Introducing Miss Rio Vista High School Rodeo
Marvel Murphy

Dear Rio Vista,

I have been very busy the past three months. My freshman year of college in Vernon, Texas ended in May. Shortly there after I ran barrels at a pro rodeo in Guymon, Oklahoma. I then showed my cutting horse Oskar in a weekend cutting in Weatherford, Texas. From there I went back home to Nevada, I ran barrels in the Reno Rodeo, in which Rio Vista sponsored me. I then cam back to Texas, and rode and showed cutting horses in the Summer Spectacular in Ft. Worth, Texas and in the Steamboat Springs Cutting Classic in Steamboat Springs, Colorado for three weeks. Lonny Allsup let me show two of his horses, Tivios Hickory Gal and Clay's Little Kit. I also helped Ascencion Banuelos. After the Colorado show I returned to Lubbock, Texas.
I am going to rodeo on the Texas Tech Rodeo Team this year. College starts August 28th, my first college rodeo will be at Texas Tech. I plan to enter some barrel racing jackpots, and roping to prepare for the college rodeo season. I am a Pre-Law major with a minor in Spanish. I am really excited about my sophomore year, and about representing Rio Vista throughout the Southwest Region, in Intercollegiate Rodeo. I would like to sincerely thank Rio Vista Products for their support and for the use of their outstanding products!

Sincerely,

Miss Rio Vista

Dear Rio Vista Products,,

This past semester I have been enrolled in eighteen hours, while college rodeoing in the SouthWest Region, showing cutting horses, and running barrels in the WPRA. I plan to get my bachelors degree in Communications with a minor in Spanish, and then to apply to Law School in Lubbock, Texas. Thanks again for your support, I greatly appreciate it.

Sincerely,
Marvel Murphy
