Cowboy Dressage World is always thinking of something that is not only fun for our exhibitors but challenging. This year we are offering the CDW Team Trifecta. This is a TEAM competition. The fun is you will not know your fellow team riders until a draw for teams on Wednesday evening.

CDW is very excited about this competition as it has so many elements that we strive to share with our riders. Sportsmanship, fellow rider support,  strategy and horsemanship and of course a good time!

How it works:

• Each test will be a Team Trifecta Test and a separate entry from the regular tests.
• Teams will be 3 riders.
• Team riders will be drawn before competition starts.  Details will be emailed.
• Each rider on each team will ride all three tests
• The scores will be accumulative and the team with the highest collective scores will be the winner.
• Each winning team member will receive an engraved Molly Buckles.
• Ties to be broken by Soft Feel scores.
• If there is an odd number for teams, entered riders to balance teams will be encouraged to enter from CDW.
• Fee per rider is $180.

Justin Lawrence

Justin grew up in Exeter, California and grew up around cutting horses and cow horses. He started rodeoing at the age of 6. All through high school and college he participated in team roping, calf roping, steer wrestling, and rode saddle broncs. Justin was able to win state in the Bronc riding and Top 10 in the world in college. He started picking up instruments at the age of 10 and taught himself to play a variety of them. He learned by copying Chris LeDoux, Marty Robins, and other cowboy artists that sing about the lifestyle Justin is closest to. He started packing a guitar to the rodeos and started playing gigs at 18 years old. Now you can find him playing at breweries and restaurants while rodeoing professionally in the PRCA.

Together they will share their special talents from horsemanship to “ropemanship.”

• ARE YOU CONFUSED ON HOW TO HOLD THE POLE?
• DO YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT THE TRADITIONAL HAND HOLDS ARE AND WHY?
• HOW DO YOU KEEP YOU AND YOUR HORSE SAFE?
• THE HISTORY AND TRADITION, DO YOU WANT TO LEARN ABOUT THEM?
