Remembering my old hometown rodeo taking place this weekend in Santa Barbara. Taken 51 years ago when Ace & I were a young 26 years old. Old Spanish Days, Fiesta Rodeo. Good times. 🤠

Westyn thought he could catch my sister's pet goat by just running after him. Sorry Westyn, those goats know to stay away from anyone with a rope, even if you thought you'd just tie him.

Sweet ride to "my office."
Vince Rosenberry showed up at the ranch in this beauty so we jumped in and went for coffee.

After 18 years, I returned to Hawaii to conduct a team roping & breakaway clinic. Back in the day, (as Leo used to say), we put on a lot of schools over there and made a lot of good friends. It was bittersweet to be there without Leo but we felt his presence and strolled down memory lane and shared lots of laughs.
There were 30 young cowboys & Cowgirls in attendance and some had never held a rope. It was roping 101! Lots of fun.
I'd like to thank the Hawaii High School Rodeo Assn Oahu District & the Lazy L Ranch for sponsoring the clinic. Also the beautiful Kualoa Ranch where the clinic was held. Special thanks to Robert & Kathy Rita & family for their hospitality and long time friendship. I know Robert was missing those long conversations he had with Leo. I just couldn't stay awake and nodded off on him! 😴 Much Aloha to all. 🌴🍍🏝🤠🦁

NFR Round 10! It's been bittersweet without Leo to "quarterback" it all with me but exciting nonetheless. CowboyChannel you have all done an outstanding job and I appreciate all your hard work to bring rodeo into our living rooms.
Wishing all good luck tonight and safe travels back home.

I'll never forget what it feels like being at the NFR.

Thanks Kendra Santos for allowing me to contribute to your story. Oakdale is my home and will always hold fond memories of when it was indeed the Cowboy Capital of the World. In my heart, it still is.

Some still enjoy bantering back and forth about the great debate over Cowboy Capital of the World bragging rights. That seems silly to those of us who’ve been around long enough to have seen the shift play out. For us, there’s no need to argue. There are cultural and financial factors at the roo...
