2017 Stock of the Year by Terri Mason Stock Contractor of the Year - VOLD RODEO LTD.

Wayne Vold is honoured to, once again, be named the Canadian Professional Rodeo Association Stock Contractor of the Year.

Vold comments, “If the contestants vote you Stock Contractor of the Year, you must be doing some- thing right.”

In 2017, Vold Rodeo had stock at or produced sev- eral CPRA rodeos including Stavely, Grande Prairie, Rocky Mountain House, Wainwright, Ponoka, Morris, Strathmore, Cranbrook, Okotoks, Nansen and Wayne Vold the Grass Roots Final and the Canadian Finals Rodeo.

Bull of the Year 105 JOHNNY RINGO - Vold Rodeo Co. Ltd. In a world where “bad” means “good” Johnny Ringo is one bad bull.

“He came from Nate and Jackie Gardner at Arrowwood,” said Nansen Vold. “He’s six years old. He’s very tiny for a bull.”

It’s certainly not his 1,250-lb size that prompted his win of Bull of the Year; it was the fact that he is a terrific challenge to the bull riders who statistically make money on his back.

“He bucked at 25-30 rodeos this year,” said Vold. “At Okotoks he bucked off Brock Radford; at Stavely they were 90 points on him.” In fact, $12,500 was won by Maple Creek’s Jared Parsonage when he covered Johnny Ringo at Stavely’s 2017 Glen Keeley Memorial Bull Riding, only the second time that the bull had been ridden.

The horned bull knows his business too. After he bucks them off the only thing he’s hunting is the out gate. “He’s pretty quiet that way,” said Vold.

Johnny Ringo favours a left-hand delivery and continues to buck to the left and this “all busi- ness” bull is consistent earning his average score. Out of a possible 25 points per judge, says Vold, “He averages 22 pts a trip; sometimes a lit- tle higher.”

The bull has also made his mark south of the Medicine Line as well with an appearance at the Granddaddy of ‘Em All – Pendleton Round-Up — and for PBR fans, it was recently announced that Johnny Ringo was named PBR Canada Bull of the Year.

Johnny Ringo also saw the lights of Vegas as he was one of five Canadian bucking bulls selected for the 2017 Professional Bull Riders (PBR) Built Ford Tough World Finals held in Las Vegas in Nov.

Of course, fans also enjoyed watching the CPRA Bull of the Year Johnny Ringo in action at the 2017 CFR.

Bareback Horse of the Year F13 VIRGIL - C5 Rodeo

Few horses draw as much attention as Virgil. The big, flashy grey is a rodeo photographer’s dream, with more “hang time” than a basketball star, and his cas- cading mane and tail add emphasis to his tremendous power. He’s a fierce competitor and he’s still bucking as hard at eight seconds as he is the first jump out of the chute.

“It’s been a long time coming,” says Vern MacDonald about the award. “But he got it. He’s a great horse.”

So far, Virgil has won MacDonald three trucks, and the phenom has earned big bucks for cowboys too; the $100,000 at Calgary — twice; 94 pts at Houston and he was the star of The American; a one-day million dollar rodeo in Texas. The list goes on and on.

Now coming nine years old, Virgil was raised by Dale Kling, a North Dakota stock contractor. (His dam was a small Appaloosa mare from the late Verne Franklin.) Virgil first went to the Indian Reserve near Browning as a stud, and then to a couple of stock contractors. He was already on MacDonald’s radar — he was looking for a superstar, and he knew Virgil fit the bill.

MacDonald, who keeps stats on all of the top bucking horses in North America and can rattle them off the top of his head like a baseball commentator, knew exactly what Virgil would bring to his phenomenal herd, and he happily paid the price.

“He averages 22.5 pts every trip,” says MacDonald. To the uninitiated, if the cowboy is doing his job too, that translates into 90 pts being the average score. That bears repeating; that’s Virgil’s average.

“He’s the best investment I’ve made in a long time,” says MacDonald. “Virgil and Make Up Face (another C5 superstar) put C5 Rodeo on the map.”

In late October, it was announced that Virgil has also been chosen as the PRCA Bareback Horse of the Year.

Saddle Bronc Horse of the Year 242 GET SMART - Northcott-Macza Rodeo

He has roared out of the chutes at ten CFR’s, a half dozen times at the NFR and now for the fourth time, saddle bronc Get Smart is once again named Saddle Bronc of the Year.

“He’s one of those horses who gets better with age,” says Ward Macza. “He’s had an attitude all year and he gave it his all every time; he never had a “soft” day.”

Macza made a small change for the 2002 son of Northcott’s great stud, Wyatt Earp, and it has had big consequences.

“Last year at the NFR we switched; he’s now right hand delivery.”

There’s been no looking back. For a three-week period this summer, the “perfect storm” of horse and rider was Zeke Thurston and Get Smart.

“Zeke won Ponoka on him, Zeke won Calgary on him and the next weekend Zeke won K-Days Rodeo on him,” says Macza. “But yes, Get Smart just had a stellar year. It sure doesn’t hurt to draw Zeke Thurston either.

“But I’d say the best trip Get Smart had this year, was when Jim Berry drew him at Leduc,” he said. “That’s the rankest trip I’ve ever seen him have. He bucked him off the second jump — and hard. Everybody has trouble bucking Jim Berry off, but he ironed him out. He said it was the hardest he had ever been bucked off.”

The little bay was at seven rodeos this year and his average score ranged from 22 to 23 1/2, he was also marked 24 a couple of times (out of a possible 25 per judge.) “I’m looking for about six more just like him,” laughs Macza.

“He’s a freak of nature. He’s little (about 1,100 lbs) and he’s an exception to the rule, but he makes up for his size with his fight. He has so much heart, so much try and an attitude.

“This is the way I look at it,” says Macza. “A good bucking horse is like a good woman. They’re very few and far between. And on both accounts if you find one, you’d better look after them.”

The B.C. barrel racer bought Ripp along with another horse from Carrie Bloor in southern Alberta, and Pozzobon hasn’t looked back.

“Last year was her first year running pro,” she explained. “The year before she was just start- ed.” In two short years Ripp went pro, earned a berth at the CFR, following that up with season leader of 2017, earned another berth at the CFR and was voted as Barrel Horse with the Most Heart — that’s quite a start.

“She gives me 110 per cent every time,” she said. “When it’s time to make the run she’s ready to go like a missile.”

This will be Ripp’s second appearance in a row at the CFR, and her first time winning this pres- tigious award.

“She tries, with all of her heart, every single run, even if she’s feeling down.”

The duo ran at 38 rodeos and with a home address of Aldergrove (near Vancouver) the amount of miles they pack on in a year are at least twice that of Alberta-based racers.

“That’s the biggest thing, the travelling, that’s what kills them,” says Pozzobon. “I make sure that when she’s at home she stays on grass, and on the road she’s on cubes. I also put her in a Hidez compression suit to combat the vibrations when she’s travelling. That and Equi-Sure, that helps her a lot, to keep her eating and drinking.”

When it comes to favourite rodeos, Pozzobon was quick to answer. “I’d say my favourite rodeo is Ponoka,” she said. “It’s such a big event and you have to trust your horse to work because that first barrel is in the middle of nowhere,” referencing the long run and massive arena. “You have to be ready for them to work because if you’re on their face it’s not going to work.”

Tie-Down Roping Horse of the Year CLYDE - owned by Erik Dublanko

“It’s not an easy thing to win,” says TDR roper Erik Dublanko. “There are some good horses out there.”

He’s speaking about the 2017 Tie-Down Roping Horse of the Year Award won by Erik’s bay gelding, Clyde. At 14.2hh Clyde isn’t the biggest horse in the arena, but for sure he is one of the most consis- tent, earning him the prestigious honour voted on by the other tie-down ropers.

At 13 years old, the bay gelding is in his prime and is classified as a “grade” horse — meaning not registered with any breed association — but that doesn’t affect his reliable performance, and it also didn’t affect his purchase price.

“I bought him from Randall Carlyle,” explains Erik. “He made the NFR this year.” Clyde came out of Lamesa, Texas, north of Odessa. “Me and Randall are pretty good friends,” explains Erik. “In the winter I spend some time at his place. Randall bought Clyde in the spring of 2015; rodeo’d on him and decided to sell him that winter. I bought him in January, 2016 and brought him home in March.”

Home is in the rolling country around Thorsby. The savvy roper knew what he had, and the first thing he did was give Clyde six months off to rest and acclimatize. “This year I started roping off him around the end of March and got him in good shape.” He paused. “We didn’t start the year off too good, but then we started to hit. He worked really good all year; the only reason why we wouldn’t win a cheque is if we drew a bad calf.”

All told, Erik estimates they worked over 70 rodeos this year. “I placed at Wainwright, Ponoka, Williams Lake; the fastest time I recorded this year was 8.2 at Strathmore; splitting 3/4.

“He tries all the time, and he’s got quite the personality,” laughs Dublanko. “I’m proud that he won this — he’s a good horse.”

Steer Wrestling Horse of the Year SMOKE - owned by The Milan Family At 14 hands, Smoke does- n’t exactly tower over the competition, but on his back ride some of Canada’s top steer wrestlers.

The Milan family bought the 18-year-old grade gelding in 2015 from Eldon Day in Oklahoma. “Ever since I got him he’s been a blessing,” says Tanner Milan. “He’s quite the little character.”

This year will be Smoke’s third time to the big show in Edmonton, but he’s been blazing a trail since he crossed the Medicine Line. Ponoka, famous for its long run is a top example. “At Ponoka we did really well on him,” says Milan. “He’s a great all around horse; you can ride him in any set up and he works good. It doesn’t matter; he’s just a little winner.”

Tanner isn’t the only winner on the horse’s back. “Scott Guenthner rode him all this year and we ended up first and second in the standings. Straws (Milan) rode him too; he’s seventh in the standings. Both Scott and I made the National Finals this year on him too. It’s been a very good year for him.”

With Smoke known in the horse world as an easy keeper, Milan laughs as he recounts the quirks of the star player. “He tries to eat anything put in front of him. He steps off the trailer and he doesn’t waste time walking around, he’s head down and grazing.”

To limber Smoke up before a competition, Milan simply leads him from the back of the hazing horse, and eventually lopes a few circles. “He’s kind of funny,” he recounts. “He’s really easy to ride around but as soon as you enter the arena you can damn sure tell. He perks up and he’s into the bridle. He wants to do his job.”

Milan is pleased with the recognition of his peers, voting Smoke in for his first major award. “I’m really proud of him.”

Team Roping Heading Horse of the Year CM Beckwith (Wrangler) - owned by Roland McFadden

“It’s such an honour,” says Roland McFadden, on hearing the news that his horse, Wrangler, was voted as the Heading Horse of the Year. “There are always great horses in rodeo but right now, especially in the team roping, there are so many great ones that to have him voted in is a pretty cool thing.”

It was a clean win. McFadden, the 2015 Canadian Team Roping Header Champion, makes a point of not voting for his own horse. “I always thought, ‘If I ever won this I want it to be completely from my peers.’”

McFadden has had his eye on the 2004 gelding for a while. “Clint Weston took him to the CFR in 2015 and he used to practice here all the time. I’ve always really liked the horse and I got lucky; Clint sold him to me.

“I bought Wrangler last fall after the CFR,” says McFadden. “He hadn’t been ridden since Bruce (Stampede) and I took him to Regina and ever since it’s been great,” he said.

Wrangler and his new partner took to working together right away. “I took him south to Texas and jackpotted all winter down there. But I’ve never ridden a horse so eager to please. He gets himself in a bind because he tries so hard.”

The only part Wrangler needed work on was teaching him to relax. “Down in Texas I’d score thirty steers a day and rope two,” he explained. “Some days I’d only rope the dummy on him. Eventually he began to relax and have confidence in me.”

Some of McFadden and team roping partner Devin Wigemyr’s best rodeos included winning Camrose, Teepee Creek and Jasper, plus some terrific runs at Ponoka, Grande Prairie and the highly-praised new K-Days Rodeo. “That run at K-Days was probably the highlight of the year,” says McFadden. “Not to put aside winning a rodeo, but winning second at K-Days was pretty good.”

Keep an eye out for the big blue bay roan. “He’s definitely the prettiest one of the two of us,” laughs McFadden.

Team Roping Heeling Horse of the Year GLH Frostbite Olena (Rick James) - owned by Jeremy Buhler)

“It’s pretty exciting,” said Jeremy Buhler upon hearing that Rick James, his heeling horse since 2009, has won the coveted award two years running.

“I hauled him pretty much the whole sum- mer,” says Buhler of the sixteen-year-old geld- ing. “He put in a pretty good shift this year.” A good shift equates to 90 rodeos.

To date, perhaps the gelding’s biggest show was at the 2016 WNFR when Buhler rode him to a World Team Roping Heeler Championship. “I rode him in all ten rounds,” he said. Buhler has also ridden Rick James in every CFR he qualified: five – and counting.

The 14.2 hand dun is fit and well looked after. “I don’t hammer on him; he’s always got good feed and grain and I’ll run a handful of steers on him,” said Buhler. “It’s important to keep him fit and in shape that way, rather than really pampering them and letting them sit around. I try to keep him pretty hard.

“He’s got really good bone and for a small horse he wears a size 1 shoe,” continued Buhler. “He’s built to last.”

Fitness, both physical and mental, is vital in any athlete. “To keep him good, in the practice pen I’ll kick through a few times and heel on the third or fourth hop rather than the first hop. But with him it doesn’t matter if it’s the first steer or the thirtieth, he’s going to try and let you win — he’s never looking for the easy way out.

“At Ponoka for the Final Four I knew he was tired; I almost rode a colt but I didn’t want to for the short round so I rode Rick James — and that may have been his best run.” The duo of Simpson and Buhler won the buckles in 6.0.

Of course, Rick James was Buhler’s main mount at the CFR and afterwards he headed to Vegas to defend his World Champion Team Roping Heeler title.
