Ted Chancey
How much do you practice?
We ride everyday. Sometimes we take Sundays off. I pretty much live at the barn.
Do you make your own horses?
Yes.
Who were your roping or rodeo heroes?
Jack Hennig. Roy Cooper changed the face of calf roping like the Camarillo brothers changed team roping. They might not necessarily be my heroes but I respect the impact they’ve had on the rodeo industry. Now days Trevor Brazile is someone for the younger guys to look up to.
Who do you respect most in the world?
Anthony J. Sacco – he gave me my first really good horse to ride when I was young and had confidence in me. He is still a good friend to this day.
Who has been the biggest influence in your life?
My dad.
If you had a day off what would you like to do?
Go fishing.
Favorite movie?
Lonesome Dove
What’s the last thing you read?
Bits by Lewis Taylor
How would you describe yourself in three words?
Driven, Laid Back, Patient
What makes you happy?
Listening to the horses eating early in the morning when it’s quiet, that brings me a lot of peace.
What makes you angry?
Abusive people – whether they’re abusive to animals or other people.
If you were given 1 million dollars, how would you spend it?
I’d build a covered arena and then give the rest to a children’s hospital.
What is your worst quality –
your best?
Though I’m patient with horses, I have a definite lack of patience with people. My best quality is my patience with my horses.
