Kicking Up Dust
with the Joseys
By Tammy Randall for Josey Ranch
Marshall, Texas June 26, 2010 -- If you are in anyway involved
with horses, you will be lost for words when you drive through
the gates at the Josey Ranch in Marshall, Texas. Located on the
outskirts of Marshall in east Texas, the 200+ acre ranch is a barrel
racer’s dream. This is the place to learn everything there is about
barrel racing and/or roping and how to care for your horse.
The fi rst school at the Josey Ranch started in 1967 and had thirtythree
students in attendance. The cost then was $100 and the clinic
lasted two weeks. Meals, stalls, and horse feed were all included
in the tuition. In 2010, things have changed some, with eighty-six
showing up this year for training that will make each and every one
a better rider and a more knowledgeable competitor. They came
from Arkansas, Alabama, Arizona, Minnesota, Oregon, Georgia,
California, Ohio, New Mexico, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Mississippi,
Missouri, Kansas, Colorado, Illinois, and of course, Texas.
What an impact, a huge infl ux of energetic, excited folks have
had on a small town like Marshall for the past forty-three years. It is
a time each year that all of Marshall Texas enjoys.
Riders come to Josey’s Ranch knowing that Martha and R.E. Josey
have one goal in their minds and in the minds of their outstand-
ing staff. That goal is to teach and inspire them all to do best what
they love to do. They will receive instruction and know-how that
only the Josey Ranch can give.
It is safe to say that not many instructors have infl uenced people
as much as Martha and R.E. They are role models for countless students,
old and young. Each student who pulls into Josey Land, USA
for the fi rst time is amazed at the layout and all that the Ranch has
to offer. The Joseys have unrivaled expertise in their abilities and are
enjoying passing those skills and knowledge on to others through
their clinics and schools. They are both in Texas Rodeo’s Hall of
Fame, Texas Cowboy Hall of Fame, and the Ark-La-Tex Sports
Museum, and Martha is in the Cowgirl Hall of Fame. Their school
and clinics have top
instructors. They love to win, and they know all the ins and outs of
teaching others to do the same.
The Josey Ranch just wrapped up their seven day barrel racing
school and camp on Saturday, June 26. It was a week fi lled with
excitement for all ages. Although the youngest student at the camp
was age eight, the average age to attend the schools is between
twelve and twenty, but it’s common to see many in their 50’s, 60’s
and 70’s.
In barrel racing, there is no age limit. Anyone with the desire to
barrel race will be successful at the Ranch. What each will learn
from the Joseys is to be the best competitor they can be. Team Josey
Instructors who consist of Ty Mitchell, Gary Arthur and Chris
Martin will journey to Minnesota, Utah, Missouri, California,
Florida, Mississippi,
Oklahoma and Kentucky to give barrel racing clinics the remainder
of the year. The Josey’s won’t be stopping any time soon;
Martha has been selected as the WBRC Youth Team Captain in
the North American Barrel Racing Challenge. Josey Barrel Racing
Schools are talked about worldwide and have former students from
countries such as France, Brazil, Puerto Rico, Australia and this
spring hosted a student from Beijing, China.
Martha and R.E. keep these students busy on and off their
horses. When asked what time the school hours were, R.E. said,
“From can to can’t each day.” There is not much down time at the
Josey Ranch.
The previous week a three day clinic was held and two students
from Hawaii attended, Emmy and Tiare Ilgen with their father
Tony, who is a veterinarian. People come back year after year. The
Boudreaux family attended clinics in the 1980’s with their sixteen
year old daughter, Robin. Following her death in a tragic car accident
in 1989, they eventually adopted three children and this year
came back with their grandson, Andrew.
Cheyenne Harper, son of Debbie Harper, former student and
NFR qualifi er, and grandson of James Harper attended the Calf
Roping Clinic for many years and has now been an instructor for
the past three years. At the end of Josey’s Roping School this year,
he won second at the Coleman, Texas PRCA Rodeo.
Be watching for the 2010 Josey Jr. World to be on RFDTV the
following times:
