Shad Mayfield's 'Reign of Terror' Tie-Down Roping Continues in Texas
The Parker County Sheriff's Posse Frontier Days and PRCA rodeo/Xtreme Bulls gave a display of rodeo's best athletes. The Xtreme Bulls kicked off on June 4, prior to the PRCA rodeo (June 5-8). Tristen Hutchings bucked off in the PRCA rodeo, but he came out on top for the Xtreme Bulls. The No. 3 pick for the New York Mavericks 2024 PBR Team's Draft, Hudson Bolon, proves to be a good bet. Bolon's win pairs nicely with his recent placings in Gladewater, Texas, Mt. Pleasant, Texas, and Fort Smith, Ark.
Coleman Proctor's second place finish in team roping and round two win in the steer roping helped him to secure Weatherford's All-Around title. Proctor currently sits No. 5 in 2024 All-Around World Standings. Leighton Berry, the current regular season leader, won the bareback riding—creating some separation between him and the defending World Champion Keenan Hayes.
Shad Mayfield's Reign of Terror on the tie-down roping competition continues. His win in Weatherford moves him dangerously close to the $150,000 mark. Helen Nowosad (Alta., Canada) and Down Ta Drift, a 2018 buckskin stallion (DASH TA FAME x MP WOODEN COWGIRL X LONE DRIFTER), show their ability to compete at both the aged events and professional rodeos. After placing eighth in the first round of the Royal Crown Derby, the Canadian native and her stallion outran the competition in Weatherford.
