RodeoHouston Update

Gillette, Wyoming bull rider Bobby Welsh has won a round and placed in another at the huge Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo. His best outing was on a bull called “Big D” – a son of the famous bucking bull, Durango. Bobby stuck to his seat for a round-winning score of 88:



Total Houston money pocketed by Welsh so far nets at $4,750. There is a quite the pot o’ gold at the end of the RodeoHouston rainbow. A check for $50,000 is awarded each event winner once the field is narrowed to four by the finals, March 21.

Kelly Timberman, the 2004 world champion bareback rider, is in the money at RodeoHouston. The Mills, WY man who recently got hitched at a ceremony in Cheyenne, spurred a score of 81.5 last night to win $1,000. Here’s a look at his outing:



Kelly is second in his grouping at Houston and totals 160.5 on two rides. He’ll likely be headed to the semi-finals representing Wyoming in the bareback competition while Bobby Welsh will make the semis with his two scores for a total of 169.5 in bull riding.
