Wyatt Casper finally had his chance to go toe-to-toe with National Finals bucking horse of Lancaster and Jones Pro Rodeo, Total Equine Angel Fire, and ended up putting an 86-point ride on the board.
“I’ve seen it with a lot of my buddies and it’s been around for a while and that’s just a really nice horse that you get to go out there and do your job. It makes bronc riding fun when you get to get on those,” Casper said.
After a little struggle in the chutes, Casper’s focus was on the mark out and staying ahead of Angel Fire. It was a ride that has Casper likely moving on to the Finals in San Angelo.
“It helps a lot to be able to beat some of these guys here. There’s a lot of guys out and it’s a really good rodeo so you really got to bring you’re a game. To be 86 here, it’s a blessing, I’ve been here a bunch and I don’t think I’ve ever cracked the 80’s and I’m glad to finally get it done this year,” he said.
Five performances left in San Angelo and Casper currently sits second in the Long Round.
