Subject: Lost finger.

A girl around 12 years old lost her pinky at the knuckle here this weekend.
They left the horn knot on the rope for the breakaway roping and when she roped she got her finger in the horn knot and it stripped it off the bone. They took her and her finger to Durango to see if it could be reattached but they went ahead and cut the bone off.
She's one tough little Navajo girl and never even whimpered, just trotted on out kinda holding her hand up by her chest.
The rope tightened down on her finger and it was dragged to the stripping chute.
I think these junior rodeos need a safety seminar at least once a year to try to prevent those kinds of mistakes.

Let me see if I am reading this correct...... they left the horn knot looped on the end of the rope and tied it with a string to the saddle horn with the loop still in the end of the rope? If so they were looking for a disaster. Thats to bad...... not sure when or where but I remember stopping a guy who just rode into the box and his horn knot was not tight and told him about it and he tightened it.... all I could think of was having your hand on the horn when the calf hit the end of the rope. So I always was one who looked for freak things before they happened. Here is another story of someone who lost a finger over the weekend.... inside>>>>>>> -- Varmit, 14:11:41 08/26/08 Tue
- Yep, you read it right. I'm surprised somebody didn't notice it because there were guys down there that should know better. (NT) -- Hap, 16:24:58 08/26/08 Tue
- Varmit - one of my friends is originally from Waterville. Her family is pretty prominent in the county and so I asked her if she knows Mr. Keane. Her response inside>>>>> -- Crystal, 12:20:20 08/27/08 Wed
