The more you know about bucking horses the more there is to love. “We’re always open to people naming our horses,” said Binion Cervi. “Announcer Andy Seiler named a set for us. He called this fancy bay colt Two Cookies because his baby son, when asked if he wanted a cookie would always reply ‘two cookies’.” His ancestry is a perfect blend of top stock from several stellar breeding programs from all over bronc riding nation. His dam is by the fearsome eliminator, Bar Fly of Brookman Rodeo Company. She didn’t much care to buck but out produced herself every time she foaled. Two Cookies’ sire is Fireworks, out of the great Canadian bred mare Fire N Lace and sired by Pet Me, the son of blue hen mare Connie’s Pet who was sired by Bar T Rodeo’s great Roany. 34 www.rodeofame.com By Lori O’Harver
