Roan Heck, a competitor at the National Junior High Finals Rodeo suffered a freak accident as a child where he fell off of a lawn mower and lost his leg.
Heck has a prosthetic on his leg from his knee down but does not let that stop him from competing.
“It’s really tough staying in the saddle because you don’t have that weight on your left side so it is a little wobbly and sometimes I hit the dirt a little hard.”
The National Junior High Finals Rodeo continues on PRCA on The Cowboy Channel+ App throughout the week.
