Welcome to Lightning P Ranch, Home of the Pharr family:
Mike, Cathy, Doug and Tim

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 Assn., Spring and Fall Series Barrel Racing, Breakaway Roping and Tie Down Roping, Spring and Fall Series Team Penning Jackpot, 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 and 2006, Tim made the Dodge National Circuit Finals in 2001.  Currently you can keep up with them by the web site prorodeo.com.  Check the Jack Daniels World Standings.
Our Lightning P Family is growing by leaps and bounds. We are delighted to have two new daughters-in-laws in the family. Doug married Brittany Pozzi of Victoria, TX in December of 2006. Tim married Shae Frazier of Redmond, OR in September of 2007.

 Our Goal is to enhance, educate, and provide quality tie-down and breakaway ropings and barrel races.

Teaching and Training with Integrity.
