The Houston Family’s inaugural Kelly C. Houston Memorial Bull Riding event for 2013 in officially “in the books.” Thirty-four cowboys showed up to ride at the Cowboy Fellowship of Atascosa County arena to help raise funds for the Kelly C. Houston Memorial Scholarship Fund. At the conclusion of the “long” and “short” go-rounds Reid Barker earned the 2013 Championship by posting a 172.5 aggregate score on two bulls. For Barker, this was the start to a very profitable day riding bulls as he had some great success at the PBR later that same evening.
