EDITOR’S NOTE: This story appears in the January issue of Women’s Pro Rodeo News. Unfortunately the interview that I had hoped to do with Lindsay Sears a week after she’d won didn’t happen, but I hope we were able to tell a good story anyway. For anyone who has ever been in the heated battle[...]

Every year, there are a few new names in the hat for the invitation-only Timed Event Championship, a unique event that originated at the Lazy E Arena in 1985 and features cowboys competing in all five timed-event disciplines — heading, heeling, steer wrestling, tie-down roping and steer roping.

It’s been a few years since I witnessed the spectacle known as the Timed Event Championship, a unique event created by the Lazy E Arena staff when it opened its doors nearly 30 years ago. The championship features 20 of the greatest timed-event cowboys in the game, even in the history of the game, competing[...]

I’ve never been inside Denver Coliseum, and the only reflections I had of the building that houses the National Western Stock Show and Rodeo were photographs of the historic rodeo throughout the years. I learned a little more today while talking with two-time barrel racing world champion Brittany Pozzi. She has won the Denver rodeo[...]
