The youngest Wright, Statler, put on a show in Dodge City, Kansas last night on Frontier Rodeo’s Bordertown. The two matched up to change the leaderboard with an 87-point ride that put them No. 1 and cinched Wright’s spot in the Short Round.
“Shoot, Ryder, he told me he’s done a lot of good on that horse. He told me I really need to stay back, lift, get a good mark out, him and Stetson have both done good on that horse,” he said.
He had good insight to what this ride could look like and the PRCA rookie made the most of it.
