Haven Meged claims first career Ponoka Stampede crown.

Where there's Smoke, there's fire – at least in Haven Meged's world these days. The Montana-raised cowboy leaned on his bay horse's talents to help claim his first Ponoka Stampede championship.

Smoke is an eight-year-old Meged got about three years ago and has been seasoning since.

"He's been a lot of work, but this is his third season out here, and I feel like he's getting better and better. By the time he's ten, he'll be perfect," smiles Meged.

Ponoka is an extra test, with the famous long score alley setup, which Meged actually likes, and so too, does Smoke.

"I won the second round at Prineville, Ore., on him the other day, a shorter alley than this, but he's just amazing," Meged said.

In Ponoka, Meged put together three solid runs, to finish first in the aggregate and make him last man out in the Showdown, where he posted the fastest time of the rodeo at 7.8 seconds, to win the overall title.

"(Monday) in the four man, I definitely didn't think I had the best calf. She ran the rope, and she tries to get up the whole time after you get up off her. She rolled over, but it worked out. My horse made the difference," Meged said.
"Even if I rode my horse, I rode here last year, I probably wouldn't have got by some of these calves, as fast as they ran. I feel like he's one of the best horses out there right now. He can run, and he's square. He's always on your team...
