Welcome to the 2019 edition of Rodeo Life. This year is all about colaboration, as we have a
new Editor Jocelyn Beach who has single handedly obtained amazing interviews and articles
for our magazine, congratulations on your promotion. To the amazing champions and
associations who have taken the time to contribute to this edition of Rodeo Life. We are so
excited to feature Tyson Durfey on our cover and to have an opportunity to work with him,
see his exclusive interview on page 12. We have several other rodeo champions who have
personally participated in this edition from Ty Harris (page 16) to Rhen Richard (page
50). See our Serve, Protect, and Ride ‘Em Cowboy! article on military services and rodeos that
explores the rich tradition of our U.S. Military and their passion for Rodeo. Written by Jim
Lamb, a contributing writer to our magazine and with heartfelt photos provided by Warriors
and Rodeo, Professional Armed Forces Association and the Military Rodeo Cowboy
Association that will capture the patriotic spirit and rodeo nature that is within all of us.
Our aim at Rodeo Life is to focus on the qualifying events in rodeo, the competitors and the
wonderful associations that support these champions. We have seen the circuit and
championship rodeos expand their audience and today’s rodeos encompass a mass variety
of generations, youths, women and men who not only are highly competitive but are equally
traditional and involved with their communities. Cowboys and Cowgirls and their fans, of
all walks of life, have surged rodeo into a worldwide recognized phenomenon.
Rodeo Life is a lifestyle, encompassing the culture, the communities, the competitors, of
rodeo… and we look forward to our next edition that focuses on the National Finals Rodeo
(NFR). Should you like to contribute an article, or order a copy, please contact us, maybe
your article will be featured in our next edition of Rodeo Life in December 2019.

not be possible.
