Our gracious heavenly Father,
We pause in the midst of this occasion,
mindful and thoughtful of the guidence that you have given us.
As Cowboy's and Cowgirl's, Lord we don't ask for any special favors,
we ask only that you let us compete in this arena, as in life's arena.
We don't ask to never break a barrier, or to draw a round of steer that's hard throw, or a chute fighting horse, or a bull that is impossible to ride, or a barrel that is difficult to go around.
We only ask that you help us to compete as honest as the horses and bulls we ride and in the same manner as clean and pure as the wind that blows across this great place of ours.
So when we do make that last ride that is inevitable for us all to make, to the place up there, where the grass is green and lush and stirrup high, and the water runs cool, clear and deep-
You'll tell us as we ride in,
that our entry fees have been paid.
These things we pray...
~AMEN~

I am a tiny Angel, I'm smaller than your thumb;
I live on Cowboy hat crowns, tha's where I have my fun;
Now God has many Angels, that he trains in Angel pools;
We become His eyes, ears and very special tools;
God's assignment for me is to keep watch over rodeo and competitors;
So God made me into a gold Angel hat pin;
Saying I must never leave and I vowed to always stay;
So if you see me on the crown of a Cowboy hat;
Simply tip your hat and say I prayer and believe that I will always be there;
Watching over you and
RODEO!!!
