(Seguin) – Those wanting to get a jumpstart on cheering on some cowboys before next week’s Guadalupe County Fair and PRCA Rodeo can do so this Sunday during the Backyard Bull Riders (BBR) Seguin Showcase. BBR Productions Where Legends Begin will again be bringing the pre-fair event back to Seguin this Sunday at 2 p.m. at the Guadalupe Rodeo Arena. Mike King, one of the founders of BBR, says the event gives bull riders of all levels the chance to gain some experience in competition. He says this weekend, Seguin will welcome anywhere from 35 to 40 bull riders. “It’s just a good thing for the community to come out and see and witness firsthand because a lot of these guys are local guys and not only are some of them local guys but there
are some from like maybe Houston or maybe some from Dallas, maybe some from Brazil, maybe some from Australia. There’s going to be a variety of people here competing for the bull riding and right now, I figured the payout is going to be about $10,000 for these guys. So, it’s not just a hobby for them,” said King. While these guys and gals might not be world champions, King says they all come with plenty of good talent making the BBR a very exciting and sometimes intense show. “The PRCA Rodeo is coming to town next week and it’s definitely a little bit different venue because there’s better riders, there are ropers, there are barrel racers, there are bull riders but just to showcase the bull riding because everybody waits for the bull riding.
