World Champion Bull Rider Cody Snyder and the Swift Current Broncos will bring the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association Xtreme Bulls to Swift Current on May 25.

It’s the Swift Current Cody Snyder Xtreme Bulls Invitational Bull Riding presented by Redhead Equipment, at the Innovation Credit Union i-Plex, followed by the Crutch’s Party in the Dirt Cabaret, featuring the bold, brilliant, and badass country group… Nice Horse!

Xtreme Bulls features the world of rodeo’s top professional bull riders taking on Canada’s most notorious bucking bulls. “We are extremely excited to be bringing Xtreme Bulls to Swift Current. The event will feature World & Canadian Champion cowboys and will be a great way to celebrate spring and to support the Swift Current Broncos Hockey Club,” commented Cody Snyder.

Some of the riders expected to compete, barring injury, are reigning Canadian Champion, Wacey Finkbeiner, PRCA World Champion J.W. Harris and Maple Creek Saskatchewan’s own Jared Parsonage; plus many other top riders are among the 30 competing.

The event begins at 7 p.m. and is followed by the Crutch’s Party in the Dirt Cabaret featuring Nice Horse in the Innovation Credit Union i-Plex curling rink immediately following the bull riding, with doors opening at 9 p.m. The cabaret is presented by the fine folks at Crutch’s Plumbing and Heating.

This event will also feature world-class bulls from Canada’s top stock contractors, including the great CFR & NFR bucking bull Brahma Boots Chrome from Outlaw Buckers.

Also, up for grabs at the Swift Current Invitational is over $25,000 in prize money, which counts towards the National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas and the Canadian Finals Rodeo in Red Deer.
