H

e’s back Stetson Wright missed action for nearly 13

months, but left no doubt that he’s back during the Na tional Western Stock Show and Rodeo, Jan. 16-26, in Denver. The eight-time PRCA World Champion competed in saddle bronc and bull rid ing, reaching the semifinals in bronc riding and placing second in the bull riding final. In his first PRORODEO action since the 2023 Na tional Finals Rodeo, Wright paired with The Cervi Broth ers’ Heyoka for an 89-point ride on Jan. 17 at the Denver Coliseum. “There aren’t many cowboys and cowgirls who can take 14 months off and be complete ly fine with it. I wasn’t wor ried about much more than making sure I was healthy again. So that’s how I went about this and it’s made me more mentally sharp than ever. I feel as good as I ever have, and I’m just ready to go.”
