How a Houston area bareback rider calls on his upbringing in Australia to compete in rodeos.
World Champion bareback rider, Anthony Thomas, got into the sport of bareback riding in a rather unusual way.Most rodeo contestants have multiple generations in their family to show them the ropes of the sport, but for 35 year-old world champion bareback rider Anthony Thomas he had to learn all on his own.
Thomas worked with wild horses and bulls, among other animals at the cattle station on his school’s grounds. It was his duty to corral them and break them in – tame them – by riding the animals. He felt akin with these wild horses, as they reminded him of his past. Before coming to America, Thomas stopped bull riding; shortly after he got here, he also halted his participation in saddle bronc events.
“I have success in this because of my understanding of horsemanship,” he said. “I know which way the horse will jump and in what directions it will go, and I know how I need to position my body to be in sync with the horse.” Although Thomas continued riding only in the bareback event to reduce additional injury; injury cannot be avoided all together. In September 2022, he was competing in British Columbia and a horse “hung him up,” as he twisted his arm while still holding onto his rigging. The incident tore up his shoulder, resulting in a total shoulder reconstruction surgery, he said.
