Chanley Iverson is keeping tradition within the family.
The young ranch cowboy and recent high school graduate has demonstrated heart and grit to become a champion saddle bronc rider. It's a pursuit that began on a ranch in northern Arizona, where Iverson grew up in a saddle from the time his grandpa put him on an old bay horse at a tender age.
"Being on a horse is natural to me," Iverson said. "Competing in rodeos is a good sport for a ranching type of family like mine."
