Chancy and Paige Wilson were born into, and raised in, rodeo. Their children Paytin, Rankyn, and Kashtyn join them on the rodeo trail. Chancy says, “When you come to a Muddy Creek Rodeo, we want every cowboy thinking they had a chance to win and every spectator thinking they just watched the greatest rodeo and wanting to come back the next night or they can’t wait til’ next year, and we want committees to feel like they are on Cloud 9 and just put on their version of a mini NFR. And as long as the stock is even, the cowboys appreciate that, if you know there’s more than 1 bronc or 1 steer in the pen you can win on, then they’ll show up” And as the story goes, that desire to fill every chute with outstanding bucking horses led to a dream come true for Muddy Creek. That dream come true is the star of this fairy tale and his name is Bugsy. Chancy was at a bronc riding in Ogallala, Nebraska and Lance Lesmeister had Bugsy there. “Bugsy came out and two jumped Colt Gordon. I asked Lance if he wanted to sell him because he was so phenomenal. Lance said, ‘I don’t own him, I’m just breeding to him.’ He was owned by the Ringgold Family out of Gans Oklahoma. They raised him. I told Lance to find out if they wanted to sell him. A few days later, Lance called and said, yeah, they’d sell him but I better get on it because word got out how hard he bucked and they are getting lots of calls. I told Lance, tell them the check is in the mail, the rest is history.”
