Roping Director Update As you know, this year the WPRA Board added an additional Roping Director to better serve the membership and to manage the ever-increasing number of breakaway rodeo approvals. Earlier this year, Christi Braudrick and Lynn Smith were elected to serve in these positions. With 2 roping Directors serving you, the decision was made to break the US into 2 regions. Each region has a similar member concentration as well as work with the connections that each Director has with stock contractors and rodeo committees. Christi Braudrick will oversee the following circuits: Texas, Prairie, Badlands, Great Lakes, First Frontier and Southeastern Lynn Smith will oversee these circuits: Turquoise, Mountain
Thought of the Month We cannot force Someone to hear a Message they are not Ready to receive.
But we must never Underestimate The power of Planting a seed!
States, Montana, Columbia River, Wilderness and California As always, please reach out to the WPRA office, Directors or spokeswomen with any questions you may have.
Did you Know Controlling environmental dust in your horse’s breathing zone is important for your horse’s health.
“Surround yourself with people who fight for you in rooms you aren’t in.”
Horses with no known history of airway disease respond with mild-moderate airway inflammation when challenged with moldy hay/stable dust situations, and over time it can impact your horse’s health and performance.
