Bull riders
Riders are coming to Fredericksburg from around the world for this sanctioned PBR event.
“Four of these riders competed in the 2014 World PBR Finals,” said Greg Mohr, chairman of the Fredericksburg PBR. “And 12 of them are in the top 50 in world standings. You’ll never get a chance to see so many top riders up close like this.”
