A New Mexico bull rider is getting recognized at just 9 years old after becoming a world champion.
His want to ride bulls started when he was really young.
"My mimi and papa, which are my grandparents, they took me to a Lee County fair here, and I watched the bull riding, and I liked it. I wanted to do it, but I couldn't because I was little," Hooks said."I watched a video on YouTube and then one day they let me ride sheep here at the fair," Hooks said.
He then moved to riding small bulls, earning himself the title of world champion and a special buckle. "I like rodeo, it's a different sport. Everybody's nice to you. It don't matter what skin color you are, they just are nice to you," Hooks said.
