NFR  OR Bust!

 

 

 

                               

 

Marty Hebb was traveling to the Cajun Classic ProRodeo in Crowley, Louisiana today as I spoke with him.  He was sounding a little tired but said he enjoyed the chat.    I encouraged Marty to "Hold his Head up" and do the best he could as "Good Draws" permit.  Marty has allot of support and fans out here in Indian Country hoping he makes the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo.   After Marty leaves Crowley Louisiana  he is headed to Leesville Louisiana, for the Leesville Lions Club rodeo "Knock on Wood" recruiting some wins and vying to 15th hole or higher to get to Vegas. 

 

 I asked Marty what rodeo was the most memorable this year and he mentioned that the Cheyenne Frontier Days in July was the most memorable; and that is is one of the Biggest rodeos in America.  Marty drew up extremely well at Cheyenne this summer  placing fourth in the average at this prestigious rodeo, Hebb added that the horses he drew gave him the wins...  I think Hebbs ultimate record as the INFR World Champion speaks for itself .  Marty gives allot of credit to his riding abilities to Tom Miller.  Tom Miller was a runner up in the PRCA twice. Hebb said Tom taught me the basics of Rodeo and how to be a consistent Saddle Bronc Rider.  Another one I'd like add to my achievers is Billy Etbauer.  Billy has a style that you just cant beat!

 

Marty's spirits are up, and his health is great.   Marty chuckles.. Not much bothers me,  at least I try not to let it,  and I'm all not really a superstitious person..   I guess, I just don't lay my hat on the bed.  Hebb went on to say that and he missed the INFR this year, and his friends and hoped he could make more Indian rodeos next year to make the final INFR Finals next year.  Marty is following his ultimate dream of ProRodeoing and making it "Big" as he grasps some "Swells" in his Bronc Saddle to reach his rodeo endeavors.  Marty is just a little out of the money for making the NFR in Las Vegas.  After Hebb leaves Crowley, And Leesville Louisiana Marty is driving home to spend a day or two at home before he  catches his plane to fly out to Glen Falls, NY for the Adirondack Stampede Charity Rodeo.  Marty we want to see some mane hair raked off in your spurs and hear the back of your cantle singing.... Go get em Cowboy!

 

 Marty Hebb-  We at Indian Rodeo News wish you the Best of Luck!  And  we'll see you in Las Vegas!!
