There is no other name more synonymous with the sport of ProRodeo than Trevor Brazile. Winner of a record breaking 26 world champion titles in four separate categories — Team Roping, Tie Down Roping, Steer Roping and All Around — the Texas cowboy seemed to forever be at the top of the game. Inducted into the ProRodeo Hall of Fame on July 16, 2022, I had the opportunity to have a conversation with Trevor behind the scenes before he received his buckle and statue and before he gave his acceptance speech. The Q&A and some photography of mine of Trevor Brazile in action and also at the ProRodeo Hall of Fame induction ceremony have been published by The Fence Post magazine. You can click the link or the image to reach the article with photos. https://www.thefencepost.com/news/brazile-inducted-into-prorodeo-hall-of-fame-in-2022/

Trevor Brazile was 10 years into his incredible rodeo career and already piling up world titles and big wins, including this Tie Down Roping winning effort during the short go of the historic 100th National Western Stock Show in 2006. Image by Lincoln Rogers – All rights reserved.

My interview with ProRodeo Hall of Fame bareback cowboy Bobby Mote has been published. Mote was inducted into the ProRodeo Hall of Fame on July 16, 2022. He is a 4-time PRCA world champion bareback cowboy and a two-time PRCA reserve world champ who qualified for the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo (NFR) 15 years in a row. I was able to speak with him before his acceptance speech at his induction ceremony. Click the link or the image to get to the published interview. https://www.thefencepost.com/news/mote-in-the-prorodeo-hall-of-fame-in-2022/

4-time PRCA world champion bareback competitor Bobby Mote made a lot of big rides in his career, including this 89-point effort aboard the famous bucking horse Virgil to come from behind and take the title at the 2015 National Western Stock Show in Denver, CO.

It was a privilege to be able to speak with Bobby Mote on the day of his induction into the ProRodeo Hall of Fame. I hope you enjoy his answers to my questions as much as I did.

Colorado Springs Rodeo Strikes Gold

My latest article with photos is published on The Fence Post magazine’s website and will be in their upcoming print edition. It is about the inaugural NFR Open that took place at the 2022 Pikes Peak or Bust Rodeo in Colorado Springs. The renamed “NFR Open powered by RAM” used to be called the RAM National Circuit Finals Rodeo and was help for a number of years down in Kissimmee, FL. Moving the circuit championship rodeo to Colorado brought close to the PRCA headquarters and made it more centrally located for the contestants to access. The high-profile, million dollar rodeo made a smooth transition to the 6,500-seat Norris Penrose Event Center and the long-running Pikes Peak or Bust Rodeo, with all five performances sold out in 2022. You can click the link or the image to get to the story. https://www.thefencepost.com/news/pikes-peak-or-bust-rodeo-strikes-gold-in-2022/

2021 WPRA champion Jordon Briggs (daughter of barrel racing legend Kristie Peterson) and her popular horse “Rollo” blazed the arena for a 17.17-second time in the sudden death Gold Buckle Round of the Pikes Peak or Bust’s NFR Open on Saturday July 16. Although it was the third fastest time of the entire four-day rodeo, Briggs and Rollo placed second behind Cheyenne Allan’s electric 17.04 time in the championship round.

Champs… Past & Present

There are a lot of reasons I enjoy photographing the Elizabeth Stampede Rodeo in Elizabeth, CO. 1 – It is a small town rodeo and I appreciate that vibe, having grown up in a small town in the Midwest, surrounded by lakes, rural farmland and orchards. 2 – The people that put on the rodeo and all the volunteers that make it work are incredible. Quality folks all the way to their core. And because good things come in threes… 3 – World champions past and present will make appearances at the small rodeo, which lets you know what a quality run rodeo it really is.

Along those lines, I photographed the Friday night Extreme Bulls competition and was blessed to be able to talk afterwards with 7-time PRCA world champion bull rider Sage Kimzey AND ProRodeo Hall of Fame bull rider Charlie Sampson. To top it off? They are both great guys.

ProRodeo Hall of Fame bull rider Charlie Sampson (left) poses with 7-time PRCA world champion bull rider Sage Kimzey (right) behind the chutes of the award winning Elizabeth Stampede Rodeo in Elizabeth, CO following the Extreme Bulls competition on Friday June 03, 2022. Kimzey treated the sold-out crowd to a wild ride aboard a young athletic bull, but was unsuccessful in notching a qualified ride.

I love what I do!

The “Wright” Kind of Legend

#photography, accomplishment, All Around, All Around Cowboy, bull rider, Cheyenne, Cheyenne Frontier Days, country, cowboy, cowboys, daddy of 'em all, daddy of them all, famous, history, horse, horses, Jim Shoulders, legend, legendary, lincoln rogers, photo, photography, PRCA, Pro Rodeo, professional, ProRodeo, rodeo, rodeo photography, roughstock, rural, saddle bronc, Stetson Wright, tradition, west, western, win, winner, winning, world champion, world famous, world's largest outdoor rodeo, Wyoming

How many people get to be there when an actual legend is created?

And if they are, how many people know in that moment they are witnessing its birth?

Anyone in the stands during the 2021 Cheyenne Frontier Days championship round of rodeo (Sunday August 01) can say they were there when a new Cheyenne legend was made.

In its 125th year, the world famous Cheyenne Frontier Days rodeo is rich with tradition and history. As the “World’s Largest Outdoor Rodeo,” the venue has also created legends in the sport of rodeo throughout its long existence.

Utah cowboy Stetson Wright (shown here walking back to the chutes after a 90-point ride that won him the saddle bronc title) became the only roughtstock cowboy to win two consecutive Cheyenne Frontier Days All Around buckles since the famed Jim Shoulders did it back in 1963-1964.

If you are going to be a legend, Jim Shoulders is good company.

“It is pretty dang awesome, especially to have your name ranked up there with one of the greatest,” said Stetson Wright in an interview with me after the championship round was finished. “Hard to put into words, I guess. It is pretty special.”

Congrats, Stetson. And thanks for taking time to talk with me after the rodeo was complete.

Happy Flag Day fellow Americans!
