Top Money Earners of Cowboy Christmas: Bareback rider Caleb Bennett

Eight-time NFR bareback rider did not make it to rodeo’s biggest stage last year, but the roll he was on during through the 4th of July will go along way to getting him back to Las Vegas.

Over the weekend, he was 90 in Prescott and then he was 91.5 in Cody. Both of those wins earned him more than $5,000.
