The Circle L at the Finals!! |
I thought I would share one of our adventures with you all. The adventure was special to the Circle L as you will see.
Circle L Ranch qualified to go the the 2014 WSRRA National Ranch Rodeo Finals in Winnemucca, Nevada. The 975 mile trip was full of beautiful scenery, good talks, and fun times.

Pictures do not show all the beauty that we saw. Nebraska, Wyoming, Utah and Nevada have some pretty neat scenery!

The WSRRA finals were held October 30 – Noveber 2, 2014 at the Winnemucca Event Center in Winnemucca, Nevada. The Circle L Ranch qualified at the Kremmling Ranch Rodeo in Colorado! The WSRRA held over 40 sanctioned ranch rodeos in 13 different states.
This years finals were extra special to the Circle L. As most of you know, we lost Papa, (My Cowboy’s Dad) to cancer in August, and the WSRRA selected his memorial to receive part of the WSRRA Cowboy Crisis Fund.
On behalf of Loomis Family we would like to say “Thank You for the overwhelming support to our family.”
We would like to say Thank you to WSRRA.

The WSRRA selected Mama (Darlene) to be their 2014 WSRRA Grand Marshall. “What an honor, Mama said.”
Every team that qualifies for the WSRRA National Finals must compete in the Ranch Horse Compition, Team Roping, Tie Down Steer Roping, Trailer Loading, Sort & Rope Doctoring and Team Branding. Each event is timed.
Circle L’s first event was the Working Ranch Horse Competition. Cody Intermill showed his horse, Little Anne. Little Anne and Cody did a great job representing Circle L! Congrats to both of them.
