Sundance, Wyoming’s Peggy Garman set a breakaway roping record at Cheyenne Frontier Days on Wednesday morning with a three-second flat run. She won the wild card round in which just twelve of 140 ropers advanced to afternoon performances starting Saturday at ‘The Daddy.’ Garman is an alum of Casper College where she spent two years on the rodeo team. It may be some time before a smile leaves her face.

The Etbauer name has been synonymous with success at Cheyenne Frontier Days because a trio of Oklahoma saddle-bronc riding brothers ruled the roost for a long time. Robert Etbauer’s son Trell is a bit stouter, and he wrestles steers. Etbauer was faster than 130 of his bulldogging pals in qualifier Round 1 competition at ‘The Daddy’ Tuesday with a run of 5.7 seconds.

Oklahoman Mike Johnson is Chute 9 royalty at Cheyenne Frontier Days. He won his first of two tie-down roping titles a quarter century ago and Johnson has entered ‘The Daddy’ for nearly four decades. He’s not going to many rodeos these days but the man who holds the NFR record for appearances in his event (23) was back in Cheyenne to easily advance out of the tie-down qualifying round with a solid 12.4 second run on Monday.

CHEYENNE, Wyo. (June 21, 2022) – While the 126^th Cheyenne Frontier Days Rodeo hasn’t officially started yet, competition has been going on for nearly a week at Frontier Park.

With this year’s rodeo expected to top over $1 million in prize money and the legendary status of the “Daddy of ‘em All,” contestants came from across the U.S. and Canada hoping for an opportunity to advance into the quarter finals of the tournament style rodeo. Two women did that in record setting style.

Breakaway roper Peggy Garman, from Sundance, Wyoming had a disappointing first run competition on July 20 when her loop failed to connect. The breakaway roping field started with 200 that were split into two pools where 30 from each advanced. The remaining 140 spent the night in Cheyenne to compete in the wildcard round, held Wednesday morning before the barrel racing qualifying competition.

For fans of the Women’s Professional Rodeo Association, a day at Frontier Park, or watching on the Cowboy Channel online was time well spent on Wednesday, July 21. Garman was one of the early ropers to go and set the pace and a new arena record at 3.0 seconds. Riding her great horse “Cash,” the Wyoming cowgirl breathed a big sigh of relief. It was a huge confidence booster for Garman.

“This is such a prestigious rodeo and to be able to add my name to the record books is unbelievable,” she said. “I struggled after yesterday, but had some good friends talk me through that and get me pumped up to rope today.” This is the third time that breakaway roping has been featured at CFD. The previous record was set by Carol Hollers at 3.4 seconds in 2021.

Garman wasn’t the only contestant pumped up and ready to compete. In the barrel racing it was the horses that took center stage, in particular Firewaterfrenchfame, “Apollo.” Ridden by Summer Kosel of Glenham, South Dakota, they broke an arena record in the barrel racing that was set over 25 years ago by Kristie Peterson and the famous French Flash Hawk, aka “Bozo.” They stopped the clock in 17.03 seconds in 1996.

Kosel’s time of 17.02 not only set the record, it also earned her the biggest check out of qualifying rounds at $7,414. When Peterson and Bozo had their run at Cheyenne, they ran from the opposite end of the arena. There are a lot of factors involved that make having an arena record accurate, but Kosel is now in the books as having made the fastest barrel racing run at CFD.

Team ropers Riley and Brady Minor have accomplished more as a brother duo than any other team roping family members in the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association, but one title has eluded them, the one from Frontier Park. With the younger of the duo, Riley, heading and Brady catching hind feet, they stopped the clock in 7.2 seconds to win $3,590.

Trell Etbauer is very familiar with Cheyenne Frontier Days. He traveled here as a toddler to watch his father, world champion saddle bronc rider Robert Etbauer compete. Then he competed in the saddle bronc riding, steer wrestling and tie-down roping here in 2014 and won the champions package as the all-around cowboy.

This year, Etbauer is after a steer wrestling title and came one step closer on July 19 when he stopped the clock in 5.7 seconds to win the qualifying round and $3,382. He will now hope to add to those earnings during the quarter finals and keep advancing all the way to Championship Sunday.

Cash Enderli, a college student at Weatherford College in Texas and resident of Liberty, Texas had the fast run in tie-down roping at 9.8 seconds. He won $5,172 and now has an opportunity to compete in front of a crowd for the first time at CFD. He had never competed here until July 18^th and was the best out of nearly 200 tie-down ropers.

All of these contestants will advance to the quarter finals where there will be 72 competitors in each discipline as well as in the bareback riding and saddle bronc riding. The bull riding quarter finals will see 60 competitors each making two appearances.

The first quarter finals will start at 12:45 p.m. on Saturday, July 23.

CHEYENNE, Wyo. (July 21, 2022) – Cheyenne Frontier Days is tackling suicide awareness and prevention with a new campaign aimed at individuals attending and participating in “Daddy of ‘em All” events. They have enlisted the help of country music star Garth Brooks in promoting a campaign built around the role of the rodeo Pick Up Man in the arena.

The campaign encourages people to “reach out to a Pick Up Man or be a Pick Up Man for someone in need.” People contemplating suicide are directed to the new nationwide 988 Suicide Prevention Hotline. Individuals who see friends, family members, or neighbors struggling with mental health are encouraged to reach out.

“Our western culture of independence and self-reliance may inhibit people from seeking help, or people from offering help,” Tom Hirsig, CFD CEO said. “In rodeo, we call the pick up man a lifesaver in the arena. Every cowboy knows the pick up man is out there to help, to give a hand. And the athletes do not hesitate to reach out for help. We want everyone to use that example in their lives.”

A public service video featuring Garth Brooks will be played during rodeo and night show performances. The video was recorded at the request of and specifically for the CFD Pick up Man campaign. “Words cannot express our deep appreciation to Garth Books for his assistance in this important effort,” Hirsig said.

The campaign acknowledges that suicide rates in the Rocky Mountain West are among the highest in the nation. The CFD effort is intended to raise awareness and places a priority on connecting individuals to the national hotline, where appropriate counseling can be provided.

CFD will be selling “Pick Up Man” hat feathers and necklaces with as part of the campaign with net proceeds being given to local suicide prevention efforts.

The unofficial start of Cheyenne Frontier Days will kick off July 16 with rodeo qualifiers. The Daddy of ‘em All Rodeo is a modified, tournament-style format. Timed events will have qualifying rounds to make it into the rodeo performances beginning July 23. Rodeo qualifiers are free to the public.

The Foundation is an IRS 501(c)(3) and can receive cash, real estate, and other properties, with the goal of providing support to charitable and educational Cheyenne Frontier Days activities.

Fagan spent 30 years in the United States Air Force, where he was head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Nuclear Section.

The Western heritage personified by rodeo exemplifies community involvement, willingness to help a neighbor, and dedication to doing what is right. Highlighting this spirit and fostering it is an objective of Cheyenne Frontier Days and the recently created Foundation.
