In this exclusive interview, Clayton Hass shares the story of his first appearance at the Cinch Timed Event Championship and what it takes to compete in rodeo’s ultimate all-around test at the Lazy E Arena. From receiving a last-minute call to enter the Timed Event while living in Stephenville, Texas, to scrambling to prepare horses for tie-down roping, steer wrestling, team roping (heading and heeling), and tripping, Hass gives a raw and honest look at stepping into the Ironman for the first time.
Clayton explains how he quickly got horses ready, learned new techniques, and proved he belonged among the top all-around cowboys in the sport. Over the years, he’s placed in multiple rounds, finished strong in the average, and built a consistent presence at the Timed Event Championship—highlighting both breakthrough performances and the lessons learned from close calls.
Beyond the arena, Hass dives into the mental preparation and physical demands of the 25-run marathon format. He discusses managing horsepower, staying focused through constant event transitions, and why the Timed Event isn’t about making up time—it’s about doing your job in each discipline. With early mornings, late nights, and nonstop horse care, Clayton breaks down what truly makes the Cinch Timed Event Championship one of the toughest events in rodeo.
