Owen Brouillette is a Louisiana bareback rider who picked up his first big career win in the PRCA in his neighboring state of Mississippi when he matched up with one of Korkow Rodeo’s best. This win makes Brouillette your Rookie Athlete of the Week.
Korkow Rodeo’s Tator Tot is a horse who helps cowboys put big numbers on the board and that is exactly what happened at the Dixie National Rodeo for Brouillette. Tator Tot was fresh off an out at the Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo with reigning World Champion Dean Thompson that was worth 88 points. When Brouillette nodded his head in Jackson, the rookie bareback rider matched that of Thompson to win it all.
The Dixie National Win added over $5,000 to Brouillette’s earnings and pushed him into the Top 5 in the Resistol Rookie Bareback Riding Standings. This kind of big win can only add momentum to his season as the Winter Run carries on and Brouillette is your Rookie Athlete of the Week.
