IN HIS OWNWORDS: COLE DAVISON AT 29, HEELER MAKES FIRSTWRANGLER NFR

I t’s awesome that I’m going to the Finals. I’m probably not the best person to ask. My wife (Whitney Baker Davison) has already joked with me, saying, “Oh, you’re just too cool,” because I don’t show how excited I am. Everybody who knows me, knows I’m really happy. I just don’t show it. I think it’s going to dang sure show up when I get out there. It’s going to be pretty cool. But I’ve been that way my whole life – try not to let anything affect me, high or low. I felt good about my chances of qualifying for the Wrangler NFR from the start, to be honest. I had the best header (Kolton Schmidt) I’ve ever had this year and the best horse (Apolo) I’ve ever had. So, I was excited from the start. This summer, when we kept having good week after good week after good week it was sinking in – I’ve got a legitimate chance here. Keep doing what we’re doing and don’t change anything, not try any harder. It stinks that Kolton isn’t coming with me. I can’t thank him enough for getting it done for me. We’ve been friends for a while. He stayed at my house the first time we decided to truly rodeo. We’ve been friends, and I really, really wanted to rope with him out there. Sometimes it doesn’t go that way. You’ve Team roping heeler Cole Davison is headed to his first Wrangler National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas. Unofficially, Davison finished the 2018 season with $66,252, good for 13th in the PRCA | RAM World Standings. Davison will rope with header Tyler Wade after their respective partners this season did not get into the Top 15. The 29-year-old originally from Texas is looking forward to his first Finals trip, even if you probably can’t tell.

got to make the best of it, and I’m going to have a good partner out there. But I wish it was him. (Tyler Wade) and I roped together at San Juan Capistrano (Calif.). I’ve known Tyler since we were little. He’s a little bit younger than I am, but we went to the same places growing up, amateur rodeos. I’m excited about roping with him out there. He’s been there before. I practice all day, every day anyway. It’s not like we’re going to have a big, vamped-up practice. But we’re going to dang sure rope together before we get out to Las Vegas. (Eleven-time, Wrangler NFR heading qualifier) Luke Brown texted me last night, so I’ll probably go over there and practice some and try to get some information from the better guys that have been there a lot and try to use that. In 2014, I finished 17th in the standings and missed qualifying for the NFR by about $4,000. It didn’t affect me emotionally. But I changed a few things in my roping and with my horses – things I thought I needed to change but figured out I didn’t need to change. I just needed to work harder on the things that worked for me. That set me back a couple years to get it sorted out. I got to be real good friends with (2016 Team Roping Heeler World Champion) Jeremy Buhler. We went through the same things on changing this and changing that. He told me, if we just work on what works for us it’s good enough. We’ve got to work on that and not let outside things affect us. With rodeo slowing down a bit for the fall, I’m going to try and go hunting with some good buddies and then hang out with my little girls (Milli, 8, Letti, 11 months). I’m blessed. My wife rides barrels, so the family gets to go with me most of the summer. I get to take Milli to school every morning, and I get to wake Letti up every morning. There’s nothing better than that.

GRILLE COWBOY

Rookie saddle bronc rider Kolby Wanchuk, 22, was third in the PRCA | Resistol Rookie of the Year standings with $26,687 as of Oct. 1. The Sherwood Park, Alberta, cowboy is the son of longtime rodeo clown Ricky “Ticky” Wanchuck and has been around the sport of rodeo since the time he could walk. He has his sights set on making the 2019 Wrangler National Finals Rodeo.

WITH TRACY RENCK PSN

What has been the coolest place you traveled to? Kolby: Going to the Pendleton (Ore.) Round-Up. I didn’t do any good there, but that’s one of the coolest rodeos I have ever been to because of the history of the rodeo and competing on the grass. I also got to stay at Deb Copenhaver’s place last year, and he told us stories going back into the 1950s. Why did you choose saddle bronc riding? Kolby: My mom (Joan) was a barrel racer. I went with her a bit, and I was helping my dad clown since the time I could walk. I also spent a lot of time hanging out with the Thurston gang while they were trick riding. I always talked about saddle bronc riding and that’s what I decided I wanted to do. Who were some of the influences you had when you started saddle bronc riding? Kolby: I was mentored by Mel Hyland, and (the late) Winston Bruce helped me out quite a bit. (Hyland won the 1972 PRCA saddle bronc riding world championship outright and tied for the world championship in 1976. Bruce was the 1961 PRCA saddle bronc riding world

champion. Bruce passed away July 10, 2017, at the age of 79.) Every video I get I send to Mel, and we go over them. I’m so fortunate to have him help me. Winston used to send me messages. He was just an amazing person, especially with the way he thought about saddle bronc riding. He would always keep you focused on the right things. What’s the worst rodeo injury you have suffered?

Kolby: I broke my left leg, and then two months later, at the end of July in 2017, I got kicked in the head coming off a horse. I won the rodeo, but I got caught in a bad spot coming off. The whole left side of my head is pretty much metal. I have six plates and 27

screws and a bunch of gold mesh in there. I got a chunk knocked out of my skull the size of a baseball. They had to pull that piece out and plate it back to the rest of the skull. It’s on the left side of my skull, right above my ear. I was very fortunate, somehow my head and brain weren’t impacted, and I was able to go to rodeos two months later. Now, in my cowboy hat, I wear a 2nd Skull. It’s a layer of protection that hardens on impact. I figured I needed to do what I could to help myself. After my injury, I was excited to get back riding again. Do you have any brothers or sisters? Kolby: I have one younger brother, Kyle, who is 16. He’s a team roping heeler and tie- down roper.

Did you play hockey growing up? Kolby: My brother and I played hockey a little bit, and we like to ski a lot. As I started getting busier with saddle bronc riding, I left hockey and skiing alone and focused on saddle bronc riding. What is it like working at CTC Golf and Turf when you’re not rodeoing? Kolby: That’s a golf course construction company, and they help me get down the road a little bit to rodeo. They also let me work when I’m not rodeoing, which is good. I’ve been working for them since I was 16. But, I’m a much better saddle bronc rider than a golfer. What is your favorite restaurant? Kolby: Red Claws Crab Shack in Arlington, Texas. When I’m there I get a big feast of crab, shrimp, potatoes, corn and sausage. What TV show do you binge watch? Kolby: Lately, I’ve been watching Brooklyn Nine-Nine and I also like The Office . What is your favorite big-screen movie? Kolby: The Cowboys with John Wayne. I loved watching that movie as a little kid, and I still love watching it. Who is your favorite musical artist? Kolby: I like older country music, guys like Waylon Jennings, Merle Haggard and Johnny Cash. Whose tougher: a hockey player or a cowboy?

Kolby: A cowboy. Hockey players are pretty darn tough, but you don’t see cowboys missing time for a broken toe or something like that. Hockey is different, but you see cowboys pushing through a lot more to keep going. What is your favorite sports team? Kolby: The Edmonton Oilers. I like Connor McDavid. My family are huge fans of the Oilers. My mom doesn’t miss too many games, she has season tickets.

Making history Tuf Cooper sets steer roping money record R OUND THE SHORT

BY THE NUMBERS

The number of unofficial first-time qualifiers sched- uled to compete at the 2018 Wrangler National Finals Rodeo. The audit of the final regular-season 2018 PRCA | RAM World Standings is scheduled to be completed later this month. The last time three cowboys finished in the Top 15 in two events until this year. Tuf Cooper (tie-down roping, steer roping), Trevor Brazile (tie-down roping, steer roping) and Rhen Richard (tie-down roping, team roping header) have unof- ficially qualified. In ’98 it was Ty Murray (saddle bronc riding, bull riding), Herbert Theriot (steer wrestling, tie-down roping) and Brazile (team roping heeler, steer roping). The last time a Canadian cowboy won the PRCA steer wrestling world champion- ship. That year Lee Graves, of Calgary, Alberta, took home the world title. Graves also won the PRCA steer wrestling world championship in 2005. This year, Curtis Cassidy of Donalda, Alberta, heads to the Wrangler NFR in Las Vegas, Dec. 6-15, first in the standings. This is Cassidy’s sixth Wrangler NFR qualifica- tion and his first since 2014.

Setting PRCA records is nothing new for Tuf Cooper.

The Weatherford, Texas, cowboy added another to his résumé, as he established the PRCA steer roping record for the most money earned in a season before the Clem McSpadden NFSR with $89,427. The previous record was set in 1998 by Guy Allen with $87,927. “I only went to about 30 rodeos this year in the steer roping,” Cooper said. “To break a money record is awesome for our sport and for our event. It means things are getting better. I really appreciate all of the rodeos that have the steer roping and all of the single steer ropings.”

Tuf Cooper

Last year was Cooper’s first year to compete in steer roping. “I am still fresh in the steer roping game,” Cooper said. “The group of steer ropers are such a great group of guys. They are the gentlemen of the sport. They have all been so helpful with my roping.” The four-time world champion didn’t have a specific money goal for the season. “It is always my goal to be the best that I can be in that situation or that day in all that I do,” Cooper said.

RAM NCFR to be held during country music fest The RAM National Circuit Finals Rodeo will be even bigger in 2019 to give rodeo fans a chance to see some of the top country music acts in the world. The RAM NCFR will be March 21-24, 2019, while the Country Thunder Music Festival will have Toby Keith, Luke Combs and Luke Bryan, plus others, performing on the same grounds as the circuit finals in Kissimmee, Fla. The three-day music festival and four-day rodeo will be at Osceola Heritage Park, the site of the Silver Spurs Arena, where the RAM National Circuit Finals Rodeo has taken place since 2015. The RAM NCFR highlights the best cowboys from each of the 12 circuits in the PRCA. Keith will play March 22, Combs on March 23 and Bryan on March 24. With four other festivals already part of the Country Thunder Music Festivals brand, the organization is eager to welcome fans of the Sunshine State. “We’ve been wanting to bring Country Thunder to this part of the world for some time, and we’re thrilled for this opportunity,” said Troy Vollhoffer, Country Thunder Music Festivals CEO. “The timing was right, and we’re putting together a talent lineup and overall festival experience which fans of the Country Thunder brand have come to expect. “Florida is one of the best country music markets in North America, and we’re going to put on a show that will have these fans coming back year in and year out.” With its rich entertainment history, the natural beauty of Osceola Heritage Park will serve as the perfect back- drop for an event and fan experience of this magnitude.

Rodeo count among changes to 2019 season A recent PRCA board meeting decided that for the 2019 season the following will be implemented: The number of official rodeos that count for the Wrangler NFR standings has been determined by each event representative as has been done in the past. The rodeo counts are as follows: bareback riding, 100 official rodeos; saddle bronc riding, 100 official rodeos; bull riding, no limit; tie-down roping, 85 official rodeos; steer wrestling, 85 official rodeos; team roping, 65 official rodeos. Wrangler NFR qualifiers will be based on “money won” at their official rodeos. To improve circuit cowboy recruitment and development efforts within the circuit system, money won at 2018 Circuit Finals Rodeos will count for the 2019 Wrangler NFR but will not count for 2020. While the All American has provided benefit to contestants and committees, members asked to re-evaluate it. It will count for the 2019 Wrangler NFR – but 2018 is the final year for the All American Series. In 2019 the winner of “THE AMERICAN” will count a maximum of $50,000 as official money won for Wrangler NFR standings. All other places will reflect actual money won. To better understand the implications related to migrating to a broader points system in subsequent years, the 2019 TOUR will be points-based at 60 of the PRCA’s largest rodeos as determined by added purse money. Details will be finalized around the end of October with contestant and committee input. Puyallup will remain the host of the TOUR Playoffs – money won will count toward the 2019 Wrangler NFR.

OutWith a Bang BY MATT NABER S teer wrestler Stetson Jorgensen saved his best for last, raking in $8,605 during the final week of the 2018 regular season. Winning the River City Rodeo in Omaha, Neb., was the highlight of his big week, while he also tied for second at three other rodeos. Jorgensen caps off big week with Omaha win Stetson Jorgensen, seen here tying for second at the American Royal Rodeo in Kansas City, Mo., jumped 10 spots in the PRCA | RAM World Standings to 38th after winning the River City Rodeo in Omaha, Neb. Kent Kerschner photo The 25-year-old tied for second at the Pasadena (Texas) Livestock Show & Rodeo, Sept. 27, to haul in $1,700. Two days later he tied for second at the American Royal Rodeo in Kansas City, Mo., for $2,069 and won Omaha outright for $2,888. On the last day of

the season he tied for second at Stephenville for $1,948. Jorgensen was 0.6 seconds ahead of the pack at Omaha with his 4.2-second run. “It was cool to see a kid frommy hometown go to a big rodeo and whoop it up,” said PRCA tie-down roper Riley Butler, who grew up with Jorgensen. Jorgensen competed on fellow Idaho bulldogger Ringo Robinson’s horse,

“It feels great because most of the guys are scraping the bottom of their bank accounts now,” Jorgensen said. “Winning $8,000 this week definitely helped so I can focus on practicing and not go back to work and get ready for the (Wilderness) Circuit Finals.”

RIVER CITY RODEO

Monroe, who he’s been using since Cowboy Christmas. Their first rodeo together ended in a tie for fifth and went on to be the start of Jorgensen’s best summer run. “I started a horse this winter, and she just wasn’t quite ready,” Jorgensen said. “Ringo got hurt this winter, and he offered her to me. I jumped on it because I rode her before and I liked her. We started clicking when I got her. She has lots of run, she starts quick and is easy in the box, which is awesome because I can just focus on bulldogging instead of being a horseman.” Jorgensen also credited his Omaha win to his hazer, Stan Branco. “He was a huge part of it, you can’t do it without the hazer,” Jorgensen said. “He lined him out and put him in my lap, just the way I like it. He’s one of the best hazers out there.” September was a good month for Jorgensen. He also won his hometown rodeo, the Gem State Classic Pro Rodeo in Blackfoot, Idaho, with a 3.4-second run Sept. 4. “It felt pretty awesome,” Jorgensen said of winning his hometown rodeo. “I was in slack, but I had a few family members who stayed for the late night. It’s always fun to show what I can do in my hometown.” Before winning Omaha, Jorgensen was 48th in the 2018 PRCA | RAM World Standings with $29,003. The final weekend of the season jumped the Idaho cowboy 10 spots to 38th with $37,601. The jump in the world standings has Jorgensen excited for the next season because it means qualifying for rodeos he’s never had the opportunity to enter, such as Denver and San Antonio. “I’d like to keep rodeoing hard now, but unfortunately it’s slow- ing down, so I’m ready for the 2019 season for sure,” Jorgensen said. CLIMBINGTHE LADDER Jorgensen grew up in a rodeo family and went on to compete on the Central Wyoming College rodeo team in Riverton, Wyo., while earning his farrier certificate. He’s the first member of his family to compete in the PRCA and runs his business, trucking oilfield supplies and working a 40-acre farm with 30 head of cattle. “I was just born into it and fell in love with it,” Jorgensen said. “I used to think I was a bull rider, but I started bulldogging and had some success and figured it’s a lot more fun to throw the beef around than me being thrown around. And being three seconds on bulldogging is quite a rush, it happens pretty fast. I’m quite the adrenaline junkie, I suppose. I never skydived before, but I think it’s the same as that.” Jorgensen competed on his permit while attending college, but he took the 2013 and 2014 seasons off. In 2012 he won $1,911 and won the Steamboat Springs (Colo.) Pro Rodeo in 13.4 seconds on two head. He returned to PRCA competition in 2015 and placed 26th in the permit standings with $1,739 thanks to winning the Wyoming State Fair & Rodeo in Douglas with a 4.2-second run. “He’s come a long way and has tried hard at everything he does,” Butler said. “His game has come so far in the last year. Stetson bulldogs sharp, and he works at it every day.” He went on to place fifth in the 2016 PRCA | Resistol Rookie Standings for steer wrestling and 77th in the 2016 world standings with $15,095. His rookie year was highlighted with wins at the YMBL Championship Rodeo in Beaumont, Texas, with a 4.0-second run; the

Springville (Calif.) Sierra Rodeo with a 4.8-second run and the Days of the OldWest Rodeo at Delta, Utah, with a 5.2-second run. Jorgensen took the 2017 season off when his previous bulldogging horse was unable to compete. “I decided to take a year off to get my head right and get another horse under me,” Jorgensen said. “Then my rookie year, I went hard but had a little success, and it didn’t turn out the way I wanted. And the years before that I was in college and didn’t rodeo hard.” Jorgensen will enter the Wilderness Circuit Finals in November ranked third in his circuit and plans on practicing with his traveling partner Dirk Tavenner. As he’s climbed the ranks, Jorgensen is hoping to continue to progress. “I’d like to make the NFR and win that gold buckle,” Jorgensen said. “I hope to stay healthy and keep at it as long as I can and make a living at it, so I don’t have to get a real job and do the 8-to-5. I just need to stay healthy, practice and surround myself with good people, good bulldoggers and stay positive.” Butler is confident his friend will achieve his goals. “He just needs to keep going down the road and keep a good horse under him and stay positive,” Butler said.

After ending 2018 on a high note, Stetson Jorgensen is heading to the RAM Wilderness Circuit Finals Rodeo on Nov. 1-3 ranked third in his circuit with $13,613. Kent Kerschner photo
