I found this.

Las Vegas • Payson bull rider Steve Woolsey didn't enjoy the success he anticipated going into the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo.
But there is good news.
Woolsey was "doing good" with only "a scrape on the head" Sunday, less than 24 hours after a terrifying run-in with a bull named Palm Springs during the final performance of the NFR.
Woolsey finished third in Round 10 with a score of 87.5 and earned $10,450.
As he completed the eight-second ride, however, Woolsey was tossed to the ground and ended up underneath his rampaging bull.
How did he get into such a dire predicament?
"I wasn't really coherent," he said, "so I don't really know."
Woolsey "woke up" after being taken to the sports medicine room at the Thomas & Mack Center.
He says he will be "just fine."
At this point, Woolsey's plan is to rest and recuperate through Christmas and get ready for Denver's National Western Stock Show in January.
After a sensational regular season, Woolsey entered the NFR as one of the favorites in bull riding.
He suffered a separated shoulder in the second round, however, and ended up riding only three bulls.
Woolsey finished eighth in the world standings after earning $22,313 at the National Finals.
"It's really irritating," Woolsey said after Round 9 on Friday night. "I thought I was going to ride a lot more than I did. But that's just the way it goes. You can either let it get to you or keep going."
Meanwhile, Milford saddle bronc rider Cody Wright wrapped up his second world championship in three years during Round 10 of the NFR.
Wright started this season slowly, but an equipment change helped get him back on track.
When he struggled despite drawing some high-caliber horses at the Calgary Stampede, Wright ended an experiment with some new saddles.
He went back to the one he used during his run to the 2008 world championship.
"I said, 'You know what? I'm don't think the grass is greener on the other side of the fence,' " Wright recalled.
After the saddle switch, Wright's season quickly turned.
"I was just trying to find something to make me ride better," he said.
Laughing shortly after clinching another title, Wright added, "I'm not second-guessing my saddle anymore."
