Buckin’ In The Boonies

Buckin’ In The Boonies Buckin in the Boonies is just that. Bull riding out in what seems like the middle of nowhere. We produce family friendly bull ridings that are fun for everyone.

Hosted by Jake and Andrea Jessup, right in their backyard arena located north of Athens, MI.

It was a PACKED house here last night!
We get an overwhelming sense of gratitude every time we host an event here, and last night was pretty much the biggest crowd we’ve ever had here. Needless to say Andrea was fighting back the urge to get emotional during our National Anthem being played. It’s hard to put into words how thankful we are to everyone that comes to watch, participate, enter up, work, and come to support what we do. We appreciate everybody that comes here.

With 10 riders entered up and 20 bull outs, Hayden Brayton was the only one with a qualified ride last night and went home with a pocket full of money. Congratulations Hayden!

Our next and 6th event of the season is is September 26th. We have a couple cool things planned for this next one so stay hooked and keep an eye out for a some exciting announcements coming soon!!

Did anyone see our big guys Tuesday evening over in Marshall? 877 Mouse, and 564 Dumbo had a guys night out. It’s been a while since they’ve been hauled, but they still both got their jobs done and both bucked their riders off. Thankful for the opportunity. 🙏

Our next event here at home on the schedule is coming up for 8/29!!

Caught a little nap time session while watering this am. We managed to come up with names for all the 2026 calves. 🤩
If you look close, you can see the older boys,(Ratatouille, Red Bull, and Fancy Pants) have sprouted their horns. 😊
