Ben Jones PBR Membership Withdrawn

Image
As many bull riding fans caught the news Monday in a PBR ( Professional Bull Riders) statement that reads "following several incidents of conduct detrimental to the sport and a violation of probationary terms, Ben Jones’ PBR membership has been withdrawn as of today. He will no longer be competing in PBR-sanctioned events" . Having heard rumor to this we reached out to PBR's media team to get conformation on the circulating rumors. As many of you know in today's social media world speculation and rumors can get out of control very quickly. A few rodeo facebook groups were quick to fill up the comments sections with all kinds of off the wall comments regarding the press release with many jumping to conclusions, and some offering support.

It is not an uncommon thing to see the youth of today strive to become the same thing that their parents already are. Now imagine being a world class bull rider and seeing your child strive to be the same thing.

Ronny Kitchens has made a lifetime out of spurring bulls and making money. In many people views he rates up there with the best in the world.

Ronny nodded his head and put on the good old cowboy try just a few outs before his son followed right behind him. When we caught up with Ronny after the performance we could ...

As the rodeo world know this weekend a world champion put together the numbers to win an event in bull riding.  What many may not know is in the little town of Mt. Vernon Missouri something else huge happened in the competitive rodeo world. Barrels 4 Boobies may not be front page news on all the big rodeo publications but its value was just as big as any other event. On Sunday October 9th barrel racers from all over converged on Longhorn Arena for a one day barrel race, this race raised money for their local breast cancer treatment organization. over 170 open barrel racers along with a good number of youth and peewee jockies may not sound like a big amount but the fact is watching the competition you would have thought there was a couple million dollars on the line. One of the reasons we want to take a moment and feature this event was not only that The Pepper Stewart Show was lucky enough to have a team on location but also the spirit that goes int...
