2009

 

Stock Contractor: Mosbrucker Rodeo

 

War Chick, the bronc that 5-time World Champion Billy Etbauer rodeo for 88.5 pts to win the 7th round of the 2007 WNFR, will be among the talent at the 2009 Mandan Rodeo.

 

Mosbrucker Rodeo of Mandan had seven horses selected for the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo in 2007. Taos Muncy won the 7th round in the saddle bronc riding on #34 Silver Moon with a score of 87.5 enroute to his first world championship. Five-time world champion Billy Etbauer won the 8th round in the saddle bronc riding aboard #000 War Chick with a score of 88.5. Three-time world bareback riding champion Will Lowe won the 10th round with an NFR record-tying score of 91.5 on #305 Magic Wars. Magic Wars was also voted the top bareback horse of the 2007 Wrangler National Finals Rodeo.

 

Mark Gomes, 1998 World Bareback Champion, wins the first round at Cheyenne last year on Mosbrucker's Moon Blast with an 88 pt. ride.

 

 

Announcer

 


Tim Fuller of Claremore, Oklahoma, will be the voice of the Mandan Rodeo in 2008. He brings 18 years of professional rodeo announcing experience. Fuller’s announcing successes include the Dodge National Circuit Finals Rodeo in Pocatello, Idaho; the National High School Finals Rodeo, and the Miss Rodeo America Pageant.

Fuller’s path to becoming a rodeo announcer was rocky. He previously worked construction all over the United States. In 1990, he was in Wichita, Kansas, rebuilding a hospital that had been destroyed by a tornado. He was three stories up when he was knocked to the ground, landing on his right leg!

Five surgeries and three years of physical therapy later, Fuller was walking … and talking. A former rodeo competitor in the bareback riding, team roping and steer wrestling, Fuller says, “I was never very good, but I could always talk, so 18 years later...hear I am!”

Fuller still works some construction jobs, plus does voice work and television commercials. He also serves as master of ceremonies for farm and agricultural shows around the country. His hobbies include hunting, fishing, and attending junior bullriding events with his wife and son, a two-time national champion at age 14.

Fuller says, “I love the sport of rodeo and am thankful for the opportunity to be involved with a part of our western heritage!”
