Joshua, TX (WBAP/KLIF) – Family and friends are mourning the death of an up-and-coming young bull rider from Joshua.
19-year old Peter ‘Chase’ Bishop suffered fatal injuries after being bucked off and run over while practicing.
Brother, Steven Bishop says he’s gotten dozens of sympathy messages from hundreds of bull riders around the country. The teen was widely seen as destined for ‘world-wide recognition.’
Steven Bishop says his brother, “got his call at the world finals at the pearly gates.” He says,
“If you knew him, it was God, bulls and the ranch.”
And Steven said Chase knew and accepted the risks attached to the dangerous sport.
The Tarrant County Medical Examiner is looking into the cause of death.
