Board Chairman, C.J. Kinsolving and Silver Concho, Brice Chapman and daughter
Lea County Cowboy Hall of Fame Silver Concho - Brice Chapman

"Even though Brice Chapman is not from Lea County, his roots are firmly planted here," noted Beauchamp.  "Brice is the only person we know who has participated in every year of the Staked Plains Roundup. He has performed in front of tens of thousands of Lea County children."  The Staked Plains Roundup is an annual event at the museum that features the western way of life, Beauchamp added.
 
It was at an early age of five that Brice Chapman began to develop a unique talent with a rope.Rarely seen without one, Chapman soon learned to do rope tricks with both hands and by the time he was 7 he was performing at the National Ranching Heritage Center at Texas Tech University. From there, he quickly built a career out of a childhood hobby. Today Chapman travels the country performing his specialty act, which also includes his faithful border collie, Jackpot, and his two trusty steeds, Crossfire and Peanut. Chapman brings a unique quality to his trick-roping act with the addition of his animals, who offer their own amazing talents.
 
Chapman's uniqueness and level of talent has him being sought after to perform at some of the PRCA's finest rodeos. He has made appearances at premier events such as the Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo, the Working Ranch Cowboy's Association Finals and the National Finals Steer Roping.
 
Chapman has been featured on the Texas Country Reporter and RFDTV's America By Horseback, and has had the honor to perform for the families of the 9-11 victims. In 2006 Chapman was asked to perform for the President of the United States, George W. Bush, at the Congressional Picnic.
