Oklahoma’s Finest Head to Enid for Inaugural Battle on the Plains CBR Bull Riding

Joe Frost, second cousin of the late World Champion Bull Rider Lane Frost returns to Championship Bull Riding for the first annual Battle on the Plains on Saturday, January 7, 2017 at the Central National Bank Center at 8 pm. The event is the first stop in 2017 of the CBR’s twelve month nationally televised Road to Cheyenne professional bull riding tour.

Frost, a the three time National Finals Rodeo (NFR)qualifier and 2015 CBR event champion and World Finals qualifier rode four years for Oklahoma’s Panhandle State and now makes his home in Oklahoma. Frost has won $418,020.00 in the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) as professional cowboy and finished fourth in the 2016 PRCA’s World Standings.

In 2010, twenty nine years after Lane Frost won the National High School bull riding championship, Joe Frost, son of Lane’s Cousin Shane, won the title and moved to Oklahoma for his college turned pro bull riding career.
