{SPEAKER name="Speaker 2"}
Yeah I was to a bucking horse sale here a year ago, and they brought horses in that some of them was spoiled saddle horses
[00:07:01]
and work horses that was spoiled and horses they'd run in off in the range, and they brought in a 5 year old,
[00:07:07]
and they said black stud that come in wild and he was about the hardest damn horse that I ever seen for many a day, and they they wouldn't buy him.
[00:07:16]
The guy was buying bucking horses and then they bought one that didn't buck near as hard but was high and kicking out
[00:07:23]
and I asked this boy I said "Why didn't you buy that horse instead of that one?" I said "that's a lot harder." He said "You know that and I know that."
[00:07:29]
But he said "that horse is gonna kill somebody and the boys don't make money on that type of horse."

[00:07:35]
He couldn't be rode to where they can make money, they wanted something that kicked high, you know.
[00:07:38]
It's got to be a business any more see yeah that horse-he-that horse was ready to eat the boy that even wanted to pick the man off'n the horse hell he would've stomped him in the ground. yeah, he -- no way you know
[00:07:50]
{SPEAKER name="Speaker 3"}
We had a question way in the back here
[[background question]]
{SPEAKER name="Speaker 3"} the question is: What are the three biggest rodeos today?
{SPEAKER name="Speaker 2"}
Pendleton
[00:08:02]
{SPEAKER name="Speaker 4"}
I'd have to say my hometown of Pendleton, Oregon then Cheyenne, Wyoming is considered an old and a big rodeo
[00:08:09]
and then I'd have to put in Calgary, Alberta, very famous rodeo.
{SPEAKER name="Speaker 2"}
Yeah, that's about it.
[00:08:15]
{SPEAKER name="Speaker 3"}
Any other variations from the panel here?
{SPEAKER name="Speaker 4"}
Well, the early building shows early in the year are really big too, like the Denver stock show and Fort Worth, Texas stock show
[00:08:25]
and Houston, they're really big in terms of attendance and prize money and length that they run too
[00:08:31]
about twenty-two performances, something like that
{SPEAKER name="Speaker 3"}
Question right here in front
[00:08:36]
[[background question]]
{SPEAKER name="Speaker 4"}
Oh yeah
[00:08:42]
[[background question continues]
[[Cross-talk]
{SPEAKER name= "Speaker 3"}
[00:08:47]
This is a, this is a great cowboy debate
{SPEAKER name="Speaker 4"}
[00:08:48]
A great controversy between what, Texas and Satan or something, but anyway, Texas style
[00:08:58]
of cowboyin' they tie the rope to saddle horn and California style they have a longer rope and don't tie it
[00:09:04]
and take a turn that's called dally-welta or dalley welters in Anglicized Spanish. And uh then you can let it slip or you can turn it loose or you can undally and get up closer whatever you wanna do and it used to be a law in California they couldn't rope steers tied on. They had to dally. And dallying's easier on the cattle in your saddle and horse and everything but the one drawback is you can possibly lose a finger, you know the nylon ropes will saw your finger off just quick as a saw if you get it in there. I've sharpened this one just a little bit.
[Audience laughs]
And if you look, if you look down on your dally that's called watching your belly button.
[Audience chuckles]
[ineligible noise [[?]] ] ya supposed to know where the horn is and dally instantly without. I knew one guy said if you couldn't throw rope and just out there into space and dallied before you hit the ground, you couldn't dally. Do it fast. Just do it fast.
[00:10:01]
Somebody else wanna talk about the in favor of tying off before we move on.
