Kade Bruno Impresses on J Bar J’s Straight Moonshine to Win it All at Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo

Saddle Bronc Rider Kade Bruno is your Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo Champion.

Kade Bruno started the 2025 Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo the same way he would end it, on top of the leaderboard. A rematch with J Bar J’s Straight Moonshine would be worth 92 to land Bruno the win.

“Man, that horse is so cool. I was 92 on her last time I got on it. She bucks right there, gives you every chance to do your job. I couldn’t ask for a better rodeo to have a rematch with her,” Bruno said.

After sweeping Bracket 1, Bruno earned his way into the Finals with a second-place finish in the Semi-Finals. With nothing below an 87 next to his name in Fort Worth, Bruno has kicked off his Texas Swing perfectly.

Behind Bruno, Statler Wright, Gus Galliard and Zeke Thurston round out the Top 4 from the Final Round at the Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo.
