this is seven-year-old cutter and he is
a professional rodeo rider
what's your favorite part about rodeo
he's an all-around cowboy and he wants
to be the best at
everything but rodeo can be a dangerous
sport
ride gutter run one of his friends got
killed riding the ball
and some people have criticized cutter's
involvement he judges because they think
it's too dangerous
you know randy's parents my grandma my
sister they are like you shouldn't
let him do that and lord forbid
if anything ever did happen my dear i
just kept right behind you
two cats when we have a new calf like
this you never know what they're gonna
do
i am a real cowboy cuddler seven years
old and i'm a cowboy from texas
rodeo is like having fun like you know
how
people like riding goat carts i like
doing it
it's the glory it's the adrenaline the
feeling you get
cutter he just keeps going and going and
going you don't quit first time ever
was on a horse he was newborn after that
his first rodeo he was nine months old
he had a pacifier in his mouth he's
ready to go
[Music]
how do you feel i feel good we never
dreamed that he would achieve as much as
he has
in the short amount of time as he has i
was only born in 2013
and i won this buckle in 2014. right
here is first one i ever got in my life
it's my new pony he's got to wake up in
the right mindset
like if he's not set on it and ready to
achieve this goal
he could get hurt very badly it's
something your head's got to be in it
and your heart's got to be in it
but it can happen anywhere you can get
in your car right now and
something bad happening have you ever
broken your arm um
one time not on bulls but um
i broke it two times three no
three times probably i got hunted up and
it popped out
what does it mean to get hung up well
like it's like you get your hands stuck
in your rope and you can't get it out
and you're just getting drunk just have
some friends that are close to him
break a jaw one of his friends
got killed right in the bowl so do some
people judge you for that lifestyle
choice you make
my grandma my sister they are like you
shouldn't let him do that
they judge us because they think it's
too dangerous they're like why would you
put your kid you know on that bull and
let him get hung up or this that
the other what's no different why would
you let your kid go on a football field
and get slammed down
it is a dangerous sport it's not for the
week that's for sure people have accused
us
of pushing rodeo onto cutter or accused
randy of black trying to live his dream
through cutter if cutter ever told us he
was ready to quit
we'd quit tomorrow this is what he's
driven to do what he's passionate
and regardless if people think it's
dangerous or irresponsible to spend your
last dollar on it
that's our choice and that's what we're
doing we just bought these two new caps
for him to practice
and see how they buck today when we have
a new calf like this
you never know what they're going to do
you know they don't know where to put
their feet where they're going
or what they're going to do from moment
to moment tell me about the last time
you got hung up
i got hung up pretty bad
got a big old jam i ripped my leggings
these leggings i ripped them i almost
broke my arm
i'm always nervous because there's
always a chance you know something could
go wrong
or randy can't get there quick enough
cutter gets
nervous and i tell him hey we got to get
through it you know get through it
i make him go ahead and get on and he
can ride anything when he puts his mind
to it and
he knows where to be and where not to be
and i'm right beside him
i see something go wrong i step in you
know
lord we just come through your day let's
ask you to keep cutter safe can you say
if we put it in your hands
you just think we pray amen if we're
going to do something we want to be the
best at it
we ain't doing it just to show up and
eat some popcorn y'all are here to watch
the show because we're going to put one
home
it's my kids time to shine
you ready let's go
ready ready pull your tail down
oh
[Music]
i see this as supporting my child like
any other parent because
if your kid told you and woke up today
hey i want to be a brain surgeon
wouldn't you do whatever you had to do
to make that happen
that's all i'm doing what's your goal
for the future
i want to make it to vegas i want to
win a bigger check and take a
bigger than me
and bigger than that this is just
something we're going to keep doing
and people may not agree with it but
we're here and we're ready
you
