Trey Benton on No Hands
Uploaded: April 27, 2014 | Entered: April 27, 2014 15:19:01
I know I have presented this young lad to you several times before as last years GPM winner. This year he went into the record books again becoming a back to back winner in the prestigious GPM bull riding (second only to the CBR finals). This has only happened twice before. In 1981&82 Charles Sampson and in 1985&86 the famed Lane Frost were the only bull rider to take consecutive George Paul Memorial Bull Riding Championships. He is only the third bull rider to ever win back to back George Paul Memorial Championships. This is his third straight CBR bull riding win and he is the CBR World leader. He is also a student at Sam Houston State College in Huntsville as a communications major and has finals in 2 weeks. He is so young he hardly has to shave. This year I gave him his book for winning last year and his dad was present and very proud. I told his dad I would give him one as well and another next year. Congrats Trey Benton.

Emile, the recipients of your photos are very lucky that you are there to capture their action shots, they are soo good (the photos). This is another wonderful shot, and I love the stories you put with your images, which put us into the picture, rather than it being just another image. Lovely work! #11034592Emile Abbott April 30, 2014
Thanks Nadia, Laura and Debbie. #11034810Phyllis A. Houghton May 15, 2014
