Fun Facts about Denton: When rodeos shut down and after just winning San Antonio, Denton knew the best way to stay sharp was to keep getting on bulls. The competition wasn’t an option, but practicing was. He went to Ash Flat, Arkansas so he could get on bulls from Generations Pro Rodeo owned by his friend Cline Hall. When a place nearby came up for sale, he bought it, and now he can practice any time he wants. He is doing that getting ready for his first WNFR. He finished in 34th place last year, high enough to qualify him for San Antonio which got him a trip to Globe Life Field. Along the way, he also won a first and third place check on Burch Rodeo G-Easy who has been selected for competition at Globe Life Field as well. With the past success that Denton has had on G-Man, he’d likely be glad to get on him in Arlington in December.
