IN THEIR WORDS LOGAN COOK Saddle bronc rider driving for first Wrangler NFR I t (Calgary Stampede) was really good. I looked up to that rodeo as a kid. I was just happy to get the opportunity to go up there. There are a lot of guys who rodeo all their Logan Cook didn’t grow up in rodeo. With his grandfather owning a car lot and both parents

school I was supposed to be a tie-down roper, I thought. Then I got to college and Jeff was a bareback rider, so he liked the roughstock. I got decent in that. It’s a lot cheaper to get up and down the rodeo and ride bucking horses than to haul a horse and trailer. My dad enters us (Cook travels with Parker Kempfer, Parker Fleet and Keene Justesen). It’s kind of crazy because he never rodeoed. I think he has fun with it. He’s a car salesman, he didn’t grow up cowboying. My grandpa owns the car lot. I help them here and there when the daywork is slower. I help repo cars. It’s a good gig. It can be a little hairy at times, but it pays pretty good. I have a guy I go with. He’s been around. They don’t give him too much lip most of the time. When I’m not competing and not working at the car lot, I do daywork at Klein Cattle, owned by Justin Klein. I think staying in the Top 24 in the Tour (ProRodeo Tour presented by PendletonWhisky) is going to be the key to getting into the Tour Finale. There’s going to be a lot of money given away those last couple of weekends to stand a chance to make the Finals. It’s great for me because I’m going to be right on the bubble the whole time. Hopefully I’ll get up there (Tour Finale at California Rodeo Salinas) and have some luck and draw some good horses. There are going to be some guys on the bubble who are going to get in and there are some that might go and not make it in. But it’ll be exciting.

careers and never get to go there. I was just excited they opened it up to count toward the standings and let some of us guys get in there. This season has been great. We have a good

working there (Cook helps out too), he learned about being a cowboy from his uncle Phillip Reynolds. But Reynolds team roped, and Cook grew up expecting to tie-down rope. Instead, the 23-year-old from Alto, Texas, is 15th in saddle bronc riding in the PRCA | RAMWorld Standings with $42,560 with less than two months remaining in the regular season. Cook is hunting for his first Wrangler National Finals Rodeo qualification and got a big boost in the standings after finishing third at the Calgary Stampede, earning $16,750.

group of guys and are having a lot of fun. I’m just happy all those rodeos opened up and gave us a chance to go to those rodeos. Last year was shut down, but this is the first year I’ve gotten to go to all those bigger rodeos and have plenty to go to. Last year was fair, but I expected better. It was decent, but the goal was to be in the top 30 to get into those bigger rodeos for this season to set it up for this year and to have a little more success this year than last year. My uncle didn’t rodeo much, but he’s been a cowboy all his life, and I followed him around. Luckily, I have some good parents ( Jerry and Leslie) who were 110% behind it. I went to junior rodeos, then started getting on broncs for the fun of it. I went to Panola (Texas) College and graduated with a degree in farm and ranch management. I competed under coach Jeff Collins, and he opened my eyes to what was possible. It was probably one of the best things to do was go to school there for him. He was awesome. He was a bareback rider. He won the world in 2000. His mental game is unreal. He really changed the way you look at things. I made the College National Finals Rodeo three times. I roped all the way through college. All through high

COWBOY GRILLE WITH ALLY GALLAGHER

You haven’t had your card for a full year yet, and you’re already winning rodeos. How much confidence is that giving you as you progress in your career? Quade: Ogden (Pioneer Days Rodeo) gave me a lot of confidence stepping forward. To go out and make a good run at a big rodeo like that, it really gives a guy a lot of confidence. Why did you choose tie-down? Quade: That’s what my dad did, and a lot of my family roped calves. I started at it young and had a little success. I grew to love it. What has this season been like for you, so far? Quade: It’s been a lot of ups and downs, and a lot of learning curves. Did you compete in any other events growing up? Quade: I roped calves and bulldogged. I’m from a bulldogging family, as well. What is your favorite vacation spot? Quade: Anywhere with a beach. You travel a lot – do you have a favorite fast-food restaurant and order? Quade: A club from Subway. What’s your favorite holiday? At 21, tie-down roper Quade Hiatt is making a run at becoming the PRCA | Resistol Rookie of the Year. After clocking 7.3 seconds for a win at Ogden (Utah) Pioneer Days July 20- 24, Hiatt sits second in the Rookie of the Year standings. The Canyon, Texas, native is 35th in the PRCA | RAM World Standings and looking to creep closer to that Top 15 range before October.

QUADE HIATT

Quade: Christmas would have to be my favorite. And the best Christmas gift you’ve ever gotten? Quade: It would have to be a horse. Just can’t beat it. Who is your hero, and why? Quade: It would have to be my dad. He’s the one who taught me everything I know as far as roping and how to become a man. If you didn’t rodeo, what sport would you do? Quade: If I didn’t rodeo, I would probably play football.

Do you have a favorite pump-up song or an ideal song to hear before your run? Quade: I don’t really, I try to tune all that out.

What is your favorite rodeo memory or a recent one that stands out? Quade: My rookie season has been pretty good. But to pick one memory? Oh, dang, being hard on a guy! Outside of my rookie season, I’d have to say winning the all-around at Shawnee (International Finals Youth Rodeo). What’s it like having a big crowd cheer you on at a rodeo? Quade: When the crowd’s electric, it just makes you go that much faster. What are your goals for the season? Quade: The goal for the season is to win the rookie title and make the Finals (Wrangler National Finals Rodeo).

Parrott Talks

“It’s great having him (Remy) there and never having to worry about things on that side because I know he’ll have it covered. He knows I’m there for him as well. We’re hoping to get him the (Resistol) Rookie title like I got.”

Steer wrestler Rowdy Parrott notched a 3.1-second run at the Deadwood (S.D.) Days of ’76 Rodeo July 29. Parrott’s hazer is his younger brother, Remy.
