![]() ![]() "Boys don't tie goats after eighth grade, so what a career end," Kathryn Mavity said.īelfield native Cayden Kling faired well at the NJHFR, finishing second in boys breakaway with a time of 9.62 seconds. In addition to his Junior Boy's Reserve World Champion status in goat tying, he finished 30th in breakaway roping. He won the average in goat tying but finished second overall, just six points behind winner Denton Good. I felt like I was doing my best in goat tying at that point." "I felt like I could do good at Little Britches," Mavity said. Mavity rode his success into the following weekend at the National Little Britches Rodeo in Guthrie, Okla., running from July 9-15. Yes, he did very well, but who he was on really mattered too." "I remember Luke being like 9 years old when we first got him and then to be able to go and make a world record on him, that's what brought tears to my eyes. The way that he looks when he comes down into that arena, when you get to look at all the pictures, his little ears are forward, like, 'What's in there? What are we going at?' Then the minute Luke let him see the goat, his ears just pinned backward," Mavity's mother, Kathryn, said of Ricky. I think that they should make home schooling a have-to for attending more junior rodeos."He's just an old man. If the parents can school the kids well, then O.K., but if they keep them out of school just so the kids can rodeo and do a poor job on the schooling, shame on them. It is easier to go to rodeos and rope at home when you are home schooled. Not many people get to make a living with a rope in hand. I really agree with home schooling, my kids just aren’t old enough to attend junior rodeos yet.Įducation MUST be a priority. It can also teach them strategy, which can be a valuable asset as they enter the business world. Rodeoing can teach children to keep their head up, even if things aren’t going the way they want them to. On the other hand, rodeoing can instill characteristics that are needed in today’s society. I don’t have any kids at this point, but, a child’s education is the most important developmental stage in their life. I don’t believe a child should be home schooled for the purpose of attending more rodeos or ropings. If a kid really loves rodeo, let them, but keeping them motivated due to the lack of friends or other sports is going to be hard. I believe there are benefits for children attending school. Home schooling, if practiced, should be for academic reasons only. That seems an excessive measure in order to compete in rodeos. A good rodeo is one of the best educators you can receive from both the participants and the livestock! Learning to participate and compete with others and experience both the excitement and self-accomplishment in winning and by showing good sportsmanship when others win. Junior Rodeo is also an educator, but a different kind. ![]() Home schooling could be a real timesaver for the education that IS required today. ![]() As long as they’re gettin’ their schoolin’ then its alright. I believe it’s a good thing but that’s just me. It gives them better opportunities for rodeo competing. Here is what some of our readers had to say about the idea. About half of the respondents are parents and the other half aren’t. However, the comments regarding the overall philosophy of home schooling varied widely. Only about 2 percent of respondents have either been home schooled or home school their children. In our latest Web survey, we asked respondents about home schooling for the purpose of attending more rodeos and ropings. “I kind of figured I was six, the day before I had seen them tie them in 7 flat, and I felt like my run came together a little quicker than that, but I didn’t know it was quite that fast,” he added. Canton’s previous personal best time was 6.9 seconds. The previous record was 6.5 seconds, held jointly by five-time world champion Cody Ohl at the 2003 Wrangler National Finals Rodeo and Clint Robinson last year in Amarillo, Texas.Ĭanton roped and tied the black and white spotted calf, using three swings and a wrap and hooey. “I’m pretty laid-back so it’s no great big thing, but it does mean something to get to my age and tie one that fast.” Canton turned 40 in September. That low was 6.3 seconds-but don’t look for it to change the Navasota, Texas, cowboy. “But getting down that low is a little different.” “It was a fast setup, it looked like you could be six fairly easily-if anything,” Canton said. Fourteen-time Wrangler National Finals Rodeo qualifier Ricky Canton broke the world tie-down roping record, Thursday, July 28, during the second round of the Strathmore (Alberta) Stampede. ![]()
