Leighton Berry

Leighton Berry has cemented himself as one of pro rodeo’s most consistent and dangerous bareback riders. A five-time NFR qualifier, Berry finished 8th in the 2024 world standings, highlighted by a Round 10 win and more than $263,000 in earnings. Known for his explosive riding style and clutch NFR performances—including multiple round wins in both 2022 and 2023—Berry has notched major wins at RODEOHOUSTON, San Antonio, Reno, and the Ponoka Stampede. His career-best season came in 2022, when he ranked third in the world with $267,274 and made headlines with an 88-point ride in Round 8 on Knot So Foxey. With a long list of victories and a Texas-tough mentality, Berry continues to prove he’s built for the biggest stages in rodeo.
