The rodeo world calls him J.C. Bonine and he’s one of the most popular men in rodeo, riding the toughest saddle broncs in the rodeo business.
Despite a lack of resources, rancher Mike Miller successfully transitioned from part-time bronc rider to reined cow horse trainer more than 20 years ago. Now, the Wyoming cowboy is riding the success of Playboys Buck Fever—and his foals— to new heights in the sport.
A unique brotherhood exists among working cowboys who compete in ranch bronc riding, an event rooted in tradition, horsemanship and pride in the ranches the competitors represent.
