October 2, 2003:

I just finished up a photo shoot for U.S. Smokeless Tobacco Co. They'll be using the pictures for a big upcoming ad campaign.

I'll be headed to Las Vegas for the PBR Finals next month. That runs November 6-9 at the Thomas and Mack Center, and we're pretty excited about giving this year's world champ a million-dollar bonus. That's pretty amazing and really cool.

Everything's going great with the PBR. It's growing in every direction, and just keeps getting better for everyone involved. We've never had more fan and sponsor support or more television coverage, and it all just gets bigger and better all the time.

I'll be back in Vegas for the run of the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo. Dennis Reis and I will have a daily horsemanship exhibition at the Excalibur at noon, December 4-13. We're starting the day before the NFR opens, and going through the second Saturday.

To buy tickets to the "Day of the Horse with Dennis Reis and Ty Murray" exhibition, call 800-933-1334. Tickets are $30 plus tax.

Dennis has me really excited about horses and horsemanship. It's always been a goal of mine to be the best horseman I can be, and I've learned a ton from him. I sure respect how he communicates with horses.

That's it for now. Hope you're having a good fall.
