Bull snot flew around the SNHU Arena, and limbs flailed in the air as professional cowboys hung on for dear life.

The bull riding rodeo show held Dec. 12 and 13 was the kickoff of the Professional Bull Ridersโ€™ โ€œUnleash The Beastโ€ season. The event featured 30 of the best riders in the world competing through two nights to win the event, the first of 18 on the tour.

The Granite State crowd was loud, dressed to the nines with cowboy hats and boots, and ready to cheer on each rider. Country and classic rock music played throughout the night in a truly unique event.
