Ernie Courson Jr., the back flipping Florida bull rider, will miss the remainder of the 2023 season after breaking his collarbone at the Horse Heaven Roundup on Aug. 24.

“During the ride the bull snatched me down about the third jump and put his horn under my chin and whacked my collarbone,” he told ProRodeo.com. “I knew it was broke on impact.”

Courson Jr. spent the summer on the bubble and is currently No. 17 in the PRCA World Standings with $94,262.
