Sunday Rodeo Highlights at Cheyenne Frontier Days 2019:
Orin Larsen is having the best regular season of his career and showed fans at the second performance of the Cheyenne Frontier Days Rodeo just what a picture-perfect bareback ride looks like.
Larsen is from Inglis, Manitoba, but thanks to a girl, he now lives less than two hours away from Cheyenne in Gering, Nebraska. His wife Alexa’s family is from Nebraska and after she obtained her nursing degree and got a job as an ICU nurse at Regional West Medical Center in Scottsbluff, that is where he started hanging his hat.
On Sunday, he rode Sankey Pro Rodeo’s horse Fun Haver for 90 points, just three points shy of the arena record of 93 set by Joe Alexander in 1974.
Matt Palmer is one happy bull rider. The Claremore, Oklahoma resident is competing on his permit and on Sunday won more than enough money to attain full-fledged PRCA membership. He was the lone rider to last eight seconds. That meant he won all the $7,078 purse for the day. His 81.5-point ride came aboard Dakota Rodeo’s Diamond Willow. He will now get another opportunity to ride in Frontier Park. If he is successful again, he will be a contender for the championship.
A new set of contestants is making their way to Cheyenne for Monday’s rodeo. It will start with the grand opening at 12:45 PM
