Fort Worth’s Professional Bull Riding Team

The Ariat Texas Rattlers are the inaugural team in the PBR Team Series. Based out of Fort Worth, Texas, the team is led by PBR and rodeo legend Cody Lambert. Although previously known as an individual sport, team bull riding is a spirited 5-on-5 battle. However, the rules remain the same - Ride for 8 seconds and post the highest score with your teammates. The Ariat Texas Rattlers are a gritty group of cowboys who never back down from a fight against some of the toughest beasts known to man.

8 Seconds of Venom

Rattlers are quiet creatures, but their ferocity earns respect from everyone they meet. A rattler can strike, winning a battle in mere seconds. Like their namesake, the cowboys of the Ariat Texas Rattlers are powerful warriors who strike in just 8 seconds.
