Brendan Laye
TWO CANADIANS TOP WORLD ROOKIE RANKS


October 19, 2018

As the dust settled over the end of the 2018 regular rodeo season, steer wrestler, Brendan Laye and bronc rider, Dawson Hay, learned that they had won PRCA Rookie honours in their respective events.

Laye, a 28 year old three time Canadian Finals qualifier, earned $30,767 en route to the world steer wrestling rookie title. Although the 28-year-old cowboy is new to the PRCA scene, the Consort, Alberta bull dogger has held a CPRA membership since 2016.

“To finally go down there and have some success is a pretty cool experience for me,” Laye said.

Dawson HayAnd 20-year-old Dawson Hay from Wildwood, Alberta won $39,605. 

“It means a lot for sure because that was definitely my goal; my dad (Rod Hay) was the Rookie of the Year in 1989,” Hay said.

Both men will be competing at the 2018 CFR in Red Deer later this month.

Late February, 2018 - And on one of the richest weeks south of the 49th parallel, Canadians made some serious noise on the world rodeo stage.

South of 49 SuccessAt the San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo, 2016 World Champion Saddle Bronc rider, Zeke Thurston, led the Canadian charge to the pay window. His 3/4 split overall netted the Big Valley, AB cowboy $13,983. In the steer wrestling, Curtis Cassidy - holder of 12 Canadian championships - split fourth overall for a lucrative $9616 payoff while in the bareback riding event, three time Wrangler National Finals Rodeo qualifier Orin Larsen topped the Canadian bareback riders with $6354. Other Canadians to cash in at the rich Texas stop included bareback riders Clint Laye ($4831) and Luke Creasy ($2378); steer wrestlers Scott Guenthner ($3270) and Tanner Milan ($595); bronc rider Sam Kelts ($2378); barrel racer Carman Pozzobon ($2378) and tie down roper Kyle Lucas ($1784). The San Antonio Finals saw two Calgary Stampede horses in the spotlight. In the saddle bronc riding, 2015 World Champion Jacobs Crawley put together an 87 point ride on Tokyo Bubbles en route to the overal championship and $25,767. And in the bareback event, Mason Clements, topped the Finals with a spectacular 90 point ride on 2012 Canadian saddle bronc, Special Delivery.

At Tucson, Arizona’s La Fiesta de los Vaqueros, Clint Laye carried the Canadian colours very well in the bareback riding as he placed in both the long go and short go, finishing third overall, for $5907. Luke Creasy won the long round to collect $3868 and continue enjoying his best ever early season results to remain solidly in the world standings. (The bad news is that Creasy suffered separated ribs and will be out for a few weeks.) Michael Solberg finished up 8th in the average to take home $387. Steer wrestler, Harley Cole, placed in one round and the short go, finishing up fifth in the average for a sizable $3781 payoff and Curtis Cassidy collected $1661 by placing in the second round of the tie down roping. Barrel racer, Kirsty White caught a 7th place average cheque of $1072 while bronc rider Jake Watson ($514) and team roper Clay Ullery ($118) also cashed cheques at Tucson.

The AmericanAt the mega-profitable non-sanctioned 'The American', seven Canadians qualified for Sunday’s Final: Clay Elliott, Zeke Thurston, Layton Green; steer wrestlers Tanner Milan and Scott Guenthner, bareback rider Orin Larsen and barrel racer Carman Pozzobon. Larsen, Guenthner and Elliott advanced to the Showdown round of 4 in each event where Larsen was the big winner - finishing second for $25,000. Neither Elliott nor Guenthner were able to cash in on Sunday. In the bareback riding, C5 Rodeo’s much-celebrated Virgil did it again! The great gray carried 4 time World Champion Kaycee Feild to 90.75 for the win and a share of the million dollar sidepot as a qualifier.

Among additional CPRA athletes adding dollars to their bank accounts are bareback rider Kody Lamb who enjoyed a share of 3/4 at the Silver Spurs Rodeo in Kissimmee, Florida (80.5 points) for a $2648 payday At Buckeye, Arizona's Hellzapoppin Rodeo, bull rider Dawson Shannon rode for 76 points - good for 3rd place and $978 while Zeke Thurston was 4th - 77.5 points and $389.

2016 Canadian Saddle Bronc Riding Champion, Clay Elliott, is among the Canadians making some loud noise this week south of the border. Elliott won the short go at San Angelo with an 87.5 on Pickett Rodeo’s Delta Dawn and split 2/3 in the average for a total of $4481. Meanwhile at San Antonio, Elliott qualified for the semi-finals out of his bracket with $2378 won.

2017 WNFR steer wrestler, Scott Guenthner (Consort, AB) qualified for the San Angelo short round, then dogged his steer in 3.7 seconds for a 1/2 split that earned him 4th in the average and a $4884 payday. Earlier in the week at the Dixie National Rodeo in Jackson, Mississippi, Guenthner shared 2/3 in the second go-round and split 2/3/4 in the average to add $4765 to his lucrative week.

Other Canadians who have recently been productive in the U.S. include bareback rider, Orin Larsen, who earned $3416 at Jackson and has qualified for the semi-final at San Antonio; saddle bronc rider Jake Watson who finished 3rd (also at Jackson) for $3748 and steer wrestler Harley Cole, who pulled down $3088 at the Mississippi stop.

Luke Creasy finished 2nd in the long go at San Angelo and 7th in the average for $3767 while 2016 World Champion saddle bronc rider, Zeke Thurston, pocketed $1735 at San Angelo and has moved through to the San Antonio semi-finals from his bracket.

Wade Sundell on CS Yesterday's Delivery - Greg Westfall photoCanadian Champion barrel racer, Carman Pozzobon, continues to find success in Texas with a 4th place finish in the second round at San Angelo for $3215 while bronc rider Tyrel Larsen ($1813 at San Angelo) and bareback rider Clint Laye ($804 at Jackson, Mississippi) were also among Canadian money winners.

And the beat goes on for the #4 ranked steer wrestler in the world as Curtis Cassidy qualified out of his bracket for the San Antonio semi-finals with a tidy $3280 to date.

The four-legged superstars from this side of 49 enjoyed their day in the sun as well, as Calgary Stampede bareback horses YYC Departing, Princess Warrior, Reckless Margie and You See me, along with saddle broncs Peigan Warrior and Yesterday's Delivery all carried their riders to go round wins at San Antonio.

More to come in the days ahead as San Antonio inches closer to its February 25 finale and we keep an eye on the PRCA’s busy schedule for the coming weeks.

Carman Pozzobon - James Pfifer photoCARMAN POZZOBON FINDS SUCCESS IN FORT WORTH

Carman Pozzobon is a goal setter. Early in the 2017 Canadian Rodeo season, the Aldergrove, BC barrel racer set out to win Canada… an objective she achieved by maintaining top spot much of the year, earning season leader status and placing in 5 of 6 rounds at the Canadian Finals Rodeo.

Fast forward to 2018 where the 32 year old has a Wrangler National Finals Rodeo qualification in her sights. She’s off to a good start with a fourth place finish at the lucrative Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo. Pozzobon’s Fort Worth showing was highlighted by the short round win (16.33 seconds) with her total earnings, $9049.

“We ran at Fort Worth a couple of years ago… but I set myself up better this time. Fort Worth is ‘average-based’ so it’s all about keeping the barrels up and making solid runs. And I stayed at (Jackie) Ganter's so I could turn my horses out … which helped keep Ripp fresh-minded.”

Clint Laye - James Pfifer photoPozzobon’s partner is 8 year old Ripn Lady (by Frenchs Hula Guy and Bijou Betali). Ripp is one of several Frenchmans Guy bred offspring in Carman’s herd. She trained the mare herself, enjoyed a successful futurity career … and is now finding success on the pro rodeo trail… with Fort Worth her latest stop.

The next few weeks will see Pozzobon remain in Texas, where she'll compete at the PRCA San Antonio Rodeo and two non-sanctioned events: The American (Semi-Final) and Houston Rodeo.

Other Canadians who cashed in at the recent U.S. rodeos include bareback rider Orin Larsen who finished 2nd in the short round and 7th in the average at Fort Worth for $2879 and added $3080 for a 3rd place at Rapid City. Team roper, Kolton Schmidt, qualified for the Fort Worth short round but was unable to reach the pay window. And bareback rider, Clint Laye, earned the Super Shootout Fort Worth Team bareback win (January 19) - good for $10,000. (though this money does not count in the World standings)

Jordan Hansen - CFR photo by Mike CopemanThe tie-down roping Robinson brothers had a productive weekend with Ben winning Bismarck, North Dakota ($1336) and Kirk earning a 3rd place cheque at Bismarck for $875 and winning 6th at Rapid City for $2047.

2016 Canadian bull riding champion, Jordan Hansen, has seen some success at the PRCA Xtreme bull riding events. Following up his win at Rapid City ($3807), the Ponoka cowboy rode for 2nd at Bismarck and $3243.

Bareback riders Kody Lamb and Dantan Bertsch picked up smaller cheques - Lamb winning $250 for a 4th place finish at Lake Charles, Louisiana and Bertsch winning $317 at Rapid City.

Among the upcoming events south of ’49 are San Angelo (Feb 2-16) and San Antonio (Feb 8-25).

Zeke Thurston - National Western 2018 Champ - Greg Westfall copyrightZeke Thurston led a parade of Canadian rough stock cowboys to the winner’s circle at the National Western Stock Show and Rodeo in Denver.

The 2016 World Champion saddle bronc rider was second in the first round, split 3/4/5 in the second go, and added a 3rd place finish in the short round to top out at 255.5 points on three head, six points clear of the rest of the field. The Big Valley talent was the top money winner overall, collecting $10,934 from the Colorado stop to move him into the top ten in the world standings.

Other Canadian bronc riders to cash cheques in Denver included Kolby Wanchuk and Tyrel Larsen who were part of that 3/4/5 split in the second round for $1469 each while Jake Watson picked up a 5th place go round payoff of $882.

Brownfield, Alberta’s Luke Creasy was the top Canuck in the bareback riding as he placed in one round, was third in the short round and fourth overall for a tidy $3164 haul. And in the bull riding, a couple of Saskatchewan cowboys made money. Jared Parsonage rode all three of his bulls, and finished up splitting fourth in the average for $2040 with Todd Chotowetz earning a fifth place go round cheque of $882.

Canadian horses weren’t to be outdone by their two-legged counterparts. WNFR bareback rider, Clayton Biglow, enjoyed Calgary Stampede hospitality as he rode the Stampede’s Roll Over to 86 points to win second go-round and followed up on another Calgary horse, Zastron Acres, this time for 88 points to split the short round. And in the bronc riding, Shade Etbauer’s 86 point effort on the Stampede bronc, Zelda’s Whitney, was good for the first go win.
National Western
Meanwhile, at the other end of the arena, Curtis Cassidy ($168) and Tanner Milan ($84) were the lone Canadian timed event competitors to make the trip to the pay window.

In addition to the two-legged and four-legged competitors, two additional Canadians, the 2017 PRCA Pickup Man of the Year, Gary Rempel, and Niki Cammaert-Flundra, 2017 Canadian Dress Act of the Year, were in the arena doing what they do so well. (Complete unofficial results below.)
