So….. Blue Moon and Guinness, who are you???
I am about to tell ya! I go by the name of Blue Moon (can you guess what my favorite beer is?) and I grew up on a cattle farm. My father was a cattleman, calf roper and team roper. I grew up….On The Rodeo Road, sleeping in the sleeper of an old dually truck with my twin sister traveling along with our Dad. When he wasn’t rodeoing and we weren’t riding along with him, we were raising feeder calves, riding roping horses and loving every minute of it!! My twin sister, Guinness (guess what her favorite beer is) and I have done our fair share of ear tagging, dehorning and branding cattle. I am proud to say that everything I learned about horses and cattle came from my father….The Tall Bearded Man. Well…….lots has changed since those days. The Tall Bearded Man passed away 10 years ago and the family farm is now gone. I now work for a National Equine Publication and Guinness is keeping the tradition alive, she is in the cattle business. We both have barrel horses and are working hard to head back down that rodeo road….won’t you join us and stay tuned….lots more to come!
Toodles!!

Team Roper Earns Rookie Title
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Rookie years in professional sports are often about young, talented athletes getting the opportunity to develop, and such is the case with Kaleb Driggers. The Georgia cowboy claimed the overall and team roping heading PRCA Rookie of the Year honors, but fell just short of a berth in the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo, Dec. 3-12, in Las Vegas.
The near-miss is among the learning experiences Driggers, 19, has gone through as he has regrouped and is under way with the 2010 season.
“I didn’t necessarily want to end up 16th (in the 2009 PRCA World Standings), but I really didn’t head like I should have in the latter half of the year,” Driggers said.
Despite finishing $1,197 outside the top 15, Driggers is pleased and excited about his rookie honors and his future. (read more)
