PRORODEO Sports News - March 27, 2026 Digital Edition

TWO-TIME NFR BULL RIDER AND ONE-TIME NFR BAREBACK RIDER WACEY SCHALLA “This is everything I’ve ever wanted to do since I was little. To be here doing the best I can and hopefully win some gold buckles, it would be even nicer to do it on the 90th anniversary. “I grew up watching Cody Custer. One of my favorite rides of his was when he rode (Growney Brothers’) Wolfman at the (1991) NFR (in Round 10 for 94 points). I thought that was really cool and it made me want to be right up there with him.” TWO-TIME NFR BAREBACK RIDER BRADLEE MILLER “The 90th anniversary … everyone that I’ve watched has been a part of these last 90 years. To be a part of it now is such an awesome thing to look back on. “I’ve watched old videos of (ProRo deo Hall of Famers) Chris LeDoux and Bobby Mote, Kaycee Field … Hopefully I’ll make it to the 100th anniversary.” THREE-TIME PRCA TIE-DOWN ROPING WORLD CHAMPION RILEY WEBB “It’s cool that for 90 years they have had PRORODEO. It keeps getting better and better every year and I’m glad to be in this era coming up and letting it expand with me. I need to keep winning because the prize money keeps getting bigger. “It’s great to be able to make a living with my rope and be a professional athlete. I dreamed of making a living while roping. Never thought I could be doing this but it’s awesome.”

THREE-TIME NFR STEER WRESTLER BRIDGER ANDERSON

“An unforgettable moment is probably the NFR going to Las Vegas (in 1985). It seems like it grew (the sport) exponentially from there and continues to grow. It’s awesome for contestants like me in my generation that we’re able to make a liv ing rodeoing and it’s continuing to get better. Someday, this could be a full career that pays all our bills and we’re able to live well off it. “It’s awesome to see what Vegas has done and what PRORODEO has done to continue making our livelihoods better and add more money to it. I won’t make it for (another 90 years) but I think PRORODEO is something that will never end.
