The road has been long, but saddle bronc rider Wade Sundell hasn’t lost his passion for rodeoing.
“I don’t know anything else,” Sundell laughed. “I don’t want to do anything else; I would do this the rest of my life if I could.
“So, I guess I’ll just get as much done now while I still can.”
Sundell claimed his first victory of the 2021 ProRodeo season with an 89-point ride aboard Dakota Rodeo’s Jimmy at the Guymon (Okla.) Pioneer Days Rodeo on April 30.
The victory was worth $3,638 along with ProRodeo Tour points but it represents so much more to Sundell, who knows better than many about the fleeting nature of a career riding bucking horses.

KISSIMMEE, Fla. – When bareback rider Cole Reiner qualified for the 2020 Wrangler National Finals Rodeo, he wasn’t just happy to be there.
The PRCA | Resistol Rookie of the Year placed in seven rounds and won Rounds 6 and 9 to finish fifth in the PRCA | RAM World Standings with $154,325.
“It was a great experience,” said Reiner, 22. “I was happy to win rookie of the year and qualify for the NFR, but I wanted to do well at the NFR and to do as well as I did against the other 14 best guys in the world was an incredible feeling.”
Reiner will try and make another memorable debut when he competes in his first RAM National Circuit Finals at Silver Spurs Arena in Kissimmee, Fla., April 8-10.

ARLINGTON, TX – RFD-TV’s The American Rodeo Presented by Durango Boots has crowned its 2021 champions, and each of these winners, for the first time in the American Rodeo history, are all from the top 10 world invitees, each taking home $100,000 in prize money. Because no qualifier won their event, there was no million dollar bonus this year, and now the million will carry over to next year to potentially turn someone into the next multi-million dollar cowboy.
