The International Finals Rodeo wrapped up Sunday, January 17th in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma after it's 4-round competition to solidify IPRA World Championships and IFR 40 Champion Buckles.

First, congratulations to Matt Mousseau of Dashwood, Ontario.

Mousseau had a stellar IFR, placing in a few rounds, finishing 2nd in the aggregate and winning his second World Championship! Now he's the first Canadian to win TWO World Championships in the IPRA!

Next, Rod Weese, our 2006 ORA Rookie of the Year is now the 2009 IPRA All Around Rookie of the Year and Steer Wrestling Rookie of the Year! Weese had a great first showing at the IFR, and even finished 3rd overall in the Aggregate.
