Congrats to Paul David Tierney and Tanner Braiden for winning Team Roping in Houston 2nd night in a row. Tanner is riding Hal Take Some Pepto CCL, a gelding we raised and trained through his five year old year. He’s a Halreycious on the top side and out of our mare Peptomint Patti on the bottom side. He’s a half brother to 2022 Riata Buckle Champion That Bold Pepto CCL. Chris showed Hal as a four year old at the American Rope Horse Futurities. Chris sold Hal to long time customer Dave Daube who saw Hal’s potential and sold him to PRCA roper Tanner Braiden. Tanner and Hal have been a great team winning at the professional level with lots of great things to come. Great to see our home raised horse and training program doing big things.
Today was a big day for our breeding program. Chris and Bo won the 12.5 5 yr old and under and under roping at the First Annual Riata Buckle Roping Futurity. Went in as high team back and finished just under the wire for a first place. They will split $61,000. Chris riding That Bold Pepto by Bold and Beautiful (who is by Seven S Big Valley). Bo riding Big Valleys Ms Haida by Seven S Big Valley. These are genetics Chris has been putting together for four generations of horses. Very awesome to have a platform that can showcase these horses, with great payouts to the ropers, and then also impressive payouts to the breeders and the horses’ owners.
Sketch is a talented performer, full of personality and just pretty dang entertaining…he is just a sweet boy inside and out and friendships know no boundaries …
Sketch isn’t into keto. Tortillas, crackers, bread, donuts are more his jam.
Nice heeling run in Stephenville
Murder Hornet, 2-year-old Bold and Beautiful colt with his owner, Jesi Harvey taking him for a spin in the indoor arena on this wet and soggy day. They both enjoyed the ride. Jesi hasn’t ridden him since we started him several months ago. Fun to watch them reunite and get a little work in.
Bold and Beautiful colts are good minded, big hearted and easy to train. This was Moody Blue’s first branding the other day… she took it like a champ. #BoldandBeautiful #letsgobrandin
Our buddy Nick Sartain and partner Austin Rogers won Guymon tonight in the team roping on fresh muleys. Nick was heading on a horse, Ribar, Chris trained as a two year old for Deb and Shelby Fraisier. Deb and Shelby barrel raced on him his 3 year old year and brought him back to Chris to put in his rope horse program his 4 year old year. Nick and Mark Miller partnered on him to buy him and Nick has been roping on him. Ribar got the call to step up in Guymon and he filled the spot well ! Congrats to Nick and Austin! And Mark! Nice horse.
Getting some roping done on a nice day. Both ends are #RiataBuckle eligible. Levi is riding is riding “Barcelona” a 8 yr gelding and Chris is heeling on “Ruby” a 6 year old mare of ours.
Dragging on 4 YR old by Bold and Beautiful
Doing a little calf dragging this morning on That Bold Pepto CCL by our stud, Bold and Beautiful. “Sketch” is just four but as honest and solid as they come. Always ready to listen and work hard. He’s a big boy but can do a lot even in a tight spot. He was bred and raised by us. These are the kinds of horses our stud turns out - big boned, agile, smart and willing - ready to take on whatever the situation brings - in the roping pen, in the branding pen, doctoring wheat pasture cattle, or prowling cattle.
