Cheyenne — Wyoming Day 2011 at the 105th annual National Western Stock Show took place Saturday. The Wyoming Stock Growers Association (WSGA) once again organized a trip for all interested parties that began out of Cheyenne, Wyo. Close to 80 people from Colorado’s neighbor to the north participated in this event, including new Gov. Matt Mead and his family as well as 18 state legislators. I was a guest of the WSGA for this trip down south to experience Wyoming Day 2011 at the National Western Stock Show.
Wyoming Day 2011 at the National Western Stock Show Has Been a Tradition for Over 30 Years
Wyoming Day has been celebrated at this Denver event since 1979, according the WSGA President Frank Shepperson. The “National Western” has wanted to acknowledge the state for its historical and continued contributions to agriculture and ranching, and has set aside the last Saturday to do so, especially during the matinee rodeo.
Jim Magagna, WSGA’s Executive Vice President, commented, “Wyoming Day at the National Western Stock Show has a long history. Since some of the very earliest years, the Wyoming people have gone down there and had a special day of recognition at the Stock Show.” Continue Reading

State Supreme Court Upholds State Laws Allowing Independent Review Agency
The Supreme Court has upheld the laws of states that allow WYO Rodeo members to receive a second opinion from an independent reviewer to determine if some medications are deemed “medically necessary.” With a favorable review in hand, the patient has a major legal advantage if the WYO rodeo board refuses to allow competition.
The case involved John Moran, an WY resident who was a member of Rush Prudential Rodeo Union through her employer. When she began experiencing severe arm and shoulder pain, she consulted physicians within the HMO network who all suggested surgery, but a physician outside the network suggested a more advanced surgery costing nearly $100,000. The HMO refused coverage for the procedure on the grounds that it was “medically unnecessary.”
Under Wyoming law, an HMO is required to provide treatment that is determined to be medically necessary by an independent medical review. Moran made a written demand for a review of her claim. Rush denied the claim, so Moran sued, and a state court ordered the review. After the independent review found the procedure to be medically necessary, Rush still refused to provide it.
Moran had the surgery anyway and paid for it herself, then she amended her complaint to seek reimbursement. A federal district court treated Moran’s claim as a suit under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) and denied it on the ground that ERISA preempts the state laws that allow the independent medical review.
ERISA was enacted to bring uniformity to employee benefits, and for that purpose it overrides state statutes that deal with employee benefit plans. But ERISA does not override state laws established to regulate insurance. The 7th Circuit, using the common-sense approach that HMOs are essentially part of the insurance industry, determined that ERISA does not preempt the states’ authority to regulate them as insurance providers.
The 7th Circuit upheld the Wyoming law and Moran’s right to the independent medical review. The US Supreme Court affirmed. For the full text of the decision, go to www.supremecourtus.gov/opinions/01pdf/00-1021.pdf

10 years and still running strong! – 1998 to 2009 Exciting NEW product to the Equine Industry! Now there is an all natural product for both horse and rider…..that really WORKS! This is the new approach to influencing a living organism without the use of chemicals or drugs. The LifeWave System allows organic materials to interact with the human or animal body to improve energy, performance and stamina without ingesting anything, or anything going through the skin into the body. Nothing enters the body. Energy transfer occurs between the person or animal and the patches. The patches “transmit” the instructions to the body to do certain things, such as “burn fat, make energy,” or “make more of the miracle molecule, Glutathione.” Classifieds and host arenas. Nanotechnology is described as “Manufactured products that are made from atoms. The properties of these products depend on how these atoms are arranged. If atoms are rearranged in coal, we can make diamonds. If atoms are rearranged in sand (and a few other trace elements are added) we can make computer chips. If atoms are rearranged in dirt, water and air, we can make potatoes.” This is the beginning of an entirely new way of treating the body with “frequency modulation,” tuning functions much like you would tune in your TV or radio to the satellite. Instead of using drugs or chemicals, we can use frequencies to enhance health and well-being. When I read the concepts of Lifewave and the research that has already been done, I had a vision of where this technology could go. The possibilities are endless and exciting. We live in a world of pharmaceuticals and chemicals – many of them to our detriment in the long run. More and more attention is being paid to alternative methods of achieving good health and long life. Preventative medicine is becoming a huge industry. We don’t want to live on drugs! As every holistic practitioner knows EVERY BODY HAS THE INTRINSIC CAPACITY TO HEAL ITSELF. Sometimes, it just needs some help. The importance of proper, chemical-free diet, proper supplementation of vitamins, minerals and other natural enhancers, cannot be over-emphasized. Now we have something even more amazing to add: “Computer Software for the Body” which gently encourages healthy functioning without side-effects. The LifeWave system is endorsed by: DR. LAUREN DEROCK, DVM (20 year practice) www.drderock.com Specific Points to use: EASY BACK POINT This is a point I frequently start my treatments with. You can’t go wrong in using this point, on your horse and on yourself. To test whether your horse might be sore in the back or hip area, palpate the horse about 3 or 4 inches from the midline of the back. Press consistently with at least 3 pounds of pressure. Proceed towards the tail. Horses will often show discomfort, extreme pain or even buckle at the knees and almost drop to the ground. To further understand why horses may become sore in the back and the base of the neck area and girth, go to www.drderock.com and read about “How Horses Work”. Crookedness is very detrimental to everything about the horse. Read some of Dr.DeRock’s articles about “straight” vs. “crooked” and the “Sacro-Sciatic Syndrome.” This is essential to your understanding of your horse. But you can help your horse immediately with the application of Lifewave Patches. This point is very good for general well-being in all animals and people. It strengthens the Chi, or Life Force, strengthens and balances Kidney and Adrenal function. It is a balancing point for the entire body. It also is very useful in treating back pain in people and horses whatever the origin. In my experience it seems to affect the Iliopsoas Muscle which controls the pelvis and helps to normalize this huge and important muscle.

All Entry Fees at All Shows must be paid in cash – No checks accepted. Speed Horse Tours Understanding the Speed Horse Tours at EZ Run PBRA shows. When the Speed Horse Tour is co-sanctioned w/a Bonu$ Buck$ show, this is how it works! You must be entered in the Open 4D to compete in the Speed Horse Tour. This tour will carry a seperate entry fee and have a seperate payoff and carries seperate points for a seperate championship as well. Your run in the Open 4D will count as your run in the Speed Horse Tour. Rather than pay an Office Charge with your Speed Horse Tour entry fee, you will pay a Finals Fee instead. This tour has a 100% payback of all entry fees including the NT runs. The Finals Fee is not included in the payback. Full dress code is waived unless otherwise posted. You are allowed only one entry per show in the Speed Horse Tours. So, in short, at these shows, you can pay two entry fees (if desired), run once and possibly be in two payoffs and accumulate points in both the Open and Speed Horse Tour standings. If running more than one horse in the Open 4D, you will have to designate to the show secretary the horse entered in the Speed Horse Tour. If the Speed Horse Tour is presented by a Stock Contractor at a Bull Riding or Rodeo, entry fees and Finals Fee are the same. Payback is the same plus added money if offered. Full Dress code is enforced, only one entry per show, points are carried in the Speed Horse Tour only. Be sure to read your guidelines and be aware of all the rules and offerings of this Tour and all of our shows and point systems. Visit our profile and community at:
