About

As a young man, Denny Thorsell never thought he would be able to live his dream of being a cowboy.  After going to work on a ranch in Texas at age 15 and then becoming a horse trainer (cutting, reining, and halter horses), that dream came to life.

Later, when his son, Shawn, started riding bulls in high school, Denny discovered a love and appreciation for these amazing animals… the bucking bull, an athlete comparable to no other.  Thus, a new dream of a different kind of cowboy was born.

Buckin’ Ohio is a family owned and operated bucking bull ranch. Denny Thorsell and his family have been breeding bulls for decades and providing pure country entertainment for over 7 years.

In 2009 Buckin’ Ohio was featured on the fox 8 television show That’s Life with Robin Swobota. What a great job they did. Thank You Fox 8 and Robin we appreciate you joining us.

Creek Bend Bucking Bulls & Buckin’ Ohio were recently featured on “Our Ohio” Television program. Buckin’ Ohio is quickly growing as a premier summer destination.

“We’d love to have you visit our ranch. We’re proud to own one of the only working bucking bull ranches in Ohio — where we live the cowboy life every day.”
