What is Youth Athlete of the Year?
Learn MoreHis favorite is Calf riding or trying to rope off his horse who is just getting started. He also likes all his rodeo buddies.
His older brothers are bull riders and chute doggers. He’s watched them and admired them. They also train horses for a living. Addyson(his oldest brothers girlfriend) who sadly passed away last year at 14 years young put all her faith in Benny and taught him how to barrel race and pole bend at just 3 years old. Losing her really hurt him but he carries on her name proudly! And rides a lot like her.
His fierce determination. Even when he doesn’t always win he always has a smile on his face. And tells others good job. True sportsmanship. Benjamin has Shwachman Diamond Syndrome and ADHD with Autistic Tendencies. So his health has been a factor his whole life but he pushes through it even when he doesn’t feel like it or feel good.
