Bullfighters

Quirt Hunt

This year we honor a bullfighter who has fought alongside our World’s Oldest Rodeo® for the last 20 years, Quirt Hunt! Quirt continues to show us every year why we love having him as an official bullfighter for our rodeo. As our 2023 Parade Grand Marshal, we are excited to honor Quirt and show our gratitude for how much he has done for us over the last several years. Quirt is a huge asset to our rodeo family.

Quirt started his bullfighting career in high school rodeos, stepping in as a backup. Since then he has become one of Pro Rodeo’s top bullfighters. Good friend and rodeo announcer Hadley Barrett describes him best, “There are many responsibilities that go along with wearing clown and bullfighters makeup, and Quirt Hunt meets them all head on. He can protect a bull rider from a charging bull, to entertaining an adult audience, yet create the kind of image that a child can have as their hero and parents can be glad that they did. These are the kinds of things that go through the mind of Quirt the Clown and Bullfighter each day of his pro rodeo life. In my opinion he meets these qualifications and does them well.”

Quirt was ranch raised and knows the value of man’s relationship with animals. This makes him a natural at bullfighting and protection. He also has a love for horses and established himself as a topnotch horse trainer. It is a treat to watch him ride and work horses. If you are fortunate enough to see him training a horse between rodeo performances, be sure to take advantage of it. It truly is amazing!!

BEAU SCHUETH “SHEETS”

Beau Schueth “Sheets” is a national bullfighter who grew up in O’Neill, Nebraska Rodeo had been something he wanted to do since he grew up watching the Clearwater Rodeo. When most young men want to join the rodeo circuit, they hop on a horse and start roping or they get on a bronc or bull and hold on for eight seconds. Schueth decided that while he still wanted to compete in rodeo, neither roping nor riding was a good fit. He decided to take the bull by the horns and become a bullfighter.

With a lot of work, Schueth was finally the scheduled bullfighter for the 50th annual Clearwater Rodeo. Now, he has made his way to the top and staked a claim as a national champion bullfighter. Some of his accomplishments include: 2015 BOA Finals Bullfighter, 2017 CBR Bullfighter, Bull riding Tour Bullfighter, 2017 to Present Tuff Hedeman, 2018 Roughy Cup Champion, 2018 BFO Reserve World Champion, and 15+ Freestyle Bullfighting Wins.

Cody Sosebee

A resident of Charleston, Arkansas, Cody Sosebee was content playing out his days as a bareback and bull rider. As his 30s approached, Sosebee was sure he’d fill the rest of his years in the farming and ranching industry. An accidental career path was presented, and Sosebee became a rodeo barrelman or “rodeo clown.” Today, Sosebee has provided sidesplitting entertainment that has attracted rodeo contractors nationwide. His goal is to entertain rodeo fans of all ages at every performance. We welcome Cody to the Prescott Frontier Days,® Inc. – World’s Oldest Rodeo®
