    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.
