Cast

Dale Brisby
A rodeo star, Dale Brisby refers to himself as 'the original ol' son', who 'rides bulls and punches fools'. A rodeo competitor, Brisby has gone on to make quite the name for himself on social media, as he posts his day all that he does on his ranch. His social media posts and content has made him an online star, as he chronicles the life of being a cowboy.

Despite the fame, his true love remains the outdoors and rodeo. "I have a really good time rodeoing and I like to live that life through social media. I am grateful every day that anyone might find what I do entertaining enough to give me a second look. I thank God everyday that He blessed me with a path to salvation through His son, with living in this country, for making me a cowboy, and for making me the most humble bull riding legend ever to walk the earth. If there's a better life, I don't know it." he said in a conversation with Rodeo News.

His social media content is what propelled him to fame, but he enjoys keeping it simple for him. "Whenever I get together with my camera man, Randy Quartieri, and Leroy Gibbons, we're like a bunch of little kids giggling and building a tree house. It's just fun. And that's how life should be! Especially if you're a cowboy, and especially if you're a Christian. I want to live my life through social media in a way that people see that." he added.
