We've got some more Muttin' Busters coming at you!

We’re excited to introduce Hudson Gehlher, who will be muttin’ bustin’ at the rodeo on Saturday!

Hudson just turned 8 and is always on the move. He loves playing with his Army toys, building Legos, and spending as much time outside as he can. When he’s not busy being a kid, he’s helping out on the farm with the cows, chickens, and sheep.
He’s got a big heart, a lot of grit, and we can’t wait to watch him take on the arena. Cheer him on! 💪
