Rodeo

Riding a buffalo was no easy feat for professional team roper Derrick Begay.

In their short professional careers, the Biggie Smallz wild horse racing team is making a name for themselves.

Last year Renielle Sells was a contender in the women’s all-around race at the Gallup Intertribal Indian Ceremonial Rodeo.

As a last-minute addition, Wyatt Betoney came into his own and made the most of his stay while competing at this year’s Megabucks.

In what is being called a “natural fit,” the Megabucks bull riding will open the 98th Annual Gallup Inter-Tribal Indian Ceremonial this weekend.
