When Billy enters up, he comes to ride and ride he can! He has already captured the attention of his peers, producers and stock contractors. He has proven over and over again that he can ride anybody's rankest horse on any given day. Billy Hopes that the future will bring better sponsor support and public recognition for Bareback riding and bare back riders. One goal that stands out in Billy's thoughts is to help expose this rapidly growing sport and professionalism, sacrifice and athletic ability that it takes for a bareback riders to succeed.
His recommendation for becoming a "World Class" bare back rider is to stay in school and get a good education.It's a tough business, being successful and recognized is difficult. A good education is beneficial, especially if don't acquire success! Your education will always be there for you to fall back on.
