familiar stock. In four rides together, the pair has scored an average of nearly 88 points, including two first-place finishes. He knew the 2018 PRCA Saddle Bronc Horse of the Year would give him a good chance to claim his first victory of the 2022 season. “Lunatic FromHell is an awesome horse and I mean it gets a guy real excited that he knows he’s got a real good chance to win,” Boore said. “There’s not a much better feeling than seeing a horse like that next to your name.” Boore aims to rebound after his 2021 season did not go as planned. The cowboy was forced to end his season after suffering a shoulder injury in late August. After the time on the sideline, a win helped reassure Boore he still can compete at an elite level. “I think it will probably shoot it (my confidence) through the roof,” Boore said. “It’ll help me just remember that I dang sure can compete with these guys and I have just as good of a chance as anybody.” Boore’s next stop was Fort Worth where he hoped to build off the victory and stick to the mentality that has landed him a pair of trips inside the yellow bucking chutes. “I think a guy’s just got to plan on winning everywhere he goes,” Boore said. “Shoot for the world title and be in the top five going into the NFR. That’s kind of what a guy’s goals needs to be… a lot of times it just takes a little confidence to get going and then you do what you need to do.”
