Summary
James Arviso and Levi Lord didn’t head into the 2026 season knowing exactly what their new partnership would look like. Now, with the regular season winding down, both are sitting Top 6 in the PRCA World Standings and headed toward the Finals. Fresh off splitting the Cinch Playoffs title in Puyallup, Washington, with Kaleb Driggers and Junior Nogueira, Arviso and Lord join The Score to break down the runs that earned them $14,858 apiece, including the 4.1-second run that tied for the Finals win. Arviso and Lord also talk about why the Puyallup win mattered after a slower stretch late in the summer, how they’ve learned to manage rodeo formats without forcing fast runs, why their styles fit so well together and how their partnership clicked so quickly after coming together earlier this summer. Plus, Arviso reflects on how much has changed since his rookie season, while Lord talks about handling partner changes, the amount of money still available late in the ProRodeo season and the mindset that has helped him find success behind different headers throughout his career.
