Journey to million-dollar rodeo dream

The American Rodeo took to its official Instagram handle to share the inspiring story of the young rodeo prodigy Kincade Henry. Along with the video that features Kincade Henry’s experiences, they captioned the post, “Since he was 16 years old, @kincade_henry has been trying to make it to the big show at The American Rodeo. After some heartbreaking finishes over the past few years on the rodeo trail, he finally earned his spot in the big lights of Globe Life Field. That experience not only changed his life but has him more motivated than ever to chase that $1 Million payday.”

Through the latest post video, two-time national finals rodeo qualifier Kincade Henry shared his previous season experiences and encouraged his fans with his impressive winning story: “So the last couple weeks of the season of 2022 were crazy. I had two rodeos left, Spring Hill, Louisiana, and Pasadena, Texas. I thought I had to place at Spring Hill and Pasadena, and I missed at Spring Hill. And that was probably the most upset I’ve ever been.”

Apart from describing this struggle, he also shed light on his motivation and said he still had a chance to head south for the same. Thus, he proceeded to Pasadena, where he had no clue about the win. Ultimately his dream came true as he qualified for his first final. “ I’ve been trying to qualify for the American,” he concluded.
