalinejunkies, wearing hats, chaps, boots andspurs cared enough about their moms,wives, sisters and daughters to bring asomewhat taboo social stigmafeminine medical condition out intothe open by talking about breasts,breast cancer and breast cancerawareness in their workplace. Heck,they even cared enough to actuallychange the official color of rodeo fromtraditional cowboy blue denim into ofall things PINK!

Breast Cancer Awareness Month

By the time most of you arereading this month’s rendition

of The Sports Medicine Stable anannual event known as NationalBreast Cancer Awareness Month willonce again be a thing of the past.Although some other professionalsports would beg to differ, I believethat the concept of “Breast CancerAwareness” got its start in the mostunlikely of places, the sport ofProfessional Rodeo. From the NationalFootball League (NFL), to MajorLeague Baseball (MLB), to the NCAA,heck, even down to my buddy’s littlegirl’s six and under soccer league,everyone has joined in on the breastcancer awareness theme. It hasbecome not only a part of our culture,but of our sporting culture as well. Ialso believe it will be one of the

maybe Bobby “T” and a little rodeo.Today they are two of the greatestambassadors and advocates forwomen’s health in any professionalarena. It used to be that the fansstood and cheered for the WorldChampions in the arenas across thecountry and now you see Trevor,Sherry and other World Championsstanding in the arenas and cheeringfor mothers, wives, sisters anddaughters who have fought andsurvived that terrible disease.

Millions of dollars have beenraised in support of and to increaseawareness, fund research and assistin the treatment of breast cancer.From large corporate donations, toannual golf tournaments, chili cook-offs, car washes and even teamropings, to those few pennies from ayoung child’s pocket, it has come inall shapes, sizes and amounts.Although money is a huge part of theequation for finding a cure, the realstrength of this breast cancerinitiative lies in the commitment andresolve of those of us who have seenfirst hand how horrible this diseasereally is and the threat it is to thosewe love so dearly. If you think aboutit, no matter who you are, we all havea mother and I guess that’s one of thereasons that we all have that soft spotin out hearts when it comes to theladies in our lives.

So, as usual, I guess you arewondering where all of this is actuallygoing. If National Breast CancerAwareness Month is drawing to a closethen why in the world didn’t I writeabout it last month? Very simply put…Breast cancer is not just a one monthout of the year disease. Just becausesome of the Dallas Cowboys decided towear pink in October doesn’t mean thatcome November our moms, sisters,wives and daughters are somehowimmune to the perils of this horribledisease. No, the fact that Octobersomehow became the month chosenby the NFL and other organizations torecognize and publicize breast canceris no different than February hosting St.Valentine’s Day. (On a side note Ialways thought that February wouldhave been a much better month forbreast cancer awareness). Anyhow, thereal focus should be on the fact that

thank goodness our society has finallyprogressed to the point where we canactually talk about women’s breasts in awholesome and genuine way.

As you have heard me say manytimes over in these monthlyinstallments, I in fact live in a housefull of women. I was not only blessedwith a wonderful mother and a veryspecial sister growing up, I wasequally blessed to find a beautifulwife who gave me two lovingdaughters to nurture and raise, and toprotect as well. I guess that is why Ihave no reservation wearing my“Keep Boobies Safe,” “I Wear Pink SoMy Women Don’t Have To,” and myall time favorite one, “Yeah, They’reFake… Her Real One’s Tried to KillHer” T-Shirts. I have a vested interestin anything and anyone who hasanything to do with breast cancer anytime. That is why I decided to spendthis month’s installment introducingto you, my faithful readers my newestslogan for The Sports MedicineStable. “Good Riddance.”

It is only two simple words in the

English language and I have no illusionsthat would lead me to believe that Ishould ever expect to see them on T-shirts, wrist bands or even billboards. Infact, I can bet you a dime to a dollar thatthe only place you will ever see them iswithin the confines of this little monthlyinstallment. The simplicity of thewording is surpassed only by thesimplicity of the message. Very simplyput anytime you read the words, “GoodRiddance” it should remind you toremind those ladies in your life to takecare of themselves specifically in therealm of monthly self-exams. If you areone of those special ladies who take thetime to read my little ditties then may Ibe your impetus as well.

In this world where women spendso much of their time taking care ofothers it is special to them when wetake the time to remind them to dosomething special for themselves. It iswith that in mind that I close my littleaddition to Breast Cancer AwarenessMonth… Good Luck… Good health…Good Roping… Good Riddance!!! &God Bless!!!

o you have kids? Do you ever watch them play or listen to

what they say? As we all know ropingand rodeo kids are a pretty unique littlegroup. It is no doubt they are into thetechnology age and I have seen toddlersmore adept at using a cell phone or Ipodthan I will ever be.

However, setting technology aside,have you ever noticed how rodeo androping kids have a unique knack forentertaining themselves? It just makesme smile. It doesn’t matter how youngor old they are. They are imaginative,creative and ingenious. They have anamazing ability to fantasize.

When we go to a team roping we haula vast menagerie of toys and items usedto entertain the kids. Now Buzzy, he ispretty content as long as he has a ropein hand. He has carried a rope since hewas a toddler. June Bug, on the otherhand, would prefer to lope around thearena and be a horse. She has anuncanny ability to shake her head whereher blond curls look just like a horse’smane. Regardless, if you pair them upBuzzy is the roper and June Bug is hisspirited equine friend.

When you look around the ropingarena and under the grandstands youwill find makeshift, pint size modelhorses, pickup trucks and trailers. I’veeven seen a bucking bull or two andseveral barrel racers. Now dishes anddolls are not quite as popular but they,too, can be found as can other assorteditems like Lego’s and building blocks.

I’ve seen barns made out ofStyrofoam cups and fences made fromPopsicle sticks and toothpicks. There arelittle pickups and trailers and even littlebulldozers and bobcats for diggingditches and making roads.

Thrown amidst all this array of toys isa roping dummy or two and in betweenmaking roads and hauling make believesteers, each kid will take a minute tomake a run on the roping dummy. Moretimes than not you will hear a makebelieve roping among the kids with thenext run being made by some

A Navicular NightmareShortly after purchasing my gelding I had him checked by several vets. We took x-rays and that toldthe story – my gelding’s worst nightmare, navicular! He had multiple holes in both front feet. I triedall 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 HappenFeeling 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 andthe 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 ChanceI 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 ownersold 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 UpToday I have two healthy horses and would like to share with everyone that if it hadn’t been for TLCAnimal 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 pullmyself away from the correct and honest information I get each time from TLC Animal Nutrition.

To place an order, receive a free booklet or learn more about the TLC products, call toll-free today.

and hear.I remember playing in the dirt as a

kid and it was the most fun. I didn’t havea cell phone and wouldn’t have knownwhat to do with it if I‘d had one. Ourkids are diversified. Our kids are smart.Our kids are forgiving and competitiveand my prayer is they will always bestrong and committed to the lifestyle inwhich they have been raised. I wantwhat I had and what they have tocontinue for a long, long time.

I want them to stay strong, creative,and imaginative and never ever forgetthe family that doted on them. It isbecause we are a roping and rodeofamily that I have no doubt or worriesthat our future is in good hands. Ourkids are the best—dirt, mud, toys, ropesand everything else in my trailer, Iwouldn’t trade it for the world.

Keep Ropin!Love Gracie


professional team making their bestshort go round run. Also located in themidst is some little guy calling theaction as each kid makes his imaginaryrun for the gold buckle.

Roping and rodeo kids have greatimaginations and boy do they ever knowhow to play. I catch myself stifling a grinwhen I hear them mimic their parents.I’ve seen them train imaginary horses,struggle with imaginary ropingproblems and each win the imaginaryprize. I’ve seen them fuss, discuss, argueand share. I’ve seen their camaraderie,their compassion and they argue overthe darndest things. Not too unlike theiradult counterparts I might add.

Most of the time if left alone theywork things out and come to anunderstanding. Oh sure, that’s not to saythey don’t get crossways because theydo. Friends one day, enemies the next is not all that unusual but in due timethey seem to work through theirdifferences, forgive and continue to play at some point.

It makes me smile when I see a littlemodel truck and trailer hauling cattleover the road the bobcat built to thearena for the roping made out of rocksand sticks. Not only does the roping orrodeo take place in the dirt but it alsotakes place on the roping dummy.

When it is all said and done I put mykids in the shower in the trailer at nightand wash kids, toys, and little jeans fullof sand and dirt. Kids are the reason wesmile, cry, laugh, scream and holler.They absolutely bring out the best andworst in us as parents.

Hello

eleven, there is no time added. For everynumber over eleven, you add 1.5seconds. For every number undereleven, you subtract 1.5 seconds. Myneighbor said that as a #10 heeler, Icould rope with a #4 header and theywould only add 4.5 seconds at a four-steer jackpot. He thought I would have achance to place because the steersweren’t too fast for my colt. I’m in! Letsgo! And away we went. It was a great roping with over 200

teams that paid eight monies. The firstweek I went, I got wiped out. I didn’trope that great, my colt was kind of lost,and we got beat up pretty bad. Theexciting part was that 40 seconds onfour won eighth place. That was worth$500. I told Edmond we were going backand we’d have a chance to win. We went back the second time and

did better. Edmond was better, I wasbetter. But this is team roping. Mypartners didn’t perform that well. Maybeit was because I had roped so poorly thefirst time that they were disappointed todraw me. I get it. That’s okay becauseEdmond and I were getting better. Theysay the third time is the charm, so wewent back one more time. Remember, I want to say this one

more time, don’t try to find out where Iwent or who I was roping with. It doesn’tmatter. I have made the same mistakesthat I am going to tell you about. We’retalking about learning how to win so wecan all prosper under pressure. A personcan’t make the mistake I’m about tomention if you want to win or learn howto win. I drew a person that you could see

roped well. He was a #4, so we weregoing to get 4.5 seconds added to ourtotal time. We were 6 on our first steerand 7 seconds on our second steer,making us 13 on two. When you add 4.5to that, we were 17.5 on two. We hadmade the stagger up. We were cruising,I’m excited! On the third steer, guesswhat? He broke the barrier and we lost!We had them, all we had to do is make anice smooth run, no mistakes, and wewould win! I did the same thing one time in

California when I was heading for myson. We were at a jackpot and we weretwo seconds in the lead, high team back,and I broke the barrier. My nephew,Daniel Green, was there and he came up

I

to me and said, “What were youthinking?” I said, “My horse took off whenI nodded.” He said, “Then rear him overthe side of the box, but don’t go out thefront! You’re two seconds in the lead andyour partner is roping great. The last thingyou can do is break the barrier!” Helooked at me and said, “Come on, man!”He’s right, and that’s dead on.Back to the roping. Two hundred and

twenty teams and Edmond and I weredoing it. They took 20 teams back to theshort go, and we were two of them. Theroping pays $3,000 to win it, and I’mexcited! We had two shots at them andboth of my headers broke the barrier. No!No! No! Remember what my nephew said,“Rear him over the side, but don’t go outthe front; come on man!” I’ve done thesame thing, but when we get the chancewe have got to come through!The same thing happens all the time in

all walks of life. I was watching the JohnDeere Classic Golf Tournament the otherday on television. The tournament lastedfour days with four rounds of golf. When itcame to the end, two guys were tied. Ingolf, the tie breaker is one hole of suddendeath. Both men hit it down the fairway.One is on the right, one is on the left. Thefirst guy rears back and hits his secondshot right in the water on the side of thegreen. Game over, right? Wrong. Guesswhat the second guy does? Yep, hits hisball right in the water. If I had been hiscaddy, I would have hit him with a golfclub! I would have said, “You didn’t justhit that in the water after you saw theother guy hit his ball in the water; comeon man!”If I was player two, I would ask my

caddy how far the water is. He says, “165yards.” Then I would say, “What club can’tI hit 165 yards?” He would say, “Well boss,you can’t hit the wedge 165 yards.” Myreply, ”Well then, my friend, give me mywedge, let’s lay up. Let’s hit the wedgetwice, one putt, get the trophy and gohome while aqua-man tries to find hisball in the lake over there.”You have to use good judgment in life.

Good judgment comes from experience;experience comes from bad judgment.I’m not admitting to bad judgment, but Ihave had a lot of experience.

Until next month,Thanks for your time.

Walt Woodard

have written about this before, but lately I have seen some things that I

want to talk about from a different angle.People say that after you learn

your trade, then you have to learn howto win. We’ve all heard that, but growingup I didn’t have a clue what it meant. Ithought it was some secret society,where you had to knock on the door five times, then the door would openand the Zen master would give you thekey. After all my time and travels, I nowknow what it means. Simply put, it’sbeing able to use common sense under pressure. When I’m using examples of things

I’ve seen people do, I’m not taking ashot at them in some secret way. I’m notpretending to be better than anyone,because I have done plenty of dumbstuff and continue to do things wrong allthe time. In order to learn how to besuccessful, or learn how to win if youwill, you either have to make mistakes orlearn from other people’s mistakes. Iwould rather learn from other people’smistakes and save the heartache. Keepin mind, I have done everything I’mabout to mention, but it has to stopbecause losing sucks! So, with all thatsaid, here we go.I have a young horse that I really like.

He is a four-year-old named EdmondDantes. Travis Woodard broke him. He’sa little taller than I would like, but he’sreally a nice colt. We ride a lot at home,but eventually you have to take them tojackpots. One of the down sides of beinga high numbered roper is that at anopen jackpot, the steers run too hard fora young horse. You have to rope soaggressively that you run the risk ofblowing his mind.I have a great neighbor who I was

telling about my dilemma. He suggestedthat I take my horse to an 11 slide. SinceI have spent my life in the open division,I didn’t even know what that was. Simplyput, if the team number adds up to
