Rodeo Steer Rider
Acme, Alberta’s 14 year old Garrett Bertamini had the chance to compete under the big lights at the Junior National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas at the Convention Center in 2018. Bertamini, a 14 year old in his fourth year of stear riding joined 26 other riders from Canada, the United States and Australia in his age category.
At the age of only eight, Garret’s rodeo journey began and he aspired to “be like the big kids behind the chutes who were steer riders, so I went to the Johansen Brothers Steer Riding School and that’s what started it all.” After getting into steer riding he came to love “the adrenaline rush of the sport and of being just me against the bull. I also enjoy the people in rodeo; they are great people and very supportive.”
