The Voice

Bob Tallman, known as the voice of rodeo, has piled up 12 Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association Announcer of the Year awards and has announced the National Finals Rodeo a record 23 times. With such success and talent, you might assume his climb to the top was straight and easy. And you would be wrong.

Fifty years ago, “I had a Ford truck with a little shell camper and an eight-track cassette player. Kristen (his wife, who was then a newlywed) and I would program music in eight-second intervals and 20-second intervals, the national anthem, all that kind of stuff,” Bob says. A friend bought the couple some speakers, a mixing board and a $26 microphone. On the morning of a rodeo, Bob would hook his sound system up to the cigarette lighter in his truck and “go down the streets and announce that the rodeo was going to start at whatever time and to come on out.”

Bob and Kristen have delved into ranching and roughstock, but spinning stories behind a microphone was always Bob’s main focus. Now, at 74 and living on a 300-acre ranch in Poolville, Texas, Bob is perhaps the most settled he has ever been.

Maybe this is why I graze all day? Lol

Unlike humans, horses are designed to run on a full stomach. Feeding your horse 2-3L of chaff or a biscuit of hay prior to exercise has two benefits :
1️⃣ The chaff will form a ball of feed in the stomach, which will help prevent acid from splashing up from the lower part of the stomach to cause gastric ulcers.
2️⃣ Blood is normally diverted away from the stomach during exercise, which reduces some of its normal protective mechanisms. Research has shown that feeding your horse before exercise actually reduces the amount of blood that is shunted away from the stomach and also increases the amount of blood delivered to the skeletal muscles and muscles of the chest. So not only are you helping to protect the stomach, you also might be improving your horse’s performance.
