FORT WORTH STOCK SHOW & RODEO

Josh Frost captures bull riding glory James Phifer photo Bull rider Josh Frost progressed through the Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo with rides like this 82-point trip on 4L & Diamond S Rodeo’s Pass The Booze on Jan. 28.

Standout bull rider Josh Frost had never won the storied Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo and that changed on Feb. 4. The Randlett, Utah, cowboy had a 90.5-point ride on Rafter G Rodeo’s High Brow Cat to win the finals at the Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo before a sellout crowd of 9,300 at Dickies Arena. “This feels amazing,” Frost said. “I actually got hurt here in 2021 and it feels good to get back out here and get four bulls rode through this rodeo and come out on top. I had never been on that bull before. “I had seen that bull a bunch and Rafter G just barely bought him, he’s new to their string, but he has been around for a while, and he’s known to do some wild, crazy stuff. I knew I just needed to be a cowboy and go jump for jump and it worked out pretty good.” Frost, who finished second in the 2022 PRCA | RAMWorld

Standings, earned $20,000 for his finals ride. Reigning PRCA Bull Riding World Champion Stetson Wright finished second with an 87.5-point ride on 4L &Diamond S Rodeo’s Dances with Monsters and earned $16,000. Frost andWright were the only bull riders out of the eight in the finals to make the whistle. “It was just bull riding, but it got pretty scrappy,” said Frost about his winning ride. “Once he turned back, he was getting it. I just had to kick loose and bear down. Getting a win like this (early in the season) means a lot. “These big winter rodeos are very important. We all saw it last year with Sage Kimzey. He won $100,000 by going to like eight rodeos. That was my big goal coming into this year to make these winter rodeos count and take a little better care of my body and be focused and have fun.”
