ANCHORAGE, Alaska — The co-founder of Rodeo Alaska is recovering after he was gored — but still managed to win a prize — at his own event.
The Anchorage Daily News reports 43-year-old Frank Koloski was competing in the “double mugging” event on Saturday.
In that contest, one cowboy on a horse ropes a steer while another on foot tries to wrestle the animal to the ground.
Koloski says the bull’s horn punctured his stomach and went in 4 1/2 inches.
He says he tried to trot out of the arena afterward, but got lightheaded and fell. An ambulance took him to a hospital.
