A living legend of bull riding, JB Mauney has mesmerized fans for decades through his unmatched skills. Now when he is retired from the sport, Mauney serves as an inspiration for the whole of the rodeo arena. Sharing his experience with fellow riders, Mauney was pictured last year with two of the popular rodeos who have taken the NFR by storm since then.

As the 2023 season comes to a close, the riders Mauney was pictured with have delivered exhilarating rides since then winning several prestigious events on the way. As the iconic picture resurfaced on the Internet, rodeo enthusiasts were left awestruck.

JB Mauney shares valuable lessons with fellow riders

In the latest update, Teton Ridge posted the iconic picture of JB Mauney, Ky Hamilton, and Stetson Wright. The trio was spotted together prior to last year’s NFR pre-show, and Mauney is hoped to have shared his valuable insights with Hamilton and Wright. “You become the company you keep”, the caption read.

After this meet, Hamilton has had a phenomenal season. The 4x NFR Qualifier won the RodeoHouston, La Fiesta De Los Vaqueros, Ute Mountain Roundup, New Mexico, and several other events. Wright followed with dominant victories at the San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo, Santa Maria, Pendleton, Spanish Fork, Strawberry Days Rodeo, and many more victories. As the picture went viral, rodeo enthusiasts were left hailing the iconic trio as the greatest of all time.

Internet goes baffling over iconic picture

While JB Mauney is revered as the ‘boldest Cowboy’ of all time, Hamilton and Wright are surely on the path to greatness. Echoing the same, a fan commented, “My 3 favorite bull riders right there”. Being a favorite is one thing, but being the greatest is a whole unique thing. But such is their charm and dominance, that a fan went saying, “Three best bull riders of all time”.

Although the 2x PBR Champion announced retirement last year, he is still a familiar face at rodeo shows and events. One can’t get a better guide than him, and Hamilton and Wright would surely have pounced on the opportunity.

“These two have a great opportunity to learn from the best in JB”, another ardent Mauney fan commented. “Oh JB Mauney, I sure hope you make it to Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo”, another Mauney fan wished to see the 36-year-old at the live show. As the caption suggested, Hamilton and Wright are well on the path to replicating the glories of JB Mauney. “Couldn’t have been said any more clear”, a fan agreed.

As the 2024 season starts shortly, the rodeo duo would surely love to tie in with Mauney’s legacy, if not overtake him.
