BY COLIN THORSEN
Fifteen-year-old Hiko Neill is excited at the prospect of man-handling animals ten times his weight in open bull riding ranks next rodeo season. The Year 12 Te Awamutu College student capped a sen- sational 2009-10 season on the national circuit winning the second division bull ride title first year in the grade. At the annual prizegiving in Fielding, held after the final rodeo at Waimarino, Neill was also presented with the prized buckle as rookie bull riding champion. More importantly, the young tyro gained well in excess of the $2000 prize money needed to gain auto- matic entry into open bull ride in 2010-11. He in fact finished the second division bull riding competition with $2758, well clear of the minor placegetters Ramoan Neho $2285, Stuart de Ridder $1955 and Paddy Church $1910. Neill will go down in his- tory as one of the youngest riders to break into open bull ranks.
