“It was hard to find what Brian liked. He always said, ‘We are going to get our own stud one day,’ and it was a matter of finding that stud.” -Lisa Fulton

But Brian suffered a knee injury in 2001 that ended his full time professional rodeo career but not the dream of breeding good performance horses for the rodeo. Brian and Lisa found that they needed a good stallion to serve their breeding program and just such a horse came into their life in 2003. His name was A Streak Of Fling.
A recent interview with Lisa Fulton puts their goal of starting a breeding program and the difficulty they encountered in finding the right stallion into perspective. “The reason we got into the performance horse business was because of all the years of being on the rodeo trail and searching for prospects to buy and train just to keep Brian rodeoing. It was hard to find what Brian liked. He always said, ‘We are going to get our own stud one day,’ and it was a matter of finding that stud.”
The Fulton Ranch located on the border between South Dakota and Nebraska near Valentine, Nebraska, was a dream for Brian and Lisa Fulton that became a reality. Brian, a rancher at heart, was a horseman that was a highly respected PRCA and Badlands Circuit timed-event cowboy.
He started his professional rodeo career in 1984 after his time at South Dakota State University. He qualified for the National Finals Rodeo (NFR) in 1991 in tie-down roping and as a steer wrestler in 1996. He was the runner-up in Steer Wrestling for the World title in 1996. He just missed the coveted Golden Buckle in Steer Wrestling as the NFR average winner that year. A broken barrier in round five kept him from the coveted
title. He placed in seven of the ten go-rounds with ties for a win in two of the go-rounds. He was a 12-time Badlands Circuit All Around Champion. He won 11 titles in
the RAM Badlands Circuit Finals in steer wrestling, tie-down roping and the All Around from 1986 to 1998. He represented the Badlands Circuit 10 times winning the RNCFR in tie-down roping in 1995 and the All Around in 1996. Brian was inducted into the Casey Tibbs Hall of Fame of South Dakota in 1999 for his career in rodeo.
It was at this point in the mid 90’s that Brian and Lisa started the Fulton Family Performance Horses. It was a business venture that came about because Brian was always looking for horses to train and compete on. The goal was
to put a breeding program together to develop their own line of rodeo horses and alleviate the constant search for the next horse.
