By Susan Kanode for the Caldwell Night Rodeo
CALDWELL, Idaho (Aug. 17, 2022)— Saddle bronc rider Sage Newman is having the time of his life doing what he loves most, and that showed at the second performance of the Caldwell Night Rodeo.
When Newman, from Melstone, Montana, got to the rodeo, he was number one in the world standings. The way he rode here, he is likely to increase his lead over the man in second place, reigning world champion Stetson Wright. Wright will compete in saddle bronc riding on Friday night.
Newman was just half a point off of the arena record of 91 set in 2011 by Shawn Stroh. He rode Calgary Stampede’s horse Burban for 90.5 points and is now in the lead and will be back here on Saturday for Championship Night. If anyone moves him down the leaderboard, there will be a tie for the arena record or a brand new one.
An 18-year-old stole the show in the breakaway roping at the D & B Arena on Wednesday. Josie Conner from Iowa, Louisiana, has been the most consistent breakaway roper here so far. She stopped the clock in the first round held on Monday in 2.6 seconds and won $1,339 in a tie for second place.
That time also gave her an opportunity to progress to the second round and rope in front of Caldwell’s fans. She is now leading the second round with a 2.7 second run and is leading the overall standings by a full second. Conner has a total time of 5.3 seconds on two head. Hope Thompson of Abilene is second with a total time of 6.3. Breakaway ropers need to be in the top six in the overall standings to have a chance at winning the Caldwell Night Rodeo championship.
Once again, the bulls from Powder River Rodeo dominated with just one successful ride. The first performance saw Trey Holston from Fort Scott, Kansas score 85.5 points on Cherry Bomb. Then Levi Gray of Dairy, Oregon was 85 on Wednesday night riding Grand Theft.
The third performance gets underway at 8 p.m. August 18th at D & B Arena where it is CNR Strong night raising funds for local cancer support.
This was the first year that breakaway roping was part of the professional competition in the D&B Supply Arena. There was a tie for the first-place spot and both women will get a pair of trophy spurs from the Caldwell Night Rodeo. Fowler, Colorado’s Erin Johnson and Loni Lester from Gonzales, Texas both finished the rodeo with total times of 8.3 seconds on three runs for the championship.
Kaycee Feild from Genola, Utah, tied for the bareback riding win with his traveling partner Cole Reiner from Kaycee, Wyoming. This was Reiner’s first win here and the third for Field.
Other champions were Clayton Hass, Weatherford, Texas, in the steer wrestling, team ropers Tyler Wade, from Terrell, Texas and Trey Yates, from Pueblo, Colorado and barrel racer Ivy Saebens from Nowata, Okla.
Plans are underway for the 98th Caldwell Night Rodeo. More information is available at www.caldwellnightrodeo.com
