The No. 5 ranked rookie bareback rider has a last name that is well-known in bareback riding. Kade is the youngest Berry who is following in his father and brother’s footsteps and taking on the rankest bucking horses on the professional rodeo road.
“Rodeo has just been a part of who we are and it always has been since the very start. All three of us, my big brother and big sister, we’d all pile in a big Bloomer trailer that was a five horse but somehow we squeezed six in there and we’d go to the youth rodeos,” Berry said.
The Berry kids were a part of every youth organization they could be and they took advantage of the events that called Texas home like Joe Beaver’s ropings and more.
Berry says that his big brother and big sister were there to toughen him up but they also showed him the ropes.
“They showed me a lot growing up, just horsemanship, how to be a cowboy even if you don’t want to put on your cowboy boots that day, just whatever it was. And my dad too, he’s been a really good role model for me. He kind of has a get it done attitude,” he said.
These days, the two Berry boys in the bareback riding are like iron sharpening iron.
“My big brother has been a special part of my career and I think I’m starting to be a pretty good part in his career and how we can train together... We train hard,” Berry said.
Berry got his start on a bareback horse at the Mesquite Pro Rodeo and has only gone up from there. His rookie season is just getting started.
