grow and changed into a horse that would later be stout enough to carry a 'big cowboy' to a steer." His ankle started bothering him, so Immenschuh turned him out for a bit, then traded him to a cowboy named Bob Barnes, who later sold him to C.R. Jones. Immenschuh recalled, "I picked up the Sports News the other day to read that Peanuts had won another world championship. I thought now 16 years old, Make It Do — alias Peanuts — made it do one more time." Rodeo career Peanuts competed in the Rodeo Cowboys Association and the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) when they changed their name in 1975. Immenschuh only had Peanuts when he was racing, but Immenschuh had a rodeo background too. He claims when Peanuts was racing he was small but he was "a smart horse, one of a kind". When he started bulldogging, he took to the sport right away. His owner C.R. Jones would put a lot of bulldoggers on him in one rodeo. Immenschuh recalled how he was over at Sunland Park in El Paso, Texas, and attended the rodeo slack. Jones had 12 bulldoggers ride Peanuts and Peanuts made the same run for each of them. According to Immenschuh's good friend and associate, hall of fame trainer Bubba Cascio, "Immenschuh got [Peanuts] broke and started the right way, so the horse had a good mind, had a good disposition, wanted to do right for whoever was riding him. Nothin’ ever bothered Peanuts and that's why he became such a great bulldoggin’ horse." Peanuts took many notable cowboys to winning world titles in the PRCA. Tom Ferguson, of Miami, Oklahoma, won six consecutive World All-Around Championships and three World Steer Wrestling Championships. Frank Shepperson and Bob Marshall both won World Steer Wrestling Championships. Ten other cowboys rode Peanuts at the National Finals Rodeo (NFR). Peanuts won the PRCA steer wrestling title four consecutive years from 1976 to 1979. At the Calgary Stampede he won the average for five consecutive years. Peanuts qualified for the NFR from 1973 to 1980. For each of those years, a minimum of five top 15 cowboys rode him according to the horses's obituary. For his total participation at the NFR, they estimated that in 450 runs, the cowboys wrestled 225 consecutive steers from Peanuts' back without missing one. Retirement and death Jones retired Peanut in 1981 in
