The historic Jackson Hole Rodeo is unique among Western events — it takes place two nights per week in July and three nights per week during August — in the shadow of the majestic Teton Range in Jackson, Wyoming. Everyone can catch a little bit of Old West cowboy courage at the rodeo.
The Jackson Hole Rodeo is a great op-
portunity for young and older cowboy con- testants to have fun, hone their skills with the best rough and roping stock around, and have a chance to win money and great prizes. The schedule makes it easy to fit in Jackson, Wyoming, between seasonal regional rodeos.
More than $42,500 cash (plus saddles and buck- les) was awarded last year! There are great camp-
All Summer Event! grounds (and fishing) in one of the prettiest places on earth. The Rodeo
has been run by the Wilson family (with six generations of competitors) for more than 100 years! In addition to adult contests between bucking horse or bull and rider, roping and speed events, there are the crowd favorites of mini-bull and sheep rid- ing for tough little cowboys and cowgirls. The Rodeo begins at 8 pm every
Wednesday and Saturday from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day, and adds every Friday in August. Rodeos are also held on July Fourth and during the Teton County Fair. Rodeo grounds are at 447 Snow King
Avenue, Jackson, Wyoming. Information: 307-733-7927. Rodeo Entries: 307-733- TJHR/8547. Tickets may be purchased online for $15 to $30 (with youth and senior dis- counts) at
jhrodeo.com; or at the gate (no discounts).

Dear RMR: That Party girl also causes misty eyes! [“Let’s Party”; RMR
June 2013] For what it’s worth, here is our old Cherokee treatment for
suspected liver problems: thistle heads. I’ve seen horses go out of their way to eat them and I let my horses eat them when out riding. The time for thistle blooming is the time when a horse needs that help. After foaling one time, my black Morgan mare seemed list-
less. My veterinarian, Bob White (not the quail), drew blood. It did show something slightly wrong.
I then remembered what I had been raised with — gather 3/4 bloom thistle heads. She scarfed them down…every day. The vet re-checked her in a week, and found that all signs of liver trouble were gone. From then on I remembered to let my horses go off the trail while riding to delight in thistle heads! Don’t forget, a horse seems to know what plants it
needs. — Harold Wadley, St. Maries, ID
