We have lost another cowboy in 2011 and another Bill Pickett Trail Rider recipient, the second one this year. A few months ago we lost 87 year old "Red Rooster". Until a couple of months prior to his death he was still riding his horse Zydeco Bill with attending trail rides and rodeos. Rooster loved life...he loved being a cowboy and he loved his music. He would play his harmonica while the bands played. He helped the Bill Pickett Trail Riders at every event. He would say "Cynthia I got this." I said Rooster thanks. We lost another cowboy this week Mr. Richard Rivon owner of ABC Rivon's Arena. The place where cowboys could be cowboys regardless if the trail ride or competed in rodeo. Mr. Rivon respected them all. He was a promoter for rodeos and was the venue owner for rodeos and trail rides. He would run the club on weekends where the locals could come and listen to music and sit and chat about life. He helped so many children and changed some many lives. Both were recipients of the Bill Pickett Trail Riders Living Legend award. We give this award annually to thank the ones who have made a difference in the rodeo and trail ride arenas. We want to give the roses while people can smell them. So until we meet again in Heaven fields traveling down God's dirt roads of gold you will be missed. WE love the both of you. Happy Trails! |
