Letter from the Editor Greetings! By the time you read this, it will officially be spring and bull riding is going strong all across the country. We are excited about this issue of Humps N Horns as it marks the close of our 20th year of publication. Over the past year, we have enjoyed reminiscing and reviewing some different aspects of bull riding and how it has changed over the past 20 years. However, it is also an exciting time to think about what the next twenty years will bring. I’m sure it will be an interesting journey to see how the world evolves in the ways we communicate such as printed magazines and the ever expanding digital platforms. I’m more of a lowtech kind of guy so it’s hard for me to even imagine what new technology will be coming down the road and how it may affect our lives. I’m sure there will also be a lot of changes in the actual bull riding events and the organizations that produce and promote these events, as well. Some may come and some may go so let’s do all we can to support those who work tirelessly to make these events happen.
Letters to the Editor
One thing that I know won’t change is our commitment to you and our desire to continue working hard to make HNH the best bull riding publication in the world. I am honored to serve with such a great team of people who work diligently to produce a magazine that you look forward to reading each and every month. Thank you for supporting Humps N Horns Bull Riding Magazine! Until next time, Terry

Dear Friends,
I so enjoyed my February issue. I love Tiffany and Jerome Davis plus Tiffany’s mom, Linda. And to add to my pleasure, news about Brendon Clarkand life after retirement. I do read all the articles, as well, but this issue hit home! I attended 17 rodeos in Archdale [Editor’s note- Jerome and Tiffany Davis’ annual event]. This was the first year I missed. I’ll be 94 on March 28th Good Lord willing so it’s hard for me to travel. Keep up the good work. God bless. Angela Rossetti

Talking “Bull” with Brayden
We are going to talk about some of the great bull riders in the Bull Riding Hall of Fame. I hope you find it interesting and cool. You will find out who’s in the Bull Riding Hall of Fame for winning the most money as Rookie of the Year in the PRCA. You will also find out why Lane Frost and Tuff Hedeman are in the Bull Riding Hall of Fame. So let’s get into it.
There are many more inductees in the Bull Riding Hall of Fame. To find out more about them visit the Bull Riding Hall of Fame in Fort Worth, Texas. They include Jim Shoulders, Larry Mahan, Mytris Dightman, Terry Don West, Jack Wiseman, Denny Flynn, Bill Kornell, Randy Magers, Jerome Davis, Ty Murray, Glen Bird, and Wacey Cathey.
There are 26 bull riders in the Bull Riding Hall of Fame. Let’s talk about some of them and what got them there. Two riders, Harry Tompkins and Don Gay, share being in the Bull Riding Hall of Fame for having 8 world titles. George Paul rode 79 bulls in a row. The oldest man to win a world title, Freckles Brown, was deployed to China during WWII, got Army mules and some local cattle, and had a rodeo.
Who will the 2019 inductees be? Could it be Justin McBride? He won a world title, the Ring of Honor and was the coach for team USA in the PBR Global Cup series. What about Adriano Morales? He’s a three time PBR world champion who also has two world titles in the NFR and was the coach for team Brazil in the Global Cup series. There are so many more that could easily be in there as well. I would love to know who is your favorite. Message me on Facebook.
The first person to win four consecutive world titles was Dick Griffin. The only man to qualify 14 times to an NFR is Ted Nuce. He also won a gold medal for bull riding in the Winter Olympics in 1988. The only man to win 4 Reserve World Championships is Bob Wenger. John Quintana was the first bull rider to score a 94 and 96 point ride. Another cool guy, Gary Leffew, is a world champion and 8 time NFR qualifier. Ronnie Rossen the first bull rider in 6 years to ride the bull named Speck. Chris Shivers is a world champion who also won the Ring of Honor and on top of all that he is a big part of the MBR (the association I ride in).
I hope you enjoyed learning about the riders in the Bull Riding Hall of Fame with me. To find out more about me go to my Facebook page @BraydenHollywoodBrown. Thank you again, Brayden Hollywood Brown
One of my favorites is Tuff Hedeman who is in the Bull Riding Hall of Fame for being the first bull rider to reach the one millon dollar mark in the PRCA. Jim “Razor” Sharp is one cool guy. He is in the Bull Riding Hall of Fame for winning most money as rookie of the year in the PRCA. One that everyone knows, Lane Frost, matched up with PRCA bucking bull of the year, Red Rock. No one rode him in 309 attempts. Lane was the only person to ride him 3 out of 4 tries.

Are You Willing? We’ve been told (by the world’s religious system) over and over that we must maintain a standard so that God won’t turn His back on us. This keeps people doing things out of fear rather than doing things from a heart full of peace (peace and rest for us is the message of Jesus). What possible standard could we in our humanness uphold to be viewed by God as perfect? (Perfection is His standard). The answer is not relying on any human effort, it is simply believing in and receiving Jesus! When we are willing to receive this as our perfection we then are given the right to be called His children. (refer to John 1:12-13) We must be willing to turn our back on the lie of fear driven religious human efforts (Law) at any level for our spiritual perfection. Are you willing to do this? If we continue to rely on our efforts we disrespect Jesus and His Love toward us. Had anyone else been able to live perfect Jesus would not have chosen to leave heaven, but no one could so He did because of Love. Have you received the gift of life offered. The gift is to believe in the person of Jesus Christ as your Savior/Messiah? If your answer is yes then you have the very Spirit of God living in you. There is no separation from God, nor will there ever be. You are in Him and He is in you. You, The Father, Son and Spirit are one.
God will never turn His back on Himself. If you are one with Him that means He will never turn His back on you. (refer to 1John 4:7-21) “God sent him (Jesus) to buy freedom for us who were slaves to the law, so that he could adopt us as his very own children. And because we are his children, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, prompting us to call out, “Abba, Father.” Now you are no longer a slave but God’s own child. And since you are his child, God has made you his heir. Before you Gentiles knew God, you were slaves to so-called gods that do not even exist. So now that you know God (or should I say, now that God knows you), why do you want to go back again and become slaves once more to the weak and useless spiritual principles of this world? You are trying to earn favor with God by observing certain days or months or seasons or years.” (Don’t do it). Galatians 4:5-10 Peace and rest to you today, Jesus Loves you! Cody Custer Jesus loves you!

assist with the motion of the shoulder. Injuries that may occur to the rotator cuff include tendonitis, bursitis, and tears. Most rotator cuff injuries are the result of repetitive use, but they can occur in falls. Symptoms include shoulder pain when lifting arm out to the side, arm weakness, and pain that runs down the arm. Dislocation Contact sports come with an increased risk of shoulder dislocation. The socket of the shoulder joint is shallow, and this allows for the great range of complex motions that can be made with the arm. Unfortunately, this also makes the shoulder vulnerable to dislocation.
Tips to Prevent Shoulder Injuries
When the shoulder dislocates, it means that the ball at the head of the humerus has come out of the glenoid socket. Often, it is clearly visible that the arm is out of place. Symptoms include severe pain, swelling, bruising, and difficulty in moving the arm. It is very important to receive medical attention for a dislocation because damage can occur to the surrounding tissue, possibly leading to a loss of function in the arm. With a simple dislocation, the joint can be manipulated back into the socket through a process known as reduction. However, many shoulder dislocations are accompanied by fractures and damage to surrounding tissue. In these situations, surgery may be required. Labrum
The shoulder is a complex joint that is made up of several parts. The structure of the shoulder joint is essentially a ball and socket. The top of the humerus (upper arm bone) acts as the ball and fits into the glenoid cavity on the scapula (shoulder blade). Around the glenoid, you have the labrum, a thick band of tissue that stabilizes the upper arm bone as part of the shoulder joint. In addition to this, you also have various systems of ligaments, tendons, and muscles that assist in movement and stability of the shoulder.
A SLAP injury is a type of labral tear that affects the top part of the labrum from the front to the back. The labrum keeps your arm bone in the shoulder socket. These injuries commonly occur in throwing athletes and they can also be the result of an impact or collision. Common symptoms include catching of the shoulder when it is in motion, clicking or popping sounds when in motion, and pain when lifting the arm overhead. In some cases, a SLAP injury can be rehabilitated through rest and rehabilitative exercises, however, there are times when surgery is required.
In sport, there are many ways that the shoulder can suffer an injury. In contact sports, or sports where an impact to the shoulder is possible, injuries like dislocations and AC joint injuries are common. For athletes that engage in overhand throwing, or other overhand motions, injuries to the rotator cuff and labrum are common. Common Shoulder Injuries Rotator Cuff Injuries to the rotator cuff are especially common among athletes that perform overhand throwing or other overhand motions. The rotator cuff consists of a group of muscles and tendons that surround and connect to the shoulder. These muscles keep the shoulder in the socket, and they

The shoulder is a part of the body that is especially prone to injury. For this reason, it is important for athletes to take every step possible in the prevention of shoulder injuries. • Stretching: For throwers, stretching and warming up the shoulder is important. Before an event, you need to loosen up the shoulder muscles before starting to throw. • Strengthening: Building strength in the shoulder, neck, back, and arms can take some of the stress off the shoulder, and this can help to prevent shoulder injuries. • Protective gear: In contact sports, the use of protective gear is fundamental in protection against shoulder injuries. Make sure that you are using the right protective gear for your sport and that it fits your body properly. • Set Limits: Throwing athletes may need to set limits to the number of throws that they have per game. This can prevent overuse injuries like tendonitis from occurring. • Rest: After an event, you need to give the shoulder enough rest time. Failing to do so, can hinder healing time and can increase the risk of overuse injuries. • If needed, Adjust Techniques: Adjustments to technique and body mechanics can prevent shoulder injuries.

Inspiration Point
his way from the green pastures and plains to Sodom. Lot first pitched his tents far from Sodom, but by the time the Lord destroys Sodom, we see Lot “Sitting in the gate” (Gen.19:1) and living in the wicked city. We can see by Lot’s poor choices, that he had reached a level of acceptance with those in the city of Sodom (Gen. 19).
by Keno Shrum
Lot’s Slippery Slope Thinking about decisions we make and consequences we face as a result of those decisions, I paused for a moment to ponder. What if everybody in the world really thought of consequences. Everything we do has some sort of consequence, both good and bad. While reading some articles on the subject, I ran across this one by Craig Hecht. Lot’s Slippery Slope by Craig Hecht via Cedar Park church of Christ Every day we make decisions; some of these decisions are simple like what to wear or eat, and some are more difficult like who will I marry or what job am I going to take. Whatever the decisions or choices we make, there are influences assisting us in making those decisions. Those influences can come in the form parents, teachers, friends or society in general. Lot made decisions in his life, that in themselves might not have been “wrong,” but one poor decision lead to another and down that slippery slope. The world around us exerts a lot of influence on us, sometimes for good but often for evil. As we will see with Lot, the pressure to conform to the world was strong, and before he realized it, he was like those of the world.
Lot’s slippery slope had dire consequences for him and his family. First, he was tormented by the wickedness of Sodom (2Peter 2:7-8). The sin of that city bothered him, but it was only to a point because he chose to stay there. Secondly, his morals were corrupted (Gen. 19:4-8). The sinful state of Sodom did more than torment him. It eventually corrupted his thinking. How else do we explain Lot offering his daughters to an angry mob of men? Thirdly, he lost everything that meant anything to him. Lot lost his sons-in-laws, his wife, his home and wealth. Lot moved to the greener pastures and then to Sodom because of opportunity and money. That first decision started his slippery slope of poor choices that destroyed his family. What lessons can be learned from Lot’s example? First, set the right priorities. If we have the correct values and priorities, then the correct decisions will take care of themselves (Matt. 6:33). Secondly, seek good advice from others. Those who are mature and wise can help us make good decisions (Prov. 13:20). Always choose the best. Sometimes the decision is not between right or wrong, it is the between good, better or best. We need to learn how to tell the difference and always choose the best (Phil. 1:9-10). Lastly, we need to remember that increased exposure leads to increased tolerance and involvement. The more we are around sinful influences, the more tolerant we will become of them (Ps. 1:1). We need to be very careful about who we allow to influence us and our family (1Cor. 15:33). All of the decisions we make, even the seemingly insignificant ones, have varying potential to be disastrous. The bad decisions we make will eventually come back to haunt us. “Be not deceived; God is not mocked, for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap (Gal.6:7).
Lot’s choice to take the greener and well pastured land looked like a great business decision… where else would a herdsman want to be (Gen. 13:7-13)? That land was close to Sodom, and the men of Sodom were very sinful, but he wasn’t in Sodom yet.
If you’d like to further discuss how decisions can affect your life, especially the decision to follow Jesus, then please “Come now, and let us reason together...” Isa 1:18
Lot’s decision began a series of events that followed the pattern in Psalms 1:1- “Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.” Notice the patterns of increased involvement with the sinner - One goes from simply walking within earshot of the speech of ungodly people, to stopping and listing to what the sinners are saying, to sitting down and joining the sinner. Lot traveled a similar path on

Outside the Arena with...
Jay Daugherty By Georgia Akers
Interviewer’s comments: Anyone who has been around the sport of rodeo and the PBR knows Jay Daugherty. He is an asset to the sport. I caught up with him on his way to his daughter’s ballet performance. Definitely different than wrangling bulls and their owners. Please tell us about your background in bull riding and about you? I grew up around rodeo and racehorses. My father and brother both rodeoed and I competed at the amateur level in team roping and saddle broncs. I worked for the PRCA for several years and was in charge of the geographical circuit events before starting with the PBR back in 2000. I ended my career with the PBR as the Senior Vice President of Competition before I took on my role as Executive Director for the ABBI. What is ABBI? The ABBI has been around for nearly 15 years, originating from the old Rodeo Stock Registry of Bob Tallman’s. American Bucking Bull, Inc. (ABBI) is the largest bucking stock registry and the third largest cattle registry in the world with over 200,000 registered animals. ABBI was created to record and preserve the pedigrees of the world’s premier bucking bull livestock. The competitive structure consists of several bull divisions that are often in conjunction with Professional Bull Riders. The events are Classic, Maturity, Derby, Futurity, Yearling, Junior Futurity and Cowgirls Futurity. The ABBI World Finals takes place in Las Vegas, NV in conjunction with PBR World Finals and pays out $1.5 million to the bulls alone, over $3M for the year. What are the advantages for stock contractors of having their stock registered? It increases the value of everyone’s breeding program when you can actually have the DNA verification to back up your entire program showing the buyers and other breeders proven genetics and in return makes those animals worth more than those that are not DNA’ed. The registration papers on the bulls goes back 5 generations so that a prospective buyer can see from whom the bull comes from in the bucking bull world.
How does a stock contractor register/ join ABBI? There are several ways they can become a member: -Fill out a breeder application that can be found online at www.abbinow.com Registration/Download forms. Send that in with a payment. -Sign up directly online www.abbinow. com member login/ ABBI membership in blue box -Call the office directly at 719-242-2747 Membership prices: $135- standard; $190- Premium (allows you to research the database) After they become a member they can order DNA kits at $3.00/kit through the ABBI online store or over the phone. They can log in to their membership to register animals online, print out registration receipt and send in DNA kits for $50.00/ head (new member or birth year pricing) or fill out the paper application and send in the DNA kits which cost $60.00/head. Tell us about the competition events for the bulls. We try and offer an outlet for every aged bucking bull during the entire season and we have a Yearling, Futurity, Derby, Classic and Maturity classes to give the breeder as much opportunity to showcase their animals and earn as much as they possibly can with their animals at each stage of their lives. We also have a Junior and Cowgirls Futurity classes and as with all of our classes we provide regular season and Finals bonuses for each and every class we compete with. Our top 2-year-old Futurity winner has a chance in Vegas alone to earn over $70K and our Classic bulls will compete for nearly $500,000 that week in November in Las Vegas. For each level, the bonus is a trailer. • The Yearling is for one year old bulls. They are bucked with a 14 pound dummy for four seconds. • The Futurity is for two year old bulls. They are bucked with a 24 pound dummy for four seconds. • The Derby is for three year old bulls and they are bucked with a
Humps-Horns.com · 16 · April 2018
rider for 8 seconds. • The Classic is for three to four year old bulls and are also bucked with a rider for 8 seconds. • The Maturity is for bulls four years or older who are bucked with a rider for 8 seconds. How does a bull make it to the Classic Finals in Vegas? We take the top 35 Classic bull money earners as well as the top 5 Wild Card winners that come out of the Real Time Velocity Finals that first weekend of the ABBI / PBR World Finals. We are changing up how we crown the World Champion Classic bull this year by awarding the bull with the highest accumulative averaged score of their top 8 outs through the Finals and that bull will be the World Champion Classic and receive a $100K bonus. The reserve champion will receive a $50K bonus. The Finals Classic Champion event winner will be determined off of just their 2 outs in Vegas and that winner will also receive a check for $100K. This year there has been a change in the prize money at the Finals. What is the change? We have increased our sanctioning fee per bull, per event to $100 per competition. Taking half of that and creating year end prize pools for the classes that we can then turn around and pay it all completely back to our members. Do you do drug testing on the bulls? We do random drug testing at various events all year long and have been doing so for several years and will continue to do so. Has a stock contractor ever been banned from events? In other words what policing action is necessary? Yes, there have been a few contractors on both the ABBI and PBR that have had to be dealt with from a disciplinary board. It is not very common to happen but when a situation arises, we deal with it immediately. Our main focus is the well-being of the animals first and foremost. You have ABBI events and ABBI sanctioned events. What is the difference? I have around 7 to 8 events that we produce alone under the ABBI and I have tried to give everyone in the entire country and opportunity to compete with their animals at other events that we sanction with our name but are run by other organizations and their rules. We are just allowing current ABBI members with registered competing animals the chance to earn money in their local area that cannot otherwise go and travel thousands of miles
outside of their area. If someone was interested in sponsoring an ABBI event, what are the requirements? I am always looking and open to speaking with companies looking to be a sponsor of the ABBI and can structure a wide variety of opportunities for them. We are a tight bunch and support those companies that support us. ABBI is starting to expand in other stock registry. Please tell us about the expansion? We are an animal registry focused on bucking bulls but have the ability with our staff and DNA company to do everything from bucking horses to show steers and lambs. We started the
Humps-Horns.com · 17 · April 2018
American Bucking Horse Registry last year along with the American Fighting Bulls and will now be starting SSR the Show Stock Registry for all those folks who compete with their Show animals. We also have expanded into Canada, Australia and will be launching Brazil and Mexico soon for the bucking bulls. Who do you predict to be Bucking Bull of the Year? I don’t like to speculate on that and just look forward to seeing the best animal show their abilities all the way through the Finals. I always look forward each year to crowning those champions and seeing the enjoyment on the stock contractor’s face. (Interviewer’s comment-very diplomatic answer!) Who has been your favorite bull? Why? There are so many great bulls that I have seen over the last 18 years here and it’s hard to pick just one but I always liked Mossy Oak Mudslinger for his consistency and look and being able to always perform but there really are so many out there to pick just one.

Over the last few months, two young cowboys are following in their famous father’s footsteps. Doing his Dad proud is Brett Custer, son of PBR co-founder, 1992 PRCA Champion and Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame and Ring of Honor recipient Cody Custer. Brett finished 6th in the inaugural Tuff Hedeman Bullriding in El Paso, then just a few weeks later missed the short go by one slot in the PRCA Extreme Bulls event in Mojave, Arizona. Clancy Hart, son of Cody Hart the 1999 PBR World Champion recently won two rounds of the L.J. Jenkins Bullriding Tour Finals in Joplin, Missouri. It’s great to have a famous Dad, but it won’t be long before these two make a name of their own. ------------------------------------------------------------------------There has got to be a better way! Let me first say that as a journalist I cover the PBR, have been a rider agent and bucked bulls at Classic events. With that said, there has got to be a better way of getting current information to both fans and journalists. IMG purchased the PBR, not for their lifelong love of the sport but to make revenue. That is more than understandable. That is why they bought it, to make profits. No profits, no PBR. The current trend in all sports is to keep their content close to the vest and charge fans to see a lot of it. Again, to a certain extent, this is understandable. The problem is with the current Ride Pass and cable set up. By charging for and protecting a good segment of PBR content, the average fan who does not have the resources to purchase Ride Pass, doesn’t have fast internet speed, or doesn’t have CBS Sports Network on their cable system are left in the dark, sometimes for several hours or a day or so.
It’s no secret that bull riding is a niche sport like rodeo. It does not have universal appeal. We have to understand that. The bulk of fans have rural roots. A good percent of fans live in rural areas where internet speed does not come close to that of folks in major population centers. This is understood too. Cable companies see no profit in investing in the infrastructure where the population is not dense. Many fans now get the bulk of information from their cell phones. Social media has played a significant role in how rural folks see the world. We can’t leave out a significant part of the PBR fan base who go to an event or two a year, maybe make a few pilgrimages to Las Vegas for the Finals or purchase PBR merchandise and use their PBR credit cards. We cant’ keep these fans in the dark. IMG has got to understand that the vast majority of PBR fans do not live in NY, LA or Chicago. Their major market mindset has got to change a little and cater more to those who love the PBR and their unique needs. There has got to be a better way of juggling the balls. The PBR is trying to protect both Ride Pass and their CBS Sports Network coverage at the expense of getting timely information to their fan base. Information is slowly trickled out. Quick highlight videos after an event are almost nonexistent. E-mail me at jeff@bbtvmedia.com and let me know how you would resolve the issue. ------------------------------------------------------------------------Brazilian bull riders may be dominating the PBR, but a new generation of great American cowboys is coming out of the PRCA. While the NRF several years ago had a quality of bull rider and bull that would make you cringe ProRodeo has now entered a new golden age.

Sage Kimzey has blazed this trailed followed currently by the likes of Trey Benton III, Roscoe Jarboe, Joe and Josh Frost, Garrett Tribble, Boudreaux Cambell, Cole Melanson and so many more. I’ve become a big fan over the last couple of year. Great riders on competitive bulls all made in America!
Jeff Bressler presents his Bucking Bull TV Weekly Bucking Bull report each Wednesday on Carbon TV. His Rural Sports Network will be broadcasting bull riding, barrel racing, Cowboy Mounted Shooting, Ax throwing, log rolling and other events of rural interest on the Rural Sports Network channel on Carbon TV. (www.carbontv.com )
Many of the bull riding events can be found during rodeo’s, many broadcast via the internet on the Wrangler Network and ProRodeotv.com also available for replay.
Please email Jeff at jeff@bbtvmedia.com if you have results or new or videos of events you would like shown on Carbon TV.
While on the subject of TV. The rebounding CBR will have their events this season broadcast on the RFD-TV offshoot, the Cowboy Channel. ------------------------------------------------------------------------Good to see two boys return to action. Both had suffered broken backs that didn’t deter them from exhaustive rehab to ride again. Aaron Roy, one of Canada’s all-time best after both the back and other nagging injuries said he’s ready to return to action. Aussie Nathan Burtenshaw has gone full circle. Since his broken back, Nathan has proven he’s still a winner by collecting the buckle at a PBR Velocity Tour event in Virginia a few weeks back.

For the It Really Does Take A Village
By Barbara Pinnella
You have your tickets to attend a PBR event. You arrive, maybe get something to eat and drink, then settle into your seat to enjoy the evening. The arena looks great as always, but just how much thought do you give into WHY it looks the way it does? Don’t feel badly if you have never considered that – you are not alone. Even though they often show a time-lapse video of things magically taking place, it is hard to really comprehend just how much is involved in putting it all together. The process is quite interesting.
Humps N Horns Bull Riding Magazine decided it was time to talk with the man who puts it all together – and takes it all apart – Jim White. We got to spend time with him the day before the Anaheim event started, and he explained just how he got into this business in the first place. “I used to be in Youth Ministry for 20 years and I have an audio background”, he told us. “I got started working in the PBR as an A2 (Audio Second Position). Basically I was a cable puller. As it began to grow and things began to change I just moved up the ladder, and now I am Production Manager for the most elite bull riding in the world, so it’s pretty fun.” White began his 14th year with the PBR in Oklahoma City back in January and has been the Production Manager for about 10 years now. He is anything but bored with his job, although he did admit that sometimes the travel can get a bit tiring. “I love what I do, but there’s a lot to be said about sleeping in your own bed,” he laughed. “People ask where I live and I tell them the Marriot. But Jim White ready for action in performance during the PBR stop in Anaheim. Photo by Andrea Kaus.
Humps-Horns.com · 24 · April 2018
where do I keep my clothes? That would be Joplin, Missouri.” Jim was very quick to point out that it takes not only a lot of people to prepare each different venue, but many, many man hours are necessary as well. Jim broke some of the stats down for us, and it really put things into focus. “We have about 12 full-time people who live on the road. We hire about 35 to 40 local stage hands at every venue that we go to, and we use them for load-in and load-out. We hire local labor companies, whether they are IATSE’s (International Association of Theatrical Stage Employees) or independents, and they help build the truss, build the video, they augment our crew for the load-in and the load-out during the show calls, the show moves, and all that.” Of course, don’t forget the amount of time and money it takes to do all this work so those PBR fans are able to witness a great event. “From when our trucks hit the docks today at 8:00 am, within 36 hours we’ll bring in $44 million in assets to have it ready to go and bucking bulls tomorrow night at 7:00. That is 300 tons of dirt, a million dollars in video, a couple million in steel, television trucks, and ALL of the set-up.
“It’s like an onion,” White continued. “It goes in one way and it comes out in the exact opposite, and that keeps everything moving smooth and efficiently. Within that 36-hour period we do it all with about 1500 man hours. When the show is over on Saturday night, by noon on Sunday you won’t even know we have been in here – except for the flies,” he laughed. That’s right. Remember, with some changes depending on the venue, this is how it goes every week – set up and tear down. A lot of the crew start the end of December, first of January and don’t see home again until Easter, and after that, not until the end of May. Besides Jim and the regular on-the-road workers, there are other things that are constants, and one of those is the company that is in charge of the dirt at all the different venues. “We have a company, Special-T-Tracks that manages all the dirt side of things. They go to every event for our Unleash The Beast 25th Anniversary Tour. Owner Randy Spraggins lines up the plywood at the different venues where we have to be over ice, such as this one here in Anaheim. “Randy also lines up a primary dirt source and a secondary
Humps-Horns.com · 25 · April 2018
dirt source in case the primary doesn’t work, or it’s raining or snowing or we can’t get to it. There are always plan A’s and B’s, so that way if something happens we’re not stuck and can’t do a show – we have everything rolling.” That has never happened, but Jim acknowledged that they have come close. I mentioned New York this year, with the huge storms they were having. He rolled his eyes and groaned. “We were unloading semis in New York in the middle of that blizzard. When it was at its peak we were unloading trucks at Madison Square Garden. At times you couldn’t even see the back of the trucks! But my crew…well, you are only as strong as your weakest link, and I’ve got guys who have been on my road crew for five, six, seven, even eight years, and that says a lot. “We are a close-knit family out here, and I am only as good as the guys I have that are willing to work,” White said with obvious pride in his crew. “My job is to just make sure that they have the tools to do their job.” But while Jim gives his crew full credit to the shows running like a well-oiled machine, he certainly cannot drop the ball, either. While we were speaking a day before the Anaheim event the beginning of February, he had already been working on the Dallas event, which was the end of February, for four weeks, and also on Albuquerque, which was mid-March. “I am constantly advancing shows. I stay five or six shows ahead. Matter of fact, I am already working on the World Finals and things for next year. So the crew worries about the right now and I worry about what’s coming up. That way when we
get there, the right now goes smoothly. “There are too many groups out there in the industry right now that wait until the last minute for everything, and that’s why it looks like a last minute production – because it was. Trust me, I learned that the hard way, and that’s an education I don’t want to repeat. But it makes you who you are.” White does not really get to watch the event that much; as he is on call, as it were. He considers himself a problem-solver. If an issue pops up his guys will first try to solve the problem, but if they can’t they call or radio him and they start troubleshooting. “The first thing I always tell my guys is, ‘Don’t let the problem work you, you work the problem. Slow down, deep breath, slow is smooth, smooth is fast. Get it right the first time.’ They need to take a moment and not panic. These guys are great under pressure! It’s not the situation you like, but we have a neversay-die attitude. “It’s like the proverbial duck on the water. You know how smoothly the duck is gliding across the water, but underneath he is paddling like crazy to keep afloat? That’s what it’s like, and a lot of people don’t see that behind the scenes. I would put my crew up against any rock-and-roll crew in the world – they’re the best!” There is also a creative side to the production, and they dream up all sorts of ideas and then ask if Jim and his crew can turn the ideas into reality. Almost inevitably, the answer is yes. They all work together and then, as White put it, they make the magic happen.
Humps-Horns.com · 26 · April 2018
As one might expect, each venue has its own little quirks. Albuquerque is very tiny, while Texas Stadium is huge. Albuquerque, or The Pit, as it is often called, can only accommodate four bucking chutes, and is only about half a basketball court deep. They can’t fly any lights or audio, so they have to stack the audio on decking. They have to use the house video at the smaller venues because they can’t use their fly video either. It is quite challenging to set up there. In contrast, for Dallas they have to start three days early because of the huge amount of dirt that has to be distributed inside the arena. They need extra steel and audio as well – almost double the gear. And sometimes, as with Anaheim, they have to set up over ice using the plywood. “Yes, the venues all have their challenges, whether they are massive or small,” Jim told us. “Basically our crew is like a hand and each department is a finger, and without one of those fingers your hand doesn’t really work right. If you keep your fingers straight and keep the guys in the right place, everything flows smoothly. The reason this crew is so good, is because they can adapt to the changes.”
“I usually spend a month or two in Australia; a month in the summer and three or four weeks in the fall. I’ve been to Brazil a few times, and worked some of the Canadian events. I’ve been able to travel the world, and my wife travels with me. She loves it, too.” Jim’s wife also attends the bigger events here in the States, as well as certain ones that Jim feels are special or a lot of fun. White summed up his work with the PBR in one short sentence. “I’ve got the greatest job in the world!” And we are all better because of him and his wonderful crew. Thanks to them all for their untiring dedication to bringing us this great sport – The Toughest Sport on Dirt! Photos provided courtesy of PBR.
Jim is not only involved in the events that take place in the States. He has traveled the world during this PBR adventure he is lucky enough to call a job. The PBR allows him to travel and work with PBR Australia, Brazil, Mexico, and Canada.

Buttar By Barbara Pinnella

Up through 2016, PBR fans probably did not know much about Canadian bull rider Dakota Buttar, so let Humps N Horns fill you in a bit. Buttar is no newbie to the world of bull riding. His father Jim rode bulls, although Dakota never got to see him ride. Nevertheless, Jim’s son was bitten by the bull riding bug early. Dakota got on his first steer when he was eight years old. When he was 15 he began riding bulls. His father is still a big inspiration in his bull riding career, as well as Donnie Johansen. “Donnie has helped me a lot, and he still helps me today. He has gone to the Canadian Finals a lot of times, and I think he has won Canada a couple of times. He helps me a lot.” The younger Buttar rode in the pro rodeos in Canada for quite a while and began riding in the upper level tour of PBR Canada a
couple of years ago. But the 25-year-old has already made a name for himself. “I won the Pro Rodeo in Canada twice. That was a pretty big accomplishment. I also rode in high school, and won the Alberta High School Rodeo twice. I haven’t been in the PBR for very long,” he reminded us. “But my favorite ride to date on the BFTS would have to be at the World Finals two years ago, when I rode Hy Test to an 88.25. I got second in that round. My favorite event has to be Nampa, Idaho last year. That was the first event I won on the BFTS tour.” He has other accolades to add to his resume as well. Dakota has won two PBR Canada Touring Pro Division events and was the runner-up at the 2016 PBR Canada Finals in Saskatoon. Last year he won the Glen Keeley Memorial Award. That is reserved for the Canadian bull rider who finishes the season with the most points. Like a lot of Canadians, Buttar also likes to play hockey. “I really enjoy hockey and skating. I haven’t had very much time the last couple of years because I’ve been going to these events. But I love what I do; bull riding and bucking bulls.” Dakota also owns some bucking bulls back home in Canada, and for now that is where they will stay, rather than come to the States. “It is a pretty young group that I have,” he explained. “I haven’t had anything ready to come out here.”
Humps-Horns.com · 31 · April 2018
Buttar has an older sister Cheyenne, who also was involved in rodeo as a barrel racer, but she no longer competes. His girlfriend Caitlyn often travels to events with him, trying to attend one every other weekend when possible. When Caitlyn does not travel with him, Dakota normally takes to the road by himself. He will sometimes find himself on the same plane as bullfighter Jessie Byrne, or sometimes Jessie’s brother, fellow bull rider, Tanner. Buttar lives between the two of them, so he can often find himself with one of the two, depending on which city he flies out of, Saskatoon or Calgary. When we spoke with him, Dakota was pretty healthy. He had a few sore spots, but nothing bad – just what is considered normal in the life of a bull rider. Buttar does like to know a bit about the bulls that he is going to get on. He will watch them, or try to find out a little information about them.
“I do like to find out about them, but you still can’t really go by what they’ve done in the past because every day is a new day. But I like to find out what I can.” Ordinarily a quiet and unassuming man, Dakota was dealt a bad hand while competing in Iron Cowboy at AT&T Stadium in Texas; he had his helmet, mask, mouth guard, and riding glove stolen from behind the chutes. Yes, he was mad. He had ridden with that helmet and mask for 12 years. Even though the person who took his gear was caught on videotape, he was unrecognizable, keeping his head down and hat worn low. He just walked out of the building with Buttar’s things. Dakota is replacing the items that were stolen, but that barely takes the sting out of it. Maybe, just maybe, his gear will be returned to him. But regardless, he will continue to go up and down the road, doing what he loves – riding bulls. The thief can’t take that away from him!

Los Lunas, New Mexico

Hi my name is Brayden Hollywood Brown. I’m a miniature bull rider in the junior division of the MBR. I have the privilege to write about the first MBR, Miniature Bull Riding, event in Los Lunas, New Mexico for the 2018 season. We had a great time riding at the Southwest Event Center. I want to thank Mr. Chaves for being an awesome host. He has an impressive arena. I would also like to thank the Leals for organizing everything. They love us bull riders and help make our dreams come true. Let’s not forget the contractors for hauling the best mini bulls. Mr. Phillip with Avid Visual Imagery Rodeo Photography for all the great pictures. Our safety men, the bull fighters and the pickup men. Special thanks all those who worked hard to make this event possible. The biggest thank you is to the PBR for presenting the MBR and giving us an opportunity to chase our dreams. This was a cool event so let’s get into it.
years old. The riders come from across the country including; Alaska, California, Utah, Oklahoma, Idaho, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Louisiana, and Alabama to name a few. They are the young and tough cowboys and one cowgirl; looking to be the next world champion. There were some new riders and a lot of returning riders. It is really cool that so many riders come from all over to ride for the MBR. It started on a windy cool Friday morning. We all got together for
There were about 44 miniature bull riders divided into three divisions. The three divisions are pee wee, junior, and senior and we range in age from 8-14

the draw and were all a little anxious to see what bulls we would ride. I ended up drawing Flight Plan, a good little bull that jump kicks around the pen. The announcer introduced all of the riders, old and new, to the cheering crowd. The event started slow but then we got some qualified rides. Some of those rides included Canyon Trevino who started one real good named Bandango, Jay Rodrique had some hard luck on Fletcher…. a real tuff bull to get by. Ryker Butler put a show on with the bull King Kong, Tucker Willis showed why he’s the champ easily riding Mayhem, and Brock Poulin got Domino rode. Hagen Braswell defeated Fester, Trevor Herbert broke down Built Ford Tuff, and Lance Lara produced a great ride on Santiago. The round winners of the day were……. Noah Lee on Play Ground Bully in the pee wee division. The gate opened and Play Ground Bully made three jumps and belly rolled Noah. He then jump kicked with big leaping jumps but Noah wasn’t going to be bullied. He kicked off the side of the bull and made his victory lap. Ethan Winckler won on Fletcher for Junior Division. Fletcher left the chute hard switching back and forth with strong bucks and high kicks. Ethan kept his seat on Fletcher and rode him to victory. Braxton Thompson won on Bones for the senior division. Bones is a new bull and Braxton was the first to ride him. Bones put the power to Braxton but he was ready and his prior champion experience paid off. The Leals took one pee wee, two juniors and one senior rider to ride in the PBR at the “Pit” in Albuquerque. Noah Lee from the pee wee division and Braxton Thompson from the senior division got to go. Ethan Winckler and I got to go for the juniors. There was a tie for second place between Ryder Carpenetti and me. We flipped a coin and I won the toss. We had a great time riding in the
PBR representing the MBR. I’ll never forget that night! Sleep…….Sleep……..Sleeeeeeep……..on to day two….. Saturday morning we arrived for the draw. Everybody was excited for the bulls they drew. I drew Fletcher…….the round winner from Friday. I started him around to the left but he put me down early. Najiah Knight impressively rode Belt Buckle, Evan Morrison hung out on Texas Red for a qualified ride, and Hagen Braswell looked good on Bandango. Jase Miller had some hard luck with Texas Red, Ryker Butler impressed us again on Black Bart, and Travis Wimberly got bested by Fester. Noah Lee handled Hercules, Orion Grimes made a full ride on Half Rack, and John Crimber got it done on Clint Eastwood. Brady Turgeon had some hard luck with Bandango; Bones put Cutter Kalyor down early, Trevor Herbert knocked down Domino. The round winners of day two were……. Parker Crenshaw on Kickapoo in the Peewee division. Kickapoo is another new bull and he bucks really good. He belly rolls and kicks real nice. Parker muscled his way through Kickapoo and punched his ticket to the “Pit”. Ethan Winckler won on Doc in the junior division. Doc is one rank bull and meaner than an acre of rattlesnakes. Ethan put on a clinic as Doc spun and tried to throw him. Doc was defeated and Ethan earned his way to the “Pit”. Lance Lara won on King Kong for the senior division. King Kong started good but Lance’s money-chops sent King Kong into a spinning tornado. Lance conquered King Kong for his chance in the “Pit”. Tucker Willis took second on GTO so he was the second junior invited to the “Pit”. Two great days of bull riding came to a close and the average winners were announced. Noah Lee won the average in the pee wee division. Ethan Winckler won the junior division and Lance

Lara won the senior division. We gathered after the event for the awards. This is an exciting time but also a sad time because we have to say goodbye to all our friends until we meet again. We also say goodbye to the Leals and our friendly competition… the bulls. The MBR is a great organization that gives bull riders like me a great opportunity to go and ride in places I only dreamed about.
We are all looking forward to another great year with the MBR and the PBR. This was a great kickoff to the year for the 2018 season. To learn more about me or MBR go to my Facebook page @Brayden”Hollywood”Brown. Thank you, Brayden “Hollywood” Brown
