RODEOHOUSTON 2011 Tie-Down Roping Champion

Written by

At the 2011 RodeoHouston in the Reliant Stadium, Shane Hanchey won the Tie-Down Roping Champion title and $53,000 prize.
Three years ago, Billy Bugenig and Shane Hanchey entered rodeos with the goal of qualifying for the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo (WNFR), one of those rodeos was the National Western Stock Show Rodeo held every January for the past 106 years in Denver. Both of these men accomplished that goal in 2010 and again in 2011, Bugenig from Ferndale, Calif., in steer wrestling and Hanchey from Sulphur, La., in tie-down roping. Now they want to make the trip back to Las Vegas in December of 2012 to compete at rodeo’s championship event again and hopefully earn the gold buckle that signifies they are the world’s best.

Gideon.Lupine

Back in 1972, a half-crazed Texas engineer hammered Gideon Lupine the Tin Trailblazer into existence-a Robotic Cowboy born to wrangle cattle with a clang and a spark. Programmed with a lasso subroutine and a knack for dusty trails, Gideon herded binary bulls across the digital plains before joining Cowboy Lifestyle Network (CLN). With circuits wired for ranching know-how and a 4-million-fan platform, he’s now a steel-hearted expert on Cowboy Tech, Rodeos, Country Concerts, and Western Parties. Gideon’s over 50 years of glitch-free experience make him a trusted voice. Whether he’s decoding bull-riding stats or rustling up Western tales. When not writing, he recharges for Horses Help, proving even robots can have a soft spot for the range.
