Unexpected events are everyday elements of life, and everyone is subject to them, and can serve to test the perseverance capacity of every cowboy or rider.
What can be said about Brad and Braxton Culperpper, father and son, who are a prominent team in roping competitions, IPRA leaders in rodeo competitions.

Attending yet another rodeo with the whole family, in August 2022 in Mound City - KS, the team's horses somehow managed to get out of the protective pen and onto the road where a pick-up truck ran over and killed them.

Everyone knows how much work it is to acquire handling and command, especially the confidence of an animal to reach a dispute, it takes a lot of time, work, dedication, care and patience with the distrust of horses.
It was very sad for my son and I to see our horses, hit on the road like dogs, they said.

Now the Palomino that Braxton will ride in IFR is a young horse that he won in roping, and the one that I will ride is also green...
After leading the races for two years in the IFR, they recognize that the plans have been delayed but for better security, now they no longer set up the corral, they leave the horses in the trailer, and declare that the possibility of giving up will never be for them a option.
