Dawson Hay is a self-described boom or bust Saddle Bronc rider, and that is evident in his 2021 season. Hay enters the 2021 NFR in fourth place in the World Standings thanks to 12 go-round wins, more than double the amount of any other season.
Hay went for more than 90 points three different times this season, including a record-tying 95 point ride on Calgary Stampede’s Wild Cherry in the short round of the Hardgrass Bronc Match in Pollockville, Alberta.
