Bullfighting has been a burning desire inside Cody Webster for as long as he can remember. His mom would tell him that when they used to go to local rodeos when he was a kid, his eyes were always on the clowns and bullfighters.

“That’s what I was going to be,” he said. “I was a little bitty kid running through the house, painting my face with mom’s lipstick, trying to wear baggy pants.”

Now, Webster is a 10-time NFR bullfighter and three-time PRCA Bullfighter of the Year, which would not have been possible without Hall of Fame Frank Newsom, known as the fearless one.

When Webster was about 11-years-old, he met Newsom, who took him under his wing after the two discovered they lived about five miles apart.

“We got together and he started training me and then it became way more serious than just him training me. I was there every day,” Webster said. “There’s no telling how things would have turned out without him.”

“I owe a lot of credit to Frank. That was the guy I studied, that was the guy I wanted to fight bulls like, I don’t think it was a coincidence. I think God put all this together.”
