20th Anniversary WRCA Finals 2015

Sandhill Cattle Co. Qualified for the Finals again making it their 14th year to qualify.  Tyler has been with their team for the majority of the years, he did compete with another team for a few years and then came back to Sandhill.  This year Tyler had decided to retire from riding the broncs and ranch rodeoing. He decided that he wanted to spend more time with us during his slower times and his body has had enough of the broncs. Tyler has been riding broncs and ranch rodeoing for 16 years. We all anticipated this was it, he was hanging his hat up......

Handsome fellas.

After the rodeo was over we went to the awards ceremony.  Then to our surprise they announced Tyler to win the Top Hand award.  We were so excited, shocked and proud for him!  What an honor and awesome award to win! 

So then everyone starts saying Tyler mise well try and rodeo one more year.  Reason being, he has to come back next year and carry the American Flag every night during opening ceremonies.  He agreed that it would be better to try and get qualified and be there to rodeo and carry the flag! So one more year.  Pray he stays healthy and safe riding those broncs for one more season.  

Sandhill Cattle ended up Reserve World Champions as well.  It was a great way to celebrate WRCA's 20th anniversary! Tyler gets to celebrate Sandhills 15th year with them, hopefully they get qualified to ring it in!

Blessed with great prizes and honors.  

See ya at the next one!! Or at least I will share an update!!
