The Sandhills Stock Show and Rodeo in Odessa, Texas is the first ProRodeo Tour event of 2021 and some of the best cowboys and cowgirls in the country were there over the weekend to get a jumpstart on the new season.
Through two performances, familiar names like Stetson Wright, Boudreaux Campbell and Jimmie Smith all were in first in their respective events, but there are plenty of lesser-known rodeo athletes and NFR cowboys alike looking to knock them down.
