Little Harold Sheppard participated in the 3rd annual Lake Charles Black Rodeo on September 8, 2012. The Real Cowboy Association hosted Rodeo since April of this year in Mt. Pleasant Texas. Little Harold has participated in all ten leading to the Lake Charles event. The top eight winners will qualify for the RCA National Black Rodeo to be held November 17th, 2012 at the CenturyLink Center in Bossier City, Louisiana. Harold roped his calf in 9.17 seconds in the Longgo. He came back number one in the Shortgo with an average 9.2 seconds. He was left with a current standing of number 3 which qualifies him for the national finals in November and a chance to win another saddle.

He has won many titles, money and saddles following in the footsteps of his father Harold Sheppard who rodeoed more than thirty years and is now a member of the Old Timers Association. He continues to train rodeo horses. Harold is the son of Harold and Helen Shepphard. The Sheppards would like to thank sponsors Elder Randall Dodge of Henderson, Lone Star Feed and Shep’s Barbeque.
