Hi, my name is Dalton Krantz, a 13 Year Old Junior Bull Rider from Gowrie, Iowa.
I was born about two weeks before the 1999 Labor Day Rodeo in Dayton, Iowa. Two weeks after I was born, I was at the Dayton Rodeo, sleeping in my stroller throughout the whole rodeo and never woke up at all!
When I was able to start walking and talking I would run around the house jumping and spinning around acting like I was riding a bull. My parents would ask me what I was doing and I would tell them “I’m bull riding”. At my grandma’s I would watch bull riding videos and grandma had to keep buying new bull riding videos, because I watched them too much and wore them out.
When I was 5 or 6 Years Old I would watch bull riding on television and sit on the arm of the couch and act like I was riding a bull. I did this so much I tore the arms of the couches and wore holes in them. On my 6th birthday I got a bucking barrel to practice bull riding. I also got on my first calf when I was 6 years old.
At the age of 7 and 8 I was going to rodeos and participating in mutton busting. At the age of 9 I covered my first steer. In 2009 I started riding at Circle C rodeo Association, in the Steer Riding division. I have won the Steer Riding Champion buckles for the last two years, along with the Steer Riding Buckles in Rolfe, Iowa.
This year I have moved up to Junior Bull Riding. It has been tough and I have received many bumps and bruises and still continue to ride bulls. I ended up 3rdin the Circle C Rodeo Standings this year.
My life time goal is to be a PBR World Champion. I realize that my life time goal is extremely challenging, but I am willing to work to make that goal come true.
My first buckle I got was the Reserve Champion Buckle at Leon Youth Rodeo in 2009, the very next day I got my first Champion Buckle at Clarke County Youth Rodeo also in 2009.
I also won the Rolfe Rodeo Champion Buckle in 2010, I won the Season Champion Buckle at Circle C Rodeo Association in 2010. In 2010 I won my first 1stplace trophy at the Circle C Kids Rodeo.
In 2011 I won the Rolfe Rodeo Champion Buckle, I won the Season Champion Buckle at Circle C Rodeo Association also in 2011.In 2011 I won the Circle C Kids Rodeo 1st place trophy.
In 2012 - I won the 1st place trophy for the Mason City Bull and Barrel Bash. Also in 2012, I won the 1st place trophy for the Circle C Junior Rodeo Series. I placed 3rd in the season for the 2012 Circle C Rodeo Standings.
Well, going to Alden to get some points for the 2013 season. Hope I draw a rank one.
