Is there anything better than a freshly groomed arena?
WE THINK NOT!

Big thanks to Ken Rawson for supporting us while our tractor is pieced together like Frankenstein and awaiting a full tear down as soon as parts arrive (which is also being done by a phenomenal volunteer!)

We truly have the greatest members, supporters and community!

We are in a Pickle…
🚜 Temporary Tractor Needed – Community Support Appreciated!

Our current tractor is in the shop for approximately a month, and we’re looking for a short-term replacement to help keep things running smoothly.

We only need it about once a week to groom our arena and feed our roping steers.
Without it our arena activities may come to a stand still.

What we’re looking for:

* Around a 50 HP tractor
* Front-end loader capable of lifting ~1,000 lb hay bales
* 3-point hitch to attach our arena groomer

If you—or someone you know—might be willing to lend a tractor for this period, we would be incredibly grateful. Please reach out to us directly!

Thank you for supporting our organization and helping us continue what we do for the community

Roping will be cancelled tonight.

Sorry folks!

Water will need to be hauled with the cold temps but we can help!
