// Meet the Bull Riders: Kutter Riggle
@ kutter_riggle
At just 21 years old, Kutter Riggle from Comfort, Texas, has already achieved a 2023 CPRA finalist position. Kutter recently took a big step forward by purchasing his PRCA permit — and he’s setting his sights on qualifying for the 2025 PRCA Texas Circuit Finals. It’s about to go big for this cowboy. Fearlessly and faithfully he describes his pursuit of God’s plan for him … and it’s obviously the same way he rides bulls.
Catch Kutter at the Rose Palace this Saturday, May 3rd! 🐂 //

Equine love comes in a diverse set of appreciations. We see working horses, graceful horses, fast and technical, edgy and chill - but that variety is what we love about them, right? … and that is why the hoofbeat is always our heartbeat at The Rose Palace.
Congratulations to all the competitors from this weekend’s Lone Star-Triple B Fiesta Hunter Jumper event. New and experienced riders made their way around the jumps for two days-with ribbons of plenty being distributed. Well done! We will see you back at the end of May.

// Meet the Bull Riders : Winston Lopez (and Sons)
() Winston is riding high in The Rose Palace Reckoning series. He’s won two of the three, and tied for the third. Hailing from the cowboy capital of the world, Bandera, TX, riding bulls has been his passion for as long as he remembers; steers at 3? The man has IT in his blood! So much so that even his boys (7 & 5) tied to win the last Mutton Bustin’ event. 🤘🏼
Winston, now 30, has quite the resume and is on his PRCA path to NFR with 4 wins already. One thing is for sure with the Lopez boys, age doesn’t matter—These cowboys will respect their lineage and show up ready to ride.
Watch the Lopez boys BRING IT on May 3! 🐂

There is no one who loves the Rose Palace more - nor is more enjoyable to be around than Fredrico. If you see him around, usually driving that Kubota, give him a shout out. You’ll be blessed.
