    Cowgirl Martha Josey

    Cowgirl Martha Josey BY AIMEE ROBINSON 3/1/2014 IN MAGAZINE Starting with only a lot of heart, dedication and a $5 rented horse trailer, a cowgirl from East Texas made history. Martha Josey began her barrel-racing career in 1964. More than five decades of her life are filled with championships and hall-of-fame inductions. This 11-time National Finals Rodeo competitor and 1988 Olympic exhibition sport medalist hangs her hat at the Josey Ranch in Marshall. Martha’s family has deep roots in East Texas. She is the granddaughter of Mattie Castleberry, who is famous for putting in nightclubs around Texas and Oklahoma oil boomtowns. Martha’s father, Robert Arthur, is credited with bringing one of the first quarter horses into East Texas in the early 1940’s. “When I was 10 years old, he (father) passed away from a heart attack. Mother ended up selling all of those great horses except for one. She didn’t know what else to do.” After watching barrel racing competition at a rodeo in Shreveport, Martha realized that being a barrel racer was her dream. “This is where I belong. I went home and got my dad’s roping saddle out, put one barrel in the middle of my grandmother’s meadow and decided I was going to be a barrel racer.” Not long after that, a friend who had purchased a 3-year-old from of her father’s stud horse called to see if she wanted to ride him in competition. Martha didn’t have a trailer, and she didn’t have a car, but her mother had an old Buick with 300,000 miles on it.

For the second year in a row, the WNFR pays a record $10 mil- lion and the barrel racers are running at an amazing $1.1 million. The huge boost in prize money led to 5 barrel racers winning over $100k & 8 barrel racers winning more than $80k at the 2015 WNFR. This was the toughest year in history to make the WNFR in bar- rel racing, in fact it took a record $79,068 just to make the Finals, this was almost $20k more than in 2015. On top of that, world leader Mary Burger became the all time regular season earnings record holder and became the 3rd barrel racer to wear the #1 on her back with her $190,977 in 2016 earnings (others are Charmayne James, 1987, Sherry Cervi, 1995). So it really was a record breaking year in 2016. On that note, Mary Burger will set another record when she runs down the alley Thursday night as being the oldest NFR contestant (either male or female) at 68 yrs old.

    A Little Bit About Canadian Cowboys Association

    A Little Bit About Canadian Cowboys Association The Canadian Cowboys Association (CCA) was founded in 1963 The CCA’s mission is to promote the sport of rodeo, and is committed to attracting new cowboys and cowgirls, increasing the number of spectators and attracting the media to the tradition and heritage of rodeo and the families that make up the Canadian Cowboys Association. the CCA started out with 60 members, and sanctioned 15 rodeos its first season. The very first rodeo approval went to the Sandhill Roping Club in Lancer, Saskatchewan. Annually, the CCA sanctions more rodeos than any other association, pro or semi-pro. Community rodeos, Today, the Canadian Cowboys Association has grown to be the largest semi-pro rodeo association in Canada. Sanctioning over 50 rodeos with memberships rising to over 1,000, the CCA now runs its rodeos throughout Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba. CCA Membership includes members from the Prairie provinces of Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, British Columbia, Montana, Mexico and Australia. It is estimated that just the sport of rodeo, in Canada alone, is attended by more than 1.3 million people nationwide, with the CCA recording over 250,000 attendees at both their sanctioned rodeos throughout the rodeo season, and at the CCA Finals Rodeo in October. The Canadian Cowboys Association Finals Rodeo was once held in conjunction with the Canadian Western Agribition, bringing in over 20,000 spectators to the venue each year.

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.
