Terry Martin, Jr. and Mac Baldridge were roping partners for 6 years and put many miles and winnings under their buckles.

 

Betcha' didn't know they were famous! Terry Jr. and Mark Martin ages 7 and 5 years. Ma Martin was the producer for the Channel 18 show "Ma Martin Roundup" which aired on Sunday evenings in CT. These 2 also held many performance off air, including Lake Compounce. Ma claims they have given out over 50,000 photos of themselves and the ponies they ride on TV!

Is that our "Rosie" on a horse - you bet! Who could ever forget a wonderful character like Stretch? For those of us who knew him, he is truly missed!

Who are these guys? Joey Grassi and Terry Martin, Jr. practicing this "new" team roping thing! May, 1974.
