Round 3 of the NFR brought the heat yet again with a stacked field of incredible rides. We saw a back to back win for California Bronc rider Lefty Holman for a whomping 90.5 points, a lightning fast run from Team Roping duo Tanner Tomlinson and Patrick Smith for 3.6 seconds, a SPLIT for first place in the bull riding for 90 points from JR Stratford and Garrett Smith, and incredible 6.9 second run by the Green Machine, Cory Solomon in the Tie Down Roping. We’re loving the energy and the fierce competition in the Thomas & Mack this season!
