Trail Dust comes through for Brunson at Eagle rodeo ? KGYN Radio News

By Ted Harbin

EAGLE, Colo. ? The ultimate goal for Louie Brunson is the world champion?s gold buckle; that?s the goal of every contestant going down the ProRodeo trail.

For the time being, the will settle for rodeo victories and a shot at qualifying for ProRodeo?s championship event, the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo. His latest triumph came July 27-30 when he rode the Carr Pro Rodeo horse Trail Dust for 85 points to win the 2011 edition of the Eagle County Fair and Rodeo. It?s a giant leap for the 25-year-old bronc buster from Interior, S.D.

?It?s a really good rodeo you want to win,? said Brunson, who finished the 2010 season 33^rd on the money list and out of the ranks of qualifying for the NFR.

A big reason for the victory is the high quality of bucking beasts provided by Pete Carr, owner of the Dallas-based livestock company. It marked the second time this season and third in a year that Brunson has won the title at a rodeo in which Carr Pro Rodeo was the primary livestock producer ? Brunson won the Lea County Fair & Rodeo in Lovington, N.M., last August and won Pioneer Days Rodeo in Guymon, Okla., this past May.

?Pete?s got an even pen of bucking horses, which means that no matter what horse you draw, you have a chance to win,? said Brunson, who earned $2,804. ?That?s real important. It keeps it fair. At some rodeos you go to, there?ll be that one top horse, and if you get him drawn, then you?ve got first place. With Pete?s, you can win on anything, because everything?s good.?

Brunson was one of nine contestants who were crowned winners in eagle. He was joined by all-around champion Jesse Jolly, who earned $855 in steer wrestling and team roping; steer wrestler Tony Larsen, who won both go-rounds and the average and pocketed $2,052; team ropers Tyler Schnaufer and T.J. Watts, whose 14.2-second time on two runs and high finishes in both go-rounds earned each team member $1,223; tie-down roper Gary Haynes, whose two runs totaled 23.1 seconds and were worth $1,297; barrel racer Sherrylynn Johnson, who rounded the cloverleaf pattern in 17.48 seconds to win $1,395; bull rider Guytin Tsosie, who posted a 91-point score on Carr Pro Rodeo?s Synergy, worth $3,278; and bareback rider Kelly Timberman, who danced across the arena with Carr?s Riverboat Annie for 88 points to pocket $2,822.

Timberman, the 2004 world champion, matched moves with the big red roan mare, which finished No. 2 in the 2007 voting for top bareback horse of the year in the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association. Riverboat Annie?s sister, Pink Cadillac, helped Will Lowe to the title in Eagle a season ago.

No matter their legacy, cowboys know cowboys with Carr?s Rafter C brand give them a shot at winning any rodeo in which they might be matched together.

?He?s got some of the best horses out there,? Brunson said of Carr. ?He tries hard to get the best stock, tries to make it as good a deal for the cowboys as possible.?
