IN HIS WORDS KENNY PETET

Unintended consequences bring Petet’s life full circle I ’ve come full circle. I’m driving a rock truck I’ll explain. When I was a 25-year-old, broke rodeo After a month of mowing my pastures two or three times, fixing every fence on this place and completely tearing apart my shop and re-organizing it, I moved my attention to the inside of the house. I travel for work, I’m gone quite a bit and my wife

Kenny Petet is a 25- year member of the PRCA. The former bareback rider and saddle bronc rider does plenty nowadays in rodeo, including working as a Specialty Act. The man who has worked at the National Finals Rodeo before – including pointing out that he’s walked former NFR General Manager Shawn Davis’ dog – took over Whiplash the Cowboy Monkey act from Hall of Famer Tommy Lucia. The funnyman Petet offered the following humorous anecdote.

cowboy, I started chasing the pretty, young, barrel racer that would later become my pretty, young wife. I chased her from rodeo to rodeo like a young stud horse chases a filly - head up, lip curled, and eyes closed - until I finally got her corralled in Texas. But it became quickly apparent that she had no interest in eating Spam and saltines, living in my van, traipsing all over God’s green earth from rodeo to rodeo and taking showers under a garden hose at the rodeo grounds. So in order to make this marriage work, I would have to do the unthinkable. I would have to get a job. So I went to driving a rock truck. But from the minute I got in that truck, I was looking for a way to get out of it. That became the start of a 25-year journey as I built the rodeo entertainment company I now own. But with this “new reality,” in one fell swoop, we were shut down. There were no crowds to entertain. Now, let me be clear. My wife and I are fine. We own a nice ranch, she has a real estate company, we have savings and investments, and I could just stay home and catch up on what SpongeBob is doing or binge watch Justified/The Sopranos/ Breaking Bad/Sons of Anarchy/The Mayans back-to-back-to- back. But I couldn’t do it.

is used to doing things by herself and on her schedule. And if you know me at all, you know a little dose of me goes a long way. The straw that broke the camel’s back was when I started the dishwasher before it was completely full. I didn’t realize that was a hanging offense. I realize that now. She asked me to, “please go into town and find something to do at least part time or I’m gonna shoot you.” Those may not have been her exact words, but that was the gist of it. So, just like when I was 25, in order to make this marriage work, I drove to town and applied at exactly one place. The gravel company in town that had the nicest trucks. When I sat down with the foreman I actively encouraged him not to hire me. I’m pretty sure you’re not supposed to use phrases like: “I’m not really looking for a job.” “I don’t want to take a job from somebody who really needs it.” “I only want to work part time.” “The minute a rodeo calls, I am out of here.” But, despite my best efforts, he hired me anyway. This “part-time gig” has been 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. most days since I started. So there you go. ... I’m driving a rock truck. Full circle.

Former Bareback Riding World Champ Kaycee Feild was on a recent episode of the TV show Yellowstone . In Feild’s view, using actual cowboys on the show could draw more fans to ProRodeo.

COWBOY GRILLE WITH AMBER BAILLIE

When it comes to managing the details, rodeo chute boss Casey Harp knows what needs to be taken care of to pull off a seamless professional event. After observing behind the scenes in rodeo as a kid and working for the National

Basketball Association as a young adult, the production coordin- ator from Forney, Texas, has been successful as the assistant general manager for PRCA stock contractor Rafter G Rodeo.

How did you get involved in rodeo? Casey: My entire family has been involved in the rodeo business in some form or fashion. Most of my aunts, uncles and cousins have competed. My stepdad worked for the Gay family (who owns Rafter G Rodeo) and is how I became associated with them. I refer to them as my extended family. I was away from it for a while because I was in the program to be a National Basketball Association referee. I returned to the rodeo business around 2012, and here I am now. Tell me about your experience working in professional basketball. Casey: I was a referee for 12 years. During my senior year of high school, I worked several regional playoffs, two state tournaments and a couple state finals. I got into Division I college basketball, then went to the NBA’s national tryout program and was invited to be on staff with the NBA Development League. Kind of like rodeo, I never had the drive to be a competitor. I never wanted to ride or rope, what interested me was the livestock. My passion ended up being the production side of things. What steered you back to rodeo? Casey: When the NBA didn’t bring me back after my second season, I spent another few years working in college basketball and wanted to get back to something that I knew. So, my first call was to Jim Gay of Rafter G. They planned to work the rodeo in Gladewater (Texas) in a few

CASEY HARP

weeks, and at that point, I hadn’t been to a rodeo in three years. I’d been living in downtown Dallas and was a corporate kind of guy. I didn’t have any cowboy clothes left, besides my boots, belt and hat, and had to buy clothes to work the rodeo.

What is your role with Rafter G Rodeo? Casey: I write and negotiate a lot of contracts with newer rodeos. I do most of the hiring of our crews. Ultimately, our boss, Jim Gay, has final say, but I know what he wants, and I try to make it happen. As far as the rodeos, I get stock to the rodeo, coordinate the hotels and make sure the feed is handled. I act as the liaison between the committees’ needs and wants and making those happen at the rodeo. Once the rodeo starts, I run our production, the chutes and make sure everything is set to go. What do you love about the sport of ProRodeo? Casey: The freedom that it brings to all of us. Every one of us gets to decide where we go, what we do, and we make a host of friends along the way. What are your goals right now? Casey: Hoping to stay in business through 2020. I think all our goals changed quite a bit when this (COVID-19 pandemic) hit. Getting my video screens and video production company off the ground, increasing clients and events in those. Everyone wants to survive and see if we can get started for 2021. What’s been your biggest accomplishment in your career? Casey: One of the things I’m most proud of is our biggest rodeo, the Fort Worth (Texas) Stock Show and Rodeo. There are a lot of responsibilities I’ve been entrusted with at that rodeo. That’s one of my favorites, being chute boss at Fort Worth, helping coordinate the production and being the next in line of the generations of people who have made such a historic event happen. What’s the best piece of advice you’ve received? Casey: My favorite quote is by Martin Luther King Jr.: “The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.” I’ve always tried to maintain that mindset in any situation, whether in business or personally, to keep your cool, maintain your composure and get through any given situation at hand. What’s your favorite food? Casey: Ribeye steak, medium rare. Do you have any nicknames? Casey: “Hacksaw.” A few years back I was compared to a guy named “Chainsaw.” He

was a pickup man who worked for the Gay family. I was told I’m more like a hacksaw than a chainsaw. Neal Gay thought it was the funniest thing, and now everyone knows me as “Hacksaw.” What is your biggest pet peeve? Casey: Rude behavior, people who aren’t considerate of others. Who knows you best in your life? Casey: My two best friends, pickup man Josh Edwards and barrelman John Harrison. What was the last good show you watched? Casey: Making a Murderer on Netflix.

BY MATT NABER B areback riders Tilden Hooper and show Yellowstone . “The episode had a shot of Rocker Steiner riding bareback, and Sid, Bob and Joleen (Steiner) were there and involved with the storyline, so we happened to be around town, and Sid asked if we would help buck the horse,” Hooper said. “I ended up flanking the horse and helped Rocker out there. Kaycee Feild was there too helping do pickup, Cort Scheer was on the bucking chutes and made it in some shots, and Jake Finlay was there, too. It was a handful of contestants who stopped and helped.” A few days after winning the Pendleton (Ore.) Round-Up in mid-September in 2019, Hooper joined Feild on Yellowstone’s set near Park City, Utah. Then it was nearly a year before they and their fans got to see the episode on Aug. 2. “There’s a handful of people who reached out and were pretty excited about it, commenting it’s awesome to be part of the No. 1 show in America,” Feild said. Sid Steiner, the 2002 steer Kaycee Feild and a few other ProRodeo athletes found themselves in a different kind of spotlight as part of the hit TV

Scheer is a saddle bronc rider who has competed at the NFR six times (2010, 2012-15, the sport of rodeo,” Feild said, adding that having

It is also on NBC’s streaming service, Peacock Premium, and on Amazon Prime. It’s also available on various online entertainment stores.

“All the feedback has been positive, and in general the rodeo community likes seeing cowboys on a show like that since it’s authentic,” Hooper said. “They get on board with rodeo every chance they get and are promoting the sport in every way they can. Those guys are gung-ho with rodeo, and it’s awesome to have a TV show or business like that in our corner rooting for us.”
