“It was a battle last season. I had to figure out how to deal with it. I was more worried about landing on my head than staying on the bull.

If God is willing, maybe it will happen.” NEXT ON TAP HORSE HEAVEN ROUNDUP Where: Kennewick, Wash.

He broke his neck in 2021, creating physical and mental obstacles that kept him out of the sport for six months. But the adversity has made him stronger. He showed that by winning the Cowtown Rodeo Xtreme Bulls, Aug. 15. His goal remains the Wrangler NFR.
