Behind a black curtain, to the left of the bull ropes that were hanging over a metal rack, stood a 5-foot-8 Navajo cowboy preparing for one of the biggest shows of his life.

While the other 35 cowboys visited and laughed around him, Guytin Tsosie watched, listened and took in the experience that would last him a lifetime.

"You look around and you learn. It's just all a learning experience for me," Tsosie said. "I'm just taking it all in."

Tsosie spent three days at the Professional Bull Riding Built Ford Tough Series Ty Murray Invitational in Albuquerque last weekend. He was the only Navajo invited to ride in the event among the best PBR athletes in the world.
