Saddle Bronc of the Year Blood Brother to Retire
Sunday November 30, 2008
In a story reported by Kathy Brown of the Gillette News Record, the 14-year-old bucking horse and 2008 Saddle Bronc of the Year Blood Brother (a title shared with Cool Alley of Kesler Championship Rodeo), owned by Burch Rodeo will retire at the end of the 2008 NFR.
The small firecracker of a horse has taken bronc riders such as Billy Etbauer, J.J. Elshere, and Taos Muncy to the pay window consistently over the 11 years he's been bucking. His owners Chad, Matt and Max Burch have decided to retire the horse to their ranch because he's getting a bit stiff and the travel is beginning to wear on him, which is an excellent illustration as to how well these animals are loved and cared for by stock contractors and cowboys alike. Blood Brother is one excellent horse and he will be missed.
