Pro Rodeo Hall Of Fame Has New Gallery “Tribute To Chris LeDoux”

Chris LeDoux is the epitome of the Wyoming Cowboy and is a beloved hero to many of us.

He was inducted into the Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame in 2005, and it was a well-deserved honor.

Chirs LeDoux began to show the world what he was made of when he won the Wyoming high school state bareback riding championship.

In college, he captured the 1969 National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association bareback riding title.
