Oct. 3, 2002 - The Collegiate Horseman's Association hosted a "Stick Horse Rodeo" Thursday night at the Trowbridge Livestock Arena. The event was part of Ag Week 2002.

Seventeen clubs from the College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources participated in five different competitions: Hay Bale Tossing, Three-Legged Racing, Stick Horse Barrel Racing, Wheelbarrow Racing and Cider Chugging.

The Independent Aggies  used these items and some tricky maneuvering  to win first place in the Stickhorse Rodeo.  (Clockwise from left: Jeff Laughlin, Daniel   Schafer, Heinz Leigh and Allen Sharrock)
