There is no other name more synonymous with the sport of ProRodeo than Trevor Brazile. Winner of a record breaking 26 world champion titles in four separate categories — Team Roping, Tie Down Roping, Steer Roping and All Around — the Texas cowboy seemed to forever be at the top of the game. Inducted into the ProRodeo Hall of Fame on July 16, 2022, I had the opportunity to have a conversation with Trevor behind the scenes before he received his buckle and statue and before he gave his acceptance speech. The Q&A and some photography of mine of Trevor Brazile in action and also at the ProRodeo Hall of Fame induction ceremony have been published by The Fence Post magazine. You can click the link or the image to reach the article with photos. https://www.thefencepost.com/news/brazile-inducted-into-prorodeo-hall-of-fame-in-2022/

Trevor Brazile was 10 years into his incredible rodeo career and already piling up world titles and big wins, including this Tie Down Roping winning effort during the short go of the historic 100th National Western Stock Show in 2006. Image by Lincoln Rogers – All rights reserved.

Colorado Springs Rodeo Strikes Gold

My latest article with photos is published on The Fence Post magazine’s website and will be in their upcoming print edition. It is about the inaugural NFR Open that took place at the 2022 Pikes Peak or Bust Rodeo in Colorado Springs. The renamed “NFR Open powered by RAM” used to be called the RAM National Circuit Finals Rodeo and was help for a number of years down in Kissimmee, FL. Moving the circuit championship rodeo to Colorado brought close to the PRCA headquarters and made it more centrally located for the contestants to access. The high-profile, million dollar rodeo made a smooth transition to the 6,500-seat Norris Penrose Event Center and the long-running Pikes Peak or Bust Rodeo, with all five performances sold out in 2022. You can click the link or the image to get to the story. https://www.thefencepost.com/news/pikes-peak-or-bust-rodeo-strikes-gold-in-2022/

2021 WPRA champion Jordon Briggs (daughter of barrel racing legend Kristie Peterson) and her popular horse “Rollo” blazed the arena for a 17.17-second time in the sudden death Gold Buckle Round of the Pikes Peak or Bust’s NFR Open on Saturday July 16. Although it was the third fastest time of the entire four-day rodeo, Briggs and Rollo placed second behind Cheyenne Allan’s electric 17.04 time in the championship round.

Big Rodeo Under the Bright Lights

I am currently swamped with photos and interviews from covering the 2022 Pikes Peak or Bust Rodeo’s inaugural NFR Open in Colorado Springs, CO (July 13-16). While I hope to be able to come up for air sometime soon, I thought I would at least get out a pic of how nice it was to cover a high profile rodeo under the lights on Saturday night in front of a sold out crowd. The Norris Penrose Arena in Colorado Springs is a gorgeous setting with views of the Rocky Mountains.

The inaugural NFR Open held at the 2022 Pikes Peak or Bust Rodeo in Colorado Springs was a big success in its relocation of the national circuit finals rodeo format from Florida to Colorado. The million dollar rodeo attracted 200 contestants and sold out crowds to the 6,500-seat Norris Penrose Arena for its Wednesday-Saturday run of five rodeo performances, including the high stakes Gold Buckle Round under the lights on Saturday night to determine the winners who would be crowned as circuit national champions.

A new photo spread of mine has been published. The photos are from the final round of rodeo action at the 100th Greeley Stampede. https://www.thefencepost.com/news/championship-rodeo-at-100th-greeley-stampede-is-a-winner/

South Dakota competitor Chance Schott was the only bull rider to make a successful ride in Greeley Stampede’s 2022 short go (June 30). As a result, his electric 88-point ride aboard Beutler and Son Rodeo Company’s “Overpass” earned him $5,000 for the short go and another $3,630 for winning the average at the 100th Greeley Stampede.

I just created and uploaded a recap video of the 2021 Elizabeth Stampede Rodeo in Elizabeth, CO. The short video (just over a minute long) is a compilation of video and photography that I shot over the four days of the rodeo’s run (June 03-06, 2021). It is uploaded on Rumble. Give it a look and let me know what you think! Just click on the following link or the image to go to the video.

It wasn’t just the rodeo cowboys that were the athletes inside the arena at the 2021 Elizabeth Stampede. The bucking stock brought by Summit Pro Rodeo Company, like Lakota Park bucking off Mason Snyder, was also worth the price of admission.

Animal Athletes at the ’22 NWSS Rodeo

I love watching great animal athletes in action, especially horses. The championship round of rodeo at the 2022 National Western Stock Show had the best bucking stock in the sport on hand to compete against the top cowboys. The award winning “Lunatic From Hell” (out of the great “Lunatic Fringe”) showed why he is one of the best bucking horses in the sport as he not only bucked off the cowboy, but also managed to avoid stepping on the competitor while continuing to buck and show off for the big crowd on Sunday January 23, 2022.

The championship round of rodeo at the National Western Stock show also features the best bucking stock in the sport, as Creighton Curley found out the hard way when Burch Rodeo’s award winning Lunatic From Hell sent the cowboy tumbling and then stepped around him while showing off for the big crowd.

Bulls, Barrels, Mutton & Mini’s raise money in Kiowa, CO for the state of Colorado’s fallen first responders and those who have been critically injured

You can read about it in my article with photos on the website of The Fence Post magazine.

https://www.thefencepost.com/news/bulls-barrels-mutton-and-minis-raise-money-in-kiowa-colo/

The 5th annual Responder Relief Rodeo in Kiowa, CO raised money for the Responder Relief Foundation and its mission to provide financial support to families of fallen first responders, as well as provide funds to first responders who have been critically injured.
With eleven stock contractors supplying bulls, there were “forty-some-odd” bulls that were bucked in the 5th annual Responder Relief Rodeo in Kiowa, CO, a rodeo that raises money for the Responder Relief Foundation and its mission to provide financial support to families of fallen first responders, as well as provide funds to first responders who have been critically injured. The popular bull riding, barrel racing, mutton busting, and mini bull riding event drew its largest crowd of 800-1,000 on Saturday night (August 21, 2021), prompting organizers to consider expanding the event to two days in the future.
Happy Flag Day fellow Americans!

Wild Horses at Cheyenne Frontier Days

Keep singing that country music song with me… “Wild horses… keep dragging me away.”

The popular and famous Wild Horse Race (they don’t use actual wild horses anymore) is a tradition on the last day of the world famous Cheyenne Frontier Days in Cheyenne, Wyoming. It is a wild and wooly affair that pits cowboys against horsepower in a battle to saddle an untrained horse, ride it around the large track and cross the finish line first.

In a contest of strength and determination, it is cowboy against horse in the annual Wild Horse Race at the conclusion of the historic Cheyenne Frontier Days in Cheyenne, WY.
In a contest of strength and determination, it is cowboy against horse in the annual Wild Horse Race at the conclusion of the historic Cheyenne Frontier Days in Cheyenne, WY. As seen in this image, the horse usually wins.

The horses are typically unharmed during the event (there are plenty of people on hand to help with that). The same can’t be said about most of the cowboys, though.

I wonder if making the decision to sign up for this event goes something like this: “Hey pard, those guys last year couldn’t get that wild horse saddled.” “Here, hold my beer.”

“Wild horses…. keep dragging me away.”

Happy Flag Day fellow Americans!

Having one of my photos on the cover of a magazine never gets old to me.

The editors make the choice for their covers and I appreciate it when God blesses me as they choose an image of mine. Many thanks to The Fence Post magazine for choosing one of my photos from the Greeley Stampede rodeo action in 2021 to make the cover of the July 5th print edition.
