For The First Time In American Rodeo History The Top 10 World Invitees Win In Every Event PRESS RELEASE: March 7, 2021 - RFD-TV’s The American Rodeo Presented by Durango Boots has crowned its 2021 champions, and each of these winners, for the first time in the American Rodeo history, are all from the top 10 world invitees, each taking home $100,000 in prize money. Because no qualifier won their event, there was no million dollar bonus this year, and now the million will carry over to next year to potentially turn someone into the next multi-million dollar cowboy. “All of these champions today demonstrated such strength and perseverance throughout the entire competition and there were so many incredible performances,” said The American Rodeo CEO Randy Bernard. “We were so fortunate to host this event this year under extraordinary times and all of the athletes were extremely appreciative to have something to look forward to and compete when many events were unable to operate due to Covid.” After 11 days of competition from slack rounds to the Semi-Finals in Fort Worth to Arlington, the final champions of the American Rodeo have been decided in an epic battle to one of the most coveted titles in western sports. The following 2021 American Rodeo winners are as follows: Ryder Wright on horse All or Nothing wins Saddle Bronc with a 91.25, making this his second American Rodeo win in three years. When asked about winning this year and the support of his brothers he responds, “It’s awesome and I think that’s why we have so much success. We all do the same thing and to have my brothers behind me on the chutes, you can’t beat family.” He adds, “This is awesome and all of us cowboys appreciate these guys pulling through and having this rodeo with all the stuff going on right now.” Colten Fritzlan wins his first American Rodeo in Bull Riding at the age of 21 and climbs the steps for his check with a big smile on his face. “This is definitely what I’ve been looking forward to for a long time. I’m glad it worked out and I am blessed. For one thing, I like it over here in Arlington and all the hard work we put in everyday made it work out. I just take it every bull at a time and have the right mindset and let it all hang out.” Colten also won in 2020 the PRCA Resistol Rookie of the Year for bull riding. Breakaway Roping winner Jill Tanner took eight years off and said, “I for sure didn’t think I was going to win it. I am definitely not the best roper here but today was my day.“ Shane Hanchey ends up with the win for Tie-Down Roping and has the will and heart of a champion. “I just feel like I am the best roper in the world. If you don’t believe it, then you’re not it. Confidence is the main key to this game from bareback to bull riding. I just felt on that horse, I had all the confidence in the world and if not for TJ, I wouldn’t be here.” Veteran world champion Erich Rogers and young gun Paden Bray, who won the 2020 NFR average, take the American Rodeo title for Team Roping and Rogers, a 10X NFR qualifier, says this is one he’s been wanting for a long time. “This buckle here is pretty sweet. The fans and sponsors and everyone behind the scenes have given us the opportunity for this money and buckle and we are here to show our talents.” said Rogers. Barrel Racing winner Hailey Kinsel continues to win and is a 3x American Rodeo champion. “We are grateful for every opportunity, especially really nice ones like this and especially after such a hard year on everyone and being given something to run at and able to showcase my amazing horse.” 7X NFR qualifier Tilden Hooper takes the Bareback title and after a seasoned career can now claim winner of The American Rodeo and sets him up well for a world title. “Man that was awesome. That Gunfire is a special horse and I was super excited to draw her,” he said when accepting his $100,000 check. Steer Wrestling The American Rodeo champion Jacob Talley puts on a show winning the $100,000 prize and had a spectacular run all day in both the long go and short go rounds. When asked how he felt about his final ride he said, “It’s a little nerve wracking waiting to go. It’s amazing and unreal to win so early in the year.” The results and photo / video assets can be found below: Short Round Results: HERE Shootout Results: HERE Video Compilation of the Winners HERE (Must credit The Cowboy Channel / RFD-TV The American Rodeo) Images: https://rfdtv.zenfolio.com/p760662368 (Password: americanmedia21) (Please credit the photos by photographer name, The American Rodeo / Rural Media Group) For more information and a complete listing of RFD-TV’s The American Rodeo presented by Durango Boots, please visit www.americanrodeo.com Facebook: @RFDTVTheAmerican | Twitter: @RFDTVAmerican | Instagram: @RFDTVAmerican About RFD-TV: RFD-TV is the flagship network for Rural Media Group.

When the clock stopped ticking, and the riders stopped kicking, it was Chris Bechthold's winning ride on Dragons Breath of Rafter G that made him champion at the Ellis County Stock Show Xtreme Bulls in Waxahachie Texas. Dragon's Breath showing how he got his name. Chris riding Dragon's Breath all the way to the bank. Ride 'em cowboy!

#imagehounds #Texas #DontMessWithTexas #RafterG #RoughStock #Bulls #Cowboy #WaxahachieTexas #8Seconds #XtremeBulls #PRCA #EllisCountyStockShow #iHPhotography Mesquite is named "The Rodeo Capital of Texas" and this weekend PRCA cowboys saddled up for one of the only events being held in a fan filled arena. There is a pandemic going on and the only cure is more cowbell! The stadium seating was at half capacity to allow for some social distancing but inside the arena it was jam packed with action. In one of the only pro rodeo events being held with fans in attendance, the cowboys did not disappoint. Events from broncs to bulls were a thrill to watch. Bradley Harter on broncs, Walt Arnold wrestling steers and James Rogers on bulls provided heart stopping performances and proving Mesquite is definitely the capitol of rodeo.

The Barrel Racing Association of Texas was kicking up dirt for its Mother's Day event in North Texas. Hundreds of riders were trying their best to keep some distance from barrels as they returned to the arena to battle for cash and bragging rights. Although this Texas tradition can be filled with serious competition, its more like a get together with friends and family to ride horses and have fun. Winning buckles and money is nice but its the laughs and good times is all we ever remember. So it was nice to see so many riders come out and take part in this run for the money at Shepherds Valley arena in Alvarado. CLICK PHOTO TO ENLARGE: We were also happy to be back in the arena capturing the action and picking up where we left off. Its always our pleasure to be a part of the BRAT family and we thank everybody for embracing us as your official photographers.
