The stick horse racers
It was a sunny day at the
Morrow County Rodeo in
Heppner, August 20. Some
people thought that they were
at the Pendleton Round-Up
and it was time for the Indian
Pageantry, but they were
wrong-it was just the 70-plus
Morrow County stick horse
racers and their moms, dads,
brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles
and friends who poured into
the multipurpose facility and
the Oregon Trail Rodeo Arena
at the Morrow County fair
grounds.
There were stick horses, stick
bulls, stick ponies and just
plain oT sticks. The kids were
dressed in their finest rodeo
outfits and the horses were
ready to run.
When the dust settled, the
winners were: three and un
der-first Chance Ford Day, se
cond Alexis Doutre,.third Aus
tin Dennis and fourth Torrie
Lovgren; four and five year
olds: first Lane Bailey, second
Katie Kilkenny, third Ashley
Kannard; six and seven year
olds: first Nick Berretta, second
Brent Parks, third Madison
Bailey, fourth Ryan Cate.
Judges for the annual Mor
row County Rodeo Stick Horse
Race were: Janet McDowell,
Jody Gumb and Elaine Miller.
J.D. Pitcher took entries along
with Marlene Currin, Oregon
Trail Pro Rodeo secretary.
The queen of the Morrow
County Fair and Oregon Trail
Pro Rodeo, Rondi Robinson,
and her princesses, Stephanie
Skultety and Michele Meakins,
handed out the trophies, rib
bons, treats and certificates to
the winners and participants.
Brett Barber and Kathleen
Greenup made and loaned
some of the "cutest and fastest
stick horses in the county" to
riders who came without
horses of their own. Ron Mc
Dowell, Terrie Gentry and Dar
cy Robinson were also on hand
to help match the horses with
their riders.
Larry Mills and Frank Hal-
vorsen were the race announc
ers.
