A bullrider from Muskogee hasn’t been bucked off a bull the last 14 rides, and he hopes to keep that momentum going at this week’s International Finals Youth Rodeo.
Dustin Leatherman, 17, grew up around bullriding and began riding calves at a young age.
Along with rodeo, which runs in his family, so does the funeral home business, so Leatherman said he wants to become a mortician.
He’s had a busy summer and just returned from camp at Falls Creek, but Leatherman is ready to rodeo in his first IFYR this week.
To get ready for each run, he said he will, “pray, bear down and run.”
Leatherman is the son of Liz and Dennis Elledge.
