The Cowboy Legend: Casey Tibbs

According to the ProRodeo Hall of Fame, Casey Tibbs is to the sport of rodeo what Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig are to baseball; what Jack Dempsey and Muhammad Ali are to boxing; and what Red Grange is to football.

Casey Duane Tibbs was born to John F. and Florence M. (Leggett) Tibbs in the family’s log cabin northwest of Fort Pierre, South Dakota, on March 5, 1929. He attended rural school at Orton Flat.

Young Casey, who started riding in local rodeos when he was 14, was training bucking stock and competing at rodeos around the country the next year.

In 1949 at the age of 19, Tibbs became the youngest man ever to win the national saddle bronc-riding crown. Between 1949 and 1955, he won a total of six PRCA saddle bronc-riding championships, two all-around cowboy championships, and one bareback-riding championship. He inspired audiences with his trademark “Purple Shirt” (which matched his “purple” Cadillac) and a riding style that depended on balance and rhythm instead of pure strength.
