horse awards have
been some of the
accomplishments of
four-year Manor
FFA member Matt
Charles. As part of
his roping enter-
prise, he indicated
that he competes at
rodeos all over the
East Coast. He has earned several champ
ion belt buckels some worth as much as
$7OO as a team roping member. In the
summer of 1993, Matt indicated he quali
fied to compete in the high school national
finals in Gillette, Wyo. “This rodeo has
the most contestants of any rodeo in the
world,” noted Matt. Matt intends to com
pete in finals at Pocetello, Idaho in March.
Some lime back, Matt, 18, son of Jim
and Charlotte Charles, purchased a thor
oughbred horse that had not been ridden
for three years and needed a lot of training.
He spent $B5O plus an additional $lOO on
blacksmith, wormer, and feed. He worked
with the horse to improve the reining
skills, and, after attending an artificial
breeding course, went out two years ago to
breed his own horses. He plans on breed
ing horses for at least several years after
high school.
Matt indicated he wants to keep working
with a breeder service company for the
next several years and to keep roping at
rodeos.
