Three BRC Titles for Brazilian Marcos Gloria
What an amazing BRC Finals weekend!
We are so proud of all our Bull Rider contestants - these guys are riding the un-ridden!
First, Austin Nash, we haven’t stopping thinking of you and praying for your full and fast recovery. All our thoughts are with you and your family right now. ️
Austin will be having surgery for a fractured jaw and has some broken teeth, but he’s tough enough to make a full recovery!
Austin will be the guest of honor at the 2nd Annual Irricana Ag Society Ladies Night Gala and Fundraiser in support of the Bull Riders Canada Relief Foundation on March 3rd, 2018.
This non-profit Foundation was started in 2015 to assist BRC Bull Riders and Members in these unfortunate, yet sport related incidents.
To make a contribution to the Bull Riders Canada Relief Foundation to assist in Austin’s and other BRC Members’ recovery please call me directly, Jennifer Friend, at the BRC Office.
Congratulations to this year’s Champion, Marcos Gloria, who walked away with over $8,200.00 in prize money, three titles and three buckles this weekend: Season Leader, Finals Champion & National Champion!

Bull of the year title and buckle goes to Two Bit Bucking Bulls’ Happy Camper. Congratulations Berezay family!
