Colton Delgado started buying horses and breaking them at 15 years old. That same year, he entered his first rodeo event in Salina, and by age 16, he travelled to Salina for his first bareback event. He came in first at a Park City rodeo in 2010, but he feels he started to “finally get decent” last year, winning a buckle for qualifying for Nationals, another for winning at State, and another for winning at another rodeo event.
