Weston Timberman put together a great rookie season and has locked up the Resistol Rookie of the Year in bareback riding. Timberman is the lone rookie to make the NFR and heads to Las Vegas at No. 7 in the PRCA World Standings.

San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo, $8,250

Timbermna’s season got a big boost early on at the San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo where he got his first taste of big-time rodeo and advanced to the Finals thanks to a win in the Wild Card Round. That Go-Round win paid him $5,000.

Resistol Rookie Roundup, $3,136

Like he did so many times during the regular season, Timberman proved he was the top rookie at the Resistol Rookie Roundup. He opened the rodeo with a 77-point ride. While that ride only earned him fifht place money, he would go to the Finals where he was 85 points on Pickett Pro Rodeo’s Night Star to win the rodeo.

Battle Born Broncs, $7,840

Timberman’s next win after the Rookie Roundup came in Fallon, Nevada. Timberman was marked 88 points and took home the title that came with a $7,800 payday, besting a Top 5 that included fellow NFR qualifiers Taylor Broussard, Cole Franks, Cooper Cooke and R.C. Landingham.

Lea County PRCA Rodeo, $8,425

Timberman posted one of his Top 5 rides of the season at the Lea County PRCA Rodeo where he was 89.5 points on Secret’s Out. Timberman took the Lea County crown and earned over $8,000. That same weekend, he also took second at the Northeast Montana Fair and Rodeo and fifth at the Missoula Stampede.

Canby Rodeo, $4,900

Anytime a rookie goes for 90 points it is notable, and Timberman did that on more than one occasion throughout the year. He was 90 points in Canby to get the win on Youkon Rambler. The win came with a $4,900 payday and was the very next weekend after Lea County.

Pendleton Round-Up, $9,836

Timberman put together a great late-season run, beginning with the Pendleton Round-Up where he made nearly $10,000. An 89-point ride highlighted his rodeo to win the Finals and the Average on Sankey Pro Rodeo & Phenom Genetics’ Land O’ Fancy.

North Dakota Roughrider Cup, $18,260

Timberman ended his season with a bang at the Roughrider Cup. He was crowned champ after a career-best 91-point ride. Timberman would add over $18,000 to his earnings with the win, which helped him move up two spots in the final month of the regular season.
