Letter from the Editor
Happy Birthday, America! I am thankful that we are able to celebrate our nation’s Independence on July 4. I am proud to be an American and am grateful for the freedom and opportunities that we have in this country. I will be the first to admit that our country isn’t perfect, as no place on earth will ever be, but I still believe that we are the place that so many aspire to be. I would like to apologize for the delay in the mailing of the June issue. We have been pretty fortunate, so far, from all of the supply chain issues that affected much of the nation. However, our printer had some challenges getting supplies for their printing presses so we were delayed an extra couple of weeks. We hope you enjoy reading the July issue of Humps N Horns. Until next time, Terry

Talking “Bull” with Brayden
Hi my name is Brayden Hollywood Brown and I’m a Junior bull rider. The PBR has put together a team series event similar to other professional league sports with a draft and a preseason. This could be a historical event for all of the rodeo world. This format has never been used in the rodeo world. Today I’m giving my opinion on how I think each team will place in the PBR Team Series and who I think are the top five riders on each team. So let’s get into it! To keep it short I will jump right in to telling you a few of the riders on each team. Starting off with the Arizona Ridge Riders we have Luciano De Castro, Mauricio Moreira, Eduardo Aparedico, Chase Dougherty, and Marco Eguchi. This is a good team but in comparing the teams this team has less chemistry between the riders and the riders are not as explosive. I definitely see this team being successful but I don’t see this team winning. Next up we have the Austin Gamblers; their top five riders are Jose Vitor Leme, Austin Richardson, Lucas Divino, Claudio Montanha Jr, and Conner Halverson. Jose is arguably the best bull rider in the world right now and Austin Richardson is an upcoming super star. There are other notable riders on this team that are somewhat consistent. Leme has helped Team Brazil win in the PBR global cup multiple times so he definitely has some leadership skills to help out in the team format. I definitely think this team has the potential to be a competitor but we’ll just have to let it all unfold.
has a solid season every year with little consistency. Jess took off almost the entire last season and when he was riding there wasn’t any consistency. Outlaw is also coming off of an injury riddled season and has a lot to prove. Caden is another one of those up and coming rookies that has a ton of potential. This is going to be his chance to prove that he can compete with the best in the world. This team has an amazing leader, a couple vets that have a lot to prove, and a rookie trying to make a name for himself. This team definitely has the most to prove and I can’t wait to watch these guys. The Nashville Stampede with Kaique Pacheco, Dener Barbosa, Manoelito De Souza Junior, Joao Henrique Lucas, and coming out of retirement just to ride in this team series is Ryan Dirteater. Kaique is debatably the most consistent rider in the PBR right now, not to mention he’s a good leader. Dener had a good year last year and I’m excited to see what he can accomplish in this format. Manoelito and Joao Lucas have been riding with the PBR for a few years now. Last year we saw their names on the leaderboard a few times. I’m hoping to see them find that next level in this format. Ryan was drafted in the third round even though he is not a young man anymore and has been sitting out. They took him over some pretty rank cats and I think that says a lot about him. I don’t know if anyone else expected Ryan to be drafted that early. I know I was surprised, but I like the confidence this team has in Ryan especially after he took an entire year off. Good luck Ryan! Team Missouri Thunder had the boldest first round pick in my opinion, Colten Fritzlan. The rest of this team consists of Clayton
Continued on Page 19
Now we have the Texas Rattlers with Cody Jesus, Joao Ricardo Vieira, Brady Oleson, JC Mortenson, and Travis Wimberly. Now this is where things start heating up in my opinion. Joao has wisdom, experience, and constancy. Cody brings his explosive rides and high scores to the table. Brady Oleson, JC Mortenson, and Travis Wimberly are all rising stars who can make some monster rides and are pretty consistent. This will be one of the best teams at the end of the year if everyone can stay healthy. Moving on to the Oklahoma Freedom we have Eli Vastbinder, Derek Kolbaba, Jess Lockwood, Chase Outlaw, and Caden Bunch. Out of all these riders, Eli participated in more events in the 2021 - 2022 season. He had an amazing year in 2021 winning Rookie of the Year and stayed pretty consistent in the 2022. Derek

Your Kid’s Future Parents must be Educated as to what is best for Jr Bull Riders.... I see dads all the time put their kids on bulls way over the kids heads. They either don’t know or are living their fantasy through a little kid with some true talent who won’t make it in his riding past sophomore year of High School from injury or burnout. A lot of times they end up hating dad because they think they let him down when in reality it’s the other way around. While a lot of other dads are allowing and/or pushing their boys to get on the born to buck type bulls at 13 and 14, I’m giving mine a chance develop into a bull rider someday. Success breeds success. It’s difficult to put the right bulls together to help future bull riders learn to do it right. A 14-15 year old kid that can really ride and win at open rodeos or bull ridings is not the normal. I say cater to the ones that can’t because they need a chance to develop and the ones that can ride will win until the others mature and become real bull riders. They are little kids with big dreams and don’t have enough experience to know what is right. I’m a parent who rode bulls all my life and that is what makes me feel like an expert in the matter. We’ve all gotta preach it to the ones who can make a difference. The calf roper dads will string up a contractor who brings calves that eat the kids lunch and the contractors know it but bull riders are just supposed to cowboy up. Bull crap. They are little kids, not bull riders until they are about 18 or 19. Cody Custer This is a 5 event series to Qualify for the 2022 IMBA - The World’s Premier Youth Bull Riding Assn.

Outside the Arena with...
Andrew Giangola By Georgia Akers I first met Andrew Giangola when I interviewed Shawn Gleason. He was the go-to guy who got the interview done for me. Shawn is elusive when it comes to getting an interview and especially with all the changes that were happening with the Finals in Fort Worth and the new PBR Team Series. I am a book person. I like paper not staring at a screen. A nice drink, a book and a cozy chair and I am a happy camper. He mentioned he was writing a book on the sport and my ears perked up. I can tell you there are a few movies on bull riding and only a few books. The book is out. It is called Love and Try. I think the title alone sums up our sport. Joe Favorito has written an excellent review of the book and rather than duplicate, with his permission, I have let his review finish the questions in this column. And the best thing of this effort is that Andrew is donating the proceeds to the Western Sports Foundation which is the only nonprofit that assists western sports athletes in so many areas. This is definitely a book to purchase for a good cause and to read. Well, because you love the sport.
Tell us about yourself. I grew up the son of a Chevy salesman and stay-at-home mom on the south shore of Long Island about 30 miles from Manhattan, the middle child of three boys. As a kid, I loved and played sports and

was always reading books. Not just sports books (and devouring the weekly long-form features in Sports Illustrated) but anything from The Andromeda Strain and Catch-22 to All the President’s Men and Helter Skelter (then and now I am a Beatles freak). Not surprisingly, my favorite Beatles song was “Paperback Writer,” and that’s what I wanted to be. I attended Fordham University, concentrating in journalism, and then became a staff writer for trade magazines in radio and food retailing. I had no intention to “go to the dark side” into PR — as a young, puffy-chested writer I tried to avoid the gate keepers. But through radio contacts, I wound up at Pepsi-Cola as a green PR manager at the height of the cola wars, joining a fast-moving, exciting place to cut one’s teeth in PR. There was a relentless push to create buzz, and I found an immediate home, fortunate to work on buzz-worthy projects like promoting the award-winning Ray Charles “Uh-huh!” campaign and promoting celebrity endorsers Shaquille O’Neil and MC Hammer. When syringes started turning up in cans of Pepsi, triggering a nationwide product tampering crisis, as national spokesperson my quotes appeared in places like the front page of The New York Times. Pepsi’s response, led by incredibly savvy management, was heralded as textbook. I’d be recruited by Simon & Schuster, then the world’s largest English language book publisher, seeking crisis assistance following a highly controversial book called American Psycho. Howard Stern’s Private Parts was about to publish; stuff was gonna hit the fan. I had thrived at Pepsi, but how could an aspiring paperback writer say no to a big city publishing job? Five years later when the publishing conglomerate was broken up, I reunited with my PR mentor Ken Ross, a talented former Pepsi executive, at Accenture, the global consulting firm embarking on an aggressive branding program. From there I was recruited by the management consulting leader, McKinsey & Co., to oversee global media relations.
Humps-Horns.com · 9 · July 2022
McKinsey was a fascinating place. I was always the dumbest person in the room (I know, you could say that when I walk into any Burger King). When in 2003 an opportunity opened up at NASCAR, to handle off-the-sports pages PR, I jumped at it. NASCAR felt like a Pepsi — make stuff happen, create news, if it falls flat, dust yourself off and do it again. I was a New Yorker going to places like Talladega, Alabama and would write about it in the NASCAR book The Weekend Starts on Wednesday, published in 2010. How did you come to the PBR? George Pyne, the COO of NASCAR, who had been hired in 2003, left the organization to create new businesses for IMG. One was a college sports marketing platform. With IMG College launching, George, who is one of the smartest, most visionary sports execs on the planet, brought me over to IMG in 2011. The global talent, entertainment and media agency Endeavor (then WME) would acquire IMG and then PBR. I was very fortunate to be asked to lead Public Relations for the bull riding organization now part of one of the most unique and dynamic cultural-connector organizations in the world. What made this job different from other jobs you had in the communications world? It’s always been a combination of “protect and promote.” While the balance of reputation work versus pure promotion fluctuates by organization, what’s different today is the rise of social media to communicate directly with consumers (or fans, in the case of PBR). Additionally, with PBR, the animal element is new to me. (We do have rats in NYC, but they’re elusive.) There are many misperceptions about the treatment of the extraordinary animal athletes in PBR, and we’re continually telling the story of the great care they get. What do you see for you in the future? Lunch. I’m starving. Seriously, this is heresy, but I’ve not been a huge planner regarding my professional future. I was never plotting the next move. I take it day to day, week to week. Whenever young people ask my advice, I inevitably wind up with: Kick butt every day, over deliver on everything you’re asked to do, be curious, be courteous, and opportunities will come. That said, I’m completely pumped about continuing to be part of the launch and growth of the PBR Team Series – a truly revolutionary opportunity for everyone involved in this great sport. “Love & Try” Vividly Captures the Heart and Soul of PBR By Joe Favorito Sports books written by league executives can be interesting and illuminating but also risk being safe, watered down, and predictable.
The executive who oversees PR for PBR (Professional Bull Riders), Andrew Giangola, has just released a new book that bucks the inherent challenges of sanitized prose, offering a vivid, often surprising insider’s take on the sport he helps promote. Love & Try: Stories of Gratitude and Grit from Professional Bull Riding is an entertaining and at times poetic dive into a 29-yearold sport now expanding from strictly individual competition to add a new bull riding team league taking place July to November. The book, which is available on PBRShop.com and Amazon.com – with author proceeds going to the Western Sports Foundation – is as much about “Western values” as the beautiful yet brutal sport of bull riding. PBR is a traveling circus of sorts, and Giangola takes us on a fast-moving trip with a colorful cast of characters, portrayed as a pioneering family who were first to face down the daunting challenge of successfully holding live events when we’re supposed to be avoiding crowds. Here’s more about a book that will bring PBR to new audiences while helping bull riders in need. Why did you write this book? I’m a New Yorker who rides a subway instead of a horse. I’m the least qualified person to write about bull riding, but maybe a good choice for casting fresh eyes on a very colorful and, to many, unfamiliar scene. In my PR role with PBR, I found myself surrounded by horned cattle and guys named Cody and Chase, taking it all in, wide eyed and curious, filling notebooks with cowboy quotes and wild anecdotes. Since I began serving the sport in 2015 after Endeavor acquired PBR, I’ve been the proverbial kid in the candy store, itching to figure out a bull riding book. There are so many worthy characters in the sport – hard-working, plain-spoken men and women with a refreshing, gritty, can-do attitude that’s driving the popularity of shows like “Yellowstone.” And in the background is constant, palpable danger. These

courageous people deserve a moment in the sun. A book can also be part of the repertoire of any PR professional in the influence business. In our jobs of promoting and protecting brands, sometimes we’re fighting disinformation and correcting false narratives. For PBR, that’s the false allegation that the bulls are mistreated. Nothing could be further from the truth, and those falsehoods are corrected. The bulls are magnificent athletes bred to buck; they’re the true rockstars of the sport. How do you “correct falsehoods” without sounding defensive? Through telling the stories of the men and women who raise and care for their beloved animal athletes. Once I had an assortment of stories across the sport, it was clear that the bulls and their handlers were the place to start, which is why Tiffany and Jerome Davis are up front. Consider their love affair: 22-year-old Tiffany is in the hospital waiting for word on her just-paralyzed bull rider fiancé. An insensitive, condescending doctor says she would be leaving Jerome because that’s what all the girlfriends do in her situation. And here they are decades later, raising bulls they treat like their children to compete in a sport that’s grown leaps and bounds since Jerome was hurt. They’re the heart and soul of Love & Try. Is that love for the bulls what you mean by “Love & Try”? It is central to that, along with the love and passion the people working in the sport have for what they do. “Try” is something I heard in the first athlete interview I sat in on, which happened to be with two-time World Champion J. B. Mauney. When J. B. is the initial bull rider you work with, it’s like meeting your first painter, who happens to be Rembrandt. Asked to explain his profession, J.B. Mauney said, “You hold onto that bull rope until your head hits the ground. This sport is nothing but try.” I started hearing others talk about “try” in different ways. Mauney
says in his Foreword that try is the ingredient for success in anything in life. He’s right. (Ask any marriage counselor.) It feels like Mauney is a foil popping up with blunt, straight-tothe-gut, funny commentary throughout. Investigative journalist Mariana van Zeller was covering head injuries for a Fusion documentary, and she spent a lot of time with J.B. She would say that of all the famous, world champion athletes she’s interviewed, including the biggest stars in soccer, boxing, and Formula 1, no one is as charismatic and intriguing as J.B. Mauney. He is absolutely fearless. The man completely lives on his terms. And he has a way of cutting right to the core. The first time I worked in a J.B. witticism, it felt like we had a good thing going. Why stop? As Mauney says in the Foreword, this book will help bull riders? Yes. Author and PBR proceeds will be donated to the Western Sports Foundation to help pay the medical bills of injured riders. Why did you decide to do that? I sit behind a keyboard and occasionally battle a hang nail. These guys put everything on the line every time they nod their heads in the bucking chute. Western Sports Foundation is a great organization helping riders who get hurt. Towards the middle of the book, you tell the story of how PBR led the sports world back to competition following the COVID-19 shut down. Why is that important? During the height of the pandemic, PBR was the proverbial canary in the coal mine. Charting a course to keep the business going during a scary time of complete uncertainty, could have been a book in itself. It was a quintessential example of love and try…and fitting that a group of cowboys — the rugged, self-reliant people who overcame challenges to settle the West — were the ones who figured out a way to get back to business during this invisible scourge. I’ve been very fortunate to serve accomplished brands and executives over the years. I can’t imagine ever being prouder than in playing a small part in showing a way to live with danger responsibly during a global pandemic. Does telling that story risk producing as a “corporate” read like an extended press release? It’s only one of a few dozen stories, but clearly, I’m a cheerleader for bull riding and western

MY COWBOY HAT STILL FITS By Abe Morris
Royd Doyal Royd Doyal was born in Canyon, Texas in March 1972. He grew up in the east Texas town of Pittsburg. It was a no doubter that he would eventually become interested in rodeo and bull riding. His father Robert Larry “Red” Doyal had qualified for the NFR in the bull riding in 1968. Red had at times traveled with 1968 World Champion George Paul and personally witnessed a large majority of George Paul’s record streak of 79 consecutive rides in a row. George Paul and Larry Mahan were both in Red Doyal’s wedding. In fact, George Paul was his best man. It was sometime between the eighth and ninth grades that Royd started to compete in youth rodeos. This continued all through high school. Royd competed in both the bareback riding and bull riding events. Most of the rodeos were sanctioned by the Four States High School Rodeo Association. After graduating from high school, Doyal enrolled at the Northeast Texas Community College in Mount Pleasant, Texas which also happens to be the home base for Priefert® rodeo panels. He finished second in the college region for three consecutive years and qualified for the College National Finals Rodeo all three times. The two times that he competed at the CNFR, he ended up as the NIRA Reserve National Champion Bull Rider. Royd actually only stayed in school for 2 1/2 years. He quit school so he could hit the professional rodeo trail full time. Ironically, later on Royd found out that although he only attended college for half a year, he still finished second in the region after only competing in four college rodeos. Doyal filled his PRCA permit in 1993 and was the Reserve PRCA Rookie of the Year in 1994. His maiden voyage to the Wrangler National Finals Rodeos was in 1995. He would duplicate that same feat again in 1996 and 1999. During the initial phases of his PRCA campaign, Royd traveled with some very talented bull riders such as Keith Adams, Troy Dunn, Brian Herman and Coy Allen. Doyal and his wife, Tracie - 2021 Texas Rodeo Cowboy Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony.
In 1994, Royd competed in a PBR Bud Light Cup event which served as a qualifier to the George Paul Memorial in Del Rio, Texas. There were only supposed to take a total of 50 bull riders to compete at the Del Rio event but because of some splits he ended up making the cut with back number 53. That didn’t deter Royd at all as he ended up being the last man standing and eventually won the entire event. He ended up winning and wearing a very prestigious Award Design Medals trophy buckle and took home a $14,000 check as well. In the Fall of that same year, Mack Altizer decided to throw in a Fall Classic in October and many of the same bull riders met again in Del Rio for another Showdown Classic. It was invitation only with no entry fees. Royd won that as well and was able to deposit another $10,000 into his bank account. One of the most memorable rides of his career occurred at the 1996 WNFR in the 10th go round when Royd successfully rode Red Wolf for 94 points to win the round. Red Wolf aka Dodge Ram Tough was owned by Growney Brothers and voted the 1996 PRCA Bucking Bull of the Year. Another standout ride was worth 89 points and first place on #231 Wild Thing owned by Mack Altizer in 1996 at the WNFR 8th go round. Stock contractor Mack Altizer had hand picked his top 12 bucking bulls and designated them as “The Dirty Dozen”. These included notable bucking bulls Cadillac, Wild Thing, Superstition, The Jam and Bad Moon. Royd Doyal reflected that one of his proudest accomplishments was being the only person to successfully ride all 12 bulls. Rodeo photographer David Jennings had the photos of Royd Doyal on 11 of those bulls. Royd wanted to do a poster or a T-shirt of a carton of eggs with the caption that he had cracked all 12 bulls. Photographer Dudley Barker was the owner of the other photo. But due to a few logistics, the idea never came to fruition. In 1995, Royd Doyal successfully rode the infamous Wolfman. He was scored 90 points to win first place at Red Bluff, California. Don Kish officially retired the bull in 1998 at the PRCA rodeo in St. Paul, Oregon. Royd became the last bull rider to ever get on and ride Wolfman in 1998. He was scored 82 points at a PBR event in Sacramento, California which actually was three months after the bull had been officially retired. Royd Doyal had kind of gravitated towards the bright green chaps because when he first started competing, he wore his father Red’s green chaps. They had white four leaf clovers on them. Although Don Gay and Wacey Cathey had also worn green chaps, Royd said that really didn’t play a part in his color of choice. But he did like the fact that their chaps had a money ($) sign on them. So Royd made sure that his bright green chaps had a four leaf clover, a dollar ($) sign and a cross on them.
Humps-Horns.com · 12 · July 2022
Royd, at one time, thought that the Pendleton Roundup Rodeo might have an arena jinx on the Doyal family. His father Red had been very seriously injured there in 1966 when a Harry Vold bull slipped in the muddy arena, jerked him down and wacked Red extremely hard in the face. That injury put Red Doyal out of commission for about three to four months. The first time that Royd competed in Pendleton was in 1995 and he also was jerked down and hit in the face. All skepticism was put to rest in 1999 though. During his ride Royd was again jerked down and popped in the chin but was able to sit back up to win the short go round as well as first place in the Pendleton bull riding event. That same day he was traveling with Cody Custer, rodeo announcer Justin McKee, Pete Hessman and Roy Cooper. They had chartered a small plane, flew out of Pendleton and dropped off Cooper at a PRCA rodeo in St. George, Utah. The plane had a malfunction and was able to take off but couldn’t land. So they had to wait for it to get repaired. As a result, they finally made it to Laughlin and flew right over the rodeo arena during the intermission. They had to turn out at that PBR event and only missed their bulls by about 10 minutes. In December of 1999, Doyal broke his neck bucking off of Hammer Time of Mack Altizer’s in the 6th go round at the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo. He was already having a pretty decent WNFR and had won over $30,000. Personally, Royd felt like every year that he was really rolling by the 6th go round. The surgeons fused his C5 & C6 vertebrae and he was in traction and had to wear a neck brace for a period of time. As a result of the injury he was forced to sit on the sideline injured reserve list for over a year before cracking back out again. Royd Doyal qualified and competed at the PBR Finals on five different occasions. As the years went by, the minor injuries just seemed to occur on a regular basis and he just couldn’t seem to stay healthy for an entire season. He tore his groin in 2002 at the Cheyenne Frontier Days Rodeo. He had also previously dealt with injuries to both knees and his shoulder. During his sideline hiatus, he called Cody Custer and Three generations of Doyal men. transitioned into judging a few L to R - Rance, Red, Royd. PBR events. The first event that he judged was in Grand Rapids, Michigan in 2000. Doyal really enjoyed judging and thought it was would be something to occupy his time on a regular basis after retirement. Royd Doyal’s last hurrah occurred when he suffered a broken leg at an open rodeo in Post, Texas in 2005. It was then that he decided that it was definitely time to permanently step away from the sport.

By this time the Doyal family was living in Sayer, Oklahoma which Created with Scanner Pro also happens to be the home office of the ABBI that was started by famed rodeo announcer and legendary icon Bob Tallman. The ABBI Finals are held in conjunction with the PBR World Finals each year. It’s the place for all of the bull riding stock contractors to test their mettle against the up and coming future four legged and five star rodeo athletes. Since its inception there has been 16 Finals events and Royd Doyal has been a judge at 15 of them. Royd was a judge during two of the most historic rides in PBR history. He was one of the judges when Jose Vitor Leme scored 98.75 on PBR Bucking Bull of the Year WooPaa at the World Finals in Las Vegas, Nevada in November 2021 and again when Leme scored 97.75 on the same bull in Tulsa, Oklahoma in July 2021. He was also a judge when Leme made a great ride on Jive Turkey during the 5th go round of the PBR World Finals. Nowadays, Royd and his wife Tracie make their home in Kenefic, Oklahoma. His daughter Cierra is 24 years old and married and his son Rance is 21. Rance competed in the Prairie Circuit of the PRCA and was an accomplished steer rider and team roper. Rance also recently attended a PBR judging seminar and is sure to follow in his father Royd’s footsteps judging bull riding events in the future. Royd Doyal summed up his professional rodeo career by saying, “It has opened up the door to building the next generation of rodeo athletes. I’m just proud to have played a small role in the success and growth of the bull riding industry and world nowadays.”

Inspiration Point
and choose to love like Jesus did for us. We are humble enough to admit that we too are in need of forgiveness and we need to extend it to others.
by Keno Shrum
Forgiveness That Sets You Free The truth is that we are all sinners. There are going to be moments when we get on each others nerves, say things that we shouldn’t, and react in ways that are not Christ-like. When this verse talks about bearing with each other, this means that we have great patience for those around us. We give grace and endure through hardships. Part of hardships included having moments where we need to forgive or ask for forgiveness. Bearing is not a small task, it is a word that implies grueling difficulty. Ephesians 4:2 says, “Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.” The Holy Spirit empowers us to live by the fruit of the Spirit. This helps us to bear with one another in love. This is not our own love, but with Christ’s love.
As Christians, forgiveness is a foundation of our faith. We forgive because Christ forgave us. When we ponder the many times we have let God down and have been in need of constant forgiveness, we are much more likely to be more ready to forgive. Maybe you have someone who you need to forgive? Whatever grievance that you have, do not forget to forgive like the Lord forgave you. When we think about how God forgave us, He did not only forgive partially, He forgave fully and completely. We do not have the right to pick and choose when we want to forgive and when we do not. The truth is that we are called as believers to a higher standard. We are called to forgive with the power of God in us to forgive fully and completely. Again, this is not excusing sin or diminishing its pain in your life, but it is honoring God, freeing yourself, and witnessing His love to the offender. Are you holding on to any bitterness or struggling to forgive? Take time to pray and ask God to help you release this and pray for this person. If you would like to know more about God’s Word then come and let us reason together the ways of our Lord. In His Love, Keno
Forgive one another is not just a suggestion, it is a command from the Lord. This is not an easy endeavor. We can only do this by the help of the Holy Spirit. I once was asked, “What is forgiveness?” Forgiveness is not acting like everything is ok, letting someone walk all over you, or enabling abuse. Forgiveness is not holding the sin of another against them, but releasing their action to the Lord who is the Judge and entrusting Him with the situation. It is not ignoring that there is hurt or pain that needs healing, but it is being willing to release the encounter to God and walk forward with Him. This concept of forgiveness can only truly be found in Jesus. Everyone has been wronged, but the fact is that we have all wronged others. Jesus gives the most pure version of forgiveness because He was sinned against, but never sinned against anyone Himself. If anyone had the “right” to hold a grudge it would be Jesus, however He chose forgiveness in His perfection. His abundant love poured out on us so that we would be reconciled to God. The gospel is all about reconciliation for our sins. Forgiveness is a core theme. When we struggle to free someone else from our hearts and minds with bitterness, it eats us up and does no good. Forgiveness is following the life of Christ, releasing our desire to be in control, and living free of the bondage of unforgiveness. This does not mean that we accept sin, this does not mean that we say that what another person did was ok, this does not mean that we do not set boundaries with unhealthy or harmful people. This does however mean that we move forward, we release unforgiveness

Nothin’ But Try Ranch and we raise everything we have.”
Erick, Oklahoma is a small town in Beckham County and is situated in western Oklahoma, just six miles east of the Texas-Oklahoma border. This community developed along the Choctaw, Oklahoma, and Gulf Railroad line, which later became the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railway. Erick was established in 1901, and is named after Beeks Erick, the townsite developer. Erick is the home of the Nothin’ But Try Ranch and Event Center. Owners Chad and Jenny Drury, and their 12-year-old daughter Addi, house, raise and train over 100 bucking bulls, from yearlings to five-year-olds, on this 300acre ranch. “We raise bucking bulls, and haul bulls to PBR and other bucking bull events,” Chad explained. “We have a covered arena to host events,
They recently added a complete covered arena. On June 1, they held a PBR/ABBI event of the brand-new Challenger Series. The Challenger Series was launched in May of 2022 and is a competition series consisting of more than 60 events in 27 states across the United States. The Challenger Series will run in conjunction with the new PBR Team Series. When announcing the Challenger Series back in March of 2022, the PBR said, “The PBR Challenger Series will serve as a proving ground in providing additional competitive opportunities for bull riders who are both affiliated and unaffiliated with a PBR Team Series team.” Chad, Jenny, and Addi Drury.

Addi Drury with her bull, Hard Labor.
“We are real excited about the new PBR Team Series and the new PBR Challenger Series,” Chad offered. “It’s going to create opportunities for bull riders and stock contractors alike, and I think it will be a huge success. We have six of the Challenger events scheduled here at Nothin’ but Try Ranch. The next one is June 15. Coach Ross Coleman brought some of his Missouri Thunder team to our June 1 event. It was really fun watching him work with those guys as they develop into a team. One of his riders, Leandro Machado, rode our 1805 Big Kiwi for 85.5 points, and ended up winning the event.” “For the remaining Challenger events, Nothin’ But Try will provide the short round bulls and extra bulls,” Chad continued. “Various other stock contractors will be providing bulls for the events.” Chad grew up rodeoing in South Dakota. He got a rodeo scholarship to Southwestern Oklahoma State University in Weatherford, Oklahoma, and finished third in the bull riding of the College National Finals. He then went on to ride in the PRCA. “Bucking bulls is in your blood,” Chad explained, when I asked him how he transitioned from riding bulls to stock contracting. “Most guys that raise bulls now are former bull riders.” Nothin’ But Try Ranch is truly a family deal. The ranch was named in honor of Chad’s brother, Shane. “My little brother Shane was an NFR qualifier in 2000. He passed away in 2006 from cancer. He always had ‘nothin’ but try’ in and out of the arena.” The Nothin’ But Try brand is a big S and a small c…Sc. “Sc stands for Shane and Chad,” Chad revealed. “When Shane was alive, we were trying to come up with a brand together. I told him if I became half the man he is, I’d be in good shape. That’s why the ‘c’ is half the size of the ‘S’.” I asked Chad if he has a favorite bull. He didn’t hesitate as he told me it was 1814 Hard Labor, the bull owned by his daughter Addi. Hard Labor was one of two bulls that the Drurys hauled to the PBR World Finals in Fort Worth last May. The other bull was 1805 Big Kiwi, who was a designated re-ride bull but did not get to buck.
“Hard Labor was a bottle-fed calf, and he is Addi’s pet,” Chad shared. “She has raised him from a calf, and he lets her pet him and scratch him. There is always a fence between Hard Labor and Addi, because Hard Labor hooked me when he was a twoyear-old. But he lets Addi walk up to him and start petting or scratching him. She talks to him and loves on him. She spends more time with that bull than she does with her friends!” “She got the surprise of her life and a dream come true when she was able to flank Hard Labor at the PBR Finals in Fort Worth on Friday, May 13. PBR CEO Sean Gleason and PBR Director of Livestock Cody Lambert gave the okay.” She flanked Hard Labor as Rafael Henrique dos Santos settled on his back in the chute. When the gate opened, Hard Labor dumped dos Santos in just 2.90 seconds, for a bull score of 44. Afterward, Addi was being interviewed on TV and was in tears.
Humps-Horns.com · 17 · July 2022
“Those were tears of joy, gratitude, pride, and love for her bull! Seeing Addi flank that bull at the Finals was very rewarding, and the joy and gratitude she experienced is why we do what we do,” Chad declared. “Addi wants to be a vet. She quit gymnastics to rodeo with Hard Labor. She travels with me when I haul Hard Labor and helps feed and care for him. She was the 2021 ABBI Junior Futurity World Champion with a bull named Smooth Whiskey.” Keep your eyes on Chad, Jenny and Addi Drury and Nothin’ But Try Ranch and Event Center as they navigate through the busy and exciting future laid out before them. “When you see your kids sharing your passion,” Chad concluded, “It is such a blessing! When you have a child that has the same passion that you do, you are so proud to support that passion.” Photos provided courtesy of Nothin’ But Try Ranch.

values. At the same time, nobody wants to read fluff. I tried to balance home-team boosterism with honestly looking at different parts of the sport, including serious, sometimes catastrophic injuries inevitable when a 150-pound cowboy gets on the back of an 1,800-pound bull bred to buck with nothing but a bull rope in his hand. There’s a chapter on PBR’s doctor. We go through a terrible tragedy at a rider’s funeral. What do you hope to accomplish with Love & Try? A lot of people come to a bull riding believing it’s not for them, but they’ll check it out. And they wind up loving it and becoming fans. How great if a book from the perspective of an awed newcomer to the culture can bring people to a new place they’d never even considered. Hopefully, we can educate those interested in learning about bull riding, put smiles on faces, bring new fans into the tent, and raise money for injured bull riders.
Addi Drury and Hard Labor.

Sellars, Cody Teel, Andrew Alvidrez, and Jesse Petri. Colten barely competed in the PBR last season, so you can understand my surprise. Maybe the captain of the team has watched him ride and has seen his potential. Kind of makes me excited to see him show up and bring his “A” game to every event. In the second round they took Clayton who was also out for a good bit last season. Cody is the most experienced rider on this team. With all of his experience, I expect he will be a leader for this team. Andrew has been in the PBR a couple years and I don’t think he’s reached his full potential. Jesse didn’t really ride in the PBR last season but in the season before that he was in the running for the Rookie of the Year title. That definitely shows he has the talent. I think this will either be one of the top teams or it will be a complete bust, hopefully they pull together. The Kansas City Outlaws have Dalton Kasel, Kyler Oliver, Rafael Henrique Dos Santos, Bob Mitchell, and Cole Melancon. Dalton just came off of an amazing year and an amazing finals. He is one of the most explosive riders in the PBR and those big scores will always come in clutch. Kyler Oliver had a great season. He had a chance at the title but was not able to finish finals after breaking his neck. I imagine that he will come back with more drive than ever. Rafael isn’t very consistent but he can be very explosive at times. Bob is coming off winning Rookie of the Year in the 2022 PBR. He finished right outside the top twenty in the world, not bad at all for your rookie year. Cole has had so many injuries it was not even funny but I’m hoping his return proves that he still has it.
Last but not least my personal favorite team the Carolina cowboys you have Daylon Swearingen, Mason Taylor, Boudreaux Campbell, Cannon Cravens, and Cooper Davis. If you know anything about the PBR you should know that this is the most stacked team and most capable of winning. Daylon just won his first world title. Mason can be inconsistent at times but when he’s on he’s on. You can’t buck this guy off when he doesn’t think too hard about it. Boudreaux just had his worst year yet in the PBR but he has proven he can ride rank. If you put a rank bull into his hand under him chances are you won’t be able to buck him off. Cannon is Mason’s cousin so there is beyond amazing chemistry between these two guys. Let’s not forget that Cannon has been killing it as of late as well. Cooper Davis aka Captain America led team USA Eagles to the very first ever global cup win not to mention he is the 2016 PBR World Champ. If all of that wasn’t enough, these guys often travel together. Let’s put it all together, you’ve got the leadership, experience, explosiveness, and consistency. If all of that doesn’t scream WINNER to you then I’m not sure what else will. My prediction from first to last is Carolina Cowboys, Texas Rattlers, Austin Gamblers, Kansas City Outlaws, Nashville Stampede, Arizona Ridge Riders, Missouri Thunder, and Oklahoma Freedom. I’m excited to see how this series plays out. Let me know your predictions. Find me on any social media @braydenhollywoodbrown. Thank you for reading, Brayden Hollywood Brown

The official Red Bluff Round Up Association was founded in Tehama County in 1921 after rodeos were held on local ranches between 1918 to 1920. The first rodeo in Tehama County was held on the Clough Ranch in Los Molinos, in the spring after the roundup of their herds. People traveled many miles to watch cowboys’ rope, bulldog and ride broncs.
Over the years, the Red Bluff Round Up has brought in the greatest names in the sport including bull rider Jim Sharp, saddle bronc and bareback rider Casey Tibbs, bull rider Lane Frost, steer wrestler Luke Branquinho, tie down roper and team roping heeler Clay O’Brian Cooper, as well as team roping header Jake Barnes and barrel racer Nellie Williams.
Following the first rodeo in 1918, in 1919 cattle ranchers Jess Bennett and Ivy Bell held an informal bronc riding and roping in Vina, California which in 1920 became known as the Vina Festival. In 1926, the rodeo was moved to April, replacing the rodeo in Vina, and changing locations to the Tehama District Fair Grounds. In 1996, the Red Bluff Round Up went from being “America’s Biggest Two-Day Rodeo”, to a three-day rodeo.
In 1988 the Red Bluff Round Up gained notoriety for taking part in the Challenge of Champions in which Lane Frost was matched with the famous Growney Brothers Rodeo Company bull Red Rock who remained unridden for 309 outs. Two seconds into the ride at Red Bluff, Lane would get bucked off Red Rock. Score: Lane - 0 Red Rock – 1. During the Challenge of Champions, which was held at seven different rodeos, Lane Frost would best the famous bull Red Rock four of seven times. Currently the Red Bluff Round Up Association and Red Bluff Rotary Club are raising money to put a life size bronze sculpture of Red Rock at the Tehama District Fairgrounds. Starting in 2000, the Red Bluff Round Up brought a new event to the rodeo, the now legendary Wild Ride, where saddle bronc riders dress up in costume to compete. Not just for their riding skills, but for their look and creativity of their costume. The Wild Ride is presented on the last day of the three-day rodeo and is the last event.

An additional highlight of the Red Bluff Round Up, which started in approximately 2008, is the military fly over by
red bluff round-up rodeo the United States Marine Corps 101st Training Squadron from Miramar, California. As you look heavenward, watching the F-18 Hornets fly over, the song God Bless the USA by Lee Greenwood can be heard. Then you begin to see the parachute and the American Flag heading towards the arena, landing in the center. It is an emotional moment everyone should experience.
The 101st Red Bluff Round Up was held April 15-17 with approximately 12,000 spectators enjoying the rodeo each day. The Red Bluff Round Up is one of the “old rodeos”, and has earned its place as one of America’s Top 25 professional rodeos.

According to John Trede of the Red Bluff Round Up Association, the Red Bluff Round Up is continuing to run strongly and is a multi-generational organization, which gets larger and larger each year. The Red Bluff Round Up has a huge fan base which makes it
highly successful. Some of the stock contractors for the Red Bluff Round Up include Bridwell Pro Rodeo, Flying U Rodeo Company, Growney Brothers Rodeo Company, Rosser Rodeo Company, Calgary Stampede, Four Star Rodeo Company, C5 Rodeo, Powder River Rodeo Company, and Big Stone Rodeo Company.

Western Wanderings a cowboy’s cows While hauling my horse trailer down the road A sight caused me to raise my eyebrows Coming southbound in the northbound lane Was a large herd of black angus cows!
It seems an ol’ bull had been scratching his back On a fence post now laid on the ground That had opened a hole as big as a truck And that bull stood and made not a sound
I pulled over right quick, and parked my rig To watch this wild scene unfold Cause there was a bunch of them black angus cows To a cowboy somewhere, that’s just gold!
He eyed me like he was sizing me up As he moved to the road by ol’ Buck Had I bit off more than I could chew? I was wishing I now had my truck!
Because I am cowboy, through and through I couldn’t just sit there and watch So I saddled my horse from the trailer behind And rode fast to see what was what
Now Buck and that bull were blocking the way So the cows had to go through that hole Cause they couldn’t get past that bull or ol’ Buck Like that bull knew he had a role
I put spurs to ol’ Buck and we rode to the front Where them cows were just idling southbound I got the lead cow and a few of the rest Turned and started back headed northbound
When the cows had all wandered back into the field That old bull simply followed them in He turned his big head and winked at me And I swear he was wearing a grin!
As I sat there turning those cows with my yell I grinned cause I was having such fun I needed to see what caused this ol’ mess So I spurred ol’ Buck into a run
It’s like he knew he had caused the mess And wanted to make it right So he had stood by Buck in the roadway And that made for quite a sight
We galloped past cows that were now headed north To see where and how they got out When we got to the spot where them cows came from An ol’ cowboy there gave me a shout
Pushin’, chasin’, or ropin’ them cows Whether Black Angus, Jersey or Longhorn Will surely make any cowboy’s day Cause it makes us glad we were born!
“Can you make sure the cows come back in the field, Just guide them through that big open hole.” I told him I would and put Buck on the road To help them old cows meet our goal
