My name is Ted Stovin, I’m originally from Drayton Valley, Alberta and still get my mail there. In the summer I spend most of my time in Water Valley, AB in the summer working for Chad Pighin doing construction work during the week and travelling to different rodeos all around the world.

Education

I don’t get to spend much time there in Drayton Valley anymore. Since high school I don’t think I have spent more than 60 days there. I started out leaving high school and going to college in Hobbs, New Mexico on a full rodeo scholarship where I studied a whole bunch of stuff. In May of 2010, I graduated from New Mexico Junior College there in Hobbs with my Associates Degree in General Studies with a cumulative GPA of 3.71

Currently I’m studying business at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. I was given a rodeo scholarship to go to school here and have one more year until I will get my bachelors degree. I see education as a major part of my life because I won’t always be able to ride bulls and need to set myself up for once I my riding career is finished. I do plan be a part of rodeo for the rest of my life because I love it and love the people that are a part of it as well.

Career Highlights

I started my rodeo career at age 12 and haven’t looked back since. It’s been a great journey. I am thankful for all of those who I have met and am excited for what the future brings. Here are some of my rodeo accomplishments and honors along with positions held:

• Current IPR North American Contestant Director
• 2010 CPRA High Marked Ride of the Season (91.5 Points)
• Finished 3rd in the 2010 CPRA Permit Award Standing
• I have represented Canada on 3 different occasions in International Competition including one time to Mexico and two times to Brazil
• Finished 6th in at the 2009 IPR World Finals in Chihuahua, Mexico
• 2008 National High School Finals Rodeo Qualifier

Memberships

Currently I am a member of the following associations:

• Canadian Professional Rodeo Association (CPRA)
• Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA)
• Professional Bull Riders (PBR)
• International Pro Rodeo (IPR)
• National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association (NIRA)
