In October PRORODEO announced the recipient of the 2024 Polaris Remuda Stock Contractor Award.
The stock contractor honored with the best pen of bucking horses brought to PRCA rodeos this year was Pickett Pro Rodeo, based in Fairfield, Texas.
The annual Remuda Award goes to the stock contracting firm that provides the best, most consistent pen of bucking horses, creating the best opportunities for contestants to score well.
Pickett Pro Rodeo added another honor to its long list of accomplishments with its first Remuda Award.
“It’s very special,” says owner Cullen Pickett. “It’s one of the ultimate achievements to have your stock recognized as some of the best.”
The contractor also received word that 11 of its bareback horses and one of its bulls will appear at the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo presented by Teton Ridge on Dec. 5-14, 2024.
Soon after, Pickett Pro Rodeo’s Night Crawler was named Pendleton Whisky’s Let’er Buck Bareback Riding Horse of the Year for the second straight season. The award was presented at the PRCA Awards Banquet held in Las Vegas this past weekend (pictured).
“It’s unbelievable to have the best horse in the world in the bareback riding and then to have the best set of horses,” Pickett said. “It’s pretty unbelievable.”
The Remuda Award for stock contractors highlights more than one great bucking horse and recognizes the consistency displayed by a pen throughout an entire season.
“It’s a long season, and it’s about how your stuff holds up,” Pickett said. “Is it as good at the end as it is at the start and in the middle and everywhere in between? That’s key. And when you go somewhere, the contestants, committees and other stock contractors know that you’re going to bring the best, no matter what time of year or where the rodeo is.”
Congratulations to Cullen Pickett and Pickett Pro Rodeo!
