For Laramie resident Tryan Gill, confidence and consistency is everything in bull riding. It’s taken him far, as the 10 year old currently has the status as the world’s best miniature bull rider in his age group.

The young bull rider already started a healthy collection of buckles and cash rewards before competing in the sixth annual Chris Shivers Miniature Bull Riders (MBR) World Finals in Las Vegas in the fall.

Knowing that he’s off to a good start in bull riding, Tryan said he’s already thinking a lot about the professional circuit. Marc said his experience already has him seasoned for big stages.

“It’s just kind of my life,” Tryan said.
