  • Granddaddy of ’Em All,” the Original Ranch Rodeo
    THE ‘ GOFranddaddy EM ALL WICHITA FALLS’ ORIGINAL RANCH RODEO KATHRYNSTORY BYJONES PHOTOGRAPHSDAVE SHAFER BY Photo by Kevin Stillman Photo by Kevin Stillman 36 texashighways.com AUGUST 2017 37 ed sand flies across the arena as ranch cowboys show off the skills of their horses, which have colorful names like Loretta Lynn, Snake, Purr Cat, and Brandin’ Crew. Each cowboy rides his horse hard, then pulls back the reins to stop abruptly. Next, each rider backs up his horse, rides in one direction and then another, making the shape of a figure eight. In a final display of agil- ity and versatility, each horse chases down a calf so the cowboy, still in the saddle, can rope it. Applause and shouts echo in the stands from the fans at Wichita Falls’ Multi-Purpose Event Center, many of whom are wearing cowboy hats themselves. This “top horse” competition tests American Quarter Horses and their riders on skills they’d need if they were working on a ranch, especially smoothness of movement and quickness of response. It’s just one of the events at the Texas Ranch Roundup, held each August in Wichita Falls to simulate events at the cattle roundups of the late 1800s and early 1900s. This year’s roundup runs Aug. 18 -19. R I had never seen the Texas Ranch Roundup, billed as the “granddaddy of ’em all,” the original ranch rodeo. So my husband and I drove to Wichita Falls from our home near Glen Rose last August to watch working cow- boys and cowgirls from some of Texas’ most historic ranches compete for the all-around title.
