Garrett Yerigan and Justin Rumford dropped by The Cowboy Channel Studio to give us an in-depth look at the Gold Buckle Knockout — a brand new event being held, today, on the final day of the ProRodeo Season, giving the Top 20 Bareback and Saddle Bronc Riders one last chance to faceoff with some of the best horses in professional rodeo, and offering the No. 16-20 guys a shot at knocking someone out and taking their spot in the Top 15.
Being held on the Cervi Ranch in Stoneham, Colorado, this event will be the deciding factor for who makes the NFR in the bronc riding.
Justin and Garrett talk details, how the event came about, and the matchups for the long round.
“This is truly what makes you a fan of this sport is days like Wednesday at the Knockout,” says Yerigan.
“There’s no room for error on Wednesday, " says Justin. “That’s one of the reasons we set it up the way we did. We wanted the end of the season to be a big Wow.”
Watch it LIVE today at 6PM ET on the PRCA on Cowboy Channel+ app or on The Cowboy Channel at 8PM ET.
