American Hat Co. Positive Times: Dusty Tuckness

Dusty Tuckness is a household name in the sport of rodeo.

When Tuckness was injured in Round 9 at the National Finals Rodeo, he was told he would be out of commission for six months to a year. He had surgery the morning of Round 10 and is already in the process of rehabbing and making a comeback.

“Leg is feeling good. See the doctor Tuesday for more of an update. Return time is God’s timing, but I believe on the shorter end. It’s through the hard times when you much challenge yourself to be positive. It’s hard to appreciate the valleys until you’re looking back from the mountain top. Life is about highs and lows and it defines your true character,” Tuckness said.

We can’t wait to see Tuckness back in the arena doing what he does best soon.
