GRATEDCOCONUT “For a full decade before his retirement in 2010, Grated Coconut dominated the sport and became arguably one of the most successful bucking horses in the history of professional rodeo. Every ride was unique. He would choose new moves for every trip but always with stunningly powerful kicks. When his job was done, he would show his personality with pride and strut around the arena showing off his natural beauty.” – Keith Marrington of the Calgary Stampede spoke on behalf of the star bareback horse

JIM SUTTON JR. “I don’t know how it could be any better. This is a pretty big deal when you get in with people like Casey Tibbs. I really never thought about being in the (ProRodeo) Hall of Fame. I tried to rodeo as good as I could and figured I wasn’t going to get in the Hall of Fame that direction. I think our rodeo company and the people in it who are mostly family have all done well with their part, and you add it all up and it turns out pretty good. ”
