In Memory - Mr. Russ Sheldon
Mr. Sheldon, a long-time resident of the Poway (California) community, was a founding member of the Poway Valley Riders Association, as well as, the Poway Rodeo. He was also active in promoting the sport of arena polo.
In a statement to the Pomerado News, Poway Mayor Steve Vaus said, "...The passion and dedication he [Russ Sheldon] had, he carried it everywhere." "Russ Sheldon almost single-handedly kept the 'country' in the 'City in the County'. Considering all he's done over the decades for rodeo and for arena polo, Russ leaves some very big boots to fill." (Full story may be found at link or see below).
To his daughter, our friend Sherry Sheldon-Gibson, we are so sorry for your loss. Please know your rodeo family will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.
Mr. Russ Sheldon
