10-year-old William Buff has been riding the rodeo circuits since he was 3 years old. He started on sheep and advanced to horses and now half ton steers. Earlier this month, William became a two-time World Champion Miniature Bull Riding winner, outlasting a bull named Chuckie in the junior division in Mesquite, Texas. Last year he won the peewee division at the same event. In both events, he was going up against 70-plus other young bull riders. William has influenced at least one classmate and his younger brother to try the sport, but he said bulls can sense fear, and it’s not for the faint of heart. William is a true athlete dedicated to his sport, and is eager to collect a full wall of championship trophies.
