Abilene Hosts World Champions

Abilene welcomes young bull riders from around the world. The InVinci Bull Riding World Finals is in full force at the Taylor County Expo Center. Three hundred of the very best youth riders, plus their families are in Abilene through Saturday. Competitors ranging from 4 to 19 years of age are separated into six different age groups to compete for the title of World Champion.

The Youth Bull Riding World Finals will generate $595,000 into the area economy. On average, four people accompany the participants and 92% stay in hotels and motels. “Three years ago, the contract was contingent on new bucking chutes,” says Nanci Liles, Executive Director of the Abilene Convention and Visitors Bureau. “The Big Country Chevy Dealers enthusiastically supported this new event and sponsored the bucking chutes. We appreciate the generous sponsors and the opportunity to host the Youth Bull Riding World Finals. It is our desire to continue to host YBR World Finals for many more years. After all, Abilene is where champions are made.”

The YBR World Finals is committed to making a positive difference in the lives of young people, while at the same time; making a difference in the lives of those around us.
