A nice story about Whiskers from the AQHA.

Teller I Pass may not have had much of a career on the racetrack, but he has found a home in the rodeo world with steer wrestler Bridger Anderson, who won Round 2 at the 2020 Wrangler National Finals Rodeo aboard the 2009 bay gelding.

Teller I Pass is by Teller Cartel, who won $1.2 million in his race career and was the 2-year-old racing champion in 2005. Teller I Pass, owned by Bridger’s dad, Glenn, is out of the Holland Ease mare Holland H***y. By the end of the NFR, Bridger had earned $77,057.69 aboard Teller I Pass. Bridger also finished sixth in the average, with $16,500.

Good work Jacob Edler Professional Steer Wrestler. Also thanks Mid-Iowa Enterprise for covering his story.

ARLINGTON, Texas – There’s nothing quite like feeling rushed when a world championship is on the line.
That was the case for steer wrestler Jacob Edler, who felt a little pressure prior to his 3.9-second run during Wednesday’s seventh go-round of the National Finals Rodeo at Globe Life Park in Arlington. His steer wasn’t cooperating in the chute, and Edler was waiting him out. It paid off, and the State Center, Iowa cowboy, pocketed another $8,885 by finishing tied for fourth place in the round.
“I sat in the (timed-event) box for about a minute and a half because that steer would not look straight out the chute,” he said. “He kept turning his head back and forth; the steer has to be down for the stopwatch to stop. Time was running out, and they were about to turn the steer out. Right at the last second, I nodded.
“Everything else worked out pretty good.”
Yes, it did. Not only did Edler earn money for the fifth time in seven nights at ProRodeo’s grand championship, he also moved up a spot to No. 1 in the all-important average race, which will pay a bonus of $67,269 when the NFR concludes Saturday night. He has wrestled seven steers to the ground in a cumulative time of 30.7 seconds and owns a six-tenths-of-a-second advantage over the previous leader, Stetson Jorgensen, with whom Edler shared the Round 6 title.
“I don’t pay any attention to that,” Edler said. “I’m just going to keep bulldogging.”
That approach has worked out well. When his horse, Ditto, started to veer away from the steers during his runs, Edler made some risky jumps and still earned money in three rounds. He made a horse change prior to the sixth round, and he’s pocketed more than $32,000 in two nights since.
More importantly, he’s in position to claim the most coveted prize in the game, the Montana Silversmiths gold buckle awarded to the world champion.
“That’s why I came here,” he said. “It’s been a heck of an experience so far. I’m just going into the next three rounds like I’ve approached the last seven. I know I’m riding a great horse, so I’m going to go and do my job.”
The NFR competition is always tough, but there’s something special going on in steer wrestling, where there have been no repeat champions and 12 men have earned at least a share of a go-round win. In most years, some cowboy has separated himself from the pack by the later rounds of the event.
“I think everybody’s excited we’re even having an NFR,” Edler said. “Everybody here is a competitor and can win on any given day. These are the 15 best athletes in the world as far as steer wrestling goes. It’s been an incredible bulldogging to watch.”
Edler has a front-row seat, and he’s doing quite well. Of course, whatever earnings he can take from Arlington will be grand as he sets off to plan a wedding and a life with his fiancé, Moriah.
“It’s nice knowing we’re going to be able to have a start in life,” he said. “We’re going to leave here with a bunch of money and make down payments on a bunch of stuff we’re going to need for the future.”
That future looks pretty bright inside Globe Life Field.

Keep it rolling Jacob Edler Professional Steer Wrestler.

Jacob Edler has quietly put up solid numbers at the PRCA ProRodeo NFR Live, but he'd like to do a little more at Globe Life Field. He's making a few changes to allow that to happen. http://www.twistedrodeo.com/2020/12/08/edler-still-solid-at-nfr-ready-for-more/

Thanks Lee Timmerman and KFYR for following our North Dakota rodeo athletes. Cameron Morman, Bridger Anderson, Luke Branquinho.

Tyler and Jackie Schau have been helping steer wrestlers for years at their place west of Almont. Cameron Morman and Bridger Anderson are two recent examples of their success.

11/09/2020

Had a great weekend with Luke Branquinho, Cameron Morman, and Bridger Anderson at our 3rd annual fall steer wrestling school. Lee Timmerman with KFYR-TV came out and interviewed the guys and will be running a story tonight at 6 PM. Thanks to all who came, the parents and families that support steer wrestlers. A big thanks to Scott Kleeman and B.O.B. Enterprises for helping cover part of the cost for the high school students that came. Thanks for all the help Jackie Olson Schau, Riley Reiss, Kasey Erickson, Bill Andersen, and several others that I can’t tag on the Facebook.

We are super proud of the work that Bridger Anderson Professional Steer Wrestler and Jacob Edler Professional Steer Wrestler have put in over the years. A huge congratulations to both of them for qualifying for their first NFR in as difficult of a rodeo season as we have seen in recent memory.

Both of these young men have always stepped out of their comfort zones and competed at levels they may not have been ready for. You would not beleive the number of people that have told me over the years that neither should have been going to the rodeos that they were. Not surprisingly most of the people that told me that had never tried it either. This isn't a "I told you so" post. To the contrary it goes to any person out there working towards a goal. Be your own critic and drown out the noise from everyone else. Growth comes from getting your ass kicked, and then trying again. Both Bridger and Jacob have made a career of getting their asses kicked! But they each keep getting back up and for that we are more proud than any buckles you may win. Good luck in December!
