The legendary bull rider JB Mauney’s career started on the field of Mooresville, North Carolina, and ever since then he never shied away from delivering great performances in his beloved arena. However, almost a month ago the amazing bull rider decided to take a leave and heal from his injury. The decision came a week after he endured a devastating injury at a rodeo in Lewiston, Idaho.

Mauney’s career-ending incident occurred when he was thrown from the bull Arctic Assassin on September 6. He landed on his head during a Xtreme Bulls event, which cost him a retirement. The rider was heavily injured and left with a broken neck. He had to undergo surgery, which included the removal of a disk and the addition of a rod, plates, and screws to stabilize his neck. Even though the surgery brought him to a sober state, the accident marked his career toward the end. He has not only bagged the title but he has also gathered loyal fans in his journey.

A bit of labor has never harmed anyone

JB Mauney is widely regarded as one of the greatest bull riders in the history of the Professional Bull Riders (PBR) circuit. The recent ranch update has garnered praise from his fellow mates and fans. Mauney posted a video 5 days ago, where he could be seen working on a ranch in the Kubota country.

This is not the first time he has rebounded from injury. Early in 2021, he suffered from facial lacerations after being thrown from a bull at the National Finals Rodeo. Similarly, in 2023, he was knocked by a bull while competing at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, which left him unconscious.
