The Pendleton Round-up starts with a "Big Cannon ball Shooting". Out of each bucking shoot all the Rodeo Court are introduced! Its a fast and exciting opening ceremony. While watching the rodeo the drums are beating in the distance... Its the Indian Village right behind the Main Grand Stand. After the Opening ceremonies are completed... A "Cow bell" is rang to seperate the events! "That Bell"... It gave me "Goose Bumps" ..Many years ago my family would bring race horses to run at the Pendleton Round-up, as did many tribes from the Pacific Northwest.. In the past you would show up at the gate to approach onto the track and you would enter and race. Today you have to pre-enter and belong to a Indian Relay Racing organization from Montana... Times have changed! . "Back to that Cow Bell"... I can remember getting those "Butterflies" right before my father would lead me to the track... Whoa.... Now... Were going to be flying down that stretch as the "Shot gun is shot"... Ohh... the good Ol days... I wouldn't change my past jockeying days for anything... There are still the Indian Relay Races left as a Native American event at the Pendleton round-up as well as the Happy Canyon Pageant.... You just have to experience the Pendleton Round-Up just once in your "Life".

The finale of the Rodeo turned to be a "Pleasant Result". I am proud to congratulate Cash Meyers Cash-"Cashed In the Paychecks this year! Congratulations Cash! I spoke a little on Clint Bruised Head's competition at Pendleton this year, Clint wrestled a steer setting him in sixth spot on friday of the Round-up, unfortunatly he was pushed out of the money... Next time Bud... Clint was mounted by 2005 Steer Wrestling Champion-Tommy Cook at the Round-up. I called Bruised Head and he was telling me I missed Lyman Colliflower and his cousin- steer wrestling at the Round-up Sorry Guys! Congratulations CHAMPIONS and Good Luck at the Qwest Pace Picante' Rodeo! Take Care and Be safe ya'll!

Texans Capture First in Bull Riding and Barrel Racing in Friday's Performance of the 95th Annual Pendleton Round-up

Pendleton, Oregon--Texan Kelly Kaminski, one of the nation’s top-ranked barrel riders, captured first place today at the 95th annual Pendleton Round-Up rodeo as did fellow Texan, Clayton Foltyn, riding a bull named Broken Bone. The rodeo will wrap up its final day of competition Saturday, with the top 12 finishers over the past three days in eight events vying for the prestigious rodeo’s big-money prizes.

Foltyn, currently ranked 12th in the world standings for bullriding, took his win in stride.

“I knew I had a good bull in Broken Bone and I was excited about it all week. He’s a bunch of fun. I just got up on him and did my job. Tomorrow I’ll just come back and see if it all works out.”

The win today gave Foltyn a share of the $28,015 purse for the bullriders. If he can win on Saturday he’s in line for a lot more. Kaminski has already earned over $2,000 and will also add much more depending on the outcome of Saturday’s contest.
