SALINAS, CALIF. – The 15th Annual Doyle W. Hoskins Memorial Team Roping and 13th Annual Barrel Race were held July 13th & 14th at the Monterey County Sheriff Posse Grounds in Salinas. It’s hard to believe we have been putting on this Memorial for 15 years. This year was a little extra special as Darrick won one of the saddles. We love being able to celebrate the life of his dad who was so passionate about roping, riding, family, friends, and life. We sure do enjoy having new people come every year and appreciate the continued support from the ol’ faithfuls who have supported us from day one.

TAYLORSVILLE, CALIF. – The Fourth of July roping in Taylorsville once again proved to be a huge success largely due to all the hard work and dedication of the Indian Valley Roping and Riding Club. They succeeded in making this one of the best ropings on the West Coast. Ropers from all over attended this year including two ladies from New Zealand and, like the rest of us, had a wonderful time. Mother Nature cooperated and provided beautiful days, with highs in the 80’s.
