Ty Murray is rodeo's most famous and successful cowboy.They call him the "King of the Cowboys," and rightly so.When teen-ager Ty Murray hit professional rodeo in 1989, more than one jaw hit the ground in amazement of the kid's awesome talents and versatility. He was better in all three roughstock events than most cowboys who devoted entire careers to one event dared dream about. His success wasn't shocking news to Murray, who'd worked at his craft every waking hour since he started riding calves at age 2, just after taking his first steps. It was obvious to him that success hadn't just fallen out of the heavens because he had the dream of being the best. With his early start and work ethic of daily devotion to his sport, he'd eaten more dirt than anyone else and then some. He didn't take the easy road to the top. But his records and buckles and championships--including six straight world all-around championships from 1989-94, and a single season earnings mark of 297,896 (set in 1993)--are going to have to speak for themselves if it's going to be said that he's the greatest all-around cowboy the sport has ever known, because you aren't going to hear it from Murray. Unfortunately, a series of injuries had placed Murray on the proverbial sidelines for the better part of the 1996 and 1997 rodeo seasons. Months of extensive rehabilitation have successfully delivered Murray back stronger than ever. Once again Ty's proving his devotion and ability to the sport,and he plans on striding swiftly back to the top. With that said... GUESS WHAT? HE'S BACK!
