January Cowboy of the Month--Trevor Brazile


This month I’m starting a new year-long salute to cowboys. Each month I will profile a cowboy who inspires me to write my sizzling cowboy stories for you! I hope you enjoy, and I look forward to your comments.

To kick off the year I’m starting with the talented Trevor Brazile in honor of his Seventh All-Around Championship win! Yee-Haw! Congratulations, Trevor! Brazile won the title at this past December’s Wrangler National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas, NV. The 2009 win ties Brazile with bronc and bull rider Ty Murray, a legend in his own right, who dominated in 1989 - 1994.

A Texas native, Trevor has now qualified for the national finals 18 times in Steer Roping and Tie-Down Roping, and is the first cowboy to qualify for the NFR in 4 different events, (steer, tie-down, team roping header and heeler). A tough competitor, Brazile is the Triple Crown winning cowboy of 2007 by winning the All Around, Steer Roping and Tie-Down roping titles. He also holds the highest single-year earnings record for 2007 by banking $425,115.00. And if that isn’t enough, he’s also the youngest cowboy to cross the $3 million earnings mark! Wow! Sorry ladies. He’s happily married. ;-)

How does Brazile do it? Well, he has five things going for him—background, persistence, focus, horsemanship and practice. His rodeo roots run deep. His father, Jimmy, was a four time NFR qualifier in steer roping, and his mother, Glenda, rodeoed as well. While he was learning to walk, Trevor was also learning to swing a rope. And these days when Brazile is not in the arena competing for the gold buckle, he’s in the practice pen. Fellow cowboys say his focus and concentration are uncanny. Numbers don’t lie and it’s obvious this cowboy has no trouble shifting from one event to another at each rodeo. A skill he attributes to his father. "He wanted me to be an all-around cowboy, not just a tie-down roper, steer roper or team roper. He wanted me to excel in all of it," says Trevor. He also gives credit for his mental toughness to his father-in-law, five time World Champion Tie-Down roper and roping legend Roy Cooper.

When not traveling down the rodeo road, Brazile hangs his hat at his Decatur, Texas ranch where he enjoys family life with his wife and young son. He trains quarter horses and hopes to host roping clinics when (someday) he retires from the rodeo circuit.

The thing I like about Trevor is he is a true cowboy with a strong work ethic who lives, eats, and breathes the western life 365 days of the year. He’s tough, yet has the utmost respect and appreciation for his horses, stating that he’d be just another cowboy without the talent and athleticism of his four-legged partners. And, okay, I admit it, Trevor is a cutie, too!

Yeah, Trevor is definitely inspiration for a romance hero. What say you? What makes a cowboy hero material in your book?

Be sure to keep an eye out for February's Cowboy of the month coming soon!

I've always been a fan of Roy Cooper, since I was a kid and saw his picture on the front of a horse magazine (I can't remember which one) He was just a teenager himself and someone had written an letter to the editor because the horse in the photo with Roy had a piece of wire over his nose. The writer of the letter thought it this was terrible and shouldn't be on the cover. The editor posted a comment something about with all Roy Cooper's awards and wins, (even back then)the editor wasn't going to tell Roy Cooper how to train his horse.

Sherry James said...

Hi, Kathy. I remember that whole deal, too. Don't think I'd be telling Roy how to do it, either! ;-)

Thanks for stopping by.

Julie Miller said...

Cool info! I don't know much about cowboys, but I sure do like to look at them. ;)

The horses are gorgeous, too.

You're so knowledgeable about cowboys, rodeos and ranch life--it's no wonder you write such great cowboy stories!! COWBOY FLING is still my favorite :)

Tanya Hanson said...

Great blog, Sherry. I totally love Trevor. I write historicals and it seems most of my heroes are point riders. Drawl, black Stetson, mannerly to women and kind to kids and animals.

Keep up the good work.

Hey, Julie! I'm so glad you like Cowboy Fling. I just have to get that sequel done so Dorie has a chance to rope and tie her cowboy!

Thanks for stopping by!

Sherry James said...

Hey, Tanya! Great to meet you here. Thanks for stopping by. I like those attributes in a cowboy, too. You got to love a man who has a way with animals and kids!

Ride 'em cowgirl!

One day I will become a real-life cowboy as a real professional rodeo cowboy for the rodeo event for calf roping (tie-down roping) someday, I much only mostly prefer to rope calves around the necks only in the rodeos (which is what I'll be doing for only real fair life), and that's the way I ought to make my living as a real life cowboy as a rodeo, as I want to only be just a perfect rodeo calf roper and all I've wanted my whole life was just to be a great calf roper and everybody might think I am the perfect best greatest fastest tie-down calf ropers in the rodeos to show that one day, I could win the calf roping championships at the Calgary Stampede in Calgary, Alberta, the National Finals Rodeo (NFR) in Las Vegas, Nevada, the Spicer Gripp Memorial Roping in Hereford, Texas and the Mo'Betta Calf Roping up in Apache, Oklahoma, which means I would love to be featured in rodeo DVD's forever to be repeated forever and forever to stay alive forever and always just to show how well I am at my tie-down calf roping, everybody might think I am the perfect best greatest fastest tie-down calf ropers and ranchers to show that one day, I could win the calf roping championships at the Calgary Stampede in Calgary, Alberta, the National Finals Rodeo (NFR) in Las Vegas, Nevada, the Spicer Gripp Memorial Roping up in Hereford, Texas and the Mo'Betta Calf Roping up in Apache, Oklahoma, which means I would love to be featured in rodeo DVD's to show how well I am at tie-down calf roping.

Also, I'd be the perfect rodeo cowboy and western rodeo painter as the perfect western rodeo artist, someday, as if to do lots of rodeo tie-down calf roping action, steer wrestling action and bull riding action and a lot of ropers, some probably at the Mo'Betta, Spicer Gripp Memorial Roping, Calgary Stampede, and other rodeos, so many people could feel dominated at the sport of how well it's just the main event. Also, I'd be the perfect cowboy painter as the perfect western rodeo artist, someday, as if to do lots of calf roping action and calf ropers, steer wrestlers and bull riders in the rodeos.

William MacLeod (Calf Roper) said...

You know that sometimes when I am mowing lawns, I'm pretty much thinking a lot about calf roping, and for me to become a real calf roper, mowing lawns is what I would call roping calves, just to try and keep and get me in great shape for the real rodeo forever at 99 years of age and many other ages, as when I was mowing, I was thinking a lot about my calf roping and how I would be doing it for real like Joe Beaver and Josh Peek, as mowing the lawns would make me think a lot about calf roping and calf ropers as cowgirls, cowboys and rodeo calf ropers could probably sure be tough to also mow, as well, too, just to show good work and great shape, as everybody must say that they know I'll be a real rodeo cowboy and that I'm an oustanding young calf roper to mow lawns, and all of this is really the truth and that really sounds true, doesn't it?

You're welcome to e-mail my parents at bdmacleod@macleodgroup.ca, brianmacleod41@gmail.com, bdmacleod@ns.sympatico.ca, irenemacleod@gmail.com, irenemacleod@ns.sympatico.ca, irenemacleod@macleodgroup.ca and I'd be glad to go to the calf roping clinics and I would sure love to practice there a lot and this would definitely be good exercise for me and this would give me a chance to do a lot of this before I can try roping calves in the real professional rodeos (which I hope forever happens to me someday) as I don't really rope for the fun of it, but I'll be roping forever and forever and forever and ever and ever in the real life rodeo circuits and never retire from my roping, because that would be something that I would really love to do forver. I didn't grow up on a ranch and I wasn't even raised on a ranch, so I think that mainly, I might just hopefully rodeo full-time forever and I'll be glad to do it, if I ever get my driver's license and probably make it to your ranch, as I would practice a lot of calf roping there, hopefully sometime. I'd be glad to go to the calf roping clinics and I would sure love to practice there a lot and this would definitely be good exercise for me and this would give me a chance to do a lot of this before I can try roping calves in the real professional rodeos (which I hope forever happens to me someday) as I don't really rope for the fun of it, but I'll be roping forever and forever and forever and ever and ever in the real life rodeo circuits and never retire from my roping, because that would be something that I would really love to do forver. All of you are welcome to click on http://www.ropingcalf.com/RopingCalf/Brochure.html and I would like to try at an indoor or an outdoor practice, just to get a lot of fun out of it, just to see what it's really like because I would like to be real good at it, I would.

William MacLeod (Calf Roper) said...

Calf roping is my game forever in real life at the real rodeos in the real professional PRCA and many other rodeos hopefully for me in the future for me, which I hope really happens to me, because I've been probably wanting to do it for a long time.

I'd be glad to go to the calf roping clinics and I would sure love to practice there a lot and this would definitely be good exercise for me and this would give me a chance to do a lot of this before I can try roping calves in the real professional rodeos (which I hope forever happens to me someday) as I don't really rope for the fun of it, but I'll be roping forever and forever and forever and ever and ever in the real life rodeo circuits and never retire from my roping, because that would be something that I would really love to do forver.

I really wanna be a real rodeo tie-down roper‏, hopefully in the real professional rodeos because every night I dream of roping in the Calgary Stampede, the NFR, the Mo'Betta, the Laughlin River stampede, Cheyenne Frontier Days and many other different rodeos, which is what I'll be repeating so I can never retire at the age of 99 and just keep doing it forever and ever, hopefully.

ALL I'VE REALLY WANTED MY WHOLE LIFE WAS JUST TO TRY AND BE A GREAT REAL PROFESSIONAL RODEO CALF ROPER AND WESTERN ARTIST FOREVER AND EVER‏, YEEHAA AND YAHOO! That was not stressed, that was just excitement and happiness like :) :) :)

William MacLeod (Calf Roper) said...

My main hobbies are usually roping, going down the rodeo road forever and ever, and artwork. I'll never retire from calf roping at the age of 99 and also 9,092,39,4798,3002007 years of age and many other ages forever and ever after 9,092,39,4798,3002007 years of age, I'll keep on and be doing it forever and ever, because it's my passion and favorite event. Calf Roping is never too dangerous to be a hobby to me forever as it has to be something I think a lot about every day. I feel so glad that these rodeo cowboys and cowgirls past their prime can still compete in rodeo forever, as here a ninty-five-year-old contestant ropes and ties in an old timers' calf roping event, and believe that I will never retire from rodeo forever as I will rope forever at the age of 95, 99, 100 and many other ages forever, YAHOO! One of these days, when I never retire from rodeoing in calf roping, I'll always hit the rodeo road again forever! Calf roping is my game forever in real life at the real rodeos, hopefully in the future for me, which I hope really happens to me so you can really help me become a real rodeo tie-down roper, and all I've really wanted my whole life was just to be a great real rodeo tie-down roper? Wish me great real luck on the real rodeo cirucit, forever, you tell my parents that, OK. Just keep wishing me great luck to become a real professional rodeo cowboy on the real rodeo circuit forever and ever :) Get that real time machine invented sometime, just to go back to 1996-2010, so I can become those real cowboys of the rodeo when I really want to be one. Please be sure to e-mail my parents at bdmacleod@macleodgroup.ca, brianmacleod41@gmail.com, bdmacleod@ns.sympatico.ca, irenemacleod@gmail.com, irenemacleod@ns.sympatico.ca, irenemacleod@macleodgroup.ca and phone 1-902-863-5213, 1-902-867-7065 and 1-902-867-7250 and be sure to tell my parents is that I'd really be glad to go to the calf roping clinics and I would really for sure love to practice there a lot and this would definitely be good exercise for me and this would give me a chance to do a lot of this before I can try roping calves in the real professional rodeos and open ropings all over both the USA and Canada, and I really want my rodeo dream to come true, do you really believe and understand me?
