2014 Pendleton Whisky Let ’er Buck
Stock of the Year Awards
Each year, the top ProRodeo cowboys in each roughstock event vote for the top bucking horses
and bulls – the animal athletes with whom they contend in the arena and whose performance is worth
half their own scores. Ballots go out every Sept. 1, and the winning animals are acclaimed at the PRCA’s
annual awards banquet each December just before the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo.
Stock contractors are proud of these top buckers. They invest heavily in purchases and/or breeding
programs, feed and medical care for their bucking stock for years, fostering the animals’ growth and
development until they are ready to be tested in the arena for the bucking instinct and physical abilities
that may make them champions in their own right.
In 2010, Pendleton Whisky expanded its ProRodeo involvement by sponsoring the stock awards,
which are now known as the Pendleton Whisky Let ‘er Buck Stock of the Year Awards. Pendleton Whisky
provides cash prizes for the top three animals in each event and funds the stipends for stock contractors
who provide bucking stock for the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo.
The 2014 Pendleton Whisky Let ‘er Buck Stock of the Year Awards went to:

When the two best bareback rides
of the regular season are made on
the same horse, accolades are sure
to follow – and for Dirty Jacket, they
certainly did. The Pete Carr Pro Rodeo
horse’s twin 91-point outs came
with Richmond Champion aboard
at Cheyenne (Wyo.) Frontier Days
in August 2014 and Steven Dent in
Stephenville, Texas, in September. That
highly regarded Cheyenne out with
Champion, right, was a bit surprising,
noted Carr. “He had been off for almost
six months,” Carr said. “I was kind of
holding my breath when we bucked
him at Cheyenne because you never
know how they’re going to come back,
but it was probably one of the best
trips he’s ever had. He just likes his job.
He was born to buck. When it’s time
to go to the rodeo and time to go to
work, his ears go up and he prances.
He’s never really had a bad day – he’s up
off the ground and kicks over his head.
He’s a rider-friendly horse and lets the
guys show off their riding ability. He
scores well with the judges, and he
lets the guys score well, too.”

Best saddle bronc 2014

Medicine Woman
Frontier Rodeo
There was only one 92-point saddle bronc ride
in the 2014 regular season, and it belonged to
Frontier Rodeo mare Medicine Woman under
six-time Wrangler NFR qualifier Wade Sundell
in Dodge City, Kan. At right, Heith DeMoss rode
Medicine Woman for 84.5 points at the 2013
Wrangler NFR, the horse’s fifth consecutive trip
to Las Vegas; in 2014, the mare bucked off Cole
Elshere and two-time World Champion Saddle
Bronc Rider Chad Ferley. This is Medicine Woman’s
third top award; she was Saddle Bronc of the Year
in 2011 and was also named top saddle bronc
at the Wrangler NFR the year before that. Jerry
Nelson, owner of Frontier Rodeo, was thrilled by
his mare’s achievements, describing her as an
honest bucker. “She doesn’t do nothing nasty,
nothing dirty. She’s the kind of horse guys want
to get on – you ride her right, you’ll win first place.”
Nelson was also quick to note that Medicine
Woman’s breeding is a huge factor in her success:
“Pretty much everything I’m raising goes back to
horses I bought from Harry Vold Rodeo, including
my stud Big Medicine, and Mr. Harry Vold gets
most of the credit.”

Summit Pro Rodeo
Michigan has always been known for its dairy
industry, but now another native son of the bovine
variety has drawn national attention. Despite his
Western name, Summit Pro Rodeo bought Cross
the Wyoming Line from an Internet bull-breeding
company; the bull was raised in Michigan by John
Tiemeyer. Over the regular 2014 season, Cross the
Wyoming line had a 95.83 percent buckoff rate;
at the 2014 Wrangler NFR – his first – he bucked
off soon-to-be-crowned 2014 World Champion
Bull Rider Sage Kimzey in the first round and
Jordan Spears in the ninth. Longtime PRCA stock
contractor Hal Burns, one of the owners of Summit
Pro Rodeo, is a big fan of the 5-year-old bull. “He’s
a big-time bucker,” Burns said. “He was so good at
Omaha (Neb.) and Ellensburg (Wash.) late in the
year. The bull is just so consistent, and bucks so
hard. Like any athlete today, it’s about strength and
speed, and he has them both. He carries so much
speed and is so strong.” Brennon Eldred, right, was
an earlier victim of the bull; he was bucked off at
the Wrangler Champions Challenge in Omaha in
September 2014.

PRORODEO AWARDS
Remuda Awards
The PRCA’s annual Remuda Awards go to the stock contracting firm and rodeo committee
that provide the best, most consistent pen of bucking horses, creating the best opportunities for
contestants to score well. In 2014, the Remuda Award for best pen of bucking horses brought to PRCA
rodeos went to Sparky and Marlene Dreesen’s J Bar J, and the committee recognized for assembling
the best pen of bucking horses was the Farm-City Pro Rodeo in Hermiston, Ore.

PRCA stock contractor Sparky Dreesen accepted
the 2014 Remuda Award for bringing the best
pen of bucking horses to PRCA rodeos; his horses
are pastured on the J Bar J ranch on the Missouri
River Breaks near Circle, Mont. Dreesen says
that when he drives up and honks his horn, his
bucking horses come running right to the fence,
hoping for grain or the chance to go to J Bar J’s
next rodeo.

Although Cadillac is a laid-back
horse when he’s at home,
according to primary rider
Clayton Hass, he’s not hesitant
to let other horses know who’s
in charge. But around people,
“he’s like a big ol’ pet,” says Hass.
“He loves to be loved on.” And
that’s not all he loves, says Hass.
“Cadillac’s best quality is the
consistency in how he works.
He works day in and day out.
He’s phenomenal and he loves
his job – you can tell by the way
he’s working. That makes it
easier on the guy who is riding
him.”

Brandon Beers accepted his second consecutive AQHA/PRCA Horse of the Year Award in 2014, but for a different
horse; he won with Lucy’s Fast Jewel in 2013 and El Tevo Cash “Tevo” in 2014. “I’m not sure my wife (Kimber) doesn’t
love Tevo more than me,” he said wryly before the 2014 Wrangler NFR, where he and Tevo picked up another $36,779
to finish the season 10th in the world standings. “I’ve had him since he was 7 and he is like a pet. He is always getting
into stuff, and he and I have had our disagreements. I rode two practice steers on him all year; you don’t have to
practice on him because he does the same thing every time. He always scores and he runs as hard as he can – and he
can fly. But he never changes – he’s the same in a small arena, big arena; it doesn’t matter. He’s always going to do the
same thing, so I never have to wonder if my horse is going to work.”

Brady Minor was thrilled Reyshines on Top “Rey” won the 2014 AQHA/PRCA award for heeling horses because he
felt that Rey, 10, was the key to Minor’s having qualified for his sixth Wrangler NFR last year. “At home, he’s kind of
like the angry boss,” Minor said. “When you go throw them hay, he wants to be the first one in the pile. He kind of
fights with other horses and turns them off the hay. Going down the road last year, he got more seasoned; he runs
hard and stops hard. I’m hoping he stays the same this year or gets a little bit better.”
Tie-down Roping

Dualin Demon “Rambo” is owned by Hunter Herrin and his father, Bob Nunn. The 12-year-old horse’s 2014 win
ended a five-year run in which the tie-down roping award had gone to either Pearl (2009, 2013) or Sweetness
(2010-12). “Rambo is pretty laid back. When I was on the road the last couple of months of the year, he and Marty
Yates’ horse Chicken became pretty big buddies,” Herrin said. “There’s not just one particular thing that makes
Rambo special. He’s quick, he scores pretty good and he’s dang sure going to keep running. I got him in March
2012 and I rodeoed on him (in 2013), his first year. We didn’t click very well the first year we rodeoed. It took a little
time, but now we just click.” Rambo’s other 2014 riders included Clint Robinson, who finished fourth in the regular
season, and 2013 World Champion Shane Hanchey, who started riding him in August and finished ninth in the
world.
Steer Roping
Wonders Cowboy Dan “Cowboy,” a 14-year old gray
gelding by Wonders Pal out of Jackies Cowgirl, was
named the 2014 AQHA Barrel Horse of the Year after
carrying Kaley Bass to a No. 1 regular-season ranking
in the Women’s Professional Rodeo Association – and
to her third Wrangler NFR. The Bass family bought the
gelding when he was 3 years old, and he carried Kaley
and her sister Kristen through junior high and high
school rodeo. “Cowboy is a super easygoing horse –
anyone could jump on him. I stick my 3-year-old niece
Lyla on him; I trust him completely,” says Bass. “I know his
runs and his style; I know how he’s going to work from
the way he warms up. He always tries, even if he’s sore.
He’s a real honest, consistent horse.”
In 2013, steer roping horse Olee Roberto “Major,” owned
by Thomas Snedecor and ridden by his son, Scott, tied
for Steer Roping Horse of the Year with Dan Fisher’s
horse named Woody. In 2014, Major won the honor
outright. “Major likes to be left alone,” Scott Snedecor
has said of his much-valued horse. “I don’t mess with
him and I don’t practice on him much. If he works, it is a
‘Don’t fix it’ kind of deal. I leave him alone and leave him
fat and feeling good, and get on him running him for
money. That horse is just outstanding. He scores good
and runs extremely hard, and he’s strong. His motor is
wide open all the time.”

Bill Stephens, longtime
board member of the
Crossett (Ark.) Riding
Club PRCA Rodeo
committee and twotime president, was
part of his committee’s
effort to streamline their
fundraisers so they could
raise their committee
purse from $1,500 per
event to at least $4,000
per event in just five
years, with less effort. For
his dedication, Stephens
earned the national 2014
Justin Committeeperson
of the Year Award. “I
never thought about
somebody from Crossett
winning this award, not
with so many great
volunteers around the
country,” Stephens told
the ProRodeo Sports News.

Donita Barnes
Lifetime Achievement Award
The PRCA announced in May 2011 that it was creating a new award to honor contract personnel (such
as announcers, bullfighters, clowns, specialty acts, secretaries and timers) who have been PRCA members for
at least 15 years and who have committed their lives to the rodeo industry, yet received little recognition for
their commitment and contributions. The nomination process was open; an external selection committee chose
five finalists, and PRCA contract personnel members voted among those five. The posthumous recipient of
the inaugural Contract Personnel Lifetime Achievement Award was long-time PRCA secretary Donita Barnes,
wife of ProRodeo Hall of Fame inductee and PRCA stock contractor Bob Barnes and mentor to uncountable
thousands of contestants and other people involved with the dozens of Barnes rodeos. The PRCA renamed
the award in her honor in 2012.
The 2014 recipient of the Donita Barnes Lifetime Achievement Award was Quail Dobbs, who began his
rodeo career riding bareback horses and bulls. He found his true calling in 1962 at a Minnesota rodeo when the
stock contractor was short a barrelman. Dobbs volunteered and a star was born. Dobbs, a two-time PRCA Clown
of the Year and four-time Coors Man in the Can, is one of only three men to work the National Finals Rodeo as
both bullfighter and barrelman. He also worked as the Wrangler Bullfight Tour Finals barrelman seven times.
Past recipients of the Donita Barnes Lifetime Achievement Award are:

Quail Dobbs
Stephanie Rotan, second from left, and Coley Dobbs, center, accepted the 2014 Donita Barnes Award at the December
2014 PRCA Awards Banquet on behalf of their father, the revered rodeo clown Quail Dobbs. Dobbs, who passed away
in January 2014, counted the Barnes family -- including Cindy and John Barnes of Barnes PRCA Rodeo, right, and Marty
Barnes, far left, and the Barnes brothers’ late parents, Bob and Donita – among his friends, having worked for Barnes PRCA
Rodeo for many years, said Coley Dobbs. “This award was an honor, of course, because Dad had always talked about
Donita Barnes and all the candidates who had been nominated for the award in the past – he thought very highly of all of
them,” said Dobbs. “It was bittersweet to be accepting it for him, because I would have loved for him to accept it himself,
but it was a great honor for him and our family.”

PRORODEO AWARDS
Linderman Award
Joe Frost was born and raised to win the Linderman Award. The Oklahoma
Panhandle State University graduate, 22, has been doing multiple events
since he was young enough to practice rodeo in the arena in his backyard.
“I started out rodeoing as a little kid, and the first thing we had in our
arena was a bucking chute,” Frost said. “So I started riding calves, and then
the next year we built a roping chute and I started tying goats, which led to
tying calves, and chute dogging, which led to bulldogging. My grandpa (Joe)
always said, ‘The more you enter, the more chances you have to win.’”
Frost has been doing plenty of winning since joining the PRCA in 2012.
While predominantly a bull rider, he’s also a tie-down roper and steer wrestler.
That’s an unusual combination, since bull riders are typically some of the
smallest competitors in rodeo and bulldoggers are usually the biggest, but it
does make him a candidate for the Linderman Award for achievement at both ends of the arena.
Frost considered specializing in bull riding, but found that entering only one event worked against him.
“I would sit there for two hours and think about it, and by the time the bull riding came around, I was
so worn out mentally that I didn’t have a chance in heck of riding,” he said. “I would have to help push
calves or steers for somebody to take my mind off the bull riding. Part of the reason I went to school in
Goodwell was the reputation they have for working both ends of the arena.“
Frost won $82,443 in the 2014 regular season, with $78,442 of it coming in bull riding. He qualified
for his first Wrangler National Finals Rodeo, so he was already at the Thomas & Mack Center on Dec. 8
when he received his Linderman Award buckle.
“Winning this award was a goal I set at the beginning of the year. It was pretty exciting to get that
buckle, and I look forward to hopefully getting another seven or eight of them,” Frost told the ProRodeo
Sports News. “I plan to contend for the Linderman each year, and that’ll always be a goal as long as I’m
riding bulls. As a cowboy, the ultimate thing is to compete in both the roughstock and timed events.”
The Linderman Award recognizes excellence at both ends of the arena. To qualify, a cowboy must
win at least $1,000 in each of three events, and those events must include at least one roughstock event
and one timed event. The Linderman Award is named for Bill Linderman, a world champion in timed
and roughstock events who died in a 1965 plane crash near Salt Lake City. The first Linderman Award
was presented in 1966.

Rookies of the Year
A PRCA rookie is a cowboy competing in his first year as a full member of
the organization. (Cowboys first join under the PRCA’s permit system, which
allows them to compete for some time without becoming full-fledged members.
Once a cowboy has “filled his permit” by winning $1,000 at PRCA-sanctioned
rodeos, he can apply to become a full member; he is considered a rookie for the
remainder of that season.) The PRCA’s Resistol Rookies of the Year are the firstseason cowboys who earn the most money in their events during that season.
The Resistol All-Around Rookie of the Year is the rookie who earned the
most money among all rookies who won at least $3,000 in each of two or more
events. From 1956 through 2010, the PRCA also gave an Overall Rookie of the
Year Award to the rookie who earned the most money in any one or more events.
Also of note: Starting with the 2011 Wrangler National Finals Rodeo, money
earned at the Wrangler NFR counted in the rookie standings. The only PRCA
rookies who competed at the 2014 Wrangler NFR were team roper Junior
Nogueira, who roped with seven-time World Champion Header Jake Barnes
and finished seventh in the world, and bull rider Sage Kimzey, who en route to
a gold buckle set records for most money earned by a rookie ($318,631) and
most money earned at the Wrangler NFR by any bull rider ($175,466).
PRCA rookie standings and the 2014 Rookie of the Year Awards are
sponsored by Resistol Hats.
Although not expected to
survive just after he was born,
Billy Bob Brown has thrived. Now
23, the 2014 All-Around Rookie
of the Year earned $17,725 as a
team roping header and $3,032
as a tie-down roper, the highest
earnings of any 2014 rookie
who won money in at least two
events.
