Las Vegas, NV: There are a couple of videos up on the YouTube page from this afternoon’s World Bronc Futurity at the South Point. That story is on it’s way soon. Until then, this is what’s happening at the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo if you happen to be interested.
Starting things off, 2012 Canadian Bareback Riding Champion JR Vezain finished third Round Two with an 85.5 on the Canadian Horse from the Kesler’s that they call Mile Away who also won the Horse of the Night stock award.
In the Saddle Bronc Riding, Wade Sundell split top honors on the Calgary Stampede’s Mad Money with an 84.5. Taos Muncy rode the Northcott’s Charlie Horse for an 82.5, tying for the fifth spot.
Lindsay Sears and Martha got it right tonight getting around the Coors’ Barrels in a time of 13.91 seconds. At this point she trails World Standings Leader Brittany Pozzi by about $41,000. Mary Walker is in between the two ahead of Sears by about $20,000.
