Rawhide Ranch Chronicles: New York Rodeo Legends Journey Through Rodeo History and Mindset – Part 2

In this second episode of the Cowboy Round Table, Gary steers the discussion towards his 1973 competition experience at the Pontiac Silverdome, where he drew Longhorn’s Panic in front of 73,000 spectators. The group reminisces about road tales, the horses they’ve cherished, and J Bar J’s three-time IPRA Bucking Horse of the Year, Nightmare. They delve into the progression of bareback riggings and riding styles, as well as share insights into the rodeo mindset and their personal strategies for competition.

We hope that you enjoy.
