The Short Score: From Utah to Cheyenne

The Team Roping Journal was all over the place this weekend, from the ARHFA's Old West Rope Horse Futurity in Wallsburg, Utah, to the Cheyenne Frontier Days short round.

Miles Baker kicked off a historic weekend at the Old West Rope Horse Futurity, winning $50,000 in the Pre-Futurity Heading Thursday, July 25, on Relentless PYC. Baker talks about the mare they call Nala and why the win means so much to "a kid from Oklahoma."

With an 8.3-second run, Hayes Smith and Justin Davis won their first Cheyenne Frontier Days titles, something they've both dreamed of since they were kids. They break down their win and the emotions behind it.
