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.

I’ve been on a a bit of a self-induced content creation blitz the last week or so as the award winning Elizabeth Stampede Rodeo is coming up quick (first weekend of June). This latest video is a fast-paced piece that is a compilation of my photography of that rodeo over the years 2003-2021. It’s been a pleasure to cover that rodeo for publication in numerous magazines over the last couple of decades. Click on the link or the image to go to the video on the Rumble platform.

The Elizabeth Stampede’s Blazing Saddles drill team impressed the crowd with a patriotic routine during Sunday afternoon’s Red, White and Blue Rodeo (June 05, 2016).

I hope you enjoy!

After being forced to cancel their world famous rodeo in 2020, Cheyenne Frontier Days, “The Daddy of ‘Em All!” will return in 2021 (July 23-August 01) with the 125th running at the historic Wyoming venue.

I missed the rodeo when it didn’t run last year, and I look forward to heading back up to Cheyenne this year in July when it returns with a bang.

I thought I would attach some photos of mine taken during some past CFD rodeos. I hope you enjoy.

Wade Sundell didn’t let the rain bother him on his way to a 90-point ride and a buckle aboard Frontier Rodeo’s Maple Leaf in 2013’s CFD championship round.

Texas cowboy Scott Kormos won the coveted Tie Down Roping title at the 2013 Cheyenne Frontier Days Rodeo.

Richie Champion won the 2014 CFD bareback title by making one of the most memorable rides in Cheyenne history aboard Dirty Jacket for a 91-point score.

Utah cowboy Stetson Wright brought the house down with this near record 93-point ride aboard a bull named Safety Meeting to win the 2019 Cheyenne Frontier Days Rodeo title.

Colorado barrel racer Shali Lord and Can Man blast towards the third barrel on their way to a 17.22-second time and a tie for 2019 Cheyenne Frontier Days rodeo title.

Just a few photos from some past CFD rodeos. I hope you liked them. I know I am looking forward to getting back there in 2021!

God bless and have a great day.
