Mel Potter's interest in Driftwood horses started back in the late 1950s. He had the opportunity to rope on several of these horses and learned to appreciate what great rodeo athletes they were first hand. Some of these included Poker Chip Peake, Driftwood Ike, and Speedywood. A mare Mel roped on was bred to Speedywood, a son of Driftwood. He got a colt he named “Charlie” and started roping on him when he was barely 3. Unbelievable as it is, after breaking away a few calves, roping 2 large steers to get him stopping hard and roping and tying down 7 calves, Charlie was entered in the Tucson QH Show (which was the 5th largest QH show in the US) and he won the Jr. Calf Roping.
