Inspired Lachlan Richardson Steps Up In Huge Style

This weekend a display of how a cowboy’s honor and seizing an opportunity can result in success and achievement.

Fans know that two weeks ago in Tulsa Oklahoma Lachlan Richardson showed a big spark when he tied with Cooper Davis for the round win on night 1. Not only did Lachlan carry this success to Thackerville Oklahoma he carried some additional inspiration, and was granted a window of opportunity.

Going into the weekend Mr. Richardson was carrying the heavy weight of the loss of a friend, for many this kind of weight can often be enough to make a guy draw out and use the time to process through grieving. Not in this case, Lachlan used this as inspiration as he dedicated his weekend to riding for the one he lost. And Ride for him he did, and found huge success in the process!

This weekend’s 15/15 set up much like any other with some exceptions. Number 2 in the world and 2-time world champ J.B. Mauney was forced to sit this one out while recovering from a Hip Pointer injury he sustained the week prior in Tulsa. This set the tone for things that movies are made.

With J.B. out Lachlan was given a slot in the 15/15, drawing 7-Dust of J.A.R.S. Bucking Bulls who in 13 outs had yet to be ridden made his opportunity a tall order. Lachlan in true champion bull rider style step up and made it count. 

Riding for his lost friend and knowing the opportunity he had been given he spurred his way to a monster 92.25 ride which is second highest score of the season, the only higher this year was from the man he replaced going into the 15/15.

This 15/15 victory moved Lachlan into 15^th in the world and has set the conditions for him to look forward to an appearance at PBR World Finals this year in Las Vegas. The question will be how high up the standing will this inspiration and focus take him?
