fellow 10th grader at RCHS, only rides reluctantly, Boucher says. He goes to the rodeos to give her support. He had never been on a horse before he met Boucher. “I talked him into getting on a horse,” she says. “I told him, ‘If you are going to date me, you’re going to get on.’And they have been together for one year and one month, the equivalent in teen time to a Silver Wedding Anniversary.
Remarkably, Boucher has only seen one Western rodeo in person. “I went to one out in New Mexico,” she says. “It seemed more natural out there. Here when you wear the Western attire, the hat and boots, some people ask you what you are wearing.”
VHSRA is affiliated with the National High School Rodeo Association, which has a mem* bership of over 10,000 high school contestants in 39 states, four Canadian provinces and Australia.
“High school rodeos are the most exciting rodeos you can watch,” opined VHSRA’s secretary, Chris Moore, who has been involved with the association since its inception in 1995. “Spectators are always astonished to see how good these kids are.”
