Written by

The Roadrunner Restaurant and Saloon, located in New River, Arizona, will host the fourth annual Danny Custer Memorial Bull Riding School and Competition Friday, November 29th- Sunday, December 1st. Join Danny’s brother, 1992 PRCA World Champion Bull Rider, Cody Custer, along with friends and family on Saturday as a 30-head bull riding competition heats up the desert starting at 8 pm, followed by live music from The Outlaw Brothers Band (Danny Monnett, Jay Monnett, Harley Monnett, and Chuck Brinkman).

Danny Custer, an Arizona native, is celebrated and remembered as the one who had a smile that could brighten the darkest days and had the sweetest and most gentle soul. Overcoming a childhood brain injury at the age of 4, Danny graduated from high school and later became a professional rodeo cowboy. Danny won many titles for bull riding and team roping in junior rodeo, high school rodeo, and Professional Rodeo Cowboy Association (PRCA), he made finals with the National Senior Pro Rodeo Association’s (NSPRA). Danny became an accomplished horse trainer working the summers at the D-D Ranch in Big Horn, Wyoming. Danny passed away on August 2nd, 2015, at the age of 47, killed in a horse accident.

All proceeds go to Wickenburg’s Life Changers, a local nonprofit charity aiding families coping with death or illness of a loved one. Over the last three years, Danny Custer Memorial Bull Riding School and Competition have raised over $22,000 for Wickenburg’s Life Changers.

The cost to attend Danny Custer Memorial Bull Riding Competition is $5 per person.
