Professional Bullriding Australia marked the loss with a tribute on Facebook, stating the life “of a great cowboy, Blake Hallam (was) taken well before his time”.

Big Screens Australia also paid tribute to Blake with a series of video clips detailing his incredible talent for rodeo. "Welcome to heaven cowboy, your entry fees are paid,” their post read.

So sorry for your loss myself and a few friend only saw him ride Saturday night in Townsville. He seem like he had the whole redo world watching him.
