VEGAS NFR ICON - BILLY ETBAUER – DEC. 8 SAD D LE BRO N C RI D I N G LEGEN D BI LLY ETBAU ER BECO M ES TH E by Brian Hurlburt Now in its second year, the Vegas NFR Icon honor is already a well-established tradition. Saddle Bronc Riding legend Billy Etbauer is fully qualified to accept the honor bestowed upon him this evening. Joining him in the class of 2023 is 5-time PRCA Tie-Down Roping World Champion Cody Ohl, who will be honored tomorrow evening. The annual Vegas NFR Icons Tribute Luncheon was also held earlier today at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas. At the luncheon, hosts Butch Knowles and Jeff Medders interviewed Etbauer and Ohl. In 2022, Ty Murray, Trevor Brazile and Charmayne James were honored as the inaugural class of Vegas NFR Icons. Etbauer qualified for the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo® 21 consecutive years, from 1989-2009. He earned his first gold buckle in 1992 at 29, nabbed another in 1996, then went back-to-back with world saddle bronc titles in 1999 and 2000. In 2004, at 41, he won yet another world title. In 2008, the 45-year-old Etbauer nearly got a sixth gold buckle, finishing second to Cody Wright in the world standings. And in 2009, at his final Wrangler NFR, Etbauer finished fifth in the world.

EACH NIGHT, WE SPOTLIGHT HONOREES WHO HAVE GONE ABOVE AND BEYOND THE CALL OF DUTY Dec. 8 NFR MILITARY HONORS PRESENTED BY BOOT BARN – Jack James

Jack James was a saddle bronc rider who joined the Navy in 1942. He was stationed in Pearl Harbor, Saipan, and San Francisco, and once competed in the Cheyenne Frontier Days in 1946.

Dec. 9 VEGAS NFR ICON VEGAS NFR ICON – Billy Etbauer & Let ‘er Cody Ohl & Buck Bucking Stock of NFR MILITARY the Year HONORS PRESENTED Saddle Bronc legend Billy BY BOOT BARN – Etbauer qualified for the James Taylor NFR 21 consecutive years and is the fourth to earn the Vegas NFR Icon Award. He won gold buckles in 1992, 1996, 1999 and 2000. Also, the top NFR roughstock is recognized.

Tie-Down legend Cody Ohl, a world champion with 52 NFR Go-Round wins, is the fifth Vegas NFR Icon Award winner with a banner lifted to the rafters. Also, James Taylor, a Congressional Medal of Honor recipient, is honored.

Dec. 10 MEMORIAL NIGHT

We pause to remember our fellow cowboys and cowgirls who have passed away. Their memories will forever live in our hearts and minds, and include legends on and off the dirt. They each will be missed.

Dec. 11 NFR MILITARY HONORS PRESENTED BY BOOT BARN – Dwight Birdwell & EMPLOYEE SERVICE AWARDS

Dwight Birdwell, a former Army soldier who received the Congressional Medal of Honor in 2022 for his actions in the Vietnam War in 1968, is honored. Plus, a strong team is the reason why the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo is so successful in front of and behind the scenes.


4TH N FR CHAM PI O N TO BE LI FTED TO TH E RAFTERS “It’s crazy. What an honor and a blessing,” Etbauer says. “After last year’s first icons class in Vegas, some people said it should be me next. It’s just an honor to be selected. It’s great that the NFR is doing this to promote the contestants and everything we do. I can’t thank those involved enough. There are a lot of people from the past who I feel have done a lot more than I have. So, I appreciate it.” Etbauer retired in 2011 at 48, giving him a chance to reminisce about his career and the special people along the way. Being honored as a Vegas NFR Icon will allow for additional nostalgic moments including thinking about how special it was to compete alongside his brothers, Robert and Dan, and Craig Latham, who felt like another brother.

“My wife, Hollie, was pretty sure I’d make it to be 50 and still be competing. That was the hope. I was just kind of hanging in there. I was ready to be done, but I also wasn’t ready. God hadn’t said I was done.” –Billy Etbauer, Vegas NFR Icon

“This is all because of the people who God brought into my life – my family, my friends and my fans,” Etbauer said. “The best memory is the family being able to do it all together. To me, it was everybody’s achievement, because I couldn’t have done it by myself. Plus, it wouldn’t have been as fun without them.” Besides the world titles, Etbauer collected 51 NFR go-round wins during his career, a mere one less than his good buddie, Ohl. It is fitting that the two will be honored together. “The ceremony is going to be fun. I’ve got a lot of people calling and wanting to be here,” Etbauer said. “It’s pulling some people back who haven’t been to the NFR in years. It’s just awesome.”
