Tom Willoughby is a rodeo legend and the Mount Isa Rodeo buckle holder for steer wrestling. He has been an All-Round Cowboy in the Australian Professional Rodeo Association, boasts a packed mantelpiece of buckles, and has rodeo in his blood. His grandfather, also named Tom, won two All-Round titles, two steer wrestling titles, two saddle bronc titles, and four bull ride titles - the second-most bull ride titles behind Barry Gravener, who won five in his career in the 1960s.
