We had the espn available at our hotel while we were at the finals, but when I came home Monday, it was not available with my server here..:(

Awesome rides each night.

DV Bringing Home the Rodeo Winnings!

DV’s mom here.  He’s been on the rodeo trail without much time at a computer to post and the iphone doesn’t quite do what needs to be done to post to his blog.  DV has sent me several photos, details, etc to post on here for him… I had expected to do that today but time at the computer is running short for me today too… so look for new photos and info tomorrow.

Buckle Won Bennington, Kansas

2009 First Place Bareback at Bennington, KS. DV Fennell

Photo was taken with my cell phone… Sure enjoyed the win! 

3 in a row

Wow what fun! Everybody says that you can’t win em all, but it’s a lot of fun when it happens. I’d  been to to roughly 30
rodeos this season and hadn’t won first.  I had done well, but not a first place until the last week-end in May.

So it was nice to get some wins!  LOL.

AND  they came in a group:

First I went to Licking , MO and got on a colt that failed to buck.  Therefore I got a re-ride that was really good. 

This one stayed close to the bucking chutes and kicked every jump . 

I scored an 82 on him.

Then the winning streak held up all weekend. 

The next day I was entered at Cherokee,  IA.   I got a phone call from my traveling partner,informing me that you can’t win if you don’t go haha.

He knew that I had another colt and it was an 8 hour drive.  So I pinned my ears
back (got a stubborn determined ornery mindset) and headed that way.

2A1 horse was really good.  81 points (first place win # 2). 

BUT the one I had been looking forward to was on Saturday night in Ft. Smith, AR; 
” Billy The Kid” of Harry Vold rodeo co.   He almost bucked me off (I said almost LOL) but I
weathered the storm and scored 86 points, for a split first and second. 

All in all what looked like a chance to win one rodeo on paper turned into 3. I’m definetly not mad about it.

Gotta go , more to come from the busy season (4th of July run) starting June 30th and going thru July 5th.

Keep praying and be blessed

D V HERE!

 

 

drawing good and riding good

A guy can spin his wheels all year and have nothing to show for it come tax time, but thank the lord this winter has been good. I have been successfully placing and winning good checks at clovis. ca , Guymon, Ok , and Redding, caadding to my winter haul. I know that i have been blessed with great stock thanks to the prayers of family and freinds. After two surgeries last year it is good to come back strong with a chance at a world title. See you soon
