FORT WORTH, Texas (Jan. 25, 2023)—There are several reasons that the Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo (FWSSR) was selected as the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association’s Large Indoor Rodeo of the Year, and one of those is the animals._x000D_
_x000D_
The rodeo also received the 2022 Remuda Award because of the livestock that was featured in competition in Dickies Arena. This year’s rodeo draws 20 different stock contractors from across North America who bring their best to be part of the $1.2 million FWSSR ProRodeo Tournament._x000D_

With the animals and the cowboys getting scores in bareback, saddle bronc and bull riding, it’s important to have bucking stock that provide the best opportunity. Tanner Butner from Daniel, Wyoming has been on both sides of the equation and was really excited to be on the top here on Tuesday night._x000D_
_x000D_
Butner, who is coming off his first Wrangler National Finals Rodeo (NFR) was the saddle bronc riding star of Bracket 3. He was the last man to ride on Wednesday night and moved high on the top of the leaderboard with an outstanding ride aboard Andrews Rodeo Company’s horse named All or Nothin’. Not only did he win first place; he added his name to the history books with a 94-point ride setting an FWSSR record for the highest marked ride in the history of the rodeo._x000D_

Butner failed to cash in during Tuesday night’s first round, but by virtue of his performance on Wednesday, he will be back in Fort Worth for the semifinals. Butner’s traveling partner, Sage Newman from Melstone, Montana, finished at the top of the bracket after getting two second-place finishes. Newman won $2,640 in the bracket. Butner finished second with $1,760._x000D_

The stars of the Women’s Professional Rodeo Association were at the top of the leaderboard for the second night in a row. Kelsie Domer, last year’s Fort Worth breakaway roping champion, finished in first place in both rounds. She has earned $3,520 here so far and will advance to the semifinals._x000D_
_x000D_
Domer, of Dublin, Texas, finished 20th in the world last year, thanks in part to a FWSSR win. She competed through May of the 2022 season, but then stayed home preparing for the birth of her and husband Ryan Domer’s first child, Oaklynn, who arrived in August._x000D_
_x000D_
Jordon Briggs won this rodeo in 2009 and is on pace to do it again. The Tolar, Texas, resident finished first in both rounds with times of 16.58 and 16.47 respectively. She also has earned $3,520 and will advance to the semifinals._x000D_
_x000D_
Korbin Rice, from Hobbs, New Mexico, and Reed Lewis Boos, from White Cloud, Kansas, have not made it to the NFR, and are not the most well-known team ropers in the field. That could change. They qualified for the FWSSR ProRodeo Tournament by winning the Johnson County Sheriff’s Posse Rodeo in Cleburne, Texas, last June. Being the new kids on the block didn’t faze them one bit._x000D_
_x000D_
With Rice doing the heading and Boos heeling, they stopped the clock in 5.4 seconds in round one, good for third place. They finished second in round 2 with a 6.6. Qualifying to compete here was a big step. Now they are taking the next step toward the championship by advancing to the semifinals with $2,200 won._x000D_
