7+ hour, 21+ min ago (1115+ words) Rocker Steiner and Stetson Wright were among the nine world champions crowned on the final day of the National Finals Rodeo at the Thomas & Mack Center. Bareback rider Rocker Steiner held more than a $103,000 lead in the standings entering the final night of the National Finals Rodeo, but the 2025 world title was still up in the air entering the 10th round of the Super Bowl of rodeos. Steiner took measures in his own hands in his final NFR ride, making sure he wouldn't finish a spot short of the world title for a second straight year. The 21-year-old cowboy posted a score of 90.50 points in his bareback riding go-round to finish second, which gave the Weatherford, Texas, native enough earnings to win his first world title Saturday night at the Thomas & Mack Center. "This is everything I've ever wanted, dreamt about,…...

Horses and bulls that appeared earlier in the week, including Round 5, are back in the mix as the 2025 NFR reaches its final night. For the athletes, this means opportunity and the pressure has arrived. There is no holding back now as the final horses and bulls are loaded in the yellow chutes. The Round 10 bareback draw offers several proven matchups that could directly influence the world title race. Rocker Steiner drew Disco Party from the Calgary Stampede, a horse that was out in Round 5 and helped Jacek Frost score 86.5 points. A ride in that range, or higher, would likely be enough to secure Steiner his world championship. With Rockers style,…...

Stetson Wright is poised to win his sixth all-around championship, and several other world titles will be decided Saturday on the final night of the National Finals Rodeo. Hayden Welsh chooses not to dwell on what could have been. Back in January, he made the decision to remain on his permit, a move that seemed prudent. The itinerant Texas cowgirl doesn't come from privilege or money. So when she decided to see how far her love of horses would take her in a long-shot bid to qualify for the NFR, sacrifices were made. For 17 years now, Wrangler NFR bullfighter Dusty Tuckness has made it a point to give some of his time to the Exceptional Rodeo. This year, that time came Thursday morning at the Thomas Mack Center....
