The 20 rodeo performances of RodeoHouston concluded Sunday afternoon, and although I didn’t get to watch the happenings inside Reliant Stadium, I’m still impressed. Today’s winners in barrel racing, bareback riding, saddle bronc riding and bull riding all pocketed an additional $25,000. Only one of the 2012 RodeoHouston Super Series champs won Sunday, too:  Barrel[...]

When Lindsay Sears goes to the bank, she tends to make a big deposit. Sears and her great horse, Martha, won RodeoHouston with a 14.14-second run to edge Wrangler National Finals Rodeo qualifier Carlee Pierce by one-hundredth of a second to win the $50,000 barrel racing prize in the Super Series Championship on Sunday afternoon.[...]

RodeoHouston ended with a tremendous bang on Saturday evening, from Kaycee Feild’s 93 point-ride on MGM Deuces Night to win bareback riding to Adam Gray’s 8.8-second ride to Lindsay Sears and Martha edging Carlee Pierce and Dillion by ONE-HUNDREDTH of a second. It was incredible. Congratulations to all the winners. Tie-down roping: 1. Adam Gray,[...]

I’ve got the TV set on March Madness, and I’ve got the computer set on RodeoHouston. Technology is awesome, and I’m glad I get to watch them both. Right now, we just wrapped up bronc riding in Reliant Stadium, where Cody DeMoss rode Carr Pro Rodeo’s Miss Congeniality to win the round and advance to[...]

Bull rider Bobby Welsh of Gillette, Wyo., is the only defending RodeoHouston champion who has a secured shot at repeating. He’s one of three 2011 winners still in the mix. Steer wrestler Stockton Graves of Newkirk, Okla., and saddle bronc rider Cort Scheer of Elsmere, Neb., will battle for the remaining two finale spots in[...]

The most stressful three days of RodeoHouston begin tonight with the wild card round, which features the 12 contestants in each discipline who did not place in the top four in the two semifinals. They will battle for the final two spots in tomorrow’s Super Series Championship. Taking just a sixth of the field means[...]

I’m watching/listening to RodeoHouston’s livestreaming webcast of tonight’s semifinal round at RodeoHouston. I enjoy the show and listening to Reliant Stadium announcers Boyd Polhamus and Bob Tallman. It’s like being in the media room at the NFR, except without the yelling. It’s a great show, especially when only the top four contestants in each event[...]

Brittany Pozzi and Lindsay Sears were just two-thirds of an incredible race for the 2011 barrel racing world championship. If RodeoHouston is any indication, 2012 could be just as exciting. Through the first of two semifinals on Wednesday night, Sears won the round with a 13.93-second run, followed by Pozzi’s 14.14. Through four go-rounds inside[...]

“Full Metal Jousting” is a reality show that gets inside on the newest version of the Medieval sport, and it features two ProRodeo cowboys, bull rider Nathan Klassen of Broken Arrow, Okla., and world champion steer wrestler Rope Myers of Van, Texas. Nathan is a longtime friend of mine. He’s a Prairie Circuit champion bull[...]
