Buttar’s breathtaking journey highlights the resilience and determination of bull riders aiming for glory! Accompanying him, Tyler Craig, Conner Halverson, and some impressive bull athletes made this year’s PBR Canada event unforgettable, capturing the spirit of competition and a deep appreciation for the bulls themselves.”
A history-making win
“Dakota Buttar, hailing from Eatonia, Saskatchewan, secured his place in the annals of PBR Canada history with a resounding victory at the 2023 PBR Canada National Finals in Edmonton, emerging as the fourth rider to win the title in multiple seasons. Breaking his collarbone a month before the event could not deter him, completing a spectacular 4-for-4 outing to clinch his victory. With each ride, Buttar’s tenacity and skill shone bright, securing his place in the record books. With an additional $100,000 bonus to his credit, Buttar’s exemplary performance embodied the spirit of the PBR Canada Championship.”
Let’s talk about the bulls
“Tyler Craig, with his impressive performance at the Finals, made sure his presence was felt. Riding a perfect 4-for-4, he finished 3.5 points ahead of the runner-ups Buttar and Macaulie Leather in the aggregate. His fearlessness and skill propelled him to victory at this year’s event and solidified his reputation as an exceptional bull rider. Moreover, the stunning performances of Bull of the Year, Built Tough, and YETI “Built for the Wild” Bull of the National Finals, Blue Magic, and Grand Funk, showcased the true spirit and power of bull riding.”
A celebrated community
“PBR Canada celebrated not only the talent and dedication of bull riders and their awe-inspiring bull counterparts but also awarded remarkable achievements among stock contractors, with Nansen Vold winning the prestigious Stock Contractor of the Year for an unprecedented 10th time. Crowning the event, the Rose City Invitational was voted this year’s PBR Canada Event of the Year, adding yet another successful edition to their legacy. It’s truly awe-inspiring to witness the sense of community, sportsmanship, and celebration that brings people together in the world of bull riding.”
An unforgettable season
“These phenomenal athletes have displayed unwavering dedication and passion throughout the season, inspiring a new generation of bull riders and fans. From rookie of the year Conner Halverson to Nick Tetz, the winner of the Glen Keeley Award, their contributions to the sport are immeasurable. As we look back on the 2023 PBR Canada National Finals, the displays of talent, heart, and community spirit will resonate with fans around the world. We can’t wait to see the incredible heights that the next season will reach.
