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.

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.

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.

A new photo spread of mine has been published by The Fence Post magazine and is now online on their website. The photo spread is of the championship round of rodeo at the 2022 National Western Stock Show in Denver, CO (Sunday January 23, 2022). Click on the image to go to the photo spread.

With 5 PRCA World Titles under his belt — (AA, 2019-2021) (BR, 2020) (SB, 2021) — Roughstock cowboy Stetson Wright was introduced to the packed NWSS crowd as the top ranked bull rider coming into the final round. With everyone starting with a clean slate, an 86.5-point ride in the championship round had the big crowd cheering, but it came up short for Wright to earn an NWSS buckle.

I was busy at the 125th Cheyenne Frontier Days in 2021. Although I could only attend for two days, I made the most of them, being able to put together stories about the CFD Museum, the chuckwagon cooking, and the championship round of rodeo.

The Fence Post magazine’s website has published more photography of mine from Cheyenne. Follow the link and take a look!

Utah cowboy Stetson Wright acknowledges the applause of the big crowd as he was awarded the All Around title at the 2021 Cheyenne Frontier Days Rodeo in Cheyenne, WY. Wright become the only roughstock cowboy to earn consecutive CFD All Around buckles since the legendary Jim Shoulders did it way back in 1963-1964.

Photographing and covering the Cheyenne Frontier Days is a great experience. I hope you enjoy the slice of the historic event that my images provide.

Newt Novich Ties Cheyenne Steer Wrestling Record

Montana steer wrestler Newt Novich saved his best effort for last in the championship round of rodeo at the 2021 Cheyenne Frontier Days (CFD) in Cheyenne, Wyoming. With Cheyenne employing the tournament style format since 2019, where the winner of the championship round also wins the CFD title, the final round sees a lot of “go big or go home” efforts from the contestants.

Newt Novich went big.

Montana Steer Wrestler Newt Novich tied a Cheyenne Frontier Days Rodeo arena record with this 5.1-second time in Sunday’s (August 01) championship round to win the steer wrestling buckle and a big check.

Catching up to the steer in just over 2 seconds, Novich completed his effort in a time of 5.1 seconds, which tied the arena record at the historic rodeo.

“This is huge,” said Novich when collecting his trophy buckle and saddle in front of the packed stands. “This is an honor to be a part of it. Man, this couldn’t have worked out any better.”

Asked what he wanted to say to any fellow Montana residents who might be watching the rodeo on television that day, Novich had an enthusiastic answer.

“Hey, just glad to represent you guys in Montana,” he stated with a grin. “We are bringing it back to Montana.”

Go big or go home? Novich was happy to do both, and is carrying a coveted Cheyenne buckle on his return trip to Montana.
