RYDER WRIGHT 2017 Saddle Bronc Riding World Champion

“I try not to let being the world champion change me at all. I tried to keep riding like I was before I won the world. I think more people recognize me now, but there’s not a huge difference – but I can tell. Not much changed for me, but it’s pretty cool now being known as a world champion, it’s pretty awesome. A few more people come up and talk to me now, but it’s not really any different, it’s the same people.”
