EDITOR’S LETTER TRACY RENCK

Looking back at Command Performance Rodeo James Fain photo President Ronald Reagan addresses the crowd and contestants before the Command Performance Rodeo put on by the PRCA on Sept. 24, 1983, at Landover, Maryland’s Capital Centre.

S ometimes when you least expect it, a gem will fall in your lap. That’s what happened recently at the PRCA. Amy Fast, the Digital Assets Manager at the PRCA saw an email drop in her inbox from Bill Palanuk, the Media Director at the North Dakota Cowboy Hall of Fame in Medora. The email contained video of the Command Performance Rodeo put on by the PRCA on Sept. 24, 1983, at Landover, Maryland’s Capital Centre. Watch the full video on Page 38 of this digital issue. The White House invitation-only rodeo event, included special guests President Ronald Reagan and First Lady Nancy Reagan and there were 10,249 government dignitaries, including Ambassadors from 46 foreign countries. Designated as a tribute to America’s government, the special performance featured former and current ProRodeo world champions, along with top 1983 contenders in seven events. “There aren’t too many activities in this land of ours … as purely American as what we have seen here,” Reagan said. At a White House barbecue following the

PRCA President at the time.

“Everything from the White House was totally first class and they seemed to enjoy the western way of life as much as we enjoyed being there,” Davis said. “Malcolm Baldridge, (the United States Secretary of Commerce and former team roper) is how this came about. He came to me and asked me if we would be interested in putting on a performance for President Reagan. It was a great deal for us. I sat with President Reagan, and he was a great guy and very easy to talk to and he was very interested in the sport. It was quite an honor to do all that with him.” The danger of the sport of rodeo became reality when world champion bull rider Charles Sampson was involved in a wreck with Silver Spurs Rodeo Co.’s Kiss Me. Sampson was jerked forward onto the head of the bull, which knocked him out. He was rushed from the arena and underwent six hours of surgery after sustaining multiple facial fractures. What happened to Sampson wasn’t lost on President Reagan. On Sept. 26, Sampson received a personal letter from President Reagan expressing the President’s concern and prayers for his full recovery. The President wrote that “Champions of rodeo are no strangers to pain, but your stamina and courage were extraordinary by any standard.” By all accounts, the Command Performance Rodeo

performance, President Reagan awarded special trophy buckles to event winners – bareback riders T.J. Walter, and J.C. Trujillo, saddle bronc rider Bob W. Brown, bull riders John Davis and Bobby Del Vecchio, calf roper Joe Parsons, steer wrestler Joel Edmondson, team ropers Dick and J.D. Yates and barrel racer Kaki Lybbert. What an immense thrill for the 45 contestants and Shawn Davis, the

was a resounding success. In the times we live in now, it is hard to imagine a rodeo like this would take place at the White House. Fortunately, thanks to this video find from Palanuk, these cherished memories will be available to enjoy forever.

COWBOY GRILLE WITH TANNER BARTH

How’d you get your start in rodeo? Cash: My dad circuit rodeoed, and he steer wrestled as well. So, I guess I just kind of grew up around it. I grew up opening the chutes for him and loving it. It was something I’ve always wanted to do. I loved watching the NFR on TV and just wanted to be one of those guys one day. When did you know you could make a career out of rodeo? Cash: I never really had another plan. It was something I always wanted and something I always worked at. I guess the first time I thought that it might actually work out is when I went to high school rodeos and started having some success. Why did you decide steer wrestling would be your event? Cash: It helped me a bunch when I was younger watching my dad do it. I like some of the other events out there, but steer wrestling was what I was always best at. It just fit me really well from a young age. Did you do any other rodeo events growing up? Cash: I roped calves and team roped in high school. I still do a little bit of that in college as well, but steer wrestling is all I’m going to compete in as a pro. What’s one rodeo you want to win in your career? Altamount, Utah, steer wrestler not only leads the Resistol Rookie standings, but sits 16th in the PRCA | RAM World Standings with $24,234 won in 2023. His most recent payday came at the San Angelo (Texas) Rodeo, where he finished tied for fifth and pocketed $11,188. Cash Robb, 19, is in his second season of ProRodeo and is already looking like a savvy veteran on the rodeo trail. The

CASH ROBB

Cash: Everyone would be lying if they said they didn’t want to win the NFR. As far as a regular season rodeo goes, I think it would be really cool to win Calgary. Another one of my big goals is to be able to win every rodeo in my home state of Utah. Why did you decide to get your PRCA card this season? Cash: It just kind of happened. I was not planning to buy it until I was done with college. Then, I was steer wrestling really well last year and things were clicking. So, I talked with Tyler (Waguespack) and (Tyler) Pearson and they both thought I was ready. I went and bought my card after that. Who’s someone you look up to in the rodeo business right now? Cash: I will always look up to my dad. He never really rodeoed fulltime, but I always thought he was the baddest man I’d ever seen. I also look up to Tyler Waguespack. He and his family have been extremely great to me. He’s been helpful in not only teaching me how to wrestle steers, but how to win. What’s your favorite movie? Cash: I feel like one of my favorite movies that never gets old when I watch it is The Cowboys with John Wayne. I really like that movie. I can’t even tell you how many times I’ve watched it. What’s your go to restaurant before or after a rodeo? Cash: I don’t know if I have an exact restaurant that I like the most, but I like Mexican food quite a bit. Anywhere I can find some home cooked food is probably where you’ll find me at, since I don’t get much of that on the road. What’s the first vehicle you drove? Cash: I think my first vehicle was a 1998 Ford Ranger. I think I got it my freshman year and had it all the way up until my senior year of high school. I loved that thing. What do you enjoy doing when you’re not rodeoing? Cash: I really like to fish when I have a little time to relax. When I’m in Louisiana with Waguespack, we like to go down south and fish for red fish and speckled trout. What’s your favorite holiday? Cash: I like Christmas a lot. It’s good to see all of my family and get to spend some time with them. What type of music do you like listening to? Cash: I usually just stick to country music, but if it’s

a late-night drive and I’m pretty tired I might turn on some Post Malone or something to keep me awake.

RED BLUFF ROUND-UP

Gaining Traction

Rusty Wright overcomes injury-plagued 2022 season to take win in Red Bluff BY BRADY RENCK, Special to ProRodeo Sports News

I t is a sobering wrinkle of sports at the highest level. An athlete rings every calorie out in workouts, commits to the process, receives the awards, then in a blink, excellence becomes compromised by injuries. Saddle bronc rider Rusty Wright has reluctantly lived this scenario. A five-time Wrangler National Finals Rodeo qualifier, his world turned upside down when he struggled to stand up a year ago. Last April, he jumped off a horse, landed firm, but his ankle and fibula broke. Ten months later, Wright returned at the National Western Stock Show and Rodeo in Denver in January. “It wasn’t until December I could even get on a horse. I had some previous knee problems when I broke my leg. They put a rod in there and had to go through my knee. I developed some knee problems and had surgery in November,” Wright explained. “It was a long road back.” Wright, 27, blended resilience and excellence at the recent Red Bluff (Calif.) Round-Up. He won the competition, delivering an 87-point ride on Rosser Rodeo’s Yeti Rambler. For a rider with his resume, this might have barely registered in years past. Not now. Not with everything Wright has endured, his days measured in aches and grimaces. “This means the world after what happened last year. I came back, but it was rough going, nothing like I wanted or expected,” Wright admitted. “That horse, I knew he was going to buck. But when you don’t do well for so long, you start to doubt yourself. This ride put the kibosh on that. This is a huge confidence booster. I am not doubting myself anymore I can tell you that.” Wright qualified for the NFR in 2015 and 2016 and three straight years starting in 2018. But missing out in 2021 stung – he finished 25th in the world standings – a miss amplified by last April’s season-ending injury. One win does not define a season, but the traction puts Wright back on the road to Las Vegas. However, he refuses to take anything for granted in his pursuit of the sport’s biggest stage. “It’s about getting on practice horses in between events. Consistency is the key in this game. Big long breaks, as I have experienced, don’t treat you very good. It’s about moving forward and keeping a positive mindset,” Wright said. “The mental game is huge in this sport, staying in the right head space. I know I have it in me. It would really mean a lot to get back to the NFR after not going the past couple of years. I feel like I deserve to be there where I ride well. I know I have the ability to be in the Top 15, and I feel like I can win it when I get there. But I have to keep working.” Rolling up sleeves is part of the Wright family’s DNA. They are as synonymous with rodeo as the Mannings are with football. Having that infrastructure is powerful. “That’s a huge part of all our successes, mine, my brothers, and uncles. When I am not doing good you know somebody in the family is doing well, and you feed off their mentality,” Wright said. “You might be down, but you won’t be for long when you are around winners and hanging around winners.” Listening to Wright’s voice, it is impossible not to notice his belief. His season is turning, and after all the months of pain, his smile has returned. “Honestly, I love the winning, obviously. My favorite thing is being out there with my brothers, with my family,” Wright said. “It is taxing mentally and physically. You must picture that pot of the gold at the end of the rainbow. With all my setbacks the last few years, it makes winning Red Bluff that much sweeter.”

Saddle bronc rider Dawson Hay gets significant victory Hay Power BY TRACY RENCK T he last couple of years, qualifying for the Justin Smith ($18,891, tie down roping) BAREBACK RIDING TOP SCORES Smith SAN ANGELO RODEO TOP MONEY EARNER

Wrangler National Finals Rodeo has been somewhat of a frantic late-season push for Dawson Hay. The Wildwood, Alberta, cowboy is trying to avoid that plight this year and he’s doing a good job of that. Hay won the average at the San Angelo (Texas) Rodeo with 178.5 points on two head. Hay solidified the win with his 88-point ride on Championship Pro Rodeo’s Secret Agent in the finals. “I like to take them all the same as if I’m riding in the practice pen or in a short round,” said Hay, 24. “You can’t let everything get in your head. It’s just go out there and give it your all and hope for the best.” Hay also won the first round with a 90.5-point trip on Pete Carr Pro Rodeo’s South Point Gambler. He departed San Angelo with $15,858, which pushed him up to seventh in the PRCA | RAM World Standings. “I feel healthy, and I have been getting on some good horses and I couldn’t feel more confident right now,” Hay said. “It is a great feeling being healthy this time of year and I’m ready to let these rodeos start coming and I’m looking forward to them all.” Hay has qualified for the Wrangler NFR three times in 2019, 2021-22. A year ago, he finished seventh in the world standings with $213,122, thanks to earning $101,405 at the NFR in Las Vegas. “I think the bronc riding is the best it has ever been,” Hay said. “There’s no place to stub a toe these days. There are so many guys who are great now, who are riding so good. Everyone who is in the top 40 is liable to jump out and be 90 points, so there’s no mess ups anymore. You have to come to ride.” Hay and his older brother and fellow saddle bronc rider Logan qualified for the NFR together in 2022. Logan finished third in the world standings with $339,401. Their father, Rod was a saddle bronc rider and qualified 20 times for the NFR (1989-90, 1992-2008, 2010). “I’m not saying we are any better than them (the saddle bronc riders in his dad’s day),” Dawson said. “They are all our heroes, and we just try and be like them.”
