PBR Fan Favorite Wiley Petersen Living Life With a Purpose
PBR fan favorite Wiley Petersen has always lived life with a purpose, from riding bulls, to sharing his faith, to practicing medicine as a PA-C.
Professional Bull Riding (PBR) fan favorite Wiley Petersen made his career about riding bulls and making the world a better place. His highly successful career spanned from the 2000 season of the PBR Built Ford Tough series through his retirement from bull riding in 2011.
It was not only Wiley’s athletic ability to stay on the back of a powerhouse bull that drew people to him. He was loved by his fans for his ability to communicate and engage with people. And as a bull rider with a large fan base in the PBR, it became his goal to share his faith and live his life as an example to others. Photo courtesy of Bull Stock Media.
Extreme Mustang Makeover
The very first Extreme Mustang Makeover was held in 2007 in Fort Worth, Texas. The event featured 100 trainers who all had 100 days to train a wild horse and bring it to competition. That competition put MHF and the American mustang on the map by sparking interest in the breed and awareness of MHF’s mission.
Saguaro Flowers Give Life in the Desert
Saguaros produce beautiful white, waxy flowers that bloom in the cool of the night. Their melon-like smell calls the nocturnal feeders and primary pollinators like the lesser long-nosed bat and the Mexican long-tongued bat Flowers wilt in the next day’s sun, but not before wasps, bees, butterflies, hummingbirds and white-wing doves have shared the left-over nectar.

The lesser prairie chicken, a cousin of the sage grouse, has performed its iconic mating dance on the great American prairie for thousands of years. Its population has dwindled from a million to around 30,000 but its popularity and importance as a symbol of the American prairie has gained in stature. These birds are known for the ritualistic dance performed in groups called leks in the early morning hours. Their animated dancing and the thunderous sounds created by the little birds are a coveted sight with folks who are fortunate enough to catch the performances of these shy birds.
