Saddle bronc cowboy Hardy Braden rode one of the most famous bucking horses in the business — Killer Bee — for a new arena record at the 100th Greeley Stampede in Greeley, CO during the final round of rodeo action on June 30, 2022. The 89.50-point score bested the previous record of 88 points set by Wade Sundell in 2018 and tied by Ryder Wright in 2019. “It is quite something, actually,” said Braden when told his score set a new record. “I am kind of at a loss.  It was the 100^th anniversary, what better way to do that then get an arena record and win the 100^th.”

Oklahoma saddle bronc rider Hardy Braden drew what was announced as “the most famous bucking horse of all time” in Killer Bee from Beutler and Son Rodeo Company, and the duo put on a big show that culminated in an arena record 89.50 points and the overall title at the 100th Greeley Stampede (June 30, 2022).

Pretty cool moment to see in person and nice to be able to talk to the humble cowboy about it. A new article about it will be published soon in The Fence Post magazine with more conversation and more photos.

I’ve been on a a bit of a self-induced content creation blitz the last week or so as the award winning Elizabeth Stampede Rodeo is coming up quick (first weekend of June). This latest video is a fast-paced piece that is a compilation of my photography of that rodeo over the years 2003-2021. It’s been a pleasure to cover that rodeo for publication in numerous magazines over the last couple of decades. Click on the link or the image to go to the video on the Rumble platform.

The Elizabeth Stampede’s Blazing Saddles drill team impressed the crowd with a patriotic routine during Sunday afternoon’s Red, White and Blue Rodeo (June 05, 2016).

I hope you enjoy!

Animal Athletes at the ’22 NWSS Rodeo

I love watching great animal athletes in action, especially horses. The championship round of rodeo at the 2022 National Western Stock Show had the best bucking stock in the sport on hand to compete against the top cowboys. The award winning “Lunatic From Hell” (out of the great “Lunatic Fringe”) showed why he is one of the best bucking horses in the sport as he not only bucked off the cowboy, but also managed to avoid stepping on the competitor while continuing to buck and show off for the big crowd on Sunday January 23, 2022.

The championship round of rodeo at the National Western Stock show also features the best bucking stock in the sport, as Creighton Curley found out the hard way when Burch Rodeo’s award winning Lunatic From Hell sent the cowboy tumbling and then stepped around him while showing off for the big crowd.
