Steer wrestling school held One of the 15 people attending the steer wres- tling- school at K-7 Stables on weekend prac- tices on. the dummy steer. Instructor for the school was Ed Dewetering of the Exeter area. (Jim Brown photo) • By Jim Brown WINGHAM - Ed Dewetering of the Exeter area has been steer wrestling for less than five years. . Now .he is instructing people who have never steer wrestled.belorc about the techniques of the sport. Fifteen people between the ages of 15 and 31 were at the K-7 Stables on the weekend to learn how. to steer wrestle. Each day started with an instructional video on steer wrestling. After learning how to lean over while riding the horse to grab the steer, the students learned to jump onto a dummy steer. • ' Dewetering has competed on the Ontario rodeo cir- cuit for a number of years, and has' taught on' a smaller scale. He said he got involved in steer wres- tling after seeing.thc sport at,a rodeo in Grand Bend. "I told myself, that if they can do it, 1 could do it." said Dewetering. , Now, as :well as,competing in rodeos in Ontario and Quebec, he also competes in three rodeos in the United States. He said one of the prohlems'many new corners to rodeos have is getting to ride horses. He said a lot of the rodeo people don't want to let someone they don't even know ride their horse in an event.', Dewetering said he usually has three horses that other competitors can use, Although he has been competing Ior several years, this was the first class he had even given. He noted that has has instructed three to four dt a time on occa- sions. but never a class this size'. He said, the response to the steer wrestling school v. as pretty good. People attending, the school came from Sarnia, Newmarket, Strathroy, Stratford,. Orangeville and places in between. The Ontario rodeo circuit -will 'have 24 rodeos this year. The annual Exeter rodeo will he held in' August with a rodeo also scheduled in August for Lucknow. - The earnings arc pretty good for the competitors. First prize in most events is $600'to $700,with first prize in team roping being. $1.500. A number of events arc held during the winter months at K-7 Stables.
