Amid those months on the rack, Muncy invested more energy with his significant other, Marissa, and their two youngsters. When I was about a year old, I was at the Socorro [New Mexico rodeo] field and my three cousins gettin' on broncs and bulls, and so forth, and imagining that is the thing that I would do," Muncy said. "I never mulled over it. I simply needed to be a cattle rustler. It prompted bronc riding, and I adore it."The Turquoise Circuit Finals' second execution begins at 7 today around evening time, Oct. 6, at Prescott Valley Event Center.
