This week World Champion bareback rider Kaycee Field gained one championship title that he has not been able to call his throughout his entire rodeo career.  For an amazing and legendary cowboy Field has won three straight world championship titles but the title of bareback riding champion for the Ellensburg rodeo has eluded him his entire career.  Last week Field’s bucket list became a little shorter as he did finally win his first Ellensburg (WA) rodeo title.  His first title at the Ellensburg Rodeo Arena was awarded on Monday after a total of 169 points on two head.  Field said, “This was one of the rodeos, for sure (on my bucket list), I wrote a whole bunch of goals down in January on my mirror and that was one of my goals, and it means a lot for me to win there.”  Kaycee made sure the title was coming home with him this year when he found out what his match up would be for the championship short go round.  He drew a horse that he had a lot of experience on and rodeo Calgary Stampede’s Special Delivery for 87  championship points to gain his first Ellensburg Rodeo title.  He talked about his match up by saying, “I had him (Special Delivery) at the NFR in 2012 in the fifth round, and I knew he was going to be quite a handful, but it was a lot of fun.”  He went on to say,  “Going into it, I knew that horse would have one or two moves and be pretty strong. So my main focus before I got to the rodeo and got down in the chute was to be strong with my core and my feet, and try to just muscle through that first jump, and then let loose and get rolling.”  Kaycee Field shows no signs of letting up these last three weeks and has his eyes set on his coveted 4th consecutive bareback World Championship!

Fan favorite Professional Rodeo Cowboy Association saddle bronc rider Wade Sundell travelling thousands of miles over this past weekend. The Boxholm, Iowa cowboy earned four checks in three different states that included three event wins. Sundell started his weekend run fifth in the PRCA Saddle Bronc world standings and made a huge dent in the gap by taking home his biggest check of the weekend by winning his “hometown” rodeo, the Dayton Championship Rodeo, with a winning ride aboard Cervi Championship Rodeo’s horse Fire Bomb.  Even though severe weather and tornado warnings were being issues Sundell must have thought they were for him as the “mud hole” bowl at the Dayton arena began filling with water.  He also collected big wins  at the Will Rogers Memorial Rodeo in Vinita, Okla., and the Pine City (Minn.) Championship PRCA Rodeo where the Miss Rodeo Minnesota pageant was held for the first time.  Elk City, Oklahoma was good to Sundell as well when he split third place with fellow saddle bronc rider, Ty Atchison.  Wade Sundell put a dent in the world standings by winning $6,076 over this past weekend in the great Midwest and now he has his sights set on winning his first career world title at the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo in December inside the Thomas & Mack in Las Vegas, Nevada!
