  • Trivia
    Between his 13-year professional bull riding career, a serious motorcycle accident where he was struck by not one but two trucks at over 60 miles an hour, Houck has managed to rack up a fairly incredible injury list, including; seven broken ribs, a punctured right lung, a broken left arm, a broken left leg, a cracked skull (twice), a broken left zygomatic (cheek bone), a broken nose (twice), a collapsed lung, a broken right hand, a punctured lung, a fractured tail bone, a broken collar bone, and virtually severing his left arm with a chainsaw.
  • Quotes
    I was born on a cattle ranch in Kansas. I spent half my life in a saddle. I rodeoed for 13 years. It doesn't bother me to wake up next to horse heads.
