No bull, the riders were outnumbered.


The 4th Annual Double T Bullriding Blowout took place on Saturday, June 6, 2009 at the Rim Rock Rodeo Grounds. If you were there, you witnessed  some young, junior riders do their thing on the backs of those bulls. 
Garrett Jenkins, age 8, was perhaps, the youngest rider out there.
Ethan Cook,  age 12, has been riding bulls for two years now. He started out mutton busting which got him hooked for sure.
According to his dad, Steve, he loved watching bull riding at the rodeo and on television.
Ethan is an all-round athlete, playing football and   wrestling also. He is a musician able to play the guitar and the viola.  Ethan plays in the sixth grade orchestra at Fruita Middle School. He manages to keep his  grade average between 3.6 to 4.0 the whole time. His favorite subject is hard to chose, although math seems to be a favorite. His art talent centers on sculpture. His dad is proud of him.
Watch for him in the future. He could become 
a champion rider while 
he records impressive music. You never know.
