SILVERTON, Texas – A lot of miles stood between Cody Taton and the Buck Wild Days Rodeo, but the South Dakota-raised bronc rider made the most of his trip.

Taton and his traveling posse competed in Canby, Ore., on Friday night, then drove to Boise, Idaho, to catch a flight to Denver at 6:30 Saturday morning. From there, they flew into Albuquerque, N.M., then drove as quickly as possible to this Texas Panhandle community to try his hand at one of Carr Pro Rodeo’s up-and-coming bucking horses.

“Anytime we’re entered, we like to come get on,” said Taton, who won the saddle bronc riding average championship at the 2007 Wrangler National Finals Rodeo.

It worked out just fine for Taton, who rode the Carr horse Miss Revolver for 76 points on Saturday night to finish third at the Buck Wild Days Rodeo. For that, he earned $749; Cody Anthony of Stephenville, Texas, won the bronc riding with a 78-point ride on Carr’s Sweet Emotion. Ryan Bestol of Hyannis, Neb., finished second with a 77 on Carr’s Black Smoke.

“I’d never seen that horse before,” Taton said of Miss Revolver. “It felt good. I feel like I rode good, and the horse bucked good. It was good to get one rode.”

That’s an important factor this time of year, when the tens of thousands of miles and rough rides on the backs of bucking beasts add up. But for Taton, being a veteran at this game helps.

“I’m just used to it,” he said. “The dedication it takes this time of year is pretty high, because you’ve got to go so many miles and get to the rodeo and have a good attitude about things. I love what I do, so that helps a lot, too.”
