They are stock contractors and also sell the animals they raise. Others, now owned by PBR stock contractors, that are currently bucking on the pro circuit include Palace Station Express, Lyons King, Vicademus and Rodeo Red. Lyons said men and women compete together in the barrel racing. She said the bull riding begins about 6 p.m. and is limited to 25 riders. She said the payout depends on the number of entries.
Riders come from all around Oklahoma and Texas.
Lyons said the event is well attended because everyone likes to come to Ardmore's Hardy Murphy Coliseum. The recent renovations make the coliseum ideal for this type of event. Both the barrel racing and the bull riding have open entries and participants enter when they get there. Concessions will be available.
