Brendon Clark is a former professional bull rider.

Clark was one of only a few riders to earn $1 million riding bulls. According to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, he was Australia's most successful bull rider.[1]

Clark was born September 24, 1980,[2][3] in Morpeth, New South Wales on the Hunter River.[1] In 2008, Clark received six concussions and started wearing a helmet.[4] In 2009 he was hospitalized after a bull stepped on his stomach and chest in Omaha, Nebraska, resulting in serious internal injuries.[5] He retired from bull riding in 2013.[6] As of 2015, Clark lives in California, working as a horse whisperer and television commentator. The Brendon Clark Invitational, a competition for bull riders held annually in Newcastle, New South Wales, is named after Clark.[1]
