So long to a bright star.

A young friend of us here at Double P Tack passed away on the 27th. Bryan Howlett a potentially great bullfighter died at his home in Ignacio, CO. We met Bryan a few years ago at the Casper Baca Rough Stock Series. The first day out he took a hooking which broke his arm pretty good. As soon as he was released (actually helped before) he was back to fighting bulls. I think he had a bright future as a professional bull fighter. This kid was extremely polite and the kind of kid any family would be proud of. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family, he will be missed!
