Rodeo loses a champion
PENDLETON - The world of rodeo lost one of it's best competitors this year at the Pendleton Round-Up when bucking horse Anchor Bay succumbed to injuries sustained at Wednesday's performance.

According to Cindy Schonholtz, animal welfare coordinator for the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association, Round-Up veterinarian Dr. Doug Corey treated Anchor Bay with pain medication and observed her while preparing to possibly transport her to Washington State College of Veterinary Medicine in Pullman, but she did not survive to make the trip.

T.J. Korkow, owner of the mare, indicated he had been willing to take all measures possible to save the horse.

"We raised the mare on the ranch in our bucking horse breeding program and we were going to retire her after this rodeo season to raise colts," he said.

Korkow had a lot to lose. Anchor Bay was a decorated bareback horse, selected for the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo nine times, taking many cowboys to the winner's circle including champion Will Lowe.

She bucked at her first NFR at the age of four and among her other achievements she was named the 2004 Badlands Circuit Finals Bareback Horse of the Year.

I wasn't there, but Mom said that she thought it happened OFF the grass. She stopped right in front of the bucking chutes and were able to quickly get her out of the arena without drama. Most of the paying public probably didn't realize anything happened. They think she broke her shoulder. (NT) -- Crystal, 09:13:55 09/15/08 Mon
- If anyone could have saved her, it would have been Dr. Corey and the Vet Hospital at WSU. They are awesome! And they are miracle workers. They brought Rylen's German Shorthair Pointer back from certain death this summer. He was attacked by two pit bulls while he was tied up at the house. He stayed a week at a vet's here in town, and they were losing him. He spent 3 weeks at Wazzu and is now back to about 100%. Too bad they couldn't get Miss AmeriTitle and Anchor Bay both to Wazzu. They could have been roommates! (NT) -- Crystal, 09:16:32 09/15/08 Mon
  - Did she fall down? Hit herself coming out? (NT) -- Varmit, 06:42:58 09/16/08 Tue
    - I just seen where it says she ran into another horse after the whistle. So don't know if was caused by the collision or fell down, or was with another bucking horse in the arena or pickup horse. (NT) -- Varmit, 06:45:49 09/16/08 Tue
