If you ever want rodeo equipment go to a College town that has a college rodeo team--then keep checking the pawnshops- you can find some really good equipment ---cheap, cheap...

I must have a half dozen bareback riggings, dozen sets of assorted bull riding, bareback or bronc spurs, bullropes and bells, a couple saddles and chaps, pads, halters I have loaned out to high school and kids starting out-- most were picked up for a dime on a dollar at pawn shops-- all I ask from them is they give them back if they quit or get better equipment- so I can keep outfitting kids... I can remember back 40 years ago trying to rivet and sew my own stuff together because I couldn't afford it......

I was extremely proud the other day when the kid hung up his bareback rigging after 20 years and gave it to a high school sophmore- but told him when he was done with it to give it to me so someone can continue to use it..... Very Happy

You are a pretty awesome guy, OT. What a neat thing to do, helping the kids out like you have.

Nope- I Just remember what learning by hard knocks and living off tube steaks was for years- and then the help ( Benny and John Reynolds, Ed Solomon, Jack Bloxham, Larry Kane, etc. etc.) and the opportunity rodeo gave me in college and the chance to see much of the nation, I would never otherwise have saw- and I want to see a lot of kids stay involved in rodeo- even those that may not have the ranch background but have the try...

Couldn't have said it better OT
I sure miss the friday evenings throwing my bag in the truck and hauling to the rodeo
Wouldn't have traveled much here if it were not for the rodeo and the army
I wouldn't trade it for the world.

1800(661)7939 and ask for Steward. He generally has a few second hand ones kicking around. Not sure if he has any right now but its worth a phone call. He is in AB and they do mail order all the time.

I'm not familiar with those girls bare saddles- is this a Canuck thing I missed Wink Say what?

the closest I saw was when we were back east and a bunch of Montreal girls showed up at Woodstown- "pretended" they couldn't speak English- but got their point across that they wanted to sit on our horses as we were waiting for the dogging to start-- all wearing very short short skirts...As the first was helped to swing aboard it became apparent that Montreal girls were too poor to buy undies, which almost caused a fist fight for positioning horses to watch the others swing aboard Wink

Not a dogger caught a steer that night- but these young ladies were nice enough to stay around and give us french lessons- and you know cowboys, they'll help out any lady in distress Wink Laughing Laughing

Ohh he's a pretty good scout about getting his work done too-we've already had the 'rodeo bum doesn't look good on a resume' talk lol. The funniest thing was him telling me he when he was 11 he was going to build the town a new rink with his steer riding winnings.
