ALL-AROUND AND BULL RIDING WORLD CHAMPION STETSON WRIGHT “This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. This was never even on the bucket list because I thought (President Trump) was so out of reach for us to meet him. But to be here in Washington and get to hang out with him and actually get to sit down and talk to him, it was incredible. He acted like he knew us all per sonally, so it was sweet to experience that.”

BAREBACK RIDING WORLD CHAMPION ROCKER STEINER “It’s hard to put into words how much this means to me and everybody else here. I think we represent the greatest country of all time.

Just shaking his hand being in the presence of him, it’s something very few people get to do in their lifetime. I’m very

STEER WRESTLING WORLD CHAMPION TUCKER ALLEN “It’s an honor to be able to represent our way of life. I don’t think it’s something that (Washington D.C.) gets to see a lot of. It’s an honor to be able to showcase what we do. It’s kind of the backbone of what our country is.”

TEAM ROPING WORLD CHAMPION HEADER ANDREW WARD “It was just an amazing experience to see the White House and meet President Trump. It wasn’t a goal but a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and a lot of fun. Trump was amazing and made us all feel welcome. It was a great honor. I just couldn’t believe we were there. I think all of us were a little star struck. It was amazing.”
