Skippy is the newest addition to the Rempel household! He is a Sheltie that we acquired from some neighbors, the Schaum's, of Power.   He keeps Tuffy entertained and is so far fitting in well… He traveled this year to Calgary, Caldwell and Ellensburg.

Crickett made his pickup debut this year and did pretty good. He "tied up" at the first Calgary Stampede performance but I think it was mostly a case of nerves, and came out of it fine. Rainbow spent the winter at home but was called back into service with Gary's brother Wade needed a horse for the summer; he went with Gary to the northwest and at 21 years old, is headed to the Canadian Finals Rodeo and the National Finals Rodeo.

"Sully" is Gary's newest pickup prospect but has a ways to go. He is a big stout horse and should do good once he gets bucking off of his mind!

Hat Bender - When a horse or bull that doesn not buck and just runs around the arena. Hazer - This is the cowboy that rides on the opposite side of the steer and keeps the stock from running away from the steer wrestler's horse. Head Thrower - This is a bull that tries to hit the cowboy with his head or horns while the contestant is on his back. Hooey - This is the knot used by calf ropers to hold the wraps used to tie three of the stock's feet together after the calf has been thrown. Also known as a half-hitch to most people outside of rodeo. I.P.R.A. - Stands for International Professional Rodeo Association. Kack - Term used to describe the saddle used by saddle bronc riders.

Legal catch - A team roping term. The header must catch the steer around the horns, head, or neck. This is commonly referred to as a fair catch. Measure the Rein - Term used in saddle bronc riding. The length of the rein from the horse's head, in an upright position, to the rear of the well on the saddle. Then you measure from there depending on how much the horse drops its head while bucking. When asked how much rein the bronc needs, the answer is usually something like three fingers and a thumb.

Neck Rope - This is a rope that is affixed to an animal's neck in the timed events. It is used to trip the barrier in front of the contestant to assure the animal a head start.
