I just found out that a young rider lost his life due to injuries sustained at the URA finals. It is a reminder that even with all of the progress made in the protective gear Bullriding is still a very dangerous sport. Please pray for Cody Brunner and his family. The family is also facing some huge financial burdens. More information can be found here:
"All I have to do is really learn how to dance with a bull. You just have to remember that he's definitely leading and you have to follow. You can't get behind at all. If you keep in time with him, you're all right. I just wish it wasn't such a hard dance to learn."- Fred Boettcher
