This Mutton Bustin' Champ Plans a Different Career Route Than Just to Become a Cowboy

SAN ANGELO, TX – San Angelo might have met the future president of the United States at the San Angelo Stock Show and Rodeo Saturday night when Gavin Ballard won the crowd over during the Sonora Bank Mutton Bustin'. 

As some of the riders hit the dirt, a few buckaroos were able to hold on long enough to get a time. Only one mini-cowboy was able to win though and Gavin Ballard did just that with an amazing 91-point ride. 

This was one of the highest in the Rodeo so far and it set him up to win a giant buckle. 

After the ride Ballard said he was super excited about winning and that one day he plans on growing up to be the president of the Unites States. We forgot to ask if he already has a Twitter account set up.
