Stetson Wright knows bronc and bull riding. Born in southern Utah into the Wright rodeo dynasty, Wright has bronco riding in his blood. Raised between Minersville and the rodeo circuit, he would rise to become three-time bronc and bull riding world champion and one of only two riders to win an all-around world champion title out of the state of Utah.

Now, at just 21, Wright wants to give back to the place that gave him roots and where his love of the rodeo began. At 7 pm on May 8, 2021, Stetson is set to host the inaugural Stetson Wright Bull Riding Invitational at the Beaver County Fairgrounds in Minersville, Utah.

Tickets are available at stetsonwright.yapsody.com.

Thirty of the world’s best bull riders, many of whom have just returned from NFR (National Finals Rodeo), have eagerly accepted their invitations, and so too have a handful of mini bull riders. While the earnings at this event are larger than almost any other amateur competition, the riders are more excited to come and support Wright’s vision—to bring the rodeo and cowboys back to southern Utah.
