The summer is winding down, but the ProRodeo action is not. From Greeley and Cowboy Christmas, to Salinas and Cheyenne, The Short Score is covering everything that has happened this summer as we roll into August.

Andrew Ward and Jake Long got Cowboy Christmas rolling earlier this summer with the Greeley Stampede win in June for $11,225 a man. And while Ward and Long were amongst the top of team roping's Cowboy Christmas earners, Clint Summers and Jade Corkill led the pack with $29,897 apiece.

Dustin Egusquiza and Levi Lord capitalized at the NFR Open in Colorado Springs, Colorado, winning the sudden-death finals with a 4.8-second run and claiming over $15,000 each. The win also secured them their first national circuit titles.

The longest score in ProRodeo and a the only five-head battle, California Rodeo Salinas was no problem for Tanner Tomlinson and Travis Graves. They roped five steers in 48.5 seconds to claim the win and $11,254 each.

Aaron Tsinigine and Jeremy Buhler won their second major PRCA rodeo of the summer, first with the Reno Rodeo and now the Cheyenne Frontier Days. But their road to No. 1 was perhaps less than conventional.

When we examine the qualities of a safe and efficient equine veterinary space, the focus quickly narrows to cleanability. The more time your team spends cleaning, the less time they spend doing money-making or value-added work. Here, we will explore concepts in cleaning, focusing on the interrelated goals of safety and efficiency.

EquiManagement on Audio

All the articles you have come to love in EquiManagement Magazine are now available in this podcast for free. Each article is released as its own separate episode to make them quick and easy to listen to. EquiManagement always has the latest insights on equine health, veterinary practice management, and veterinarian wellness.

In this month’s episode, Aviva reflects on the weight of social media on our riding, how easy it is to criticize in the name of “critiquing” and how we can never know the full story just from a picture of a video. She and Stephany share their thoughts on how we can all be kinder, and as riders we can always work to be better, but that most people are out their doing their best every ride. Stephany shares her latest win with Dante and getting qualified for Regionals.

In the Ask the L segment, Aviva talks about posting versus sitting in Training and First Levels. She discusses the various reasons behind what judges are looking for and how you can best help your horse with either choice.

We have a word from our sponsor, EquestrianPlus, and then Stephany meets back up with Beth for round two of the bit discussion.

This month, we dive deeper into some of the things Beth talked about last month, including metals, bit sizes and weight. They go on with the discussion to talk about double bridles - what the purpose is, when to try it, and how different curb bits work in the mouth. It was another fascinating dive into the world of bit fitting, and we are so happy that Beth could join us for a second chat!

Again, If you have questions for Beth, please forward them to her directly, or send them to us so we can share them with everyone on a future episode! As always, if you like what we are doing, please like and share our podcast!

Resistol Rookie Haiden Thompson’s 2025 ProRodeo season just kicked into high gear—and she’s taking us along for the ride in this week’s episode of the The Breakdown Podcast.

The Wyoming cowgirl racked up an eye-popping $21,041 in earnings in just one week, with cash-ins at Estes Park, Sheridan, Casper, Gunnison and Cheyenne. That whirlwind run didn’t just move her up the WPRA World standings—it launched her into the lead of the Resistol Rookie race.
