Karen Gill from Gill Bros Rodeo says she is bringing the meanest bull and bronco combo in the business to town – Chuckles and Troubled Waters.  

The former is both ABCRA and APRA's bucking bull of the year while the latter is the reigning saddle bronc of the year with both the country's peak rodeo organisations.

And don't be fooled by Chuckles' name. He's not very fun to be around and neither is he all that happy. 

"Nobody's ever lasted eight seconds on Chuckles and I don't think that's going to change at Moree," Mrs Gill said. 

As for those hoping the six-year-old, white-face Brindle was past his prime, they've got another thing coming.

"Chuckles was a little down there for a while but his buck is back now," Mrs Gill said. "In fact, I don't think he's ever been bucking better." 

At least with Troubled Waters, the name gives some indication of the beast.

A fourth generation rodeo horse foaled by Crystal Waters, the nine-year-old is troubled by name and nature. 

A sportswoman at heart, Mrs Gill said there were some champion riders coming to town this Anzac Day weekend – a challenge she was relishing. 

"I'll be hoping Greg Hamilton or John Turvey draw Troubled Waters," she said. "Now that would be a stand out ride."

Mitchell-rider Hamilton and St George's Turvey are two of the highest ranked riders in the country and will soon be heading to the pro tour in Canada.

Wantabadgery's Rhys Angland and Charlie Colless from Walgett are another two riders Mrs Gill will be keeping an eye on. 

But don't think Gill Bros is a two trick pony.

"Anyone who gets on another horse we've got, called Moves Like Jagger, will be in for one hell of a rough ride too," Mrs Gill said.

For those wanting a gentler introduction to the toughest sport on dirt, Gill Bros will have a number of events which will be open to the public. 

Children can join Royce Gill in the poddy ride events. Mrs Gill's grandson, Royce represents the seventh generation of the Gill family in rodeo. 

The Gill Bros also cater for those who want something less savage than Chuckles, yet more so than a calf.

"We also have the wild mule challenge," Mrs Gill said. "We release six wild mules and the first one to ride the mule across the finish line wins…"

It is open to locals, there's a jackpot and it all sounds comparatively simple until Mrs Gill finishes her sentence.

"And that's no mean feat given that we always get a few that turn back and like to attack the riders and some that bite them in the shoot before they even get out."
