LeAnn Hart talks about raising bulls and watching husband, J.W., commentate on Pure PBR. I thought I was independent before marrying J.W., taking care of myself and always being on my own, but it’s funny, when you are married to a bull rider, you no longer only take care of yourself. You take care of everybody from your two-legged kids to your four-legged kids. J.W., in general, is the definition of a cowboy, and I have always grown up wanting to be a cowgirl, so we kind of complete each other like that. I think overall what I have learned is that he pushes me to be more whenever I don’t think that I can be anymore or give anymore. He pushes me to do so much more than I ever thought that I could. He was so good this week with me being sick. I don’t know if it’s because he’s getting older, or if he’s getting softer, but he used to push me to get up and there would be no rest. Now, I think he sees that not everybody has got the superpowers that bull riders have to get up and go, and every now and then we get zapped. I am so proud of J.W. for what he did. I am still so proud of him because he has always been a firm believer in the PBR and what it stands for, and the professional bull riders. There is definitely a minor league and a major league, and I was proud to know that he played in the majors for such a long time, and that he still has a position with the PBR to carry that on. We consider everybody family within the PBR. Everybody is so close knit, even those who don’t work for the PBR anymore. It’s funny how everybody kind of stays in touch with each other in one way or another. We all see each other and you always embrace with a hug.
