Brookman
Rodeo was started by the late Marvin Brookman in the
early 50’s. He put a herd of horses together while
working with his father on the CBC’s. He had 2
daughters, Reita and Cleita. His daughter Reita
married Jim Reinhart and together they worked on the
ranch and helped out with the rodeo business. Reita
timed rodeos and was active in the business until
the time of her death in May of 2007. Jim continues
to reside at the ranch and helps behind the scenes for Brookman Rodeo. Reita’s daughter, Cathy and
husband, Dave Wieferich took over the reins managing
the rodeo company when Marvin suffered from a
stroke in July 2002. In July 2005, Marvin Brookman
was inducted into the Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame in
Colorado Springs, CO. He passed away in January
2006.
Marvin raised 99% of his bucking horses from the
sires Alimony, Bar Fly, Iron Sides, Double
Deck, Medicine Man, and Rough Water. He raised
approximately 30- 40
colts per year and his breeding program continues
on, producing great buckers. Dave & Cathy will
continue on with the quality of blood lines, as well
as the sound, production, and all other areas
of rodeo to make it great family entertainment.
Dave & Cathy have 3 children, LaTasha, Tesa, and Tate. They are active
in helping run cattle from the arena, sorting timed
event cattle, helping drive for the feed crew, and
keeping mom and dad busy. |
