Rex is the poster boy for being not only double tuff but triple tuff! Rex rode all 3 events last series. Bareback, Saddlebronc and Bullriding! He not only rode all three, he WON in all 3! Rex was the World Allaround Champion in 2023 and in several shows took home buckles in all 3 events! He also won the extremely difficult IRONMAN award and was high money winner at the World Finale last December. Taking home multiple buckles and saddles. Through the 2023 series Rex suffered a broken right leg and a broken collarbone and still dominated the Allaround. He is tuff as they come. Let's see what the man wearing the #1 back number this year has to say about his journey.
"Rex Robrahn"
I grew up in Siloam Springs Arkansas just a typical country kid. I played every sport in town. We had horses and a few cows, my mom ran barrels, so we’ve been around play days and rodeo my whole life. I remember seeing Denny Flynn when I was a kid thinking that’s who I wanted to be when I grew up, then later in life my kids rodeoed with his kids and we became friends and I learned then he is as good a guy as he is cowboy!! I started getting on bulls and broncs when I was 14 years old, I gained a lot of weight at on point got to 326 pounds, finally after finding medical problems I lost the weight and was able to ride again in 2014. That is the year I met Paul Hixson and he is the one who finally taught me how to win!! I have since met another guy named Fletcher Tigner, let me tell you if the world had more cowboys/men like those two it would be a lot better place!!!
