Come Join the fun with Doug Mathis PRCA Rodeo Announcer back again for 2008
“Every day is a good day because we get to rodeo” is the mantra of Professional Rodeo Announcer Doug Mathis of Cleburne, Texas. Mathis, a member of the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association since 1995, is ranked as one of the top announcers in the country. In a career filled with highlights, announcing the 2005 Dodge National Circuit
Finals Rodeo in Pocatello, Idaho, put another feather in his cap, as well as placing 7th out of all PRCA Announcers for “Announcer of the Year” voting in 2005.Doug Mathis is not just another pretty face, although he has appeared in several fashion print campaigns, but his overall presentation and attitude have won him the admiration of all whom he works with. His outstanding ability to make what goes on in the arena look better than what it is and his smooth intelligent delivery satisfies the seasoned fan
as well as the newcomers.Doug is a highly sought after announcer, but his voice and face have taken him further outside of the arena than what he expected. Besides the numerous national fashion print campaigns, Mathis can also be seen acting in television commercials from Reliant Energy to the television pilot of “Knockoffs”, to CBS’s New Year’s Eve at Billy Bob’s
Texas, to Tylenol and Esquire Watches, and he also appeared in George Strait’s “Pure Country”."Bob Tallman, 2004 PRCA Announcer of the Year and the voice of the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo, gives this recommendation for Doug Mathis’ professional expertise, “You don’t have to teach him, just trust him for 100 folks or 100,000 fans”.
Mathis has been behind the mike since he sustained a career ending injury as a bull rider. He has announced in over 23 states and averages 50,000 miles a year on the road. He jokes that he gets his mail in Cleburne, but that he really lives on the road. My friends are on the road and part of the fun of working in this industry is reconnecting every year. When he’s not announcing rodeos, Mathis can be found on his family ranch overseeing 65 head of mother cows and calves. Come rodeo with Mathis and his friends. You’ll be glad you did

FOUR STAR RODEO COMPANY
For nearly two decades Four Star Rodeo Company has been producing rodeos throughout California, Oregon and Nevada. Four Star Rodeo Company provides the livestock for over fifty rodeos per year. Including the California Cowboys Pro Rodeo Association Finals, Senior Pro National Finals, Indian National Finals, California High School Rodeo State Finals, Silver State Invitational Rodeo and the All Indian World Finals.
The company’s trademarks include dramatic openings, top notch contract personnel, and of course award winning livestock (animal athletes).
Being athletic is usually found in your genes, the same is true in the animal world. Horsemen know that if you want a running horse, you look for running horse bloodlines, usually thoroughbred going back to great sires such as Three Bars, Easy Jet or Bold Ruler. Should you want a cow horse you need quarter horse bloodlines perhaps going back to the great Doc Bar, King Fritz or Poco Lena.
Well, if you want them to buck. That’s right, you want them to buck. Then you need a bucking horse in their bloodlines.
Four Star Rodeo Company has been raising bucking horses for the past several years. “Super Star” one of the Company’s great bucking horses has been the sire or grand sire to many of the horses in the herd.
“Morning Star” is a daughter of Super Star, she is a nine year old mare that is used in the saddle bronc riding event. With a foal by her side and two older colts home in the pasture we arc excited to see how her offspring will perform. Watch for “Morning Glory” when she makes her debut on the arena stage in the spring of 2005.
“Star Struck” is another daughter of Super Star. She is a great little mare that bucks hard every time. The cowboys love to draw her, they know that if they ride her they can win. Star Struck has won the distinguished honors of California Cowboys Professional Rodeo Association ‘Bareback Horse of the Year” in 2000, 2001 and 2003.
About ten years ago Four Star Rodeo Company had the good fortune of acquiring a keen little mare named “Beaver Gaskins” she really enjoys her job (bucking off cowboys). she works less than 16 seconds per week. Whether throwing off cowboys or taking them to the pay window she continues to do it with the style that earned her the award of “1999 and 2002 “CCPRA Bareback Horse of the Year”.
To be a really good horse, whether it be race horse, cow horse or bucking horse, they have to like what they do. That’s what makes them great, you can’t make a horse buck if he or she doesn’t want to.
NO BULL ABOUT IT... Four Star Rodeo Company has tough bulls.
“Frenchy”, the CCPRA’s Bucking Bull of the Year for 2000. Born to buck, Frenchy proved worthy of his ancestry as he went unridden for the year 2000. A descendant of the great “Wolf Man”, Frenchy has been ridden only two times in the past four years.
And then there is b Jo” the pet at the Four Star Ranch. Don’t mistake his gentle demeanor when it comes to his bucking ability. As docile as he may be around the ranch, he can really turn it on when the chute gate opens.
Such stock is the challenge which draws the top cowboys and cowgirls to compete in a Four Star rodeo.
Be ready for exciting, rockin’ and rollin’ rodeo when Four Star Rodeo Company comes to town.
One of the best shows in the business
