Pozzi wins the World, Cervi Wins the Average

Only 0.05 of a second kept Lindsay Sears from winning the average and her second world championship. A quick second place run in the the last round moved Sherry Cervi .05 seconds ahead of Sears in the average (who placed 5th in the round). This move by Cervi in the average and and a third place finish in round 10 was enough for Pozzi to secure her second world championship (first with WPRA). Its Vegas ladies and you just don't know how the chips are going to fall until the fat lady sings! What a great barrel race right to the end. I think it was a great example of mental toughness on the part of Brittany, Lindsay and Sherry. Nobody choked to make things happen they way they did, there were no questionable calls. Everyone rode their best, did the best they could and this is how it all worked out in the end. You could sure see why they've all been world champions.

Here are the runs from the 10th and final round:



Here is a quote from the prorodeo.com report on the steer wresting. What a testimony of sportsmanship on the part of WORLD CHAMPION (and Canadian) LEE GRAVES and Luke Branquino. CDN Curtis Cassidy finished behind Graves in the average for second place. OH CANADA! Great job guys!

Drama ensued in the steer wrestling, as two-time World Champion Luke Branquinho lost his grip on his final-round steer while throwing it to the ground, the steer got back up and scurried away with his hopes of a third gold buckle. Branquinho, of Los Alamos, Calif., tried his best, but could not post a time on the steer, opening the door for 2005 World Champion Lee Graves.

Graves, of Calgary, Alberta, clinched his second world title with a 3.5-second run that left him in third place in the round and atop the Wrangler NFR average race. Graves finished with a steer wrestling single-season earnings record of $251,031 after the dust had cleared, while Branquinho was second with $200,186 after falling to eighth in the average with a no-time.

"I feel bad about Luke today," said Graves, who earned an event-best $130,458 in Las Vegas. "He had some bad luck, but he opened the door for me and I capitalized on it. It actually put more pressure on me to go catch my steer and throw him down than actually do something. I hazed here last year, and I was hurt. I was really motivated to get back here. It's been a long road, but I rodeoed really hard this year and got to the top."

Branquinho finished with $87,632 in Wrangler NFR earnings and the thought of what might have been.

"I was proud for Lee," Branquinho said. "He did a good job all week and made good runs. I felt like I was doing the same thing. Unfortunately, it came down to the last steer, and I kind of threw him out of my arms. The judge didn't think I got a hand on him. That's just part of the game. You get calls that go your way and calls that don't. Unfortunately, this one didn't, in my opinion. But I can't take anything away from Lee Graves. He did well all week."

For the complete Championship reports go here

The standings are getting tight.

One more round to go and the World Champions will be crowned! Last night in the barrel racing Cassie Mosely won her second round with Brittany Pozzi second behind her. Pozzi is closing in on the gap between her and Lindsay Sears. Sears leads the average, but Pozzi is in third. Pozzi had regained the lead in the world title with $8750 between them. We will see both girls riding for the win in the last round as it will come down to the last barrel racer to know who wins the 2009 Championship. In either case, both have given it a great go.


The team roping couldn't have been more exciting with two world records broke in one night! Team ropers JoJo LeMond and Randon Adams electrified the audience with a world record 3.4-second run. LeMond and Adams tied the previous world record of 3.5 seconds earlier in the year. Chad Masters and Jade Corkill won the round with a new world record of 3.3 seconds in a night that featured jaw-dropping team roping. Both teams received standing ovations.
Here is a clip of that record breaking run:

In the steer wrestling...
The two-man race for the steer wrestling world title got a considerable amount tighter in Round 9. Reigning and two-time World Champion Luke Branquinho finished second in the round with a 3.5-second run -- Casey McMillen won the round in 3.3 seconds -- to close the gap to less than $900 between himself and 2005 World Champion Lee Graves. Branquinho, of Los Alamos, Calif., earned $13,546 for second place, while Graves' 3.8-second time was good enough for a tie for third place and a $7,280 check.

Heading into the final round, Graves leads the PRCA World Standings with $196,849, and Branquinho is nipping at his heels with $196,039. That $810 difference will be resolved, one way or another, in Round 10, as Branquinho leads the Wrangler NFR average with a 37.5-second total time and Graves ranks third in 41.6 seconds. Branquinho has earned an event-best $83,486 at this year's Wrangler NFR, while Graves has added $76,275 to his season earnings in Las Vegas.
Curtis Cassidy is second in the average.

In the saddle bronc Dustin Flundra took home the second place cheque for riding Frontier Rodeo's Ace of Spades. He has drawn Little Iron from Flying 5 Rodeo for the last round.

Here are a couple interviews. One of Lindsay Sears and one of Brittany Pozzi. It is interesting to hear their take on things and their plans for the future rounds (they were taken after round 8).

Pozzi takes the Round 8 Victory Lap

Duke came back well rested and ready to run. Brittany was first out and her time stayed on top for the rest of the 14 runs behind her. They had a really awesome first barrel. Here is the video of the round 8 runs so you can watch it over and over :o) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IR09R6dhIxA (Pardon the Cat....!?)


I'm not feeling real creative here today so I'm not going to reinvent the wheel. Here are some quotes from a story on Prorodeo.com that should sum up what the scoop is:

Brittany Pozzi, the 2007 world champion barrel racer, won her second round of the 2009 Wrangler NFR by stopping the clock in 13.77 seconds. That was four-hundredths of a second better than Shelley Morgan and brought Pozzi a bit closer to reigning World Champion and world standings leader Lindsay Sears. Sears, of Nanton, Alberta, finished third in the round to earn $10,228 and holds a $4,796 lead over Pozzi in the world standings.

"Tonight was amazing," Pozzi said. "Duke ran great, and it all seemed perfect. Getting a barrel (knocked over in Round 7) did move me down one hole in the average, but it wasn't devastating. I just have to run hard at each round and win. This is really a horse race, and it will come down to the last run. This is what winning a world title is about. It makes it all exciting and fun."

Sears, who has placed in every round and won Rounds 2 and 7, leads the average standings with a total time of 111.0 seconds, while Pozzi is fourth with a 116.6-second total time.

In the Steer Wrestling....
Branquinho, the two-time and reigning world champion, continues to lead the Wrangler NFR average standings with a total time of 34.0 seconds, but finished out of the money in Round 8. That allowed 2005 World Champion Lee Graves to re-take the lead in the PRCA World Standings by taking third place and pocketing $10,228 on Canadian Night at the Wrangler NFR. Graves, who sits third in the average, has $189,569 heading into Round 9, while Branquinho is second with $182,493.

For the rest of this great summary go here

Sears takes over lead

Lindsay Sears took over the World and Average lead last night at the WNFR. Brittany got on Stitch and unfortunately tipped third barrel. She just brushed it on the way in and it went down. She dropped to second in the world (only 1 win away from getting back on top), but still sits 4th in the average. Lindsay has been mighty tight to those barrels herself the last few nights but she just had better luck keeping them up.

Here are the runs:


In the Steer Wrestling Lee Graves had a bad draw and ended up with a steer that dog fell on him. I still got a time of 11.6. Luke Branquino won the round and took over the average. Lee dropped to 4th in the Average. He is now 3000ish behind Luke but will need to have some fast times now to make up the the lost time from this run. Curtis Cassidy placed 4th and is 2nd in the average.

6 Rounds Down, 4 to Go

Jordan Peterson made her first victory lap last night and Sherry Cervi took over the barrel racing average lead by 0.01 of a second. Looks like the top spot could waiver back and forth nightly between Sherry and Lindsay. Brittany is still holding on to 3rd spot. Here is how the average pays out:
First: $43,954 (per man in team roping)
Second: $35,661 (per man in team roping, etc.)
Third: $28,197
Fourth: $20,733
Fifth: $14,928
Sixth: $10,781
Seventh: $7,464
Eighth: $4,147

Here is the video of Tuesday nights barrel racing:

or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94sw0e0JoB4

Lee Graves stayed hot in the steer wrestling. He placed second behind Luke Branquino. Graves is leading the average, Curtis Cassidy second and Branquino third. Graves has a $13,900+ lead on Branquino who is hot on his heels winning last nights round.

Looks like Trevor Brazile has got his game back placing second last night (and first on Monday). He holds on to 8th place in the average having had some long times. Tuf Cooper leads the average but will need a couple of tough times to place high enough in the rounds to take over the world lead (he's currently a $60K behind with Cody Ohl also ahead and placing well in the average).

In the team roping there are only 2 teams that have all 6 steers down. Luke Brown/Martin Lucero and Nick Sartain/Kollin VonAhn there are 1 and 2 in the average respectively. Luke Brown is 2 in the World standings, Sartain #3 both behind Chad Masters who is 12th in the average with 3 NT's. On the heeling end of things Kollin VanAhn is 2nd and Martin Lucero 4th. Jade Korhill (12 in Ave) and Rich Skelton (4th in Ave) in 1 and 3 respectively in the World Standings. Wow - that's confusing....I think that could play out a lot of different ways especially since they don't get a third loop anymore.

Cervi takes another Victory lap

Sherry Cervi and Stingray, won another round last night. The runs keep getting quicker and they keep getting closer to that world record. With 5 rounds to go, I wouldn't be surprised if the record set by Brandie Halls and Slim of 13.52 is broken this year.

Here are the barrel runs from round 5:


Lee Graves also took a back to back victory lap winning another round, keeping on top of both the world and average standings. Curtis Cassidy remains in contention for a big average check sitting 6th in the average (but 47K behind the world leader). Luke Branquino continues to breath down Graves neck, only 17,580 behind in the standings and 4th in the average. Here's a quick audio where Graves refers to the back injury he sustained in round 2 and his plans for moving forward.

Dustin Flundra rode last night but placed 9th on Burch Rodeo's Lunatic Fringe
Calgary Stampede's Lynx Mountain and Fearless Warrior put Isaac Diaz and Taos Muncy in the dirt before the 8 second whistle.

Nine-time World Champion Trevor Brazile and six-time World Champion Cody Ohl split first place in the tie-down roping in Round Five The Texas duo finished with identical marks of 7.1 seconds and won $15,343 apiece.

The brother duo of Riley and Brady Minor recovered from a no-time in the fourth round with a vengeance, winning the fifth performance in 3.8 seconds. That time was eight-tenths of a second faster than Nick Sartain and Kollin VonAhn, who won a share of first place in Round 4.

Graves takes back World lead

A win in round 4 put Lee Graves back on top of the World standings. He also leads the average by .10 at this point. A 5th/6th place for Curtis Cassidy keeps him .10 behind Graves in the Average. Steer Wrestling standings here

Here is Lee's winning run:


Cassie Moseley took the victory lap in the barrel racing for round 4. Here is her winning run:



Here are the rest of the runs (Cassies first gets cut off so I figured I would include both)



The World standings look like this going into round 5:
1 POZZI, BRITTANY $200,095.73
2 SEARS, LINDSAY $186,554.30
3 BURGER, MARY $129,476.04
4 CERVI, SHERRY $111,125.01

The Average looks like this:
Lindsay Sears 55.86/4 1
Sherry Cervi 55.93/4 2
Brittany Pozzi 55.98/4 3
Lisa Lockhart 56.72/4 4
Jordon Peterson 56.80/4 5
Mary Burger 56.99/4 6

Bottom line.....there are 6 runs to make and ANYTHING can happen.

The Saddle Bronc was won on a Canadian Horse last night and so was second place:
1 Jesse Kruse 90.0 Calgary Stampede/Hell''s Half Acre $17,139.42
2 Taos Muncy 88.5 Calgary Stampede/Mata Fact $13,545.67
Unfortunately Dustin Flundra didn't get a score.

Tonight's rodeo will be round 5 marking the half way point of the WNFR. I give these people and their horses so much credit for having the stamina to make all 10 rounds. What a marathon!

Barrel Battle Continues in Round 3

Brittany and Lindsay are still battling it out after the 3rd round. Neither has weakened, and not a mistake has been made. They are so close in the average still as well.

Last night Sherry Cervi and Stingray took the win with Brittany second and Linz third. Here are last nights runs.



The Steer Wrestling remains open for several but the Canadian contingent of Cassidy and Graves are holding their own in both the World Standings and the average.

In the Saddle Bronc Flundra ended the night without a score.

In other news:
The team roping is still wide open as well, here are the headers:
Rank Name City State Earnings
1 Chad Masters Clarksville Tenn. $130,513.40
2 Luke Brown Rock Hill S.C. $128,663.30
3 David Key Caldwell Texas $107,803.75
4 JoJo LeMond Andrews Texas $103,031.76
5 Travis Tryan Billings Mont. $102,642.78
and heelers:
1 Jade Corkill Fallon Nev. $121,041.73
2 Martin Lucero Stephenville Texas $114,210.17
3 Richard Durham Morgan Mill Texas $111,598.25
4 Rich Skelton Llano Texas $107,639.58
5 Randon Adams Logandale Nev. $102,453.84
6 Michael Jones Stephenville Texas $102,023.67
7 Patrick Smith Midland Texas $100,849.98

So many just a few loops away from a win or a loss.

Really, by the looks of it the bull riding seems to be the only event that has a runaway J.W. Harris has $100,000 lead on second. The remaining events are still within reach for many contestants to take over the lead.

WNFR Barrel Racing Video Round 2

(or if you are reading this on the facebook feed go here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7iafJDhnQ9Y)

Lots of great runs. I hope Danyelle's Repete is going to bounce back and getem Saturday night. Looks like Lindsay and Martha got the rust cleaned out and are and the path to many more wins. With Brittany adding a second to her earnings, Linz still trails. Both will be working for solid runs in the future to secure another world championship.

The steer wrestling had a change in the leader board last night with Luke taking over the #1 spot in the world standings. Although there is still a wad of money to be won, the standings currently look like this after last night:
2009 PRCA World Standings - Steer Wrestling
Rank Name City State Earnings
1 Luke Branquinho Los Alamos Calif. $136,327.43
2 Lee Graves Calgary Alberta $125,365.29
3 Jake Rinehart Highmore S.D. $124,472.95
4 Curtis Cassidy Donalda Alberta $114,089.13
5 Shawn Greenfield Lakeview Ore. $86,173.30
6 Trevor Knowles Mount Vernon Ore. $85,016.20
7 Todd Suhn Hermosa $84,387.61
8 Hunter Cure Holliday Texas $81,224.50
9 Dean Gorsuch Gering Neb. $74,075.13
10 Josh Peek Pueblo Colo. $70,052.10

Canadian Saddle Bronc rider Dustin Flundra cashed in last night with a 5th place ride of 80.5. Here's hoping he can keep climbing up the ranks.

In the Round Pen there was mention of the number of Canadian owned horses being bucked at the NFR. I'm not real familiar with the horses so I'm sure to look like a fool commenting on them. If anyone would like to contact me with information or could add to my report each night with a stock report I would be really happy to work with you. Email michelle@rodeoclassifieds.com if you would like to contribute.

Until next round,

NFR Barrel Racing Round 1

Someone taped this and posted it to YouTube. The first 3 girls are missing, but better than what we had. Enjoy

One down, 9 to go - NFR opening night review

Listening live online I was able to catch pieces of the opening night of the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo. I admit I was multi tasking so I didn't listen to every ride in every event.

What I do know is that the barrel racing was a testament to the quality of barrel racing that goes on in Canada and and at the Canadian Finals Rodeo. Many of the girls there spent a good part of June and July going to rodeos in Canada. Three of the girls in the top 5 at the NFR last night were at the CFR! Brittany Pozzi ran her young Palomino horse Duke to win the first round. She ran him at the CFR and many Canadian rodeos over the summer. You'll see Canada's very own Cowgirl of The Year Rana Walter helping Brittany down the loading area in the video. Rana is down there looking after the horses for Brittany while she focuses on meeting sponsorship commitments.

Here is Brittany's winning run. (Thank you www.rodeoup.com) She was last to go. That may be a good sign in the ground department. Hopefully it will be good for all, top to bottom.



Lindsay ran Martha for a 5th place finish. She will be just getting her warmed up and we'll expect her to get faster and faster with every run. She'll be working really hard at staying in the average since could make or break the next world champion.

Brittany Pozzi 13.94
Shelley Morgan 14.1
Tiffany Fox 14.13
Lisa Lockhart 14.15
Lindsay Sears 14.18
Sheena Robbins 14.24
Sherry Cervi 14.26
Mary Burger 14.33
Jordon Peterson 14.36
Tammy Fischer 14.42
Brenda Mays 14.59
Cassie Moseley 14.7
PJ Burger 19.04
Danyelle Campbell19.31
Sue Smith 19.32

The Canadian contingent were tough in the Steer Wrestling. Curtis Cassidy won the round and Lee Graves placed 4th behind Luke Branquino and Jake Rinehart. All 4 of these cowboys are "just" 9 steers away from a world championship. There are others within reach, but these four are just one placing away (10K and less) from a gold buckle.
Here is Curtis's 3.6 run:


Canadian Saddle Bronc Rider Dustin Flundra rode last night to a 75 but will need a better mount and a better score tonight to get into the money.

I'll keep looking for the full round of barrel racing runs to post, but it doesn't look like our source from last year is posting to youtube like she did last year.

Broken Bones and Break Neck Speeds at Ponoka Stampede

News Courtesy of CPRA ~ thank you!

CALGARY, ALTA. – A broken leg wasn’t going to hold Lindsay Sears back. The Nanton, Alta. cowgirl, who fractured the fibula in her left leg in High River two weeks ago, got a mold fitted for the leg, brought her championship barrel horse Martha up from Texas, and proceeded to win the first go-round in the ladies barrel racing at the Ponoka Stampede.

Her time of 16.93 seconds is thought to be the fastest weave around the barrels in the event’s 73 years.

She placed fourth in the finals, but wowed the crowd with an impressive
first place time in the showdown. Sears also placed first in the aggregate, picking up nearly $17,000 for her efforts at the Ponoka, Alta. rodeo, one of western Canada’s biggest rodeos.

And with rodeo season’s busiest few weeks just getting started, Sears also kept her commitments to the Airdrie Pro Rodeo and the Williams Lake Stampede, occurring the same weekend. But, a time of 16.37 seconds in Airdrie, Alta. wasn’t enough to get in on the money, and a knocked barrel in Williams Lake, B.C. tipped over any chances of earnings there.

She made up for it at the Reno Rodeo in Nevada. Arriving at the “Wildest, Richest Rodeo in the West” on crutches, Sears was bound and determined to finish what she started after winning the first go-round two days before her accident. She won that championship round and the average, and the more than $12,000 that went with it.

She is set to compete next week at the Calgary Stampede before taking a doctor-ordered rest for at least two weeks after re-injuring her leg at a rodeo in Colorado earlier this week.

“I’m back at square one and my doctor told me they’ll get me ready for Calgary, but after that I’m going to have to take a couple of weeks off,” Sears announced.

Please visit www.rodeocanada.com for a complete list of unofficial results for the Ponoka Stampede, Airdrie Pro Rodeo and Williams Lake Stampede, as well as the latest Canadian standings.

Mine That Bird Hits Traffic Jam

Mine That Bird didn't find the same opening he did in the Kentucky Derby but still came from the back to finish second. Rachel Alexandria won the Preakness.

Here is a good article about the plans for the horses and jockey's for the Beaumont.

Watch the video of the Preakness. Mine That Bird hangs back to make his move....never underestimate someone who sits back and analyzes the situation! I would think they might be a little hesitant about giving him the rail this race. You have to had it to Rachel Alexandria for running strong the whole race. She is the first filly in 85 years to win the Preakness

Awesome Victory for Mine That Bird

This is an awesome video of this past weekends Kentucky Derby winner Mine That Bird. Make sure you watch the video until at least around the 7 second mark. It is so cool to see the horses from a "birds eye view". Jockey Calvin Borel is very emotional and fun to watch. ::Michelle::

In a performance reminiscent of his winning ride aboard Street Sense two years earlier, Calvin Borel hugged the rail throughout then exploded through the stretch to guide Mine That Bird to an improbable 6 3/4-length victory over Pioneerof the Nile in the 135th running of the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs. The victory capped off a memorable weekend for Borel, who also rode Rachel Alexandra to a one-sided triumph in Friday's Kentucky Oaks. (Source DRF)

Cropping and Editing your barrel horse and rodeo horse pictures

Getting a good shot of your horse for sale is a big part of selling your horse. Another part is getting rid of the person waving their arms trying to get the horses ears forward in the picture or to get the dog running past out of the picture. There is a great online cropping and editing program I thought I would share with you. It is called "Picnik" at www.picnik.com
Its pretty straight forward to use, but you could go to YouTube and search picnik resizing, picnik cropping or just picknik and get some really great "how to" videos. In the example picture I made above, I'm just showing you the neat things you can do...I should have done a better job of cropping in this particular picture, but the point was you can do more than just crop and resize with picnik.


It is a good idea to make your digital pictures smaller before emailing them off to prospective buyers so you don't back up their email. It is also more professional.

If you would like a cool free program you can download to your computer and use offline I highly recommend Irfanview.
Here is a link to an older post where I show you how to use Irfanview, I cropping tool I use every day with a YouTube video that I made. I'm pretty sure I don't really sound like that!?

Enjoy cropping and resizing those pictures!

Great site for equine legal topics

I have come across this site many times and often sent people to it for their horse buyers checklist. I think it is a great resource site for any horse owner (or soon to be owner) and especially those in any horse business or just buying or selling their first horse. The site name is: Equine Legal Solutions

There is a lot of FREE information and articles on the site on various topics including buying and selling,breeding, boarding, defamation in the horse world, and much more. You will find a great checklist for buying a horse under buying and selling. Great questions to ask a seller.

They do sell forms for boarding trailering and training etc. and offer consultations.

The biggest reason I wanted to share this with you is so that you have a good legal reference on the Internet. I hope you enjoy and appreciate the information the sites owner has provided for us.
