Gary Leffew is widely considered the rodeo guru of positive thinking. Leffew turned his revelation into the Gary Leffew Bull Riding School, which opened in 1969, a world championship and NFR aggregate title in 1970, as well as seven career NFR appearances. From there, Leffew went on to build an empire for himself as he branched out into the entertainment world. He’s served in various capacities for commercials, music videos, movies and TV series; his IMDb page lists credits in acting, stunts and writing, as well as livestock consultant and bull riding instructor. Now an elder statesman of the bull riding world, Leffew says the word retirement isn’t in his vocabulary.
