Green Hills Women Shelter
Annual Benefit Bull Riding Trenton, MO was once again a great
success. The stands were full with fans enjoying top-notched bull
riding while raising funds for a very worthy cause. Riders from the
Bullriders Of America provided the talent while Double S Bull Company,
Sidney, IA provided the bulls. In one round of competition followed
by a short round of rank bulls it was Ty Redman who took home the
championship. Ty scored 169 points on two bulls for a nice check of
$928.13. Jimmy Twedt scored the season's first 90-point ride to
thrill the crowd and giving him a second place finish of 169 on two and a
payday of $706.13.
As part of the ceremonies
during the event the Bullriders Of America announced that the Rookie of
the Year Award would now be called the James Graber Memorial Award in
honor of James Graber the rookie bull rider who was killed earlier this
year in a tragic car crash following an event.
 The
BOA Girls made their debut at an Extreme Bullriding Tour event at Trenton
as well. Ashley Rinn, Dana Miller and Lisa
Ellinghuysen are the BOA Girls and they will be attending
numerous BOA events promoting the association, the sport and selling BOA
t-shirts to raise funds for the year-end champion saddle and the finals
champion saddle. They kicked off their first Extreme Bullriding Tour
event with a car wash at gold sponsor Trackside Bar and Grill located
right in Trenton.. They washed 15 cars and one semi tractor, met
with fans and signed autographs. During the event they were

crowd to the autograph session following the event.
 At each event a Bull of

outstanding performance was 22 Radar who in
the short go round.
Another highlight was the
participation of four of the tours Gold Sponsors. Present and

LoriDee Meyers. Joining her in t-shirt sales was Ann Walker whose
husband Matt was working in the arena as part of the production
crew. Matt and Ann's company Walker Construction are Gold

fourth Gold Sponsor, Todd Groomes of Trackside Bar and Grill was present
