D V Fennell Bareback Rider - Final Night at Wrangler National Finals Rodeo - Oklahoma / Missouri Cowboy Wins a Third Place.
It wound down last night... but it was a big wind down.
D V came out on a horse named "Dirty Jacket".
That horse came out of that chute in a wild high jump but she didn't lose D V. In fact that would have been a common spot for many cowboys to fail to mark their horse out because Dirty Jacket was high and had a twist in the middle of the jump. It also looked D V's shoulder took a hit from the chute at the end of that jump that Dirty Jacket made. D V marked him perfectly.
This mom was tense watching it. I already knew his score because T V schedules were off last night and the broadcast always runs a little behind the actual rodeo... broadcast is a more condensed verson. Scores had already been posted on the Rodeo site.
For those that have been following D V during the rodeo... during this 10 day performance, he rode all 10 of his horses. Last night's ride was a third for that evening's performance and He finished at 4th place for the Total Finals Performance, competing with some more of the world's best riders and at the age of 36, he was competing with much younger riders.
He's headed home this morning... time to rest.
