Hamilton Rise Has a Very Famous Friend

Did you know that Hamilton Rise has a very famous connection?  The infamous “Chainsaw” Australia’s most famous bucking bull served out his final days in the paddock upon the ridgetop at Hamilton Rise.

Chainsaw won a world record 8 Bucking Bull Of The Year awards from 1987 – 1994. Only 8 cowboys rode the infamous bull for the required 8 seconds after hundreds of attempts over an 11 year career.  Notorious for his ‘sideways jump’, all four feet would fly out to one side and turn back to the right – all at the same time. With each successful buck, Chainsaw would take a swipe at the failed cowboy and charge to the middle of the pit before doing a victory lap in front of the excited crowd.
