Letter from the Editor I hope that this issue of Humps N Horns finds all going well for you and your family. I love this time of year as the weather gets a little warmer and we are in the middle of a busy season of bull riding. Within the PBR, Cody Nance is setting the world on fire! He was already having a great season and riding over 50% of his bulls. As I write this, he has just won the 15/15 Bucking Battle in Tacoma and climbed up even higher in the world standings. We have a nice article about Nance in this issue which gives us a look back at the “old days” and how difficult it used to be for riders to earn a spot on the coveted Built Ford Tough Series. We also have the opportunity to learn more about a young man with a bright future, Keyshawn Whitehorse. Whitehorse has made the most of his time on the Unleash the Beast Tour and has moved up to #21 in the world standings. An outstanding young man who also happens to be a darn good bull rider too. A new author, Rae Delbianco, gives us a chance to preview her book, Rough Animals, which will be released on June 5. The novel should be quite appealing to bull riding fans and others
who enjoy the western way of life. You can check out the preview and then order the book on Amazon or Barnes & Noble, if you are interested. I wanted to remind you again that we are not able to attend as many events as we have in the past so be sure to renew your subscription on our website, www.humps-horns.com, or call our office (325-500-BULL) and we will be glad to help you by phone. Thank you for all you do to support the sport of bull riding. Until next time, Terry

Talking “Bull” with Brayden
Hi my name is Brayden Hollywood Brown and I am a miniature bull rider. The bull riders ride the bulls, the contractors bring the bulls, but today we are going to focus on my three favorite bulls. We will talk about bulls from the past and present. So lets get into it. There have been many great bulls in rodeo. One of the greats from way back was Tornado. Freckles Brown broke this bulls 220 buck-off streak in 1967. He was the top NFR bucking bull four times in a row and was owned by Jim Shoulders. He was called “The Meanest Bull Alive’ although Jim Shoulders referred to him as a pet. He bucked in the PRCA and qualified for the NFR four times. Tornado was the NFR bucking bull of the year four times from 1962-1965, At one event Mr. Shoulders said he would give the man that rode Tornado five hundred dollars, but of course no one rode him. Tornado was a Braford, Brahma - Hereford, and weighed about one thousand eight hundred fifty pounds. He was first bucked just a stones throw from me in Mesquite, Texas. In 1972 three years after Tornado retired he passed away peacefully. He was then buried on the grounds of the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum. He is only one of four infamous animals that have received this honor.
Last but definitely not least, my all time favorite, Sweet Pro’s Bruiser. He is owned by D&H Cattle Company. According to PBR.com, J.W. Hart said one time that there is such a connection between H.D. and Bruiser, it is almost like he is a pet or family member. One of the most notable rides, to me, would be Jess Lockwood’s ride in Springfield, Missouri. Bruiser scored 47 points, but unfortunately Jess was knocked out. I love to watch this bull and I hope I have the chance to spur him down one day. He bucks tremendous and I believe he has a good chance at winning the title again this year. I have a lot of respect for the contractors, handlers, and bull owners. I know y’all take care of these bulls and I for one appreciate what you do. To find out more about me or to talk more bull go to my Facebook page @BraydenHollywoodBrown. Thank you again, Brayden Hollywood Brown
Another one of my favorites is Reindeer Dippin. I chose this bull because I love how much air he could get and how he would do something different every trip. He was owned by Cindy Rosser and Julio Moreno. Cindy often talked about how “electric” he was. He was a fan favorite for sure. He was named for the move he would make on a daily basis. The famed bull would tilt his horns back and nose towards the sky. He bucked-off many of the top ranked bull riders of his time like Mike Lee, the 2004 World Champion. Although he was ridden by L.J. Jenkins for 93 points. That’s nothing to bat an eye at. He scored 45 points 17 times during his career. He went on to sire over 50 PRCA and PBR bucking bull. Two of the most famous would be Bushwacker and Roy. Reindeer died last year at the age of 18 years old. Which is pretty old for a bull.

Rough Animals is an upcoming rural thriller, packed with visceral action at a breakneck pace, from the 25-year-old debut author and former cattle rancher who Pulitzer Prize finalist Philipp Meyer has called “a young Cormac McCarthy.” It follows the harrowing coming of age of a Utah farmer in facing a fourteen year old female cartel assassin, as his past unravels in his fight for survival from the mountains of Box Elder to Monument Valley, across a landscape
as beautiful as it is brutally unforgiving. Hailed as a “furious and electric [...] odyssey through an American west populated by survivors and failed dreamers” in a starred review from Publishers Weekly, and with a place among Southern Living’s top five “Best New Books Coming Summer Out 2018,” Rough Animals will be published June 5th and is available from Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

The following is a deleted scene from the novel’s third chapter. Ever since their father’s untimely death five years before, Wyatt Smith and his inseparably close twin sister, Lucy, have scraped by alone on their family’s isolated ranch in Box Elder County, Utah. That is until one morning when, just after spotting one of their bulls lying dead in the field, Wyatt is hit in the arm by a hail of gunfire that takes four more cattle with it. The shooter: a fevereyed, fearsome girl-child with an outdated TEC-9 in her left hand
and a worn shotgun in her right. They hold the girl captive, but she breaks loose overnight and heads south into the desert. With the dawning realization that the loss of cattle will mean the certain loss of the ranch, Wyatt feels he has no choice but to go after her and somehow find restitution for what’s been lost. This scene takes place as Wyatt begins his dire hunt through the trailer parks and dilapidated woods surrounding the ranch, in search of the young girl capable of unspeakable violence.
If Smith had gone around back of the trailer at the first instead of to the door he would have seen it, but he had not. Discharged, the boy who had guarded the rock with a stick rifle walked around to the backyard and joined the others. There was a sandpit that Bo Anderson had dug for his children behind the trailer many years before, with the first of them (and there were nine of them now), but within a season the rain had gotten under the tarp that covered it and the sand went moldy, so they gave it up and let it go to mud. But the pit was half-decent enough that the mud stayed, and they’d wade in the clean unpolluted black muck that reached up to the waist on the littlest ones, and dig in with their toes for tokens and playthings long lost.
The girl had shaken her head.
One of the younger boys worked a wooden boat across its surface, letting it go to watch it float and then snatching it up as soon as it would start to sink in. It was a tugboat, and he supplied it with leaves to carry to some foreign port whose waves were made of salt-clay and black silt icing-thick. He’d stripped down to his underwear in the heat and to avoid his mother’s scolding for dirtying his overalls, and was sticky with dirt up to his hipbones and all the way up his shoulders where he’d sunk them in the mud, and his underfed bloated belly stuck out white like a deer’s against the solid darkened limbs.
When he brought it back she drank, and when she was finished she cast the can aside into the bushes and looked at him with her head cocked for a long time before she spoke.
“We’re makin mudpies if you wantin some.” And he had held out what was left in his fist, and it started running in a beetle-colored paste down his arm. “No, not that. You have water?” The boy had nodded and ran back to the clearing, past his brothers and sisters and to the spigot and soup can at the back wall of the trailer.
“Little brother, would you like to learn how to break a man’s arm?” He kept playing with the tugboat along its gelatinous black plain. At the edges of the horde of siblings wandered a dazed child with pigtail braids, slowed by shock and mumbling quietly as she held her forearm where the bone had gone through the skin.
ey were new leaves; the ones from before had toppled in and Th gone hopelessly under with a careless movement of a sibling’s arm half an hour before, and he knew better than to go crying or whimpering to anyone when there was no one, and so, sniveling, he’d climbed his way out of the pit, holding the empty boat to his chest, and walked into the woods. e’d been bent down, gathering leaves and folding pieces of bark H in half to carry them, when he’d heard a snap in the undergrowth in front of him. He’d looked back at the others just once and then walked farther in toward the sound. There he came upon a girl, an older girl than him and taller too but not a grownup yet. She was crouched at the base of a tree with her feet kicked out, and watching him with eyes that looked yellowish, like their coonhound’s. He had stopped, but she hadn’t moved. “Are ya lost?” Author Rae DelBianco. Photo by Kenza Le Bas.

Choose Your Influences Wisely.... There are many guys out there who ride or rode good who don’t know the first thing about the mechanics of bull riding. Make sure that you are listening to guys who can back up their theories about how to ride bulls. Anything I teach has a proven purpose in it. A great way to improve your chances of success in the arena is to spend time with guys who have experienced that success. Don’t limit yourself to guys from the past or to guys who are currently winning. Guys from both of these groups have something to add to your arsenal for success. Limiting yourself to input from one group of guys will limit your vision toward riding, nothing good will come from that. Always look to the next bunch of guys and remember, you have a lot to offer them. Their success is somewhat dependent on what you impart to them. Who are you going to give a place to help mold your competition level in your career? You better choose wisely the ones you surround yourself with. There are a lot of guys who will want to hang out with you because you ride good but not all of them are going to be good for your riding. I was watching the riders at the PBR World Finals as they prepared to ride and noticed that there were some in contention for the championship or the average at the finals who chose carefully who they had pulling their rope while others had guys helping them that were not winners. People are people so we should never disown others but when it comes to competition why not give yourself a better chance by having winners around your chute or in your rig to help you be a winner.

such as this), some of the tendons that connect at the elbow can become inflamed. It is known as tennis elbow and it results in pain on the outside of the elbow and a lack of strength in the lower arm and wrist. Golfer’s elbow is similar to tennis elbow, but it affects different tendons in the arm. With golfer’s elbow, the tendons that attach on the interior side of the elbow are affected. An individual suffering from this form of tendinitis will feel pain around the bump that sticks out from in the inside part of the elbow, and pain and stiffness when using the lower arm and wrist. Knee
All About Tendinitis and How to Deal With It In the body, tendons are the cords that attach the muscles to the bones. With these attachments, the muscles are able to move the bones in your body. Tendinitis is a common type of tendon injury and it is usually the result of overuse. For athletes, issues with tendinitis are quite common. In fact, many different forms of tendinitis have names that associate the specific condition with an athlete who is likely to experience it, such as tennis elbow, jumper’s knee, pitcher’s shoulder, and golfer’s elbow. Tendinitis can occur anywhere in the body where a tendon connects a bone to a muscle. It is caused by inflammation of the tendon and results in pain and tenderness at the joint. In many cases, tendinitis also results in stiffness, weakness, and a lack of mobility around the injured tendon. While most cases of tendinitis can be resolved with rest and therapy, severe cases of tendinitis can result in a rupture. It is important to take care of yourself and seek medical attention to prevent this from occurring. Common Types of Tendinitis Elbow For people that play racquet sports, a common type of tendinitis is tennis elbow. At the elbow, you have muscles and tendons that control the movement of the lower arm. Through the repeated exertion that comes with swinging a racquet (or repetitive motions
As the name suggests, jumper’s knee is a type of tendinitis that often affects someone who has to repetitively use their knees to bend or climb, as well as athletes who do a lot of jumping. This type of tendinitis is an inflammation of the tendon that connects the patellar to the tibia. Usually, this will result in pain in the knee area, and it can also cause pain that runs down from the knee to the shin. Shoulder Pitcher’s shoulder is a type of tendinitis that occurs in the tendons of the rotator cuff. It is common among baseball pitchers and other throwing athletes like quarterbacks and also to those who perform repetitive motions with their shoulders. This type of tendinitis will usually cause pain in the front of the shoulder and down the side of the upper arm. In addition to that, it will cause stiffness and pain when the arm is in an overhead position. Heel Achilles Tendonitis affects the tendon that connects the calf muscle to the back of the heel. Achilles tendon injuries are mostly found in athletes who spend a lot of time running and jumping. This ailment causes extreme pain, tenderness, and inflammation in the back of the ankle, just above the heel, and extends up to the base of the calf. Prevention For the most part, tendinitis is not a serious injury and it can be treated with rest and therapeutic exercise. However, when these injuries are not allowed the time to heal, they can get worse and contribute to other injuries. In the prevention of tendinitis, there are several steps that you can take. Warm up: When you have been inactive, your tendons are not ready for heavy exertion. To prevent injury, you need to warm up, stretch, and build up the activity in a gradual manner. Equipment: You can find equipment that can make certain tasks easier on your body. For golfers and tennis players, the right equipment can help prevent tendinitis in the elbow. If your clubs

or racquets are sized wrong, it can expose you to an increased risk of tendinitis in the elbow. Strength: Build the strength of the muscles in the area. If the muscles are stronger, it will take stress off the tendons and reduce the risk of injury. Technique: One of the most common causes of tendinitis is using a flawed technique. Make sure that you are using the right mechanics and techniques for the activity you are doing.

Inspiration Point
Why does God choose the poor of the world as heirs to His Kingdom (James 2:5)? Why does God choose the weak and not the mighty? Why did he choose lowly Gideon? Consider the words Jesus shared with Paul in 2 Corinthians 12:9, “My grace is sufficient for thee, for my strength is made perfect in weakness”. God’s might demonstrates itself by taking what the world thinks of as weak or undesirable and then transforms it into victory. Christ came as a lowly Nazarene of Galilee and became the Savior of the World. Certainly, God could show his might through timid Gideon and make him a mighty man of valor.

God Knows Your Potential
Imagine what God can do with you! You have great potential in the hands of our almighty God. If you’d like to discuss how God can work through you, “Come now, let us reason together...” (Isaiah 1:18) In HIS Love,
Sometimes what the world expects of us may be more than what we have to give. On the other hand, sometimes our potential is greater than the effort we make. Whether it’s riding bulls or building fence, we often convince ourselves that we are doing the best we can when in all reality, we may be slacking just a bit. I’m reminded of an article I read. I don’t know the authors name but the moral is one we could probably all implement in our lives.
Keno
The first time the Bible speaks of Gideon is in Judges 6:11. Gideon is hiding in a winepress beating out wheat so the Midianite oppressors will not find it. An angel of the Lord appears and calls him a “Mighty man of valor”. The Lord then tells Gideon to “Go in this might of yours and save Israel from Midian”. Gideon appears to be oblivious to any might that he had within himself. His work was being done in hiding! He declared he was of the weakest clan of Israel and weakest of his own house. When he is finally convinced to follow God’s direction, he does so at night due to fear. God knows the potential of man. God knows the potential of man. Timid Gideon proceeded to break down the altar of Baal and cut down the Asherah (sacred pole). He stood against fear and anger of his own people. He went to battle against the Amalekites and the Midianites though outnumbered. He conquered by the hand of God. Many people go through life without seeing what they could be. James 2 speaks of the vision of man. We are not to look with partiality upon one man or another based upon their appearance. God knows the great price of the heart hidden in man (1 Peter 3:4). God called upon Moses who was fearful. He strengthened Samson who made one bad decision after another. He chose a shepherd boy to be a king! He called Peter though He knew he would reject Christ at one point. He chose Paul who fought against the Gospel to see Christians to their death. God, through His Son, made new creatures of those once lost in the hopelessness of sin. God sees beyond the eyes of carnal man.

Jake West By Georgia Akers
Interviewer’s Comments: Being one of those pesky lawyers, I wanted to disclose that I serve on the Board of Directors of Western Sports Foundation, formerly known as Rider Relief Fund. Last year, the board began working on expanding the services that we offer bull riders to include wellness programs and other programs to assist the riders. I love this sport as our readers do and wanted to inform you of the many changes that have been initiated-all to help our riders. Jake West was our Financial Officer for the Rider Relief Board. He headed the committee to plan programs to better assist our riders. When the time came to select an Executive Director, the Board could not think of a better person. 1. Tell me a little about yourself. Your background and how you got involved in the sport of bull riding. I grew up farming and ranching in South Dakota and Nebraska about 100 miles from Mt. Rushmore. I joined Professional Bull Riders starting in July 2008 as part of the finance and accounting team and held a number of different roles for almost five years. During my time with the PBR I became involved with the Rider Relief Fund and was the Financial Officer on the Board of Directors for RRF for 9 years before becoming the Executive Director in the Fall of 2017. 2. Before we talk about the Western Sports Foundation, formerly known as the Rider Relief Fund, tell me about the history of Rider Relief. How and why did it form? Rider Relief Fund was founded following Jerome Davis’ fall from Jerry Nelson’s bull, Knock ‘em Out John in the Fall of 1998. Following Jerome’s injuries, the outpouring of support helped to fund the creation of Rider Relief Fund. Rider Relief Fund is an IRS designated 501(c)3 organization, which means donations are tax deductible for donors.
3. What did it do? The Rider Relief fund was created to aid bull riders and bullfighters that were injured during competition. The assistance provided was in the form of financial assistance paid directly to the athlete while they were not able to ride. 4. Could any bull rider apply for assistance? Any bull rider or bullfighter injured while participating in a sanctioned event can apply for assistance. 5. How much has Rider Relief paid out over the years to assist riders? During the 20-year history of the Fund more than $2.5 million dollars have been paid to assist athletes. 6. What was the catalyst that brought about the change of Rider Relief Fund to Western Sports Foundation? There has been an ongoing effort by the Board of Directors of Rider Relief Fund to create new programs for the last three years. The start-up funding required for the development of the new programs has been provided by a multi-year commitment from the Professional Bull Riders.
Humps-Horns.com · 16 · May 2018
7. What are the new programs that the Western Sports Foundation offers and plans to offer in the future? The new programs being offered are focused on five areas, combined they provide a platform of total wellness: Mental: This includes access to a national network of neurologists that provide post concussive and brain health evaluations and provides a proper treatment plan; post concussion syndrome can cause cognitive and emotion problems that require counseling services; and substance abuse issues. Physical: We continue to provide financial assistance to the injured athletes because if they aren’t riding, they are not earning a pay check; an addition to the physical is a gym membership to promote healthy lifestyles with a national company that has facilities throughout the country. We have a provider network throughout the country so that athletes can be treated near their hometown. Life Skills: Many athletes leave high school and go straight into competition bypassing life experiences and lessons to help them move from adolescence into adulthood. We have coaches that can assist in all areas such as banking, real estate, insurance, healthy eating, family care and relationship counseling.
Financial Planning: To prepare athletes for their future, financial planners are available to assist in the basic financial skills. This is accomplished through workshops and seminars. Education and Career Planning: Athletes struggle with what they will do when they are no longer able to compete. We are in the process of setting up partnerships with community colleges and vocational schools. We will assist in reviewing post-athletic options, assist with securing scholarships, etc. As you can see, it will require raising quite a bit of money to accomplish this. The goal of the Western Sports Foundation programs is expansion to all western sports athletes, the expansion is dependent upon securing funding much like what the PBR is providing. 8. The PBR has been generous in providing “start up funds” for these programs. Would you please elaborate? PBR has signed a six-year contribution agreement that will provide millions of dollars of support over the life of that agreement. The contributions by the PBR have allowed us to launch the expanded programs and re-brand the organization.
Humps-Horns.com · 17 · May 2018
9. Eventually, as funds are raised, the plan is to expand the services to other western sports participants. How will this be done? The programs as they exist today are designed to be expanded as more funding is secured and we can afford to aid more athletes. 10. How are these services going to be funded? Our organization has always been funded by individual and business/corporate donors. Moving forward and expanding services will require a huge step up in funding and we look forward to working directly with member organizations and sanctioning bodies to create funding sources that are tied to their groups to help fund our expansion of services.
services they have selected. Athletes will receive one on one case management, and monthly updates on the services that have been provided to them.
If the readers have any comments or suggestions of persons they would like to have featured, please email me at humpshornsgeorgia@ gmail.com
11. If a rider needs services, how do they get the services? What is the procedure? The athlete can go to our website to get additional information on our services and to request an application. Once we receive the request, we send the athlete our application along with additional information on each of the programs. The athlete can then select what services they wish to receive and return the application to our office. We then process the application and start providing the

Whitehorse Living His Dream in the PBR
Keyshawn Whitehorse (and just how great a name is that?) is a popular PBR bull rider who grew up on a Navajo Indian reservation until he entered the fourth grade. After that, he and his family moved to Texas, but his early years on the reservation were not unlike many other bull riders. “It was great growing up there,” he told us Humps N Horns magazine. “It was a simple life where you do what you need to do and family is everything. It was a life that you’ve grown into and you’re comfortable with, and it was kinda hard to leave.”
But leave he did, with his mom Delphine, dad Norbert, and older brother Shaquille, leaving the rest of the family behind. “It was really tough for us in the beginning, to move away from everything we’ve known. It was especially hard for my parents, because that was where they had been their entire lives. It was tough for my brother and I too, because that life was something we never thought would go away – we thought we would always be around that. “So it was culture shock really,” Keyshawn continued. “We went from going on one road with nothing out there and maybe just a few other people around you, to a whole bunch of people around you! We are somewhat settled now, but it took us three or four years to really take a breath and go, ‘OK, alright.’ But we go back home all the time. We can’t help ourselves,” he said with a laugh. His bull riding interest came from seeing it on television. He woke up one night to find his dad up late watching bull riding. He sat next to him and just watched, not saying anything. He was five years old. “I think it was just something I

was just destined to do. I think the only thing that came out of my mouth after watching was, ‘Dad, I want to do that.’ My dad agreed, and that was the start. The next day my dad went to town and bought me some boots and a hat, a long sleeve and Wranglers. “He built me a little bucking barrel the old-school way, where you have the three posts in the ground and the barrel in the middle connected with cables. He never really rode bulls. He got on a few but he didn’t take it anywhere near the extent I took it. But he had an old Gary Leffew tape and we would watch that. “Even though he didn’t know much he did try to teach me,” Whitehorse said. “I would practice on the barrel every day, and work out and exercise. That is one thing that he did know about, because he was a basketball player growing up. He loved basketball, so there was a lot of exercising, that’s what he knew how to do best. That’s how I learned to try to be in shape all the time, and to push myself mentally.” They also had horses, so Keyshawn did ride horses, but they did not know anyone around the area, or even remotely close to where they lived that rode bulls. Whitehorse did pick up a little bit more education when he participated in a rodeo school in Colorado. But as a calf rider, he didn’t learn a lot.

as much as they can. But it was still a good school, because it was the only time I was able to get on a lot of calves at one time. I did get to go to one event close to the house, and I bucked off at my first event ever. At my second event which was in New Mexico, I happened to win. “I started going to more events after that. It was great times riding around the res growing up. Even after I left, I would go back home and ride there during the summer a little bit. It was a good experience.” Since turning professional, Keyshawn has only competed in PBR events, and right now that is where he wants to stay. “I enjoy the PRCA, I love watching all the events and everything. The rodeo atmosphere is amazing and I did grow up in high school rodeo. I love it. I rode bulls. They almost got me to ride broncs. They kept telling me I was the perfect size, and that I could be pretty good at it.
“It was a two-day school, and they just try to teach you the basics

“Actually, one time I did get on a mini horse with a bareback riggin. That was in Junior High,” he laughed. “But no, I never got on any bucking horses, just bulls. And the PBR is the pinnacle of bull riding, and that is the organization I want to stay with. I don’t want to just ride there, but I want to be on top of that one day. I am consumed with bull riding.” Keyshawn has several people he looks up to, both in life in general, as well as in bull riding. His grandfather and his mom and dad are the important influences that helped shape his life. His grandfather was always there supporting him and his dad was there to push him. As for mom, she showed him how to work smarter, not always harder. “As far as strictly bull riding is concerned, honestly, I looked up to a lot of them. Many of them for the way they rode. There was always something I could try to take away from the way they rode, and what they did when they did make a ride. “But back in junior high I was able to get in touch with Robson Palermo. He helped me out a lot with my training, and working on more fundamentals. He was a big part of my life, and a big part of my success now. He is a great bull rider, and I still believe in him and his abilities. He has yet to win a title, but I feel he is one that
can still win it. If he doesn’t, then he doesn’t, but I still believe he still has time to win one.” His favorite ride to date? He feels that would have to be his 88-point ride on Sitting Bull back in March in Albuquerque. “Not because of how well I had ridden,” he explained with a laugh. “Honestly, I looked back at the video and think, ‘Man, it didn’t feel like I did ride that good.’ But I think it was just because a lot of my family was there from back home, and the amount of people there that I was able to bring joy and happiness to just with my ride well, it was really exciting!” Even though he has not been on the PBR tour long enough to ride at all of the venues and cities the BFTS go to, Whitehorse still has a short list. They are Madison Square Garden, Arlington, and Albuquerque. When we asked him who would be his dream bull to get on, he asked if it had to be a bull currently competing. Actually, no, and that made us even more curious. “I think Little Yellow Jacket would have been great,” he said. “Obviously he’s not the most rider-friendly bull, but just the way he looks, his attitude on things, and he’s obviously a three-time

Bucking Bull of the Year. I would love to get on that bull, because of the challenge. “Mossy Oak Mudslinger would be pretty awesome to ride too, because he gets up there, he’s up and down; you can really ride him with timing. But I think Little Yellow Jacket would be pretty cool to get on. I like the bulls now, but I have the possibility of getting on the bulls we have now. The thing is, I don’t have the chance to get on those other two bulls, and I wish I could.” As far as traveling partners, Keyshawn told us that lately he has been traveling with his parents. For the most part, the events have been within driving distance for them; St. Louis, Kansas City, Arlington, Little Rock, to name a few. Currently, besides the PBR patch, Whitehorse wears two other patches on his vest; Branded For Christ Church and In-Motion Rehab. In-Motion Rehab provides physical therapy for Keyshawn. And along those lines, he is healthy. He just goes every week so he can continue to feel good for the weekend. But while he is, as he put it, consumed with bull riding, there are other things that Keyshawn likes to do.

“I like to fish, and play basketball with my brothers. My youngest brother James loves to play basketball, and we are hoping that he will be the brother with the height so he can take the sport to the next level. “My dad has been with me my whole bull riding career, and hopefully he can follow James with his basketball games and see him play, so that will be good for my family.” Family is the magic word for Keyshawn. He likes to spend time with them and they do not even have to do anything special, he enjoys the down time and just being around them. But once at a bull riding he is a focused and determined young man who is on a mission; to make it to the top of his sport. We at Humps N Horns want to wish him good luck in his endeavor and thank him for taking the time to speak with us.

Cody Nance
12 Years With PBR and Still Going Strong By Barbara Pinnella
Cody Nance has been a professional bull rider for 12 years, and at the time of this writing is sitting 3rd in the PBR World standings. When we spoke about a month ago for this interview for Humps N Horns Bull Riding Magazine, he began with his background, and then reminded us of something that many people have either forgotten or never knew to begin with – just how hard it was back then to make it on the PBR tour. Since most fans already know recent history, it was quite interesting and informative to look back at those differences.
Tennessee, and Caleb put me on my first bull. They had some nice ones that young guys could learn on, but they were big bulls, not steers.
Cody did not start riding bulls until he was 14 years old. He remembered that because he did not yet have his permit. His stepfather rode bulls, so the connection to the sport was there. Nance rode in high school. He got his first year under his belt at local bull ridings.
“But I ended up riding him, and I won the bull riding. I got on some spinners, but you didn’t have the spinners like you have today. I had to learn how to ride them. You only drew one every now and then.”
“We had somewhere to go, at least every couple of weeks,” he told us. “Stan Wilson had a rodeo company, Lazy S Rodeo, and he used to put on a series with his son Caleb. That was in Harris,
“There was a weaker pen called the Non-Pro, and a stronger one that was the pro pen. You never knew what they were gonna do; some would turn back and some of them wouldn’t. There was one like that called Skedaddle. It took me four times to be able to ride him,” Cody laughed.
That was Nance’s first year. He progressed quickly and was able to get on some good bulls throughout that year. He won at NonPro, and was told that the next year he needed to move up to pro. But in addition to that, he got a lot of experience in high school, (competing in the High School National Finals three times), as well as the NABA (North American Bullriders Association). He also began going to some Amateur/Pro bull ridings, and doing well there, too. But his plan was always to go to the PBR. Nance admitted that the timing was perfect to meet up with now good friend Jeff Tilly. He was not living the best of lifestyles back then. A friend of Jeff ’s had a bull over at Tilly’s that Cody went to see, and the friendship with Jeff began. Along with Caleb, Cody’s uncle Sandy Burns and step-father Pete Burns, Tilly also became a big role model in Nance’s bull riding career.
Cody Nance won the Cooper Tires Invitational in Columbus, Ohio (2009) with this ride on The Game (Brandon Gasper Bucking Bulls) for 91 points in the championship round.
Humps-Horns.com · 29 · May 2018
Nance and his wife, Korie, celebrate an event win in Anaheim, California (February 2018).
“I was trying to make as much money as I could. In my sophomore, junior, and senior year in high school I was focused on going to the PBR when I turned 18. I graduated in 2006 and moved to Mississippi. I lived with Tilly and spent two years working with him on the ranch and training on his bulls. Other people would send him bulls too, like H.D. Page, so I got to get on those as well. I got on 24 bulls one day at his house, and the one bull that bucked me off was Big Tex! “That was a big breaking point in my career,” Cody told us. “He would wake me up and get me on bulls like Maximus just to get an out on them. I was like, ‘Oh my goodness, I don’t know any of these bulls,’ but that was my job. “Back then it was a lot different, it wasn’t like it is now. Now they let you make it on tour for winning on the Velocity Tour. But back then,” Cody continued, “it was money earned. You had to go win more money than the guys that were already on tour. It was really hard. You had guys that could place in the round and make $2,000 or $3,000 in one weekend. For us, we weren’t even gonna win that if we won a Discovery tour, the Enterprise tour or Challenger tour event – well, maybe the Challenger tour, because that was $20,000 added, I believe. “Now every weekend you have the Velocity tour which is $20,000 added! People don’t realize what we had to do to make it on the BFTS tour. The Discovery tour was $5,000 added, and the Enterprise tour was $10,000 to $15,000 added. There were very few of those Challenger tours.” Cody started laughing. “As we’re talking about the Discovery tour and the Challengers and all that, I’m sitting here thinking, ‘Man, a lot’s changed!’” Cody was always told to be careful who you listen to, and he paid attention, at least as far as bull riding was concerned. He chuckled when he said that was for bull riding, not for life. As previously mentioned, Nance admitted to having a wild side at one time, but he found his way out of that. Getting a job hanging guard rail for C.J. Stavinoha made a huge difference in his life, and Stavinoha is yet another person that was instrumental in shaping him as the person he is today. “With C.J., we lived in Shelbyville, Tennessee. The place was a walking horse training facility, but he took the gazebo out of the middle of the arena and put in a set of WW bucking chutes. He had about 14 head of bulls, and me and about five other guys were in charge of taking care of them. We all rode bulls and worked on his guard rail crew as well. We put in a ton of hours every week, and everything I made went right back into riding bulls. “C.J. finally said to me, ‘Do you want to take this seriously? Do you want to make it?’ I told him I did, so he said he was gonna call his
dad and try to get me into a bull riding that was in Texas the next day. His dad talked to Wayne Foltyn and got me in the bull riding that was in Victoria. C.J. had me on a plane the next morning. I think I won second and third at that bull riding.” It was that same year that one of those Challenger tour events took place in Clovis, California. Cody won that event, and with that victory was finally able to make it on the BFTS tour. That was quite a feat, considering that it was still based on money earned. He proved he was there to stay by winning or placing in several more events. One of his favorite rides came in Pueblo, Colorado when he rode Hustler in the short round to a 91.50 score. In case that name is not familiar to you, Hustler was later named Super Duty. That initial win in Clovis paid off in spades for him. Not only did that event put him on the tour that year, he won PBR’s 2009 Rookie of the Year honors as well. He has been on the PBR’s premier tour ever since. I was surprised to see that his win in Anaheim was his first win on the BFTS tour since 2014, and I mentioned to Cody that I did not realize that, considering how well he rides. But he reminded us that sometimes you don’t get the right bull, or the scores just don’t add up high enough. Sometimes it works out and sometimes it doesn’t. After that win in Anaheim, Cody and his wife Korie could have done an ad saying ‘I’m going to Disneyland’, since he and his wife spent a little time at the Magic Kingdom. “I’ve been to Disney World before but that was my first time going to Disneyland. I liked Disneyland though, because it reminded

me of when I was a kid. I like all the animation and stuff. We had a good time.” I mentioned that one of Nance’s favorite rides was the one he had on Hustler. But his number one pick was The Game, which was also back in 2009. That bull, owned by Brandon Gasper Bucking Bulls, came from Cody’s home town, and he had always wanted to get on him. He had first pick in the draft and did not hesitate to take that bull. It was a good decision, as he scored 91 points on him. If he could pick any bull that he has not had a chance to get on, it would not be one that is currently bucking. His bull of choice would be Little Yellow Jacket. “That’s the one that comes to mind,” he said. When he is not riding bulls, Cody loves to go fishing. In fact, he was getting ready to go out right after we were finished speaking.
“I love to do that, go hunting and fishing here in Tennessee. I have a lake house here, and also like to go kayaking. I get so busy I haven’t had a lot of time to do much of that. We also enjoy a lot of family time whenever we can. We have a camper, so in the down time it’s really nice to be able to have our home away from home. We enjoy that.” Besides how good a bull rider he is, Cody is also known for throwing his bandana into the stands after a ride. We wondered how that came about. “Well, everyone had a signature back then,” he said. “Renato had the back flip; you don’t have as many now, but at least half the people had something back then. I did enjoy the fans’ reactions when watching the other guys. I was just kind of thinking what I could do. So I thought, ‘Well, I could pitch my bandana or something.’ It worked. Now Cooper Tires has given me a bunch of bandanas to throw.”
Humps-Horns.com · 31 · May 2018
Cody enjoys carpentry and that type of thing, and he has always had an interest in raising some calves, more than likely beef cattle. But as far as planning exactly what he wants to do in the future, that is not set in stone. Nance has several sponsors that deserve a shout-out. They are Cooper Tires, Lincoln Electric, National Tire and Battery, Wrangler, and WSM Auctioneers. These sponsors are a great help to the bull riders they endorse. “I’ve been really blessed,” Cody concluded. “I have had awesome people in my life that have always encouraged me and helped me along the way. I might get sick of hurting sometimes, but I’ve been healthy amongst many I’ve seen. I’ve got it pretty good.” Humps N Horns Bull Riding Magazine wants to thank Cody for taking time to speak with us, and wish him good luck and continued good health.

JB MAUNEY ‘I AM NOT RETIRING’ Two-time World Champion J.B. Mauney was laying on the CT scan table inside the Sanford USD Medical Center Sunday night as the fire between his shoulder blades continued to rage. Mauney had seen similar wrecks like the one he went through in the championship round when Pearl Harbor bucked him off in 2.17 seconds and folded him up like a lawn chair. So as he laid there waiting to learn his fate, Mauney couldn’t help but worry some. “I have seen a few people hit like that and break their damn necks and be paralyzed,” Mauney, who was writhing in pain in the PBR Sports Medicine room earlier in the evening, told PBR.com on Wednesday afternoon. However, once Dr. Tandy Freeman looked over the scan with Mauney in the hospital, all Freeman had to say was six weeks before Mauney was asking: “Vegas?”
“There was one comment (on social media) that said, ‘Wicked bull. I think it is time you hang it up J.B,’” Mauney said. Just recalling the comment, pours some gasoline on Mauney’s mentality. “People that never have ridden bulls for a living trying to tell you when to hang it up is what gets me,” Mauney said. “People that don’t have a clue and don’t’ understand. They say, ‘You are hurt and beat up,’ and they want to bring my daughter into it. People don’t realize this is how I make my living. It is not like I am out there just doing this shit for fun and getting hurt and being out of a job. This isn’t just for fun. “I will decide when I am done. I still feel like in my head I can ride them. As long as I think that, I will still show up.” Mauney is well aware of the talk about his struggles in 2018 and the fact that some have questioned what he has left in the tank after struggling to fully recover from career-threatening right shoulder surgery last summer, a torn groin and broken ribs.
Freeman explained to Mauney that realistically he would likely be unable to compete at Last Cowboy Standing on May 4-6, but Mauney’s initial question is all fans need to know about Mauney’s state of mind following a wreck that caused him to break his T1 and T2 vertebrae in his upper back.
Mauney is 27th in the world standings and is a career-low 7-for-22 in eight 25th PBR: Unleash The Beast events.
The future PBR Ring of Honor inductee is not done.
However, the 13-year pro finally felt like he was figuring things back out this past weekend in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, before Pearl Harbor put a crushing end to his first half.
He is not washed up. He is not throwing in the towel.
“I would like to flush it down the toilet and start over,” Mauney said in disgust.
He isn’t scared now.
Mauney made an 87-point ride on Rocket Man in Round 2 and had a glare of fiery, confidence on his face during Championship Sunday.
And, no, he has no plans on wearing a helmet either.
Despite bucking off Get Smoked in Round 3, Mauney flashed his
Humps-Horns.com · 34 · May 2018
stereotypical, cocky smirk on the back of the bucking chutes while preparing for Pearl Harbor. He was nodding his head to the inarena music and had every bit of confidence as he stared down Pearl Harbor.
“I am not bed ridden or house ridden,” Mauney said. “They will heal on their own if I give it time. Luckily it worked out. I will take six weeks any day.”
Pearl Harbor, though, simply got the best of him.
Mauney will let the injuries heal naturally before he steps back in the arena.
And it was costly.
Work and Mauney will be synonymous this summer, too.
“Well, if he hangs his horn, it takes that big ole jump away from him and he falls out there spinning,” Mauney said. “I got him out clean and if you watch him, that first big jump he raises me up and when he hits it is like he swoops away from you. When he did that big ole move like that, I was a day late and a dollar short.
Mauney doesn’t plan on going to make bull ridings at all, but he is focused on getting on practice bulls all summer long to make sure everything is back to normal once the second-half 25th PBR: Unleash The Beast opener in Tulsa, Oklahoma, arrives on Aug. 11-12.
“Right now, I feel like someone beat me with a ball bat across my shoulders.”
“The first half is ruined and done with,” Mauney concluded. “I can’t do anything about it. Hell, I can try and make a run at it in the second half. This summer I am going to try and let them heal as much as I can, but I am going to try and get everything figured out before the second half.
Mauney may see Pearl Harbor in his first event back when he competes at Chad Berger’s $100,000 Match of Champions in Bismarck, North Dakota, on June 15-16. The Mooresville, North Carolina, cowboy has already attended physical therapy this week to get treatment for the muscles near his broken bones. He even bought a push lawn mower to mow his lawn on Wednesday seeing as he is unable to use a riding mower because of the jarring vibrations that could affect his back.
