OAKDALE BARRELS continued from page 25

“We hit a lot of barrels indoors this winter,” said Lockhart, who is nearing the $3 million mark for career earnings. “You get to questioning yourself. Winning Oakdale is absolutely a confidence builder. “To have everything fall together is very gratifying.” Lockhart followed the win at Oakdale by earning almost $5,000 at Red Bluff, California. “Obviously, Red Bluff treated us pretty good,” she said. She also had Clovis, California and Springville, California on her rodeo itinerary. The money helped her move from 40th to 23rd in the WPRA world standings as May approached. Lockhart hauled four horses during her three-month road trip, including her 11-year-old black gelding Cutter (Prime Diamond) and two younger horses she ran in jackpots when the schedule permitted. “It’s crazy,” Lockhart said about live on the road. On the upside on being far from home, Lockhart and her horses were in California when severe snowstorms swept through South Dakota, North Dakota and Montana. “Didn’t hurt my feelings,” she said with a chuckle. “But I was accused of bringing cold weather to California. They had unheard of cold temperatures.” Lockhart pointed her rig and horses toward home after Springville, planning to enjoy the final high school rodeo season for her youngest son Cade who graduates this year. “I haven’t been to Reno in 25-plus years. It’s a thought,” she said of entering. “But it’s always over the top of our state high school rodeo. “Winning Oakdale just gives you a peace of mind. To get some money won. It’s really hard sometimes but when you get to do something, go do it.” “I might do some small jaunts but not much,” she said. Lockhart plans to return to the rodeo road in June.

It was a big decision to go all the way to California for Lisa Lockhart, who calls South Dakota home, but she wanted to give Rosa the opportunity to run at some of the big outdoor pens that she enjoys so much. While Lockhart had never been to Oakdale, California, Rosa loves the wide open arena and carried Lisa to the winner’s circle. Photo by Click Thompson
