Cody explains what he does on the bucking bronc. Saddle Bronc riding is a dangerous event in which the rider tries to hold on to a horse specially bred to buck them off with just one hand for eight wild seconds. The oldest, 42-year-old Cody Wright, has won the champion's gold buckles, the top prize, twice. The Wrights have made it to the National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas, the sport's Super Bowl, every year for the past decade and a half. On the family cattle ranch on the edge of Zion National Park, the Wrights worked to become a dominant force in rodeo. The Wrights will be featured on the next edition of 60 Minutes, Sunday, November 3 at 7:30 p.m. Bill Whitaker profiles the Wright family of Southern Utah, a clan sporting nine professional cowboys with five world rodeo titles among them who live the kind of lifestyle straight out of the old west. And they are among the best saddle bronc rodeo riders in the world. They ride horses like they were born in the saddle. They have names like Stetson, Rusty, Ryder and Cody.
