BULLFIGHTERS AND BARRELMEN

2019 Wrangler NFR Personnel DustyTuckness –Bullfighter They say the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo gets in your blood. After 11 consecutive years (2009-2019) in the Thomas & Mack Center, Dusty Tuckness is thoroughly infected with Wrangler NFR fever.

“One of my goals since I was a kid has always been to go to the Finals, and another is to beat the records of other bullfighters who have gone there. To go once is an achievement, but to go 12 times like Darrell Diefenbach or 14 times like Joe Baumgartner (13 consecutive, 14 overall), that’s the ultimate goal. I want to push forward and get myself into their category.” But Tuckness is driven by more than competitive fire. “I try to be as consistent as I can, domy job day-in and day-out, and hope that

will lead to a good outcome at the end of the year. Every year I get to go back, it means I’ve been consistent and the bull riders trust me and want to see me in the arena, so to keep going back is a real honor.” Tuckness always knows going in that he’ll get a little beaten up at theWrangler NFR, but it’s all part of the sport as far as he’s concerned. “Rodeo is a game where there’s not a set pattern,” Tuckness said. “When guys are riding for world championships, they tend to hang on a little longer, and that can put them in a more hazardous spot when they hit the ground. And some of the new bulls have some hook to them. But I always go in thinking that every bull is the meanest one around, because I want to be on guard and always ready to take the shot for the cowboy if needed.”

Evan Allard – Bullfighter Although bullfighter Evan Allard didn’t grow up in a family that rodeoed, every time he attended a local rodeo as a kid, he was captivated by the barrelmen and bullfighters in the arena. From their distinct baggies, colorful face paint and barrel to give the bull an alternate target after the bull ride, Allard viewed them as more than just personnel in the arena. “I love fighting bulls and I think what we do as bullfighters and cowboy protectors is a very important job, but so is entertaining,” he said. “If we can’t entertain while we’re protecting cowboys, then people won’t come to the rodeo. People come to be entertained. I think being an entertainer, as well as a cowboy lifesaver is what drew me in as a kid.”

When Allard was a teenager, he attended a bullfighting school and from there began his career path toward professional bullfighting.TheVinita, Okla., native went on towin freestyle bullfighting competitions and in 2014-15 won two world championships in freestyle bullfighting. He joined the PRCA in 2005 and since then annually works at top rodeos including Fort Worth, Austin, Waco and Red Bluff (Calif.). “I’m a better bullfighter today than I was two years ago, and a way better bullfighter today than I was 15 years ago,” he said. “It’s just like anything else, if you don’t get better, you’re going to get beat. I just want to continue to be a great bullfighter.” For the first time in 2019, Allard was selected to work as a bullfighter on ProRodeo’s biggest stage – at the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas. “It was a great surprise,”said Allard, 31.“It was a roller coaster week waiting to find out if I was selected, but it was worth it. Anyone who rodeos wants to go to the NFR, it’s been a goal my entire life. I feel lucky I was able to go even once and I’m glad I was able to go as soon as I did.” Although he’d fought the same bulls at other rodeos, Allard said he had to mentally prepare to do the job at the Thomas & Mack Center. “I didn’t want a mistake to ruin my whole week out there, so mentally I had to be ready to take on the challenge,”he said.“(At theWrangler NFR) they buck 15 bulls so fast, no other rodeo keeps it moving that fast. If you get caught looking around, they’re bucking bulls before you’re ready.” The other season bullfighters Allard worked with at the Finals, Dusty Tuckness and Cody Webster, are great friends of his who he’s been fighting bulls with since 2007. “It was awesome to get to go to the NFR no matter what, but to get to do it with guys in that caliber and who are close friends made it even better,” he said.

BULLFIGHTERS, CLOWNS AND BARRELMEN

2019 Wrangler NFR Personnel

Cody Webster – Bullfighter Cody Webster joined the PRCA in February 2011 and less than two years later was selected by PRCA bull riders to work the Finals, which was “a huge honor,” Webster said. In 2019, he returned for his seventh consecutive appearance. “I used to watch the NFR in diapers, with my folks,”Webster said. “I’ve been dreaming about working it all my life, so it really was a dream come true. It was everything I thought it would feel like, but walking down that alley…you’ve got to times it by 100 to get close to what it really feels like. It’s very heart-touching.” Webster thinks that in 2013, at age 21, he was the youngest bullfighter ever to work the NFR.

“It was cool to go in there and show everybody what the young guys can do,” he said. “It was overwhelming with the first few bulls, but after that I just did what I’ve been doing all year – fighting bulls mentally correctly. With 18,000 people watching you, you don’t want to mess up.” Of course, that’s not the only unusual aspect of working that particular rodeo. Webster liked the arena size, as well. “Those aren’t the tightest quarters I’ve worked – I’ve worked some arenas that aren’t much bigger than a living room,” he said. “The (Thomas & Mack Center arena) is the perfect size, to me. It’s small enough that the situation won’t run away fromyou, which is good because those bulls are on their game.”

John Harrison – Barrelman John Harrison worked the barrel in the Thomas & Mack Center last year for the fifth time, meaning he’d earned his fifth Wrangler NFR buckle. But the one he wears most often doesn’t even have his own name on it – it was given to the bull riding average winner at the 1967 NFR. “This will be the (52nd) year since my grandad rode Tornado,”says Harrison, recalling the storied night that Freckles Brown became the first man to last eight seconds on the fearsome bull. Back then, the NFR was held in Oklahoma City, and Harrison revisited the scene. “Those old chutes are still under the bleachers at the Jim Norick Arena – they’re under the bleachers, concreted in,”Harrison said. “We crawled in to see

them. It’s dark and dingy under there, but we used our cell phones for lights. It was neat to see where that happened. He got his gold buckles (Brown was also the 1962 world champion bull rider), and for me, that was winning ‘Coors Man in the Can’ for top barrelman in 2014 and 2016-17. Harrison said he thinks about his grandfather beforehand, behind the scenes, when he works the barrel at the Wrangler NFR. But once the rodeo starts, it’s all business – and at the Wrangler NFR, that means staying in the barrel to focus on safety, anticipating the exact second to start creeping toward the bull and rider. “Those guys are riding for somuchmoney there, more than $25,000 a night, which couldmake a down payment on a ranch,”notes Harrison.“At any other rodeo, after every bull I’mout of the barrel, interacting with the crowd. But there, it’s about timing and safety and staying out of the way of the TV cameras.” His past experiences as aWrangler NFR barrelman have helped calmhis nerves at the Finals, Harrison said. “Knowing what to expect lifts the pressure off your shoulders, so it’s more fun,” he said. “I know where I can be and what I can do.”

2020 PRCA MEDIA GUIDE

PRCA Bullfighters, Clowns and Barrelmen Bullfighters are rodeo athletes whose job is to protect bull riders after they dismount or arebuckedoff thebulls. Bullfightersmove toward thebull immediately to distract it with sound, movement and sometimes touch, in order to direct its attention away from the cowboy and toward the exit gate. Bullfighters often throw their bodies between the bull and rider, and may take a hooking (a “punch” from the bull’s horns) so the bull rider doesn’t have to. Clowns are not responsible for cowboy protection; they are entertainers who keep the audience engaged during breaks in the rodeo. Many visit with audiences before the rodeo, and some perform public relations functions in local communities before and during the rodeo. Barrelmenwork in both areas – they entertain the audience, often by interacting comically with the rodeo announcers, and they help with bull rider protection. The barrelman places his barrel where it may give the bull an alternate target after the bull ride. He may jump in and out of it as needed, or position it so the cowboy or bullfighters can use it as cover. All three categories of personnel are considered integral to rodeo and are part of every PRCA-sanctioned rodeo. This list includes information on insured PRCA-member bullfighters, clowns and barrelmen as of March 23, 2020.
