For the first time ever, all four Wright brothers qualified for a championship round together Saturday night at the San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo.

It’s a measurable feat for the Utah siblings, all sons of two-time PRCA World Champion Saddle Bronc Rider Cody Wright.

“It was awesome to win it, but that was probably the highlight of my whole week,” said Stetson Wright, who led the charge with a 90-point ride on R. Watson’s Prairie Fire from Cervi Championship Rodeo. “I’m lucky that I got bragging rights this time, but it’s going to be a dog fight all year.”

There might be something even bigger that happened on the final night of the 17-day rodeo: The Wrights took the top three spots in the saddle bronc riding results. Rusty and Ryder Wright each had 88.5-point rides to finish tied for second place in the round. Rusty drew Cervi Championship Rodeo’s R. Watson’s Mad Skills for the championship round. Ryder matched Pete Carr Pro Rodeo’s Larry Culpepper. San Antonio lists its top finishers by money won. Stetson earned $27,520, with $16,512 coming for winning the final round.

Rusty was the runner-up with $16,787, while Ryder cashed in for $12,935. Reigning PRCA Saddle Bronc Riding World Champion Statler Wright, who had an 86.5-point on Calgary Stampede’s Yesterday’s Delivery in the final round, finished 10th with $7,156. Their makeshift family reunion in the Alamo City netted the Wrights $64,398.

It’s a similar note to how the family finished the 2025 campaign. Statler won his first Montana Silversmiths gold buckle in Las Vegas in December, but Ryder was just $346 behind to finish as the reserve world champion. Stetson finished third in the final 2025 PRCA | Bill Fick Ford World Standings but claimed the all-around and bull riding world titles, upping his gold buckle total to 10. 

“This is kind of like a crazy year,” Stetson Wright said. “I’ve got (my) three brothers competing with me, and all four of us were in the short round. We finished pretty dang good.”

It was also a chance at redemption for Cody and ShaRee’s third child.

“There was a lot going through my mind,” Stetson said. “That horse bucked me off last year pretty hard, so I just knew I had to stay back and lift (on the rein). This win means a lot. I was kind of shut out here last year in the bronc riding. I wanted to come back and be a whole lot better than I was last year. I feel like I did that.

“This win is huge. All these winter rodeos to me are bonuses. They can jump start your season, your summer run and the final stretch of the year.”

The bond among the sibling quartet seems to be infectious. Oftentimes, the Wrights on the back of the bucking chutes are as energized as the brother riding in the arena. Stetson and Prairie Fire took that intensity into the final ride of the night.

San Antonio offers roughstock cowboys a chance to draft their matchup for the championship round. The selection order is chosen by a random draw, and the man with the No. 1 chip picking first.

“There were a lot of good horses to pick from,” said Stetson, who also cashed in for about $2,500 in bull riding but didn’t advance out of his bracket. “I ended up getting to pick third in the draft. After Ryder picked (Pete Carr Pro Rodeo’s) Larry Culpepper, I was like, ‘I need a rematch of this horse.’

“I knew what I had to do to get it done. I’m glad it happened.”

Struxness ($24,768); team ropers Lightning Aguilera and Wyatt Cox ($24,218); breakaway roper Jaci Hammons ($23,319); tie-down roper John Douch ($22,017); barrel racer Anita Ellis ($24,768); and bull rider Tristen Hutchings ($32,565).
