Episode notes
In this episode of Beyond the Chutes, host Doug Simcox sits down with Rick Bevington—roughstock cowboy turned respected pro rodeo judge—at the 2nd Annual King Brothers Rodeo Reunion in Lewisburg, Ohio.
Rick shares his unforgettable journey from riding bareback horses, saddle broncs, and bulls across the Midwest in the late '70s to becoming a seasoned rodeo official with over 40 years of judging experience. You’ll hear firsthand stories of riding three events, sleeping in the back of a pickup truck with 12 guys, hauling to Bass Lake and Cowtown, and how the rodeo game has evolved—from scoring systems and gear changes to today’s rule shifts in the IPRA.
