  • The Following Event Descriptions Are Presented for Your Edification and Clarification on What Is Being Represented and Celebrated in Bronze for Our Champions
    The following event descriptions are presented for your edification and clarification on what is being represented and celebrated in bronze for our champions. RODEO: Saddle Bronc Riding Saddle Bronc has been a part of the Calgary Stampede since 1912. Style, grace and rhythm define rodeo’s “classic” event. Saddle Bronc riding is a true test of balance. It has been compared to competing on a balance beam, except the “apparatus” in rodeo is a bucking bronc. A saddle bronc rider uses a rein attached to the horse’s halter to help maintain his seat and balance. The length of rein a rider takes will vary on the bucking style of the horse he is riding – too short a rein and the cowboy can get pulled down over the horse’s head. Of a possible 100 points, half of the points are awarded to the cowboy for his ride and spurring action. The other half of the points come from how the bronc bucks and its athletic ability. The spurring motion begins with the cowboy’s feet over the points of the bronc’s shoulders and as the horse bucks, the rider draws his feet back to the “cantle’, or back of the saddle in an arc, then he snaps his feet back to the horse’s shoulders just before the animal’s front feet hit the ground again. Bareback Riding Bareback has also been a part of the Stampede since 1912. In this event, the cowboy holds onto a leather rigging with a snug custom fit handhold that is cinched with a single girth around the horse – during a particularly exciting bareback ride, a rider can feel as if he’s being pulled through a tornado.

  • Trunk Contents
    Trunk Contents Hands-on Items Bandana – Bandanas, also known as "snot rags," came in either silk or cotton, with the silk being preferred. Silk was cool in the summer and warm in the winter and was perfect to strain water from a creek or river stirred up by cattle. Cowboys favored bandanas that were colorful as well as practical. With all the dust from the cattle, especially if you rode in the rear of the herd (drag), a bandana was a necessity. Shirt - The drover always carried an extra shirt, as 3,000 head of cattle kicked up a considerable amount of dust. The drovers wanted a clean shirt available on the off- chance that the cowboy would be sent to a settlement (few and far between) to secure additional supplies. Crossing rivers would get your clothes wet and cowboys would need a clean and dry shirt to wear. Many times they just went into the river without shirt and pants. For superstitious reasons many cowboys did not favor red shirts. Cuffs - Cuffs protected the cowboy's wrist from rope burns and his shirt from becoming frayed on the ends. Many cuffs were highly decorated to reflect the individual's taste. Students may try on these cuffs. 1 Trunk Contents Long underwear – Cowboys sometimes called these one-piece suits "long handles." They wore long underwear in summer and winter and often kept them on while crossing a deep river, which gave them a measure of modesty. Long underwear also provided extra warmth. People usually wore white or red "Union Suits" in the West.

Given the absolutely abhorrent conditions that are currently plaguing your city and entire state, your efforts should be attempting to figure out your homeless problem!! Communication from Public Name: Date Submitted: 05/17/2021 01:38 PM Council File No: 20-1575 Comments for Public Posting: Please Do NOT Ban Rodeo and Bull Riding in Los Angeles! This ordinance is unnecessary – PBR already takes great care of the bulls!! - The health and safety of the animals in bull riding is paramount. These animal athletes get the best care and live a great life – extending four to five times as long as the average bull. - PBR stock contractors make their living by breeding, training, and working with their animal athletes. They truly love these animal athletes, treat them as a member of their own family, and have many safeguards in place to ensure their care. - The bulls in PBR are not wild animals forced to compete – they’re bred and trained for their jobs. Bulls buck because of their genetics. They are not abused or coerced to compete. The flank straps and dull spurs used in PBR do NOT harm the bulls. - In addition to bringing millions of dollars of economic impact to LA, bull riding teaches important values like hard work, charity, respect, responsibility, and honesty. The sport is inclusive and promotes equality.

  • Spurs by Unknown the Spurs Shown in the Photograph Above Were Probably Made in the Late Nineteenth Century
    Spurs By Unknown The spurs shown in the photograph above were probably made in the late nineteenth century. They are currently on display in the award-winning “Oregon My Oregon” exhibit at the Oregon Historical Society. The history of spurs goes back thousands of years. Ancient and early medieval spurs had a single protruding point called a prick that was used to goad a horse into action by poking its sensitive belly. By the late Middle Ages the prick spur had been supplanted in western Europe by a new kind of spur called the rowel spur. Instead of single immovable prick, the rowel spur has a rotating spiked wheel called a rowel. Both types of spurs were among the emblems of knighthood in medieval Europe. Spanish conquistadores are often credited with introducing spurs to the Americas. The conquistadors’ spurs, known as the espuela grande, or “great spur,” were typified by very large rowels. These distinctive spurs are still in use in many parts of Latin America. Like many elements of cowboy culture, spurs were brought to the western United States by Mexican vaqueros in the mid-nineteenth century. The Mexican, or Vaquero, spur evolved into several different types in the United States during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The spurs shown in the photograph above are in the California style. Unlike Texas spurs, the shanks and heel bands in California spurs are separate pieces. This two-piece construction is the most distinctive feature of the California style. California spurs probably came to Oregon with the first Californio vaqueros in the mid-nineteenth century.

  • Saddlery Inspectionsinspections
    SaddlerySaddlery InspectionsInspections Rules and Procedures for Ring Stewards to conduct Saddlery Inspections in Dressage classes at USEF/USDF competitions March 2013 1 SaddlerySaddlery InspectionsInspections Competition management must appoint a sufficient number of ring stewards to carry out the following duties: Communicate with the warmup steward and announcer, so that competitors can be kept informed as to who is “on deck” and whether the ring is running on time. Check saddlery and equipment, and the horse, after the specified number of rides. Inform judges of any delays or other concerns. Radio for help for ring repairs or emergencies, as directed according to the Accident Preparedness Plan. Depending on the layout, number of rings and other factors, more than one ring steward may be appointed to share these duties. 2 SaddlerySaddlery InspectionsInspections Ring stewards must check saddlery and inspect bits and spurs on both sides of the horse for at least one- third of the horses in each class. In some classes, inspection is required for each horse. Inspection of saddlery and bits should be done at the direction of the Technical Delegate. 3 SaddlerySaddlery InspectionsInspections Management must provide (preferably latex free) disposable protective gloves, at least one per horse. (While one glove is required for USEF competitions, two are required for FEI competitions – and two are recommended for USEF competitions.) The rider should see the inspector put on a fresh glove. Inspection is done immediately after the performance ride. At no time should the horse, spurs or other equipment be touched with an “ungloved” hand, as the glove provides protection against the spread of disease.

  • The Finer Points of Rodeo Events: How to Keep Score with the Judges
    THE FINER POINTS OF RODEO EVENTS: HOW TO KEEP SCORE WITH THE JUDGES For Immediate Release Surrey, British Columbia – As Canada’s second largest rodeo payout and one of the most popular rodeos on the professional tour, the Cloverdale Rodeo is proud to draw the top athletes in the sport today. Featuring saddle bronc, bareback and bull riding, as well as ladies barrel racing, the Cloverdale Rodeo is one of the most exciting and fastest paced in the world of pro rodeo. Each of the four events featured at Cloverdale is unique, with its own rules, techniques and scoring. In addition to all the other factors that come into play, a winning score is determined by both the cowboy’s and the animal’s performance. In the roughstock events (bareback, saddle bronc and bull riding) the horse or bull accounts for half of the score. Barrel racing contestants depend on their horses to assist them in a good run. As with any sport, it is to the spectator’s advantage to recognize what judges are looking for in any ride or run. 1) Saddle Bronc Riding Timing and control are the definitive factors in scoring saddle bronc riding. A rider who synchronizes his spurring action with the animal’s bucking efforts will receive a high score. Other factors considered in the scoring are the cowboy’s control throughout the ride; the length of his spurring stroke and the length of the ride - a perfect rodeo ride is eight seconds. Model spurring action begins with the rider’s feet far forward on the bronc’s point of shoulder sweeping to the back of the saddle, or “cantle”, as the horse bucks.

  • Communication from Public
    Communication from Public Name: Kathy Cullen Date Submitted: 07/26/2021 09:13 PM Council File No: 20-1575 Comments for Public Posting: Many animals are injured and even killed in rodeos. Animal cruelty investigators are only able to attend a very small percentage of rodeos each year. Therefore, only a very small percentage of injuries or deaths are documented. More importantly, as the record below shows, rodeos frequently try to cover up animal injuries and even deaths. Injuries ranging from minor to life threatening may not be immediately visible, especially from the distance of the bleachers. These injuries may include sprains, broken bones, muscle pulls, saddle blisters, spur and flank strap wounds. Essentially, if the animal doesn't drop dead in front of the bleachers, the audience usually doesn't know anything is wrong. Also, in the last few years, rodeos are banning video and in some cases even still cameras from their events in an effort to thwart documentation of rodeo cruelty, and the resulting injuries and deaths. Please be sure the ban that was voted on STAYS in place for the safety of the animals that don't have a choice! Communication from Public Name: Elvia Sedano Date Submitted: 07/26/2021 05:47 PM Council File No: 20-1575 Comments for Public Posting: Dear Council Members, I want to request to please ban Rodeos/Charreadas, there is plenty documentation that shows animals can be and have been severely injured. These events have been taking place for too long and it is time to evolve and end animal cruelty, these animals are subjected to pain and forced to perform with instruments that cause pain all for greed, please ban Rodeos/Charreadas.

  • Los Cuernos Largos
    Los cuernos largos (Longhorns) de Texas La resistente raza de ganado conocida como cuernos largos de Texas desciende del ganado andaluz español traído por exploradores, misioneros y ganaderos a principios del siglo XVI. En el siglo XVIII, las misiones españolas mantenían grandes rebaños de ganado domesticado, que proporcionaban comida, ropa y otros productos tanto a los españoles como a los nativos americanos.
