EDITOR’S LETTER TRACY RENCK

Cashing in during lucrative Cowboy Christmas run

T here was a time during the month of July that TV ads were full of car dealers and furniture stores celebrating Christmas in July for customers, where they were offering great discounts for merchandise. This is a different time we live in as a lot of people in the 18 to 25 age demographic don’t watch TV or even own a TV. One thing that hasn’t changed is Cowboy Christmas for PRCA contestants. The 2022 version of Cowboy Christmas consisted of 34 rodeos, which ran June 27 through July 5. Make no mistake cowboys and cowgirls travel the country fromOct. 1 to Sept. 30 to compete, but nothing compares to the hectic schedule the contestants plan out for their Cowboy Christmas runs. It is physically impossible to make all 34 rodeos – so strategy comes into play – namely where do contestants feel like they can win the most money. The epitome of the craziness of Cowboy Christmas was expressed by saddle bronc rider Lefty Holman. The Visalia, Calif., cowboy won the Oakley (Utah) Independence Day Rodeo and the Killdeer (N.D.) Mountain Roundup PRCA Rodeo and had success in Ponoka (Alberta). “I don’t even know where all we went, that’s how the Fourth went!” he joked. Holman is chasing his secondWrangler Nationals Finals qualification after making his debut at the NFR in 2020. One thing that never seems to change with Cowboy Christmas is it is a time when world champions rise to the occasion. That was no different in 2022. Reigning team roping world champions Kaleb Driggers and Junior Nogueira earned $35,152, making them the Santa Claus of the latest version of Cowboy Christmas. Tie-down roper Shane Hanchey, the 2013 PRCAWorld Champion, earned $26,576.

TimO’Connell, a PRCAWorld Champion Bareback Rider from 2016-18, added $23,938 into his pockets. And, he has world title No. 4 in clear focus. “If I am going to be away frommy family, it’s about getting on good horses that I want to be on and having fun while I am doing it,” O’Connell said. “When you put all those together, it’s pretty hard to beat me.” If coal is all a contestant received for Cowboy Christmas it doesn’t ruin the season, but a fruitful Cowboy Christmas run can certainly be the difference of someone making the Finals or not. With the Cowboy Christmas run in the rear-view mirror, those contestants looking to regroup don’t have to wait long. There are plenty of well-paying rodeos

upcoming like the Calgary Stampede ( July 8-17) and the NFR Open powered by RAM, July 13-16, in Colorado Springs Colo. Those two rodeos are huge stops for cowboys and cowgirls to cash in and gain valuable points in the NFR Playoff Series presented by PendletonWhisky. Other NFR Playoff Series stops on the immediate schedule are the Dinosaur Roundup Rodeo in Vernal, Utah, July 7-10, the Silver State Stampede in Elko, Nev., July 8-10, the Central Wyoming Fair & PRCA Rodeo in Casper, Wyo., July 12-16 and the SheridanWYO Rodeo, July 13-16. With the 2022 PRCA regular season ending Sept. 30, now is the time for contestants to start the push to the Wrangler NFR, which is Dec. 1-10 in Las Vegas, to separate the pretenders from contenders.

Rookie Rise

“The win in Reno hasn’t even sunk in yet. You just have to show up every day and do your job. I have been very successful at a young age and have been very blessed. I was blessed to be here, and this was a huge win in Reno that will set up the rest of my summer.”

Rookie tie-down roper Riley Webb came to the PRCA with quite an impressive resume. Midway through his rookie season he’s already making waves across ProRodeo. His most recent accomplishment came by winning the Reno (Nev.) Rodeo. Webb sits in the No. 1 spot in the running for the Resistol Rookie of the Year and is 11th in the PRCA | RAMWorld Standings.

COWBOY GRILLE WITH TANNER BARTH

How did you get your start in rodeo? Junior: My family owns a big beef operation down in southern Arizona. So, I grew up around horses and cows my whole life. When I was finally about 10, I asked my dad if he could teach me and that’s kind of how it all started. When did you know you could make a career out of rodeo? Junior: I had a gentleman by the name of George Aros, who is a legend down here in Arizona, tell me when I was a teenager that I could take my roping as far as I wanted it to go. I think that’s when I realized I could do this rodeo thing as a career if I worked at it. What do you like most about rodeo? Junior: I think making all the planning work and getting to go to as many places as possible rodeoing is probably my favorite part. I love traveling and being able to compete against the best. Why did you decide team roping would be your event? Junior: I wanted to be a bull rider when I first started out in rodeo. Then one day when I was about 11 or 12, I got trampled and from that point on I was pretty much over it. I decided I wanted to try the other end of the arena instead. Why did you decide to get your PRCA card this year? Junior Zambrano, 23, is beginning to make his mark in the team roping world. The Nogales, Ariz., heeler sits second in the Resistol Rookie of the Year race with $17,152. His season picked up steam when he captured the title with header Josh Siggins at the La Fiesta De Los Vaqueros in Tucson, Ariz. in February. It was the first NFR Playoff Series win of his ProRodeo career.

JUNIOR ZAMBRANO

Junior: Things had finally just started working out for me I guess you could say. I rodeoed on my permit for a couple years while I was in college. Then I really had the craving to rodeo full-time and finally got my financials and horses where I wanted them to be. So, I thought what better time than now. Who is someone you look up to in the rodeo business right now? Junior: George (Aros) was really one of the first people who went out of his way to help me with my roping game. So, I owe a lot to him. Cesar de la Cruz is another guy who I look up to, I can always call

him if I ever have a question or need help with something. What’s one rodeo you want to win in your career?

Junior: Before we won Tucson (Ariz.) earlier this year I probably would’ve said that one because it’s my hometown rodeo. Now, I’d probably have to say Prescott (Ariz.). Winning one of the major rodeos would be pretty cool too. What is your favorite movie? Junior: The first one that popped into my head is The Shawshank Redemption . I like an action movie with a good story behind it. What’s your favorite candy? Junior: I’ve definitely been on the Butterfinger kick lately. Those are my go-to right now. What is the first vehicle you drove? Junior: I think my dad had me in a 1997 Ford F-250 when I first started driving. What do you enjoy doing when you’re not rodeoing?

Junior: I have cattle of my own at home now, so I like to tend to them in my downtime. Then, I also like to train outside horses when I can. I like to try to keep my head in the game as much as possible. What’s your favorite holiday? Junior: I would have to say probably Christmas. Everyone gets to come together and there’s no bad vibes allowed. What was your favorite cartoon growing up? Junior: I didn’t watch a ton of TV growing up, but I’d probably have to say the original Looney Tunes was probably my favorite. What type of music do you like listening to? Junior: I listen to a little bit of everything. Hip-hop and rap is probably what I listen to the most. I also like old school country, I’m not much of a new age country music kind of guy.

SHORT ROUND

J ames Caan, the veteran screen actor best known as Sonny Corleone in “The Godfather” and his work in “Misery” and “Elf,” passed away on July 6. He was 82. His family announced the death in a statement on his verified Twitter account. What fans of Caan may not realize is he was a PRCA tie-down roper and team roper. Caan earned $2,404 in his PRCA career – all in team roping. Caan loved sports and acknowledged in stories that he found competing in the PRCA a challenge. He became interested in roping when he was on location in Nebraska, filming the movie “The Rain People,” which came out in 1969. “I didn’t really know what I was doing in the beginning, but I’m really a good mimic,” Caan was quoted saying in the 1983 Official ProRodeo Media Guide. “I worked hard at my roping and learned it.” Caan added that he thoroughly enjoyed competing with PRCA cowboys. “Being around the people,” Caan said in a newspaper article. “I like the way they treat me. It was hard to win their acceptance and respect. At first, they figured here comes this Hollywood actor wantin’ to play cowboys. I had to win to be accepted. After you win a few times, they treat you like just another guy out there competing and who can beat them sometimes. You can just be yourself. I don’t know what it is. It is partly being able to act out a kid’s fantasy. But I like being around them. It cleanses my brain.” In 1980, Caan, a heeler, competing with 1974 PRCA Team Roping World Champion H.P. Evetts, won money at the National Western Stock Show and Rodeo in Denver with a 7.3-second run. “I think the reason the cowboys accept me is because I’m at a rodeo to win,” Caan said in Jan. 14, 1980, PRCA press release. “I’m not some Hollywood guy who acts like a professional roper, Late actor James Caan was a PRCA competitor Rodeo Ties

I am one. As a matter of fact, my rodeo accomplishments mean more to me than my Oscar nomination for “The Godfather.” There’s something about rodeo dirt that makes me feel clean – it gets me away from the fakery of Hollywood, and back to the basics.” Caan first found fame playing Chicago Bears halfback Brian Piccolo in “Brian’s Song,” a widely seen 1971 TV movie. The tear-jerking film chronicled Piccolo’s real-life battle with terminal cancer and drew praise for its treatment of the interracial friendship between Piccolo and his African American teammate, Gale Sayers. first week of August, just depending on how much pain a guy can put up with.” A Plantar Fascia tear causes intense heel pain. There may also be a pain in the ball of the foot or pain along the arch of the foot. “There’s nothing I could control (suffering this injury),” Pope said. “The horse didn’t do it on purpose. It’s just kind of one of those deals.” Pope finished third in the world standings in 2020 and second in 2021. He won the average the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo the last two years.

Jess Pope sidelined with right foot injury Bareback rider Jess Pope, who is leading the PRCA | RAM World Standings with $121,192, will be sidelined until at least the first of August with a right foot sprain. Pope suffered the injury on July 1 when the horse he was

riding – The Cervi Brothers Grease Monkey stumbled and rolled over on top of Pope and his right foot about three seconds into the ride. “I actually tore my Plantar Fascia in two places,” Pope said. “I don’t know exactly how long I will be out. They are getting a special brace made for me and I hope I can be back rodeoing the

TIMED-EVENT TOP WINNER

Record-Setters

BY TRACY RENCK R eigning PRCAWorld Champions – team roping header Kaleb Driggers and team roping heeler Junior Nogueira – showed just how good they could be over the 2022 Cowboy Christmas run. The duo set a Cowboy Christmas single-event timed- event earnings mark at $35,152 each. “This was a great opportunity and there were a lot of really good rodeos and a lot of rodeos stepped up and added great money,” Driggers said. “Some of the rodeos had to face adversity like Red Lodge (Mont.) and they still stepped up and had a great rodeo and we are very appreciative for all the opportunities the rodeos gave us.” Nogueira concurred with his partner. “We’ve never had a Cowboy Christmas like that,” Nogueira said. “That was the best so far for us for sure. We are riding some good horses and Kaleb is roping really good and we try and do the best we can to help each other. We drew some good steers and actually caught some really strong ones as well. That was a big part of our success. We have been blessed with good horses, and we are trying to get better every day.” Driggers and Nogueira broke the single-event timed-event Cowboy Christmas mark held by Shane Hancey at $32,293 in 2016. Trevor Brazile, PRCA’s King of Cowboys who will be inducted into the ProRodeo Hall of Fame in Colorado Springs, Colo., on July 16, holds the record for most money earned during Cowboy Christmas at $39,993. He set the mark in 2011 while tie-down roping and team roping. Driggers and Nogueira’s biggest earnings during the nine-day Cowboy Christmas bonanza from June 27 to July 5 were at St. Paul (Ore.) Rodeo where they each earned $11,867 and the World’s Oldest Rodeo in Prescott, Ariz., where they each took home $7,554. “We have a set of really good horses right now that really compliment each other,” Driggers said. “I have good head horses that will do whatever the set up calls for and I use it to their strengths. Junior has a set of really good heel horses that compliment them. I felt like that was pretty key for us and naturally we drew some good steers along the way, but then we had some stronger steers that our horses made it a lot easier on us to be able to catch them and win something on them.” The record-breaking Cowboy Christmas haul is something Driggers believes will certainly help he and Nogueira for the remainder the 2022 regular season. They are each leading the PRCA | RAMWorld Standings in their respective events. “Anytime that you can have success it gives you confidence,” Driggers said. “The steps we think about are winning enough to make the Finals and then your next goal is trying to win as much as you can. We had a really fortunate winter and moving onto the summer it has been going good for us. A lot of that is having some really good horses right now and we are very thankful.” Driggers and Nogueira won their inaugural team roping header and team roping heeler world titles a year ago with $263,227 and $277,612.

ROUGHSTOCK TOP WINNER

BY TANNER BARTH A ll it took was one weekend of rodeo for bull rider Lonnie West to change his outlook on the 2022 ProRodeo season. That weekend just happened to come during Cowboy Christmas, one of the most lucrative stretches of rodeo during the PRCA season. The Canadian bull rider competed in only two rodeos over the 10 day stretch but made then count and then some. He took the Ponoka (Alberta) Stampede by storm earning a rodeo best $23,308 after winning every round of competition and the average. He said it really was a week you dream of as a cowboy. “All the stars aligned for me really,” saidWest, 26. “In the long round I had a bull that I had been on twice before and every time I got on him, I had won the bull riding. “I went into the week confident, and it got started off good. I was feeling healthy coming off the weekend before where I won third at a tour rodeo inWainwright (Alberta). Then I was able to carry it into Ponoka, which is one of our biggest and best rodeos of the year. Things just kept rolling for me and it all worked out.” He said this year’s win in Ponoka feels like revenge after he was bucked off in the showdown during his rookie season. “It’s a rodeo for the cowboys there’s no doubt about that,” he said. “They take great care of everyone, and the stock is always some of the best in the game. “I won the average there in 2015, but they bucked me off in the final round to win it. So, it was good to get some revenge this year winning the average and the four-man finals.” West also traveled toWilliams Lake (British Columbia) over the holiday weekend and added $3,168 to his name with a third-place finish, bumping his Cowboy Christmas total up to $26,476. Those earnings are the most for any roughstock contestant in the PRCA over the 10 days. “You know I don’t get to a ton of PRCA rodeos especially south of the border, but I try to go to the ones up here in Canada,” West said. “Last week worked out better than I ever could’ve imagined really. It’s crazy how in a matter of five days your life can change and so can your plans that go along with it really.” Those plans will now involve more rodeo in the United States. He said a win like Ponoka allows him to not only climb up the PRCA | RAMWorld Standings but gives him access to more rodeo entries down the road. “My goal this year was really to try and get qualifications, so I can get going more in the PRCA by the northwest run in the fall this year,” he said. “I think with that win that should help me. “I’ll probably start traveling the ProRodeo road with Jared Parsonage and Jordon Hansen and try to win as much as I can down there. My ultimate goal would be to get into the winter rodeos next year and get off to a good start next season.” Just like every cowboy going down the road he has one goal in mind and that’s making the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo. He said it’s time to start taking that goal seriously. “I’ve never really rodeoed full-time in the states. Things didn’t always workout for me to do it,” West said. “Now, I’d like to make a serious push to get to the NFR and big wins like that really help a guy do that.” Lonnie West capitalizes over Cowboy Christmas Run Full of Riches
