The Rhinestone Ropers

I had the great pleasure of meeting Dan, Kimberly, Lucky Joe The Trick Horse and Cody Mink this weekend 100608 at The Dixie Classic Fair. It turns out we have worked for a couple of the same agents.

 The Minks travel the US showing their multi-talented Cowboy and Cowgirl skills.

You have to catch their show!

The Rhinestone Roper Show

http://www.rrshow.com/

Featuring The Mink Family (Dan, Kimberly, and twelve-year-old Cody) from Jerome, Idaho.  The Minks have thrilled audiences from coast to coast with their award winning trick roping, bullwhip cracking, knife throwing, gun spinning and quick draw shooting  (We do not bring knives or guns to schools unless requested for safety message).  The show also includes amazing tricks by Lucky Joe the Trick Horse.  Some of the Minks notable achievements include:

Dan is the 2007 World Champion Gun Spinner, recipient of the Joe Bowman Showmanship award for Gun Handling and was chosen by the Fox Network to appear on the TV show 30 Seconds to Fame in Hollywood, California

 Kimberly is the seven-time World Championship and current Guinness World Record  (published in the 2008 Guinness World Record Book page 260) in the Women’s Big Loop and featured appearance on Ripley’s Believe It Or Not! spinning a big loop around a record 15 steers all at one time.

Twelve-year-old Cody was named Most Promising Young Roper at the 2003 International Wild West Arts Competition in Las Vegas, Nevada, is the two-time World Champion in the Texas Skip Race and is published in The Guinness Book of World Records for the youngest person to ever win that competition (2008 Guinness World Record Book pg. 260).

The Family has appeared together in many news and t.v. specials and was recently featured in the ABC Family Show "WIFE SWAP".

Did anyone go to the Amaizing Pet Adventure that Emily Byrd hosted on Sept. 27th?  I have not heard how that went and would like to know.

I was unable to go because I went to my grandbaby's birthday party.  TLamber was unable to go because of both parents health problems and it was his father's birthday also.

Sorry Emily but TL and myself hope to see you sometime soon at one of the Pet Adoption's.

"That would be me,' I replied".
