Koben Puckett PBR | Amarillo, TX | 7/13

Koben Puckett was born and raised in a rodeo family in New Mexico. From an early age, he was involved in the sport of rodeo, competing in jr. rodeos, high school rodeos, amateur rodeos, and open events, winning at all levels. However, on September 6, 2008, at the age of 19, Koben’s career was cut short by a life-altering spinal cord injury while competing in a PBR classic. Since then, the majority of his time has been spent on pursuing recovery.

In 2014, Koben was inspired to get back involved in the sport he loved, by hosting a bull riding event in Amarillo, Texas. With the help of great friends and amazing sponsors, the event has grown every year since and was sanctioned by the PBR in 2015. Due to Covid, the 2020 event was skipped, but my event came back stronger than ever in 2021 with over 2,100 people in attendance and $30,000 funds raised for the Press On Foundation.

2024 National High School Finals Rodeo | Rock Springs, WY | 7/14 – 7/20

Like most amazing inventions and developments, the National High School Rodeo Association began as a simple, logical idea which over the course of a few short years, took shape into something quite incredible.

Today, Claude Mullins’ dream has evolved into an organization that probably could not have been foreseen when he first saw those young boys innocently practicing their roping skills so many years ago. Mullins passed away in 1990. Yet his legacy of support for youth, and his love of rodeo, continues to have a dramatic difference in the lives of over 10,500 students in the United States, Canada, and Australia. And what was once a national finals that featured 121 entries has now grown into a National High School Finals Rodeo that features over 1,500 students on a regular basis and has become known as the “World’s Largest Rodeo.”

The creation of the Junior High Division in 2004 helped bring the excitement, mentorship, and thrills of rodeo to a new generation of junior high school students. And with each passing year, the Association continues to build upon its legacy of promoting the sport, while also supporting and preparing the future leaders of our society.
