If you can see under my belly, I proudly wear a Montana Silversmiths buckle on my belt. It’s classy. It’s pretty. It’s rodeo.

There are a lot of people who wear a Montana Silversmiths buckle, some of which are golden. In fact, any person crowned ProRodeo world champion since 2000 wears a gold buckle made by Montana Silversmiths, so there are a lot of them.

For 11 years, Montana Silversmiths been the official buckle sponsor of the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association, making Montana Silversmiths the longest running buckle sponsor ever.

So what buckle company had the buckle sponsorship right before Montana Silversmiths, and how many years did that company have the sponsorship?
