2025 Stetson Wright Invitational

As the bucking chute swings open, the world seems to pause. Time slows as cowboy and bull face off in a duel of grit and raw power. The thud of hoofbeats shake the arena floor as the sound of heartbeats echo off the arena walls, the audience held captive on the edge of their seats. The unspoken bond between cowboy and bull is put to the test in an 8-second ride that seems to last a lifetime. Only when the final buzzer pierces the air is the spell broken, and the world snaps back to life. No one is more familiar with that thrilling feeling than 8x PRCA World Champion bull rider and saddle bronc rider Stetson Wright. 

A dominant force in the rodeo world, the Wright family is no stranger to big falls and bigger wins. Every bull and bronc is an opportunity to showcase their rodeo prowess and unfaltering dedication to the beloved, adrenaline-pumping sport. In celebration of their rodeo legacy and love of good-ole rodeo fun, Stetson Wright and Legacy Pro Rodeo are proud to present the 5th annual Stetson Wright Invitational in Mona, Utah on May 23rd and the Wright family hometown, Minersville, Utah May 24th.

“These two nights will be a showcase of world-class bull riding, set against some of the most stunning backdrops imaginable. I believe that this will fast become one of the most important weekends in professional rodeo, so mark your calendars.”

Patrick Witham
Legacy Pro Rodeo President
