Matt Manzanares grew up in a town that hosts what the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association named the Large Outdoor Rodeo of the Year.
The rodeo, called the “Daddy of ’em All,” is part of the Cheyenne Frontier Days in Cheyenne, Wyo. The 10-day festival in July is an annual event in the town, something that has drawn Manzanares since his youth and to which he now takes his nephew and two daughters annually.
But ride a bull? That’s not something he ever really considered.
