Rodeo at Orono fair grounds (Continued from page 1) observations about the money factor inl rodeo. "I've been in rodeos for twenty years and neyer made much mnore than enough to cover My expenses," he says. Barry, like most contestants, considers rodeo to be more of a hobby than a fuil-time occupation. Even baving bis horse fail on bim for the second time is, as lie says, "ail part of the game." Barry, who was nursing a sore leg, resuits of tbe fali which he and bis favourite horse, Rio took on Saturday, enjoys the Team Roping event most for the co- operation between the riders and their mounts. "Teamn Roping is the--only equestrian event where the horse acts independently of a rider or driver. Tbe horse bas to be "solid" (a rodeo terrni for experienced and dependable). And, that takes years of patient training." Barry brought tbree horses to the Finals; Heading Horse, Rio, Heeling Horse, Cocoa and Okie, a the year: Vegetables - Helen Schmid, 24 points. Cut Flowers - Lorna Atkins, 62 points. Press Sec. Doreen Lowery caif roping horse for bis son Jason, a second-generation rodeo performer wbo was entered in the Calf Roping Finals. Keeping rodeo in the family and the famuly in rodeo is a family affair. Barry's niece, Amanda Jane Hughes, was a finalist in ie Cowgirl Breakaway Roping this year. Amanda, who is a Drama Student at Mayfield School For the Arts in Brampton and performed as a stunt double for Sara Polley in the series, Road to Avonlea, says that "rodeo is a good summer job."ý Barry's wife, Barbara Newlands, now retired from tbe rodeo circuit is the only Level Two, English and Western Tramner certified by the Canadian Equestrian Federation in Canada. She teaches at their ranch. -Barry, wbo grew up in the age of T.V. Westerns and nurtured a love for horses, got bis start in rodeo riding the bulîs, but says that be knew it wasn't for him after four seconds in the ring. "You don't see many old bulîriders," be observes witb a gri. Barry and bis partner, Brian Doner, rode head and beel for each other while in competition for the coveted Silver Buckle. Competition is tierce, but only the best split the pot. It's a tougli, demanding, dangerous and dirty hobby. So why docs Barry do it? "Because -it's better than golf," lie says.
