sixth PRCA Bareback Riding World Championship this past December in Las Vegas and hasn’t missed a beat since jumping into the 2022 season. In his first rodeo of the new year Feild went to Fort Worth (Texas) and continued his dominance at the Stock Show and Rodeo. He claimed his fourth FWSSR title with a record breaking 93-point ride on Macza Pro Rodeo’s OLS Tubs Stevie Nicks in the championship round. “I love Fort Worth, I’ve been coming here since 2006,” said Feild, a 12-time Wrangler NFR qualifier. “To beat the arena record and hold it now is something special. It’s a big weekend for me.” It was Feild’s first ever matchup with OLS Tub Stevie Nicks. He said while he’s never been on the horse it’s one he’s wanted to ride for quite some time. “I’ve been watching that horse for several years now,” he said. “Tilden (Hooper) my traveling partner got on that horse, Cole (Reiner) my traveling partner got on that horse, but I’ve never had the opportunity. So, to line up here in Fort Worth and get the year started like this is pretty dang awesome, I’ll tell you that.” His performance and $26,360 payday in Fort Worth has already bumped him inside the top 5 of the PRCA | RAMWorld Standings. He credits his success over the past few years to changes in his mentality inside and outside the arena. “The way that I’ve been able to get focused in for the last year and a half has changed a little bit,” Feild said. “I don’t know if it’s just my preparation or my family, but things are really good right now. In my opinion life plays into those eight seconds. “I’m taking it as a hobby rather than a job right now. I get to do this, I get to come get on these fun bucking horses. I don’t have to do anything and it’s a lot of fun. Over the years I’ve learned to treat it that way and I think that’s really helped me.” He plans to take that mentality with him throughout the season. He said it’s all about using that early season confidence and turning into more success down the rodeo road. “It gives me a lot of confidence going into San Antone and big rodeos like this,” he said. “It’s a lot of fun, I’m really looking forward to the rest of the year and seeing how it all shakes out in the end.”
