Watching a Legacy Continue ~ Ronny Kitchens

Many of us often think about what it will be like to to watch our children follow in our foot steps. 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. We all know that the sport of bull riding is full of danger and chance, so just imagine having competed in the sport for a life time to only turn around and see your child strive to be just like you.

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. Recently while at what will be one of his final performances of his amazing career he strapped on his spurs at Bucking Hunger in Cleburne TX. 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 not help but ask what it is like to not only watch your son ride but know you are competing with him. In true cowboy fashion Ronny just answered with "its a neat deal". 

We all know that there tends to be a deep legacy in the sport of rodeo and it is not always uncommon to find the child of a competitor getting on just like their parent did, the amazing part of this situation is you do not often see Bull Riding families still competing together. This example is a true testament to the grit and toughness that Ronny Kitchens brought to the sport of Bull Riding. It simply takes a lot of years of preserving ones body and mind to make a career last this long in a sport where it is not if you get hurt but when. 

The Pepper Stewart Show wants to give a tip of the hat to the legend Ronny Kitchens, it will be a long time before, if ever another guy with the heart and try of Rock'n Ronny Kitchens..
