Ben Jones PBR Membership Withdrawn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incidents of conduct detrimental to the sport and a violation of probationary terms, Ben Jones’ PBR membership has been withdrawn as of today.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.

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 into al
