Chute Dogger at work
– Brian Gauck
Many of us sit back and giggle when we watch a 200 lbs man try and wrestle a 400 lbs steer to the ground. What many of us don’t know, is that chute dogging was invented to help cowboys practice steer wrestling.
Chute dogging is one of the oldest military events alive today. This event adheres to military who is deployed to other countries and cannot have a horse with them. This is why this event is important for our military members that are overseas and stationed away from home. Chute Dogging is attracting more competitors each and every year for our association and for that fact, we PAFRA have decided to open our chute dogging at our world finals to current military members in the association. Members who are going to join next year can come and compete in Midland, TX next year at our world finals.
For the past couple of years, the Marines have walked away with the World Title. Last year’s World Champion is Albert Ruiz and he won this title in his first year against some very tough competition. Competitors from Rough Stock to Ropers from all the different Branches of Service are all getting in on the action. Best thing about chute dogging is the Don’ts. You don’t need a horse, trailer, or any expensive equipment. All you need is the will to TRY! Anyone can do it and have a great time with your fellow competitors cheering you on.
Andy Baxley is the Chute Dogging Director for PAFRA and is a veteran for the United States Army and is a participant for this event. Please look us up on our website www.pafra2000.com for more info on how to become a member. We look forward to have more members in our association
