San Angelo Stock Show and Rodeo Concludes Lucrative Texas Winter Run

Dual-event cowboy Wacey Schalla truly hit his stride in bareback riding last season, and that momentum has carried over to 2026. He finished fourth in Round 1, won the Finals and the Average, banking over $11,000 in San Angelo.

Schalla is not only pursuing NFR qualifications in bareback riding and bull riding, but he also has his eyes on the All-Around Cowboy race, where he finished second to Stetson Wright in 2025.
