Shorty Gorham
A renowned bullfighter has remained with PBR despite suffering a dislocated foot during a recent event. Shorty Gorham, who was born in San Juan Capistrano, Calif., has been an animal lover since day one. In fact, he even followed a neighbor to Texas to train as a bullfighter. One of his most iconic moments was when a bull threw him into the air. However, he managed to catch himself mid-air and land on his feet.
Shorty Gorham is in his 12th season as a PBR bullfighter. He started working as a bullfighter at the age of 18 and is currently in his 12th season. He works at PBR events all across the country and is also a professional hunter who makes money hunting mountain lions and bobcats for various research organizations. His success as a bullfighter has made him one of the most successful bullfighters in PBR history. Shorty Gorham is now a part of the team that protects other bullfighters, including Cody Webster, Lucas Teodoro, and Jesse Byrne.
Seth “Shorty” Gorham
Shorty Gorham grew up on a ranch in California. His interest in bulls was evident as a child. He followed his neighbor to Texas to learn how to ride bulls. The first time he fell, he managed to catch himself mid-flight and land on both feet, but he didn’t give up. His perseverance and determination have paid off.
In a recent interview with ESPN, Gorham spoke about his long career with the PBR. He outlined his goals for the future and said he’s open to career options, but is committed to his passion for bullfighting. While Shorty’s current role is the on-air announcer for the PBR, he admitted he’s considered other jobs in the past.
Ryan Dirteater
The question has been circling around the PBR bullfighting world for over a decade now: is Ryan Dirteater still with the company? The PBR’s current general manager, Ryan Dirteater, says the answer is yes, but what does it mean for Gorham? The PBR has been trying to find a replacement for the retired Rob Smets since he broke his neck in 2006. Shorty has been the main PBR bullfighter ever since.
While the former cowboy is a legendary bullfighter, Gorham is a cowboy who has been around for a while. He has helped revive the American style of bullfighting, and he has been partnered with PBR to host an additional event. Oklahoma City is the second stop on the PBR tour and will feature PBR rider Ryan Dirteater, who was the champion of the weekend last year. The Brazilian Cowboy JOAO RICARDO VIEIRA is expected to claim his third consecutive win at this event.
J.B. Mauney
It is no surprise that Shorty Gorham still has plenty of work left to do with the Professional Bull Riding Tour. He is currently in his 12th season working PBR events. Outside of PBR, Shorty enjoys hunting bobcats and deer, and uses fourteen hunting dogs to hunt them. His first bull, Bodacious, earned 95 points in 1993.
A former PBR bullfighter and wife of two-time world champion, Samantha Lyne, married the PBR legend J.B. Mauney earlier this year. She rode a Bushwacker bus in the early 60s. Her husband, J.B. Mauney, also rode bulls and competed in the PBR. His father, Phil Lyne, is a former professional bullfighter.

The question of “is Shorty Gorham still with PBR?” was posed by the public during round one of the 2016 PBR event. The bullfighter is currently in his 12th season of PBR events. Away from the arena, Shorty hunts deer and bobcats with 14 hunting dogs. In addition to bullfighting, Shorty is an accomplished hunter.
The two top riders, Emilio Resende and Flint Rasmussen, are both out with injuries. That means that six of the top fifteen bullfighters are out of the competition this weekend. This has led to a search for an alternate to ride in Gorham’s place. Shorty was slated to take the stage as a bullfighter, so the PBR chose an unlikely candidate in Parmelee, South Dakota.
