Whitehorse joins the Cowboys fresh off his ninth qualification to the PBR World Finals. The 2018 PBR Rookie of the Year and 2025 Challenger Series Champion is currently ranked No. 14 in the Unleash The Beast standings headed into the PBR World Finals May 7-17 in Fort Worth, Texas where he aims to clinch his first individual World Championship.

During the individual season, Whitehorse won one event, victorious in Albuquerque, N.M. in late March, posting three rides of 90 points or more en route to the victory.

Since making his Unleash The Beast debut in 2016, Whitehorse has won four events, and logged 17 90-point rides, including his career-best 93.75-point ride on Chiseled at the 2020 PBR World Finals.

Whitehorse is one of three new additions to the Cowboys during the offseason, joined by Elizmar Jeremias and Thiago Salgado, both formerly of the Florida Freedom. Thiago joins his older brother Adriano Salgado on the Cowboys as the siblings will compete side-by-side in a dynamic infrequently seen in professional sports.

Whitehorse, Jeremias and Thiago Salgado join a deep roster of returning riders from the 2025 championship team including: 2025 PBR Teams Championship MVP and North Carolina’s own Clay Guiton; two-time PBR World Champion Jess Lockwood (2017, 2019); 10-time World Finals qualifier Derek Kolbaba; and three-time PBR World Finals qualifier Adriano Salgado.

The Carolina Cowboys will return home to Greensboro, North Carolina, and First Horizon Coliseum for their fifth annual homestand event on Sept. 18-20, 2026.

The competition begins at 7:45 p.m. ET on Friday, September 18, 6:45 p.m. ET on Saturday, September 19, and 1:45 p.m. ET on Sunday, September 20.
