Dickens wins 2024 Eufaula Rodeo bareback champion and CWRA/CRRA and ACRA Rookie of the Year Champion

Reagan Cotter Dickens is the 2024 Eufaula Rodeo bareback champion and CWRA/CRRA and ACRA Rookie of the Year champion from Eufaula, Oklahoma. Dickens currently is sitting at #5 in ACRA and #3 in the final CRRA standings. ACRA finals are in January 2025.

“I have been in rodeo from the time I was knee high to a grasshopper! When my mom realized I had a devotion for rodeo I wouldn’t let up on she dropped me off at my uncle Bill Duvall’s where he trained me in riding bulls, to which I later transitioned to bareback horses and have never looked back,” Reagan Cotter Dickens said.

The 22 –year old cowboy had a dream to make it to the NFR.

“I was raised in Eufaula, Oklahoma by my mother Keli Rippy who owns BB Boutique on Main Street. She was a single mother with two boys who has always been my biggest supporter and fan! She has always pushed me to my goals and ambitions to which I know I can make her proud. I am now a father to two beautiful baby boys myself who I hope to lead into inspiration and hard work to make your dreams come true. I am getting married in April of 2026 to my fiancé Olivia Cox, who has stood by me every step of the way,” Dickens added.

Dickens is looking for sponsors who will have their logo and company name displayed at the rodeo on equipment (vest/ vehicle ), may receive ads in programs or on signs/ vehicles he take’s to the rodeos and sponsors will have their name announced along with Dickens in campaigns, public posts/announcements and rodeos.

For more information contact Olivia Cox at oliviamcox13@ gmail.com
