Welcome to Lightning P Ranch, Home of the Pharr family:
Mike and Cathy;
Doug
Tim and Shae.
Lightning P's arena is a covered multi-event arena. It is
125'x300'. We have 40 stalls that are
ready to rent.
We have 17 RV hookups.
We have a variety of events which include Georgia Junior
Rodeo, South East Calf Roping and Barrel Racing Assn.;
Summer and Winter Series, and a regular
Friday night Team Penning Practice. Mike gives roping
lessons to the young and old and Cathy gives barrel racing
lessons.
Lightning P Ranch encompasses 118 acres on the north edge of
Gordon County. We are about 5 miles from I-75 at Exit
320.
Mike and Cathy were a rodeo family of 2 until Doug and Tim
came along. Mike was and still is a calf roper.
Cathy was and still is a barrel racer. When the boys
were young, the family's activities included the
International Professional Rodeo Association. Cathy made
the IPRA finals in 1987 and was the first woman from Georgia to
ever accomplish this. While at the finals Cathy won the
coveted average buckle. Mike made the IPRA finals in
1988 and 1989 received the "Calf
Roping Horse of the Year" award on his horse Thunder. During the IPRA
days, Doug and Tim were 10 and 8 years old. They
wanted a freeze brand for the family's horses and came up
with a "Lightning Bolt" depicting "fast as lightning horses".
In 1997, when the arena opened for business, the "P" was
added for Pharr.
Doug and Tim have been on the Professional Rodeo Cowboy
Assn. circuit since
1997. Doug made the National Finals Rodeo in 2000,
2005, 2006 and 2008. Tim
made the Dodge National Circuit Finals in 2001.
Currently you can keep up with them by the web site prorodeo.com.
Our Lightning P Family is growing by leaps and bounds. We
are delighted to have a new daughter-in-law in the
family. Tim married Shae Frazier of Redmond, OR in
September of 2007. They are expecting their first child July
31, 2010.
Our Goal
is to enhance, educate, and provide quality tie-down and
breakaway ropings and barrel races.
Teaching and Training with Integrity.
