Gary Leffew Teaching the Young Guns of Professional Bull Riders (PBR)

Did you ever think that maybe it’s not just by chance when you stumbled onto something or someone way bigger than you could ever even imagined?

Me either – well until I watch Gary Leffew from a distance sitting on the arena fence at the Youth Bull Riding World Finals videoing the riders.

Gary Leffew spent the week in Abilene with his mini HotMan team but made himself available to any rider who wanted to talk about what went right or what went wrong during their ride.

At 74 years old his passion for the sport of bull riding is still undeniable.

“There will always be a changing of the guards – the future of bull riding is right here!” Gary Leffew said.

I used to think he “arrived” in 1970 when he won the National Finals Rodeo but I’m pretty sure that’s when he stumbled onto his purpose and the impact he would have in the sport of bull riding was just getting started.

This isn’t the “great” debate on who’s the best bull riding coach – every rider has the responsibility of finding the style of teaching that works best for them but, there’s no denying the number of Champions that have sprouted out of the Hotman tree.

Forty-eight years after winning his world title he is still chasing white lines all over the country putting on bull riding schools- makes you wonder if he’s looking for his next protege or if he really just wants to see a champion in every Young Gun he meets.

Gary Leffew will be inducted into the Ring of Honor at the 25th PBR Unleash the Beast World Finals Nov 7-11 in Las Vegas for his commitment to the past, present, and future of the sport of bull riding.

If his legacy teaches us anything it’s that there is not one finish line when driven by purpose.

Congratulations Gary Leffew the impact you have made in the Professional Sport of Bull Riding will be felt for generations to come!

Indian National Finals Rodeo (INFR) 2018

The first ever Indian National Finals Rodeo was held in 1976, the brainchild of five people who wished to unite several regional Indian Rodeo Associations from the U.S. and Canada. And that’s how the first ever INFR took place at the Salt Palace in Salt Lake City, UT, with champion Indian cowboys and cowgirls competing against each other.

Today, the INFR sanctions almost 700 rodeos across the nation, and offers more than a million dollars in prize money, making it the largest organization of its kind in the whole world. Competitions are held throughout the year, culminating in the Indian National Finals with more than 350 contestants competing against each other in eight events.

Currently operating in eleven regions in the US and Canada, the age of its members ranges from 8 to 80! The 2018 inductees include Wright Bruised Head, Yvette Vega, Ed Hall, Jack Foreman and Leonard Williams Sr. This year, 75 tribes have been represented at the event. Most INFR members also belong to the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association.

The INFR Commission works alongside a number of youth rodeo associations as well the National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association and National High School Rodeo Association. In doing so, it helps athletes progress from youth rodeo to professional rodeo. Additionally, it raises awareness and conservation of the INFR for Professional Indian Cowboys and Cowgirls. It also runs an INFR Scholarship Program that has provided more than $50,000 in scholarship assistance since 2005 to the members of the organization.

This year, INFR will be held across October 23 to 27 at the South Point Equestrian Centre in Las Vegas. Tickets are available for sale at the Information Booth there. You can also reserve a room online at the South Point website at www.southpointcasino.com.

Chambers Clinic improves your health for a better life

Chambers Clinic – with locations in Scottsdale and Tempe, Arizona – serves as a one-stop shop for all your medical needs. It is the only naturopathic medical practice of its kind in the U.S to offer services that include cardiology, oncology, natural pain treatment, hormones and more.  

Dr. Keith Chambers founded Chambers Clinic ten years ago and thrives with a 95 percent patient referral rate.

“Naturopathic medicine offers a better way to look at your health. It’s more comprehensive and more individual. We spend a lot of time with you, look deeply at lab results and use tried-and-true natural methods before resorting to drugs and surgery. Those have their place but we have so many more tools at our disposal and we’re able to get results for patients much faster and more effectively,” says Dr. Chambers.

Dr. Chambers grew up farming and ranching in the Midwest.  “When you’re outdoors all the time, you get a sense of the way nature works. Yet somehow when it comes to medicine, we often see the opposite.”

He says he always wanted to be a doctor and even declared pre-med in college. However, the more he learned about the conventional medical world, he found it really wasn’t helping people the way he thought it would, so he pursued other avenues. He went to business school, taught chemistry and built and sold businesses.

A fourth-degree black belt in karate, he discovered naturopathic medicine in the mid-90’s when he got injured during training. He became enthralled with learning how the medicine helped people without side effects and went back to med school.

Naturopathic doctors are regulated by a state physicians board and have pharmaceutical prescribing rights. “Eight-five percent of the time, we are able to have better outcomes using natural remedies than if you throw a drug at it. If we don’t have results, we will refer patients elsewhere. Luckily we’ve never had to do that,” Dr. Chambers says.  

Chambers Clinic stays ahead of the curve with cutting-edge services including an IV suite, blood draws, ultrasound-guided pain injections, a cryotherapy chamber, a green laser weight loss device, steam and sauna rooms, hydrotherapy, colonics, massage, acupuncture, and a fully-stocked Chambers Supplements shop.

“I want to influence people to think about their health and take the next step to get help. We can only control ourselves and I think that if we can have an effect on moving someone to take action to improve their health and their life, it’s is a wonderful thing.”
