Round 8 Saddle Bronc Riding goes to another Wright as Ryder Wright goes for 88 points on Korkow Rodeo's Kadoka Coolaid. This will make Ryder's second trip to the South Point Hotel & Casino this year after his round 4 win.

In the winners circle interview Ryder says his approach was to, "keep lifting with rein and stack out with your feet." He was all smiles as he finished his interview with "I just like riding bucking horses".

Dawson Hay went for 87 points on Calgary Stampede's Weekend Depardue and Wyatt Casper remains in the battle after scoring half point behind Hay for 86.5 points.

Casper is behind Ryder in the world standings. However, Casper leads the top of the average with 687 points on 8 horses. 8 cowboys have covered all 8 bucking horses so far and Ryder Wright is not among them. Ryder is 9th in the average with 611 points on 7 horses.

The next few rounds will be an interesting battle in the Saddle Bronc Riding and for now too much can change before the 2024 Gold Buckles get the World Champions names engraved in them.

SAMI JO BUUM

From tiny pink cowboy boots and pigtails to pro rodeos and fast horses, Sami Jo was definitely bitten by the horse bug at a very young age. She was born and raised in Colorado on a small backyard farm in Brighton. The western industry has been a huge part of almost every aspect of her life. She was not born into a rodeo family and is a first-generation professional barrel racer. With her husband, she co-owns and operates a construction company out of Keenesburg, Colo. as well as run a small performance horse breeding and training operation, Dark Horse Equine. She is passionate about animals, rodeo, family, work and Christ. She plays many roles from business owner, professional cowgirl, rodeo wife, horse trainer and breeder, animal therapist, writer and more; however, being a mom is her favorite job title. I look forward to sharing my experiences and all things western with my audience.
