EAGLE, Colo. – The rains hovered over Johnette Phillips Arena about half an hour before the start of Friday’s third performance of the Eagle County Fair and Rodeo.

It didn’t stop until the final bull bucked, but the action was incredible from start to finish.

“It just kept coming down,” said Will Lowe, a three-time world champion bareback rider who posted an 81-point ride on Pete Carr Pro Rodeo’s The Senator. “When our horses went, it was still really good. As it went further and further, it just got worse.”

Lowe has experienced worse; that’s rodeo.

“It always adds different factors to it,” said Lowe, whose wife, Tiffani, is from nearby Gypsum; she competed in barrel racing on Friday. “Sometimes it can be real beneficial, but it just depends on the situation.”

He has experienced all the highs and lows that come with the game. In addition to his three gold buckles, he is a 14-time qualifier to the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo. He also is a two-time winner of the Eagle rodeo.

“I’ve had some real good goes here,” he said. “Usually at Pete Carr’s rodeos, it’s real nice because you have a good chance to win something on whatever you draw. You’ve just got to use them.

“Pete usually has a pretty even pen. I’ve been coming consistently since Pete got the contract here. They bumped the money up, and then they got Pete about the same time. But you know with Pete’s stock that whatever you draw will give you a chance to win money.”
