The motivation for traveling from Amarillo to Vernon was to document a young bull rider who had just graduated from Clarendon College and would be competing in his first PRCA rodeo as a professional bull rider during the Santa Rosa Roundup Rodeo. The Rodeo Committee told me I would not be allowed to film during the rodeo because I needed a PRCA license to do so. I have documented a number of PRCA in the past and have always followed PRCA media rules and local rodeo committee rules so this was a big disappointment for the young bull rider and myself.
Well, I wasn't about to travel 350 miles with nothing to show for it so I decided to visit two museums which resulted in hosted tours you can view in the links below, and uncovered two more stories!

I revisit Sturges again since the early eighties when I rode up from the festivities at the XIT Rodeo And Reunion on my Harley Davidson Sportster. An awful lot has changed since those days and I managed to document some sights and sounds.

My maternal great-grandparents settled on a homestead in the late 1800s within 15 miles of Big Timber. I rolled into town in August of 2022 mainly to revisit locations known since childhood and dig up some family history. Little did I know that I would spend a week exploring the area. I came away with new memories, documents, photos, and videos.

The annual rodeos are hosted by the Will Rogers Range Riders located in Amarillo Texas at their own facilities. I have documented a number of different rodeos in the arena as well. I will share a few video clips below from some of the actions going on during the annual events and others. I do not have a playlist for all the videos but you can see most of them listed under this hashtag. #WRRR
Here is some Steer Wrestling action in 2018.

Dalhart has a long history in the middle of farm and ranch country. I won't go into all the details for now but I will put a few links to resources for more information and videos available for you to watch.
