WACO, Texas — Clint Cannon started the 2009 rodeo season with a win at the Texas Circuit Finals last January at the Heart O’ Texas Coliseum and finished the regular season with a win at the Heartland ProRodeo Championships here.
When the Waller, Texas, bareback rider won the Circuit Finals, it was on River Boat Annie, a tremendous horse owned by Carr Pro Rodeo.

“Hollie has been raising some horses and now she’s able to race them,” Billy Etbauer said of his wife, who is now competing in barrel racing. “The whole trip to the northwest was based on that.”
Hollie Etbauer, a former track and field athlete for Oklahoma State, won the barrel racing at Kennewick, Wash.
“I’m more nervous when she’s racing,” Billy Etbauer said. (read more)
