Austin Ashley, the man who laughs in the face of danger—literally, because it’s all part of the job description—is the fearless bullfighter for Legacy Pro Rodeo. Hailing from Wynnewood, Oklahoma, Austin’s journey into the adrenaline-fueled world of bullfighting began at the tender age of 12, under the mentorship of renowned bullfighters Cody and Ashley Webster.
By his junior year of high school, Austin was so committed to dodging bulls that he switched to homeschooling, allowing him to hit the rodeo circuit full-time—a decision that had his high school football coach scratching his head.
Austin’s career highlights include clinching the Cavender’s Cup at the Heart O’ Texas Fair & Rodeo, where he “showed up and showed out,” leaving fans and bulls alike in awe.
In the arena, Austin’s quick reflexes and fearless demeanor have saved countless riders from close encounters with bucking bulls. His heroic acts have been captured in viral videos, showcasing his dedication and earning him the title of “Superman” among rodeo fans.
When he’s not playing matador with 1,500-pound beasts, Austin can be found honing his skills on the ranch, embodying the true spirit of the American cowboy. His commitment to the sport and his fellow athletes makes him an invaluable asset to Legacy Pro Rodeo—and a nightmare for any bull with mischief on its mind.
