SAN LUIS OBISPO, CA – Hello, ropers and friends. It’s been a long time since I’ve sat down to write any news. As for our WSTR at the Madonna Inn on July 14-16, it was GREAT! It seems like we’re back on track to the way things “used to be” and that goes for lots of things, not just roping. Our ropings, our economy, our new president, etc. I’m very optimistic about the way everything’s going these days.

SIERRAVILLE, CA – The 10th Annual Steve Maddalena Memorial Team Roping took place on August 5th and 6th. As always, a good time was had by all. Trucks and trailers started rolling in on Friday afternoon and as the ropers pulled in, you could tell right away, this roping would be one for the record books. The weather was picture perfect and everyone that showed up, showed up with a smile.
