YREKA – Laramie Collins of Weed won the Bull Riding event last Saturday in front of a large crowd at the Siskiyou Golden Fair. Collins was the first competitor with a successful ride, and celebrated with mock gun slinging and a toss of his hat.

One oddity was that Collins was wearing chaps that had belonged to the 2007 CHSRA District – 4 rodeo queen.

“Last year at state, I didn’t want to rip my one pair of chaps that I had for bronc riding. So I asked the rodeo queens if I could borrow a pair for bull riding,” said Collins.

As it turned out, D-4 Queen Taylor Degret volunteered her chaps. Unfortunately for Collins, Degret’s mother stepped in and nixed the deal because the queen still needed them for other appearances. However, earlier this year, Degret’s mother gave Collins the chaps, and he’s been wearing them for bull riding ever since. Collins said he hasn’t had time to take the “queen” off, and will probably just leave it there.

For Collins, a 17-year-old senior in high school, the win in front of the local crowd was a thrill.

“It was really exciting to win in sort of my home town, with all my friends watching,” said Collins. “I was excited about that.”

Collins competes in California High School Rodeo Association events, and intends to join the Professional Bull Riders circuit, after high school.

The Siskiyou Golden Fair rodeo was sanctioned by the California Cowboys Professional Rodeo Association.
