Contestants Cashing in at San Antonio Rodeo Contact: Lauren N. Sides 210.765.0633 [email protected] Susan Kanode [email protected] (817) 307-6336 Contestants cashing in at San Antonio Rodeo SAN ANTONIO (Feb. 8, 2018) – The first performance of the most lucrative rodeo on the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association circuit got underway at the San Antonio Stock Show on Thursday night. The rodeo has featured a tournament style format since 2003 when it moved into the AT&T Center. A total of 50 contestants earned the right to compete here. They are divided into groups of 10 that each compete in one of five brackets. They compete for three consecutive nights as part of their bracket and hope to be among the four highest money winners to move onto the Semifinals. Thursday night’s rodeo saw the first paychecks for Bracket 1. Among the winners were the Women’s Professional Rodeo Association reserve-champion barrel racer Hailey Kinsel. Kinsel, who lives less than 100 miles from San Antonio at Cotulla, rode her great mare, DM Sissy Hayday that she calls Sister. This is their first time that Kinsel has qualified for this rodeo where they stopped the clock in 13.86 seconds to win $2,378. Kinsel graduated from Texas A & M last May, and won the National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association title in June. Now she is through with school and concentrating on barrel racing. She finished second at the Fort Worth Stock Show Rodeo last week and was fourth in the world standings prior to running here. She has the potential to improve that position with more fast runs in the AT&T Center. The big winner here already is in the bull riding. Trevor Kastner from Roff, Okla., leads the world standings after winning in Fort Worth. He was the lone man to ride eight second on Thursday and while it wasn’t a big score, it got him a big check. Kastner rode a bull from California, four Star Rodeo’s Hot Rod. When the judges added up their scores, he had 78 points and was hoping to get a check. When the rest of the bull riders came up short, Kastner got all of the prize money for the performance. That $5,945 will get him a trip back here to compete in the semi-finals and have him looking towards his first San Antonio Rodeo championship. Friday night’s rodeo action will see the same contestants competing in round two of Bracket 1, beginning at 7 p.m. ### SAN ANTONIO, Texas (Feb.8, 2018) --- The following are results after the first performance of the San Antonio Stock Show Rodeo, the 12-time Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association Large Indoor Rodeo of the Year.

Given the absolutely abhorrent conditions that are currently plaguing your city and entire state, your efforts should be attempting to figure out your homeless problem!! Communication from Public Name: Date Submitted: 05/17/2021 01:38 PM Council File No: 20-1575 Comments for Public Posting: Please Do NOT Ban Rodeo and Bull Riding in Los Angeles! This ordinance is unnecessary – PBR already takes great care of the bulls!! - The health and safety of the animals in bull riding is paramount. These animal athletes get the best care and live a great life – extending four to five times as long as the average bull. - PBR stock contractors make their living by breeding, training, and working with their animal athletes. They truly love these animal athletes, treat them as a member of their own family, and have many safeguards in place to ensure their care. - The bulls in PBR are not wild animals forced to compete – they’re bred and trained for their jobs. Bulls buck because of their genetics. They are not abused or coerced to compete. The flank straps and dull spurs used in PBR do NOT harm the bulls. - In addition to bringing millions of dollars of economic impact to LA, bull riding teaches important values like hard work, charity, respect, responsibility, and honesty. The sport is inclusive and promotes equality.

    For More Information, press credentials or Interviews: Heather Krug, 310-463-1415 or [email protected] Top 10 Cowboys and Cowgirls Announced for The American Rodeo to Compete At The World’s Richest Weekend in Western Sports March 6-7, 2021 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas February 4, 2021 - Fort Worth, Texas – RFD-TV’s The American Rodeo presented by Durango Boots announced today the top 10 cowboys and cowgirls in each event who will be competing at this year’s richest weekend in western sports taking place March 6-7, 2021 at AT&T Stadium. “The American Rodeo is the only place to see the top 10 best cowboys and cowgirls in the world compete under the same roof, on the same night, other than the NFR,” said Randy Bernard, The American Rodeo CEO. “This rodeo is life-changing with the amount of money that is available for these athletes to win in one weekend and brings out a level of competition you just don’t see at other rodeos.” The American Rodeo has catapulted careers for competitors such as Richmond Champion, who in The American’s inaugural year, won the bareback riding at the age 21 and was awarded $1.1 million dollars as he not only won the event, but won as a qualifier which made him eligible for the million dollar bonus. That year he then qualified for his first NFR. Hailey Kinsel who also competed as an American qualifier, first won the 2017 American in barrel racing and continues to break records today as a WPRA and NFR World Champion.

  • SETTING RECORDS, CROWNING CHAMPS Kansas Bareback Rider Repeats Title; World Champion Barrel Racer Sets Arena Record
    For more information: Ruth Nicolaus (319) 321-2152 For Kansas’ Biggest Rodeo SETTING RECORDS, CROWNING CHAMPS Kansas bareback rider repeats title; world champion barrel racer sets arena record Phillipsburg, Kans. (August 7, 2021) – In the bareback riding, Kansas cowboy Jesse Pope won the Phillipsburg title for the second consecutive year. The 22-year-old cowboy rode Beutler and Son Rodeo’s Nutrena’s Election Day for 87.5 points and $2980. It was a full eight seconds, Pope said. “It felt like we were doing a lot of things. She’s a pretty small horse and really electric and she bucked hard. I had to sit on the gas pedal the whole time and wait for the buzzer.” A recent graduate of Missouri Valley College in Marshall, Mo., Pope is ranked seventh in the world standings after an outstanding summer. He sat out of rodeo for two months with a fractured L5 vertebrae that pinched a disk, but over the week preceding and following July 4, Cowboy Christmas, won $21,000, and in the month of July, won $50,000. Pope made a big impression at his first Wrangler National Finals Rodeo last year, finishing as the average champion and third place in the world. Last year’s National Finals was a jumping off point for this year. “A lot of people didn’t know me, going into the Finals last year. I was feeling really going into it, and won the average. I’ve been building off of that. I took it, built a fire with it, and I’ve been putting gas on the fire every time I get on.” He loves coming to Kansas Biggest Rodeo.

Sides 210.765.0633 [email protected] Courtesy of the San Antonio Stock Show Rodeo Susan Kanode [email protected] (817) 307-6336 Kinsel sets new barrel racing arena record at San Antonio Rodeo SAN ANTONIO (Feb. 21, 2018) – San Antonio rodeo fans got to see a barrel racing run that was one for the record books on Wednesday night. Hailey Kinsel, from Cotulla, Texas, has won a check every time that she and her great mare DM Sissy Hayday have entered the AT&T Center. They had a clean sweep of Bracket 1, started the Semifinals as high money winners and ended them that way. Kinsel and her seven-year-old palomino mare that she calls Sister won $7,134 in their bracket. Then a third-place check in the first round of the Semifinals got her an additional $2,230. Kinsel and Sister were the second barrel racers to compete in the AT&T Center on Wednesday night. They made a nearly flawless run, stopped the clock in 13.60 seconds to set a new arena record. The previous record of 13.67 seconds was set by Sydni Blanchard in 2013. “I grew up coming to this rodeo,” Kinsel said. “We always bought tickets and it was a dream to just compete here. I felt like we had a pretty snappy run, but to set an arena record here, that’s pretty special.” The Texas A&M graduate is the reigning National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association champion. She graduated last May, competed at the College National Finals Rodeo in Casper, Wyoming in June and went on to qualify for the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo (NFR) last December where she finished the year as the reserve world champion.
