Jared Parsonage Wins the 2025 PBR Canada National Finals and Crowned the 2025 PBR Canada Champion at Record-Setting Year-End Event in Edmonton, Alberta

EDMONTON, Alta. – As the record-setting 2025 PBR (Professional Bull Riders) Canada season concluded Saturday evening inside Rogers Place in Edmonton, Alberta, Jared Parsonage (Maple Creek, Saskatchewan) further etched his name in the bull riding history books, winning the Command Tubular PBR Canada National Finals, presented by Edmonton’s Best Hotels, en route to being crowned the 2025 PBR Canada Champion. Moments after winning the coveted honors, Parsonage announced his retirement from the sport of bull riding.

Parsonage earned $150,000 inside Rogers Place, including the $100,000 Champion’s bonus, concluding the 2025 campaign having won $230,101.73 on home soil. His earnings were part of the richest season in PBR Canada history as they awarded more than $1 million across the 36-event season, including $250,000 at the PBR Canada National Finals.

When the dust settled, Parsonage finished the season having gone a torrid 33-for-51, covering 64.71% of his animal athlete opponents.

Parsonage is the fifth rider to win the PBR Canada Championship and PBR Canada National Finals in the same season. He joins Zane Lambert (2017 | Ponoka, Alberta), Cody Coverchuk (2018 | Meadow Lake, Saskatchewan), Daylon Swearingen (2019 | Piffard, New York) and Nick Tetz (2024 | Calgary, Alberta).

The veteran Saskatchewan man also made history as the first rider to ever win the PBR Canada Championship and CPRA (Canadian Professional Rodeo Association) bull riding championship in the same season. This past October, Parsonage won his third career CPRA title inside Rogers Place.

As the year-end event began, Parsonage travelled to Rogers Place ranked No. 1 in Canada, leading No. 2 Dakota Buttar (Eatonia, Saskatchewan) by 71 points and No. 3 Jake Gardner (Fort St. John, British Columbia) by 102.83 points.

Parsonage began the 2025 PBR Canada National Finals with a bang, going 2-for-2 on the opening night to surge to an early event lead. In Round 1, Parsonage rode Jet Black (Skori Bucking Bulls) for 83.25 points, while in Round 2 he topped Pyper (Foley Bucking Bulls) for 86.25 points.

Buttar and Gardner, however, didn’t keep pace. Buttar went 1-for-2, rebounding from a 2.16-second buckoff on Magic Jam (Vold Rodeo) in Round 1 with an 85.75-point score atop Whiskey Moon (Skori Bucking Bulls) in Round 2, while Gardner was shutout, tossed by Grand Slam (X6 Ranch Bucking Cattle) in 4.02 seconds in Round 1 and Just Cause (Vold Rodeo/R Saga Ranch) in 3.77 seconds in Round 2.

Parsonage’s success, coupled with missteps by Buttar and Gardner allowed him to further his grasp on the No. 1 rank, beginning Championship Saturday with an 92-point lead over No. 2 Buttar and 147.83-point lead over No. 3 Gardner.

And his white-hot momentum continued to flow in Round 3. Facing Trailer Trash (Outlaw Buckers Rodeo Corp.) Parsonage made the requisite 8 with ease, marked 84.75 points.

But Buttar and Garnder both converted as well. Buttar posted an 85.75-point ride on Double Twist (Thompson Rodeo Livestock), while Gardner capitalized on re-ride draw High Plains Drifter (W Sunrise), logging and 84-point score to secure the final berth to the championship round.

The 2025 PBR Canada Championship then came down to three outs in the final round.

Gardner left the chutes first, and after being tossed in 2.44 seconds by Blue Nerve (X6 Ranch Bucking Cattle) was eliminated from title contention.

Buttar was next to climb atop the chutes, taking on Day Thuggin (S&M Bucking Bulls). Bursting from the chutes inside the home of the NHL’s Edmonton Oilers, Buttar delivered under pressure, logging his third consecutive score for 87 points to overtake the event lead.

The season then came down to a showdown of titans, No. 1 Parsonage against the regular-season No. 1 bull Moonwalk (Thompson Rodeo Livestock). A familiar showdown, the two had already danced four times this season, with Parsonage making the 8 in each matchup for a score of 88 points or more. Those scores were four of the five qualified rides logged on Moonwalk in 2025 across his 12 outs on Canadian soil.

With the crowd inside Rogers Place brought to the edge of their seats, Parsonage nodded with confidence and logged his fifth qualified ride in as many attempts atop Moonwalk, marked an event-best 87.5 points to not only clinch the National Finals event title, but also the 2025 PBR Canada Championship.

Parsonage finished 2025 213 points ahead of runner-up Buttar. He is the 14^th different rider to win the PBR Canada Championship.

Moonwalk was anointed the 2025 Canadian Global Bull of the Year, concluding the season with an unrivaled 43.79-point average, 0.5 points ahead of No. 2 Shot Caller (X6 Ranch Bucking Cattle) and Crazy Little Thing (Two Bit Bucking Bulls). The powerful bovine capped his season with a 42.25-point out in the championship round that propelled Parsonage to the PBR Canada Championship.

God Bless (W Sunrise) and Get Rhythm (Skori Bucking Bulls) tied for the YETI “Built for the Wild” Bull of the National Finals honor, both marked 43 points in the championship round. God Bless earned the top marks for his 4.19 seconds of work with Gilmar Santana (XX, Brazil), while Get Rhythm posted the event-best marks for his 4.06 seconds of work with Cody Coverchuk (Meadow Lake, Saskatchewan).

 

Garnder was awarded both the Wrangler MVP and Road Warrior titles for registering the most aggregate points and competing in the most events, respectively, during the regular season. Throughout the 2025 regular season, Gardner tallied 2,877 aggregate points and registered 38 event entries. In addition to the titles, Gardner was presented with a $25,000 bonus as the Wrangler MVP, and $10,000 bonus as the Road Warrior.  He concluded the year having won $104,967.68 in Canada, marking the first time in PBR Canada history multiple riders have won more than $100,000 in competition.

The 2025 Zane Lambert Lifetime Achievement Award was presented to three-time PBR Canada Champion and eight-time PBR World Finals qualifier Aaron Roy (Yellow Grass, Saskatchewan).  

Thompson Rodeo Livestock was crowned the 2025 PBR Canada Stock Contractor of the Year a first for the outfit led by Jim and Janet Thompson.

The Dakota Buttar Invitational in Kindersley, Saskatchewan, was voted the PBR Canada Indoor Event of the Year for the first time, while the Czar Lake Bullarama was chosen as the PBR Canada Outdoor Event of the Year for the third time.

Nick Tetz was awarded the Glen Keeley Award for the second time in his young career. This award goes to the Canadian bull rider earning the most Unleash The Beast points during the season.

Francisco Costa (Humaita, Brazil) was crowned the 2025 PBR Canada Rookie of the Year. During the 24-year-old’s debut Canadian season he tallied an event win, along with an additional 11 Top-10 finishes before concluding the year No. 6 in the national standings. Costa notably finished second at the 2025 PBR Canada National Finals as the only other rider alongside Parsonage to go a perfect 4-for-4.
