NASHVILLE, Tenn (RFD-TV) Rodeo seems to be gaining the attention of those beyond the barbed wire fence rows, crooked cowboy hats and square-toed boots. The cast of season 24 of the hit reality TV show “Dancing with the Stars” was announced live on “Good Morning America” today, and the line up includes a celebrity of a different origin: Professional Bull Riders (PBR).
29 year old professional bull rider and model Bonner Bolton will join the star studded line up along side his dancing partner Sharna Burgess as the second real cowboy to appear on “Dancing With The Stars.”
Ty Murray, nine-time World Champion bull rider and co-founder of the PBR, was the first rodeo super star to appear on the show back in Season 8.
