I actually got a no-time on my first calf because we jerked him down, so that’s kind of why I switched to Blue because he’s just a little bit easier to turn them around on.” “I felt like Mitch was maybe a little too strong for the Finals in Arlington because it was a longer start and he stops really hard. “I bought Blue Duck the last month of the season (in 2020) and I made the NFR on him the last rodeo of the season,” Durfey said. “I’m thankful that he filled the gap for so many years.”ĭurfey also rode Mitch for Round 1 and Round 2 at the 2020 Wrangler NFR at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas.ĭurfey said his main option to ride now is Blue Duck, 11. “Mitch was just a really consistent, solid horse that gave me the shot to rope at the NFR and have a chance to win the world title,” Durfey said. Durfey finished third in the world standings with $237,532. Durfey, aboard Mitch at the 2019 NFR, placed in seven rounds and finished second in the average.

He was known for pinning his ears back and trying to bite cows on the butt. He loved to go to the roping pen and rope and chase calves. “He was a lot different than Nikko in the aspect that he didn’t care to play around. “Mitch was a very loyal horse,” Durfey said.
