On Tuesday
May 20th, I am holding a MOLLY POWELL SADDLE RACE, at O'Keefe Ranch in
Vernon, in conjunction with our Molly Powell Clinic. Molly is a 10x WORLD
QUALIFIER (NFR) AND THE 2004 WORLD CHAMPION! The WINNER OF EACH "D” WILL GO
INTO A DRAW FOR THE SADDLE. She has just recently had these saddles designed
and built by LARRY COATES, of COATES SADDLERY. There will also be prizes for
the other winners of the "D’s”! Come out and meet MOLLY and support our
BCBRA! AND COME WIN A SADDLE!!! Watch for the details listed under
approved races.
See you down
the road...

Note to all Members
Since Rodeo
Connection is fairly new to BC, let’s help spread the word and talk to your
local tack and feed stores about carrying their newspaper. They are easy to
contact either by phone 403-507-4148, or by visiting their website at
www.rodeoconnection.com . I’m sure either Shannon or Robin would be glad
to hear from new stores.
