Harry Hodges

I've spent my entire life working with cattle and horses. Dairy farmed for 15 years and had one of Canada's best productivity herds, raised beef cattle for nearly 19 years and was the owner of a horse boarding and training facility. I operated practices out of there, trained rope horses and taught rodeo. I have approximately 28 years of rodeo experience, participating in tie-down and team roping. Gained entry to the 2011 Canadian semi-pro finals in Regina, Saskatchewan after winning approximately 10 Ontario titles in tie-down. I managed a cattle and horse farm in Northern Ontario for the Stronach Family and taught roping, tie-down, breakaway, and team roping for many years. I find it very rewarding when riders and ropers achieve success.
