Roger William was the overall winner at this past weekend's Nemiah Valley Rodeo mountain horse race.
The great Nemiah Mountain Race, 36th Annual Nemiah Valley Rodeo.

Thundering down the mountain to the Nemiah Valley Rodeo corral are Roger William, Conway Lulua, Patrick McLeod, and Doug Alexis this past Sunday, Aug. 4 during the mountain horse race at the 36th Annual Nemiah Valley Rodeo.

William won the Sunday race and was the overall winner, receiving $1,968.75 as his prize; Doug Alexis won the Saturday race.  All four Sunday racers reached the corral, but on Saturday, three of the five riders tumbled at the water obstacles, their panicked horses continuing the race, riderless.
