As a young man, Denny Thorsell never thought he would be able to live his dream of being a cowboy.  After going to work on a ranch in Texas at age 15 and then becoming a horse trainer (cutting, reining, and halter horses), that dream came to life.

Later, when his son, Shawn, started riding bulls in high school, Denny discovered a love and appreciation for these amazing animals... the bucking bull, an athlete comparable to no other.  Thus, a new dream of a different kind of cowboy was born.

Creek Bend Ranch has put together some of the finest genetics available in Professional Bull Riding over the last ten to twelve years... And so another dream is realized.
