Location: North Dakota | SKM - 2015-07-12 9:24 AM Funny how when rodeos branches away from the PRCA...everyone was all for it. They were all about the $$$ and how awesome it was to show the PRCA that they needed to do better. Now that these large payout, unsanctioned venues are enforcing the rules they came up with...people are complaining about how "unfair" they are. You can't have it both ways. If an unsanctioned, large payout rodeo says contestants have to all wear purple jeans with pink polka dots and unicorns on their shirts...you'd better know that rule and start shopping.
I'm sure Fallon will be in.

Chandler's Mom - 2015-07-12 2:42 AM Frodo - 2015-07-10 7:33 AM readytorodeo - 2015-07-10 2:07 AM I watched the video. He got after the horse with his rope. I don't think it's abuse. Looked like no more than what we do with a over and under. On the other hand two horses were euthanized because of injuries during the chuck wagon races. Now that is abuse! The chuck wagon race is an accident waiting to happen and the horses are always the victims. Has anyone ever been to the Clinton chuck wagon races? Dear Lord. . .
We went several years to Clinton, and I loved the riding around and seeing our friends. But there were several horse deaths each year--both from the races and just drunk idiots on horse back. I miss going, but I couldn't stand seeing how some contestants and spectators treated their horses. |

jbhoot - 2015-07-09 6:44 PM achildres - 2015-07-09 6:38 PM Super curious to know what Tuf did?? Someone fill me in!! people on FB say he over and undered his horse six times and was sent home. I have no idea if it is true.
A top horse like Tuff rides not firing at a rodeo says something's wrong-pain issue? Why punish him? Try figuring out what's wrong. |

I couldn't agree more. My first thought was the ground was hard and it stung his feet and that is why he didn't want to run. |

| He broke wide, and therefore was late and then whipped his horse for it. There is a picture floating around of him breaking from the box and Fred breaking from the box ON THE SAME CALF and it shows it. But Tuf isn't as innocent as he plays off. Maybe people should ask about what happened to his Cinch Sponsorship or the whole American fiasco. Just because people act to be all religious, people look the other way. It's sad. Yes he is winner and a champion roper but a role model he is not. |

Thanks for that info. I was never able to see the beginning of the run, just the part of him over and undering. |

As for the Cinch Sponsorship I am not sure. As for the American, three of the final four calf ropers planned it out to let a qualifer win the final round. this way the qualifier would win part of the million and they spilt the extra money between the three of them. Tuf Cooper, was one of those three calf ropers that planned this out. They were in court for it and last heard they still have not paid out in the calf roping for the American because of this. |

| He's human like the rest of us. To be fair I will repeat a story told to me by my friend. Her friend is a rookie and she and her mother were unfamiliar with the rodeo they pulled in to in the middle of the night after also competeing at another rodeo earlier that night. They were walking around the barn trying to find stalls for the horses. There was a young man finishing up with his horses and when he saw them he offered his help. He not only helped them find stalls, he helped them prepare them for the horses and helped bed the horse down. They had no idea who he was, just thanked him and went to bed. Next day they found out the man who helped them was Tuff Cooper. I just thought I would balance out the bad with a little good. No one is perfect. We all have parts of our lives that looking back we realize we could have done a little better. Maybe this is one of his. |

Who's going to fine or DQ them? They are their own enity. They are an unsanctioned rodeo that can only answer to themselves. They could hold the barrels on an asphalt parking lot if they wanted. |

I try not to get involved with the drama and rumors that fly around the horse world in general. Makes a person's head spin. My judgement comes from my own experience with Tuf also. I saw him at the American and he was so genuinely nice and helpful to those around him. Taking pictures with every willing fan, taking great care of his horses, he's human...
I also dont like to get involved in the rumos mill because there is his side, their side and the truth. Until things are settled, I try not to let that crap fog my judgement. Anyone who has been in the public eye whether at a local level, state level, national level... you have seen how hateful people are. They will swear your name through the mud out of pure jealousy.
Maybe he did it... but maybe he didnt. |
