Biography
Samantha Gibson is from Chesterville, Ontario, and in her rookie season she started riding bulls in early 2023 — and hasn't been able to stop since. Her home pen is County Xtreme Bulls where she regularly competes in their jackpot and buckle series and attends practice. In her first year alone she was invited to the Blacktop Outlaws Invitational, rode in the RAM Rodeo Tour, and competed in the Cross Over the Line buckle series.
Going into her second season, Samantha rides sponsored by The Hat Effect, whose guidance has helped her train with world champions like Gary Leffew and Mike Lee. With so much happening in just her startup year, she can't wait to see what the future holds. She has met incredible cowgirls and cowboys along the way — and as she puts it, the show has just begun.
