YOUTH SCHOLARSHIP EVENTS ADDED TO CHARRO CALA AND ESCARAMUZA COMPETITIONS Youth participation in the western equestrian world continues to grow and it’s not limited to just rodeo and events like team roping and reined cow horse classes. Youth are also saddling up for Escaramuza and Charro Cala competitions and they’re riding for the Fort Worth Stock Show where they’ll compete for $22,000 in scholarship awards in 2023. The new classes are scheduled for January 28 in the Will Rogers Coliseum. The Texas Invitational Escaramuza and Charro Cala Competition for adults follows on January 29. TUCKNESS TO RETURN TO FWSSR IN 2023 Ten time PRCA Bullfighter of the Year, Dusty Tuckness, will return to Dickies Arena after recuperating from a major injury sustained at the 2021 Wrangler National Finals Rodeo. Recovery from a left leg fracture – both the tibia and fibula – kept Tuckness from working what would have been his 14th Stock Show. Grit, determination and the discipline necessary for rehab brought Tuckness back into action this July when he worked the Cheyenne Frontier Days. “We knew Dusty’s tenacity, work ethic and character brought him back from a major injury in a short period of time,” said Stock Show President and General Manager Brad Barnes. “We’ll be thrilled to welcome Dusty back knowing that he, Nathan Harp and Evan Allard will have our bull riders’ backs when the chips are down.”
