I heard he got hurt and was in the hospital, but not any details. It was in Oklahoma I was told. He has been riding a little and winning some money. Great guy. Please post if you know more.

Well i have some bad news. Ryan mansfield did get paralyzed from the neck down at the bull riding in oklahoma city. Ryan is a great guy, he will need all the prayers he can get to help him through this.

That makes me sick to my stomach. Dang Dan i was hoping you heard wrong.
He'd had so many concussions or such a couple years ago i had heard he quit. I know the two times he bucked off of my bull's he was real slow getting up and it took a bit for the lights to come back on. And that was either 2 or 3 years ago.

Dan i meant it if you wanna try to help get a benefit started with Mickie or Chester or who ever i'll help by donating some stuff to help him get some $$ together.

Dan did you hear from someone else. I have not found where he is at yet but yes, I did hear he was paralized from the neck down. I was told that he can feel scratching on the bottom of his feet which at least shows a sign that there is potential for some hope. I have known Ryan for about 10 years now. He was a 20 something year old young guy when I met him and he started riding. He was one of those guys who just rode for fun and strangly had "the talent". You could watch him ride and he did so without effort...he was special but again, just rode for fun. His brother bucked bulls at his house and about 8 years ago, Ryan got stepped on in the face and it **** near killed him then. Very sad. Doctors told him not to get on again. That lasted about a year and he started riding bucking horses and got more serious at it. I lost track of him over the last few years...and now this.
What stands out about Ryan is no matter who you are, he ALWAYS treated you well with a lot of heart. Ryan, we are all thinking about you and praying for you. Use that same heart for riding, to heal once again.

My heart and prayers go out to Ryan and his family. Ive know him for quit some time now, and he is one top knotch guy who always has a smile on his face. I really hope for the best, and will be praying for a positive out come in this situation.

I hate to hear about Ryan getting hurt again, I dont know him very well and have only talked to him a couple times but hes one tough kid. I was surprised to see he was riding again after that wreck he had before. Seems like Rockin J had page on their website with updates on his condition before but I cant find it now. Prayers for him and his family. l also like Jeff would help out with a donation for a benfit auction.

I will do whatever I can to help out. Count me in if I can do a benefit auction to help out.

I looked online last evening to see if I could find anything out...nothing! I would like to ask the breeders in Oklahoma if they have heard anything about this? I would like to locate the family and am having a tough time. I am guessung he may stillbe in Oklahoma. Anyone?
