Bradley Tries Harder … and Wins!

Harter washes away Houston disappointment on the road

Veteran saddle bronc rider Bradley Harter wasn’t about to let a little thing like a disappointment at RodeoHouston get in his head. He just got out on the road again March 19-21 and went about the business of winning paychecks.

After failing to make it out of his Super Series bracket at RodeoHouston, Harter won at the Rio Grande Livestock Show & Rodeo in Mercedes, Texas, and the Goliad County Fair PRCA Rodeo in Goliad, Texas. He also tied for second place at the DeRidder (La.) Lions Club PRCA Rodeo.

It all added up to $3,089, a little more than three times what he banked at Reliant Stadium in Houston.
