Welcome to Gail Hughbanks Woerner's Official Website
We are almost to the Summer months of 2018 and I can’t believe it! Time flies when you are having fun! I can’t tell you how exciting my days are and so full of rodeo history. There is not a day that I don’t discover something I didn’t know about rodeo or about someone who participated in it. I say this with a great deal of appreciation and respect for the people who have given their lives to rodeo in one way or another. It seems that there are not that many rodeo contestants, performers, producers, secretaries, timers, pickup men and more that ever leave rodeo once they get involved in the sport. It is an amazing family of commitment and for that we are all grateful!
I want to thank everyone that reads my website, have bought my books, and have become my friends. The things I have done in the sport have expanded my life considerably and it has been a blessing. Often something happen in this world of ours today that causes me to remember, through my research, something in the distant past that was similar. History does repeat itself in many ways.
I am not talking about the tragedies that seem to be happening in our world just about every week. There have always been bad people that have done bad things, but not to the degree we see today.
But I will proudly say, it isn’t happening in the rodeo world as much or as often as it is in other places. Rodeo is truly a family sport. To be involved in rodeo one must practice, practice, practice – and that doesn’t happen without the support of family. When someone starts their rodeo career as a child you can bet the entire family is involved. Or it may be because the family is involved in rodeo in some way the child gets the desire to rope, ride broncs or bulls and more. But once that “rodeo bug bites” it seems to consume them. They never get enough of it and they always feel the next time they can do it better.
Put someone on a horse, out in the country, and they will see the world differently than they ever have before.
GOD BLESS OUR AMERICAN WEST.
