  • Bill Pickett Invitational Rodeo

    I attended the Bill Pickett Invitational Rodeo Championship in September. I was excited. I have wanted to attend for years but could never quite coordinate the trip to California or Texas.

  • On being inspired…….

    Inspiration and goals are as personal as each of us is unique. You can make lots of assumptions about why people do what they do.

    There are thousands of professional rodeo athletes competing on a professional, semi-pro, and amateur level all over the country. In my part of the country there are hundreds at least.
