The NFR stock has been announced, and as always, the best of the best will be bucking in Las Vegas come December. Here is a breakdown of the top NFR Bareback stock.
All Pink is one of the headliners of the animal athletes. Jess Pope went 88.5 points on All Pink at the 2021 NFR. All Pink will be bucking in round five and round 10 this year. This year the average score on All Pink was 84.00 points, the second highest of the horse’s career.

This season, Logan Hay broke the Saddle Bronc World Record on Xplosive Skies.
