MANAGER’S MESSAGE TRACY RENCK 1995 was a year to remember, especially at rodeos T he year was 1995 – actor Brad Pitt was voted People magazine’s Sexiest Man of the Year and Coolio’s “Gangsta’s Paradise” was the top song of the year. Braveheart with Mel Gibson won the Oscar for Channel Plus App. Now let’s flash back to February of 1995 to the Southwestern Exposition Livestock Show and Rodeo in Fort Worth, Texas – renamed the Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo. Legendary Ty Murray had a rodeo to remember.

best picture and Toy Story , Pixar’s first feature-length film and the first computer-animated film in history, was released. Also: • O.J. Simpson’s trial captivated audiences • ER, Seinfeld and Friends were the most popular TV shows. • eBay debuted on the internet • Starbucks released the frozen Frappuccino It’s crazy that those events happened 30 years ago. Well, in the world of rodeo – specifically the PRCA – future ProRodeo Hall of Famers were making noise on the trail in January and February. At that year’s National Western Stock Show and Rodeo in Denver, the tie-down roping average champion was Joe Beaver. Beaver was a five-time PRCA Tie-Down Roping World Champion (1985, 1987, 1988, 1992 and 1993) at that time. Beaver clocked a 28.6-second time on three head. He left town after earning $10,388. That paycheck helped propel Beaver to his first PRCA All-Around World Championship in 1995. He claimed the coveted title with $141,753 to edge second place ProRodeo Hall of Famer Roy Cooper ($108,734). Beaver won his final two world championships in his storied career in the all-around in 1996 and 2000. It was worth noting in Denver in 1995, the National Western Stock Show and Rodeo sold a record 190,083 tickets over 12 performances from Jan. 11-22. The 2025 NWSSR concludes Jan. 26 at 2 p.m. (MT) at the Denver Coliseum and can be seen on The Cowboy Channel or streamed on the PRCA on The Cowboy

A 25-year-old Murray split second in the third round of saddle bronc riding to pocket $1,833 and then placed in the first two rounds and won the short round of bull riding to grab another $10,771. In the bulls, Murray won the average with 249 points on three head, defeating second place and fellow future ProRodeo Hall of Famer Jim Sharp, who had 234 points on three head. Unfortunately for Murray, his 1995 PRCA season ended abruptly the third week of June when he tore a knee ligament. Murray, who had won six straight all-around world championships (1989-94) as well as a world bull riding title in 1993, underwent knee surgery June 30 to repair a torn posterior cruciate ligament in his right knee. That was part of a slew of injuries suffered by Murray later in his career, but he did show his true grit by bouncing back to win his final two career PRCA World Championships in 1998 – in the all-around and bull riding. Cowboys will make more memories at the 2025 Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo, which began Jan. 24 and concludes Feb. 8. Maybe the next Ty Murray is lurking in the wings or Stetson Wright – a modern-day Ty Murray – will reestablish his dominance at Dickies Arena. It is worth noting that Wright is only one PRCA World Championship away from tying Murray who has nine. Until next time.

For Bridger Chambers, rodeo went from a full-time gig to a part-time passion. The two time NFR qualifier became a real estate agent in 2023, and the new income afforded him the opportunity just to compete. That allowed Chambers to capture the season title at the RAM Montana Circuit Finals Rodeo.

HOT TAKES

COWBOY GRILLE WITH TANNER BARTH

How’d you get your start in rodeo? Brey: It was something I just grew up doing. That was about all we knew how to do back home. So, it’s something I’ve always had a passion for. When did you know you could make a career out of rodeo? Brey: Coming up through high school rodeo, the thought was that I was going to pay for school with my rope. Then I went down to Texas and started roping with some guys who were making the Finals and I was winning a little bit here and there. So, I figured if I kept working at it, I could probably do it professionally. Why did you decide tie-down roping would be your event? Brey: I roped calves and bulldogged quite a bit. I just wasn’t quite big enough to turn the steers back like some of those guys can. So, I figured I’d rope calves because it was a little bit of a better fit. Did you do any other rodeo events growing up? Brey: I actually team roped, steer wrestled and roped calves all the time growing up. I feel like I’ve done it all since I was a kid: riding sheep, goat tying and doing the ribbon poles. Why did you decide to get your PRCA card this season? Brey: I have two pretty good horses now that I’m really confident on. So, I figured I might as well give it a shot while they’re sound and healthy and I’m healthy too. What do you hope to learn during your Resistol Rookie season? Brey: I haven’t ever really left the circuit rodeos around me. So, I guess I’m hoping to learn about all the other rodeos and see all the new country. I want to make it something to remember. Who’s someone you look up to in the rodeo business right now? Brey: I’ve always really idolized Ryan Jarrett and Brent Lewis. They are just real cowboys who maybe didn’t come from everything, but always figured out a way to win and how to be the best. What’s one rodeo you want to win before your career is over? Brey: It would have to be Houston or Calgary for sure. Those are a couple of the biggest rodeos, and they have been around for a long time. What’s your favorite movie? Brey: Not very many people have seen it, but the movie The Cowboy Way is pretty good. Lonesome Dove and Tombstone are good movies as well. What’s your go-to restaurant before or after a rodeo? Brey: We don’t really have a specific place that we like to stop, but anywhere that serves steak and potatoes is usually at the top of the list. What’s the first vehicle you drove? Brey: I think it was a 1999 Ford F-250 that my dad owned. We rodeoed out of it all the time when I was junior rodeoing. Do you have a favorite candy? Brey: Peanut Butter Snickers is definitely my favorite. What do you enjoy doing when you’re not rodeoing? Brey: I like training green calf horses or rope horses. I also enjoy working with colts when I get the time. What’s your favorite holiday? Brey: I’m going to say the Fourth of July. We are usually at a good rodeo and it’s warm. Then obviously getting to celebrate our country. What type of music do you like listening to? Brey: I just like regular ol’ country music. I really don’t have a favorite artist. I listen to whatever is playing at the time really. Brey Yore, 21, has his PRORODEO career pointed in the right direction after a strong start to the 2025 season. The Rupert, Idaho, tie-down roper finished second in the average at the Sandhills Stock Show & Rodeo in Odessa, Texas. Yore pocketed $4,543 at the PRCA Playoff Series stop in early January. He currently sits No. 1 in the race for the Resistol Rookie of the Year title with $8,870 on his ledger this season.

SHORT ROUND

Eight-time world champ Stetson Wright returns after injury It’s Official

A fter missing in action for more than 13 months, Stetson Wright left no doubt that he’s back during his return at the National Western Stock Show and Rodeo on Jan. 17 in Denver. Wright arrived at the Denver Coliseum without a spot on the daysheet, hoping to fill the place of a turnout. Everything went according to plan and Wright made the most of his first appearance at a PRORODEO event since receiving a doctor’s release in December of 2023 at the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo presented by Teton Ridge. Wright paired with The Cervi Brothers’ Heyoka for an 89-point ride, the highest scored trip of the round. “My feelings are kind of going everybody in my family in the short period since I got off. I keep telling them that every ride feels like I won the world.” Wright suffered a hamstring injury late everywhere,” Wright said after the performance. “I’ve talked to almost

many cowboys and cowgirls who can take 14 months off and be completely fine with it. “I wasn’t worried 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.” Wright holds eight PRCA World Championships with five all-around titles from 2019-23, two bull riding championships in 2020 and 2022 and one saddle bronc gold buckle in 2021. But despite his success, the 25-year-old from Beaver, Utah, had difficulty entering winter rodeos because of his year-long hiatus. “I wasn’t even meant to be in Denver,” Wright said. “I walked up and ended up drawing one of the best bulls here. I knew that if I was going to have a chance to ride him because he’s pretty gassy, I needed to be as healthy as I’ve ever been.”

in the 2023 season and was released from the 2023 NFR after Round 2. Shortly thereafter, he underwent surgery to repair the injury, and his recovery took longer than initially expected. “The past 13 or 14 months have been a roller coaster of emotions,” Wright said ahead of the opening round of the National Western Stock Show and Rodeo. “I’m sad that I haven’t been able to ride, but there was a lot for me to be grateful for. There aren’t

The following night, Wright also received a spot in the daysheet in the saddle bronc riding. He earned a 73-point ride in the first round and a 77.5-point trip in the second round. “The only question I’ve seen lately is, is he going to ride bulls and saddle broncs? And I will be back in both,” Wright said.“But I’m still after the triple crown. That’s the number one thing on my mind. I’m 100% back. I’m healthy and there are no excuses now.”

Bull rider Vocu on mend after injury at NWSSR in Denver

Bull rider Bo Vocu is on the mend after being carried off the arena floor at the National Western Stock Show and Rodeo on Jan. 18 in Denver. Vocu suffered a concussion during the performance and was transferred to an area hospital. He was discharged later that night and is hoping to return to competition shortly. “I’m doing all right, and I just got a concussion, thank goodness,” Vocu said on Jan. 20. “I got out of the hospital the same night that it happened. I spent all day yesterday just resting, and I’m heading home now. So, I’m still relaxing and trying to keep from

doing too much and let my brain heal.” Vocu is slated to compete at the Fort Worth (Texas) Stock Show & Rodeo but said he’s prioritizing his recovery and will make sure he’s at 100 percent before he gets back on another bull. “There’s never a good time to get hurt, but this time of the year is definitely a little better,” Vocu said. “There’s not a whole lot going on. In a week and a half, I have Fort Worth, and I’m going to wait and see how I feel to decide whether or not I’m going to go. “I had a lot of prayers and family members call me. I’m glad that it worked out as well as it did.”

Two years ago, Jacobs Crawley thought he was done competing in PRORODEO. Crawley suffered a burst fracture of his T12 and sustained damage to his T11 and L1 vertebrae when he was pinned against the chute on June 25, 2023, at the Greeley (Colo.) Stampede. He later underwent surgery to fuse his T10, T11, T12, L1 and L2 vertebrae and clean up the surrounding area.

Later, Moore helped run the NFR’s press room. She served as awards chairman for the Girls Rodeo Association (GRA), securing vehicles, trailers and other donations for barrel racing champions, and became a GRA director at-large, bull riding director and Southern Region director. In 1973, she accepted the executive secretary position for the GRA/WPRA (Women’s Professional Rodeo Association), a position she served in for 22 years.

member Lydia Moore passed away on Jan. 9. She was 91. Moore was born in St. Charles, Ill., to a rodeo/circus family. She received trick-roping lessons from Billy Buschbaum at age 10 and performed at area rodeos. She and her sister, Percyna, were instrumental in establishing the Missouri Girls Rodeo Association. They also won events such as goat tying, barrel racing and pole bending. In 1967, the Moore family moved to Oklahoma and, shortly thereafter, Lydia Moore was hired by ProRodeo Hall of Fame announcer Clem McSpadden as the liaison between the NFR and barrel racers. The road to a possible return to rodeo looked bleak, and the 2015 PRCA Saddle Bronc Riding World Champion and 10-time National Finals Rodeo qualifier shifted his focus outside the arena. But less than two years later, the 36-year-old is back and enjoying early success in the 2025 season with impressive showings at the Sandhills Stock Show & Rodeo in Odessa, Texas, and the National Western Stock Show and Rodeo in Denver. “I need to practice up and get ready, but I’m so grateful,” Crawley said of his return to PRORODEO. “It’s such an emotional deal because I was

his 2025 PRORODEO season pointed in the right direction with an impressive 86-point ride on Beutler & Son Rodeo’s Smoke Bomb at the Sandhills Stock Show & Rodeo in Odessa, Texas. His performance earned him $3,347 during the event’s sixth performance. “This win means a lot,” Carricato, 19, said. “It’s my first rodeo of the season, and starting with a good result makes it easier to stay confident moving forward. It shows me I can compete at this level.” Carricato, currently competing on his permit for a second season, has been immersed in rodeo from an early age, inspired by his father, who also rodeoed throughout his life. “My dad got me started and I’ve been around rodeo all my life,” Carricato said. Carricato took a short break over the holidays before returning back to the fierce competition in Odessa with a renewed focus. “I just finished all the college rodeos, went home for Christmas, and took some time to reset and think about the season,” Carricato said. “Going into Odessa, I didn’t know much about the horse, so I just went with it. I’m happy with how it turned out.” Carricato has also been successful on the college rodeo circuit, representing Tarleton State University. In the fall, he won the Cooks (Texas) College Shootout and had strong finishes at other events. “It went well for me and my traveling partners. The experience helped me prepare for this season,” he said. Looking ahead, Carricato has set ambitious goals for 2025. He aims to compete in more PRORODEO events and increase his earnings while continuing to enjoy the process. “Last year was my first time pro rodeoing, and I didn’t get to go as much as I wanted,” Carricato said.” This year, I’m trying to attend more events and keep improving while trying to have fun with it.” Carricato looks forward for the rest of the season, which leads him to the National Western Stock Show and Rodeo in Denver, where he hopes to build on his early-season success. “I try to stay positive and focus on getting better every day,” Carricato said. “My goal is to make it to the big show someday.” With a strong start to the season and a determined mindset, Carricato is making strides toward becoming a standout in the rodeo world.

GREAT FALLS, MONT.

RAM MONTANA CIRCUIT FINALS RODEO

Home Cooking

Haven Meged adds another Montana Circuit Finals title BY DAGIN RENCK Special to ProRodeo Sports News R eaching the pinnacle of PRORODEO is a grueling, relentless battle. It makes the second trek to the top that much harder. Haven Meged knows the feeling all too well. The tie down roper’s ascent was meteoric, capturing a PRCA World Title in his rookie campaign. PRORODEO Hall of Famer Joe Beaver was the last tie-down roper to complete the feat, claiming his first title back in 1985. Since his magical run in 2019, Meged’s pursuit for a second gold buckle has been persistent. The 26-year-old has notched six NFR qualifications in as many seasons, including three finishes in the top three of the PRCA | Bill Fick Ford World Standings over the past four seasons. However, it doesn’t ease the pressure for the soaring cowboy. “Last year when I came here it felt so easy and I had so much fun,” Meged said after winning Round 6 at the 2024 Wrangler NFR. “I’ve pressed way too much this year, beating myself from the start. I didn’t draw the best right off the bat, but I definitely let two slip away for good money, so I’m just trying to make sure to go out and have fun.” And despite Meged’s internal pressure to claim another title, it hasn’t slowed him from shining as one of the top cowboys in the Montana Circuit. The Miles City, Mont., native has notched four tie-down roping season titles in five seasons on the circuit. For Meged, it’s not something he takes lightly. “Oh, it’s great,” said the roper. “I grew up in the area, so it’s awesome to represent my home state while having success throughout the country.” The appearance marked his first since the 2024 Wrangler NFR in early December. Meged was unfazed, not missing a beat. The roper notched a second-place finish in Round 1 with an 8.7-second run. It was a sign of what was to come. The cowboy backed up his opening performance with another trip to the pay window, nabbing third place with a 10.6-second run. With one showing to go, Meged needed to be a second faster than fellow competitor James Ramirez to claim the average title. “I knew when I was backing in that I had to get after it,” the cowboy explained. He never flinched. Instead, he made it look easy. Meged dazzled with the fastest time of the weekend, earning a 7.6-second run to notch the go-round win and his second-career circuit finals title. “I was fortunate to have three pretty good calves, and my horse was running well,” said Meged in his self-assessment. “To be honest, some things fell my way. We had a good set of ropers up there and it was pretty tough.” The tie-down roper landed atop the leaderboard with 26.9 seconds on three head, netting the $4,000 top prize and a spot at the NFR Open this summer in Colorado Springs, Colo. Over the three-day event, Meged amassed $11,001. “It always means a little more to win in front of the home crowd with plenty of friends and family in attendance,” said Meged. “I always enjoy getting to go home. I spend a lot of time hanging out with my high school buddies and catching up with the people I grew up rodeoing with.”
