Marvin bullriding at the 1980 Calgary Stampede |
Growing up on the family farm a few miles
from Trossachs Marvin has been involved with livestock his entire
life whether it was working at home or riding in the local community pastures.
When he wasn't busy looking after things on the home ranch Marvin
had a very successful career as a bull rider competing at rodeos all across
western Canada. Marvin's main focus now is his livestock operation.
Along with the broodmare band of 70 to 80 mares Marvin runs about 170 black
angus cow calf pairs. |
| Tressa also grew up with horses, traveling
all across North America racing and training Standard bred race horses.
She has been a leader for the Brokenshell 4-H Light Horse for many,
many years. She also is very active with the Saskatchewan Barrel
Racing Association and barrel races at jackpots year round. |

on to become grand champion Market Steer at the Calgary Stampede 1989.

| As a little girl Robyn was always on
top of one horse or another doing everything from jumping to barrel
racing at all of the horse shows and fairs. Once she got to high
school High School Rodeo became her main focus. She competed in every
girl's event with barrel racing and goat tying her specialties. In
1996 she won the Sask. High School Rodeo High Point Girls Championship
winning the Girl's Cutting for Saskatchewan and ending up in the
top four at the Canadian Finals. Robyn then went on to College rodeo
competing on the Dickinson State University Rodeo Team. After graduation
Robyn married Dustin Dunlop and together they are a valuable part of the
Moore Family Ranch. Robyn and Dustin and new baby son Zach
operate a family farm and ranching operation in Rolla, North Dakota.
Robyn still finds time to compete in the SBRA, the NBHA, sanctioned
rodeos and horse shows all across Manitoba, Saskatchewan and North Dakota. |
