KAREN VOLD
Karen Womack Vold has dedicated her
entire life to the trick riding and rodeo
industries. From her humble beginnings
in Phoenix, Arizona she trick rode in her
first professional rodeo at age fourteen.
Thus began a marvelous journey of life
as a professional trick rider and
achieving another childhood dream of
becoming a “Cowboy’s Sweetheart”
when she and Harry Vold married in
1972.
Her 1978 induction into the National Cowgirl Hall of Fame
and Museum, along with her receipt of the honorable Tad
Lucas Memorial Award in 1992, more than exemplifies her
dedication to preserving our Western Heritage.
During the spring each year Karen hosts “Trick Riding”
schools for young men and women anxious to learn more
about the profession.
Karen and Harry still spend most of their time on the road
annually, but when they are not producing quality rodeos
across the country, you can find them at home on their ranch
in Avondale, Colorado.
KIRSTEN VOLD
The youngest of six children, Kirsten took over as General Manager of the Harry
Vold Rodeo Company when she was just 25 years-old.
"I was going to be a lawyer and drive a sports car and live in L.A.," she said in a
2009 interview. "Everybody assumes that I was groomed for this from the time I
was a child, as if this is the only thing I've ever wanted to do, and quite honestly,
that's really not the case.”
After graduating from University of Southern Colorado in 1996 with a BA in
Communications, Kirsten felt that her professional destiny was as yet unfulfilled
and decided to move back to her father's ranch.
It was not easy being the only woman – and a very young woman, at that – in a
man's world, but with her staunch determination and unparalleled work ethic,
Kirsten eventually won over even her toughest critics and took her father's place at
the helm.
Kirsten now spends more than 200 days each year on
the rodeo trail . A genuine love of animals is the driving
force behind the young woman that now manages
30,000 acres of short-grass prairie, raising some 350
bucking horses. According to Kirsten, her greatest
personal achievement is Painted Valley, an 11 year-old
stud who has been selected to six National Finals
Rodeos, was voted best Saddle Bronc Horse of the
WNFR in 2009 and in 2010 Painted Valley was named
PRCA Saddle Bronc Horse of the Year.
"If you ask me, the number one reason why I do what I
do, it's because of the animals," she beams. "I love
working with animals."
THE TRADITION:
“Providing fun, wholesome family
entertainment and fair competition for the
cowboys has always been our goal…”
Harry Vold
THE COMMISSION:
“The Livestock is the most important part of
what we do… Healthy, athletic horses and
bulls have kept us in business for many,
many years…”

PAINTED VALLEY
AGE: 11
COLOR: Bay Paint

PAINTED VALLEY is a ranch raised stud 6x NFR– son of Harry Vold's 6x NFR mare 050 Big

had a breakout year; from carrying World Champion Billy Etbauer to 89 points in Cheyenne, to
earning Best Bronc San Antonio, Best Bronc Mountain States Circuit, 3rd Runner up PRCA
Saddle Bronc Horse of the Year and 2009 Best Bronc of NFR. In 2010, Painted Valley and Cody
DeMoss paired up to set the arena record in Cheyenne at 91 points in the short round.
Additionally, Painted Valley racked up the Best Bronc in San Antonio on the way to his 4th
selection to the NFR. Most notably, in 2010 Painted Valley was awarded the most coveted honor
in rodeo, winning the 2010 PRCA Saddle Bronc Horse of the Year.
Painted Valley was the first World Champion Bucking Horse Stud to be collected and his semen
can be shipped worldwide. He also has a Twitter feed @PaintedValley & a Facebook fan page.

Bobby Joe Skoal… Three time World

industry!

THE BAREBACKS
“Dusty Dan was probably one of the better
Barebacks we ever raised… She went to the NFR
every year – and every time she bucked in Vegas,
they won a check on her…” (Dusty Dan is pictured right with Casey
Coletti at the 2011 NFR – her last trip before retiring)
