Web Lewis is a trained veteran who knows all the tricks.
"We're not gonna be on horses,” Webb Lewis explained. “We're gonna be on the sheep."
Mutton Bustin' is not for faint of heart.
"Everybody thinks it's soft, but it's not soft," he said.
Web Lewis is a trained veteran and knows all the tricks.
"My strategy is so when I get on the sheep, I'm going to hold on so tight,” he said. “I do not want to fall off."
"I think he's been planning all year for it,” said Web’s dad, Mike Lewis. “We did it last year when we came to the rodeo and he hasn't stopped talking about it."
And even though Web didn't win the competition, he is still left a winner. That’s because all the kids take home customized belt buckles.
