Fun Facts about Stetson: He keeps adding to his win list and is on a mission to become a triple-title earner. He’s won gold buckles in saddle bronc riding (2021), bull riding (2020 & 2022), and five consecutive all-around championships. He’s on a mission to earn all three buckles in one year and this could be the season. He leads the world standings in all three categories. The gap in the saddle bronc riding is narrow at just over $4,000 so he needs to increase that in Las Vegas. He knows how to win, and learned that lesson from his father, Cody, (2-time world champion saddle bronc rider), his brothers, and his uncles who all compete in that event. But Stetson’s zest for winning goes beyond what his family has done. He is the only one to ride bulls in the PRCA and he continues to rise to the top in both events. Along with being a great cowboy, he strives to be great outside of the arena, most of all as a great dad to his daughter Kingsley.
