BRC in USA; Brazil Reigns in Penticton
Bull Riders Canada Action in Montana
StartFragment
Shelby, MT - Bull Riders Canada members rode into Shelby Montana on July 20th for the Marias County Fair event which featured 25 riders in the long round and 10 riders in the short round.
“Last year we had only 17 riders show up and they only rode three bulls.” exclaimed Buster Brown, one of the Committee members after the event concluded.
Mr. Brown continued “...we were hoping that we would get to see more cowboys ride more bulls this year and you Canadians don’t mess around! You get down (on top of the bull in the chute) get out (from the chute quickly) and ride bulls real good!”.
Bull Riders Canada members made up 18 of the 25-man roster while US riders held BRC permits to compete at the event. The stock was supplied by Bailey Pro Rodeo and was just fantastic!
There were 8 rides in the long round and Austin Nash, Eckville, AB won the round with an 85.5 point score on BPR T24 Rodeo Red.

There were 4 rides in the short round where 2-time NFR Qualifier Parker Breding, Edgar, MT was a solid 84 on BPR 17 The Hurst. Breding was a total of 162.5 on two head and ended up winning the event by a single point over Nash who was given an option for a re-ride in the short round and declined.
