""If I ever felt good when I woke up, I'd go to the hospital. I hurt every dang morning with something. But it's just pain. You just put it out of your mind.""
""Rick was the total package. He was a brilliant entertainer who could tell jokes and engage the crowd, and a gifted protection man who could keep riders out of harm's way.""
Rick Young, a Hall of Fame rodeo clown and bullfighter, worked in rodeo for over 50 years, enduring numerous injuries. Known as the Ragin' Cajun, he humorously referred to himself as the Agin' Cajun due to his long career. Young retired at 85, having entertained audiences and protected riders with his dual skills. He was celebrated for his ability to engage crowds of all ages and for his quick thinking in dangerous situations, often using a barrel for protection against bulls.
