Rodeo Terminology in the Navajo Language [04:26]
Rodeo, or known as Ahóóhai in the Navajo language, is a very popular sport on the Navajo reservation. Since many Navajos have cattle, it's not suprising that Navajos undertaken this competitive sports event. This video basically covers the names of the events in Navajo, both timed and rough stock events. This video also covers the names of key individuals involved in a rodeo, for example: Akałii: Cowboy: Dóola Bił Naalgeedígíí: Bull Rider Hastiin Łá̜ At'ínígíí: Rodeo Clown Bił Nída'algeedgo Nídayiiláhígíí: Pick-Up Man The term "rodeo" in Navajo comes from the word "Naa'ahóóhai," which means "chicken" in Navajo. Rodeos on the reservation initiated around a "chicken-pull." Over time, this word got shortened to "ahóóhai," and rather than being named after chicken pulls it became the term for "rodeos" as rodeos got popular on the reservation. Also, some people will use the term "Naa'ahóóhai" or "Ahóóhai" for agricultural shows; tribal, county, or state fairs.

Double Stitch Hancock [00:26]
Nine year old AQHA gelding--registered blue roan but is actually gray. Running 3D times with sporadic hauling due to owner being away at college. Should make a solid 2D horse. Easy to ride and quiet in the alley, would be suitable for a youth step-up horse. Stitch is more of a push-style horse but is NOT a barrel crasher. Currently runs in a draw bit and loose tiedown. He has also been played with on poles and has been hauled to rodeos, ridden in the grand entry, and tracked cattle out of the arena. He loads easily, hauls well, and has overnighted tied to the trailer with no problems. Eats and drink on the road. He has good feet and is barefoot at the moment, but has been shod before with no problems. Asking $5000 or may consider trade for a papered well-broke prospect or started horse age 4-6. If inquiring about a trade, please include pics, pedigree, and video (if you have one) of your horse.

Charmayne James & Scamper - 97 Tucson, Az Rodeo [01:00]
Charmayne James & Scamper make a winning run at the 1997 La Fiesta De Los Vaqueros Rodeo in Tuscon, AZ. At this point, Scamper was semi-retired, yet could still win rodeos. I love the way he nudges Charmayne during the interview. Scamper was saying, "your stealing my spotlight."
