This is one of my all time favorite photos of H. P. and Leo. These two living legends spent many years roping together and definitely left their mark on the world of Team Roping, as we know it today. Leo being the more serious of the team, had to be a nervous wreck most of the time, never knowing what to expect from his wild , wreck less and carefree header. Every trip down the road was a new and rather " EDUCATIONAL", experience, to say the least. I know this to be true as I too shared 20 years of my life, and four beautiful children, with HP. 20 years and a million steers roped later, I can honestly say that there was NEVER a dull moment where HP was concerned. Dear Lord, the stories I could tell! Lol Thanks for sharing this photo. Always, T. Evetts

I was just a kid and started roping in the Oakdale area when HO and Leo were roping together. Was a big fan
