The "Believe in Tomorrow National Children's Foundation" paired up with the Professional Bull Riders Company to give pediatric patients a chance to see what's backstage at a bull riding competition.

"We came to visit the bulls and hang out, watch the show and stuff." says Johnathan Nelson.

"I met the bulls and met some of the bull riders." says Erin Harrington

The children got VIP treatment, and a chance to be a part of the show.

"We tell them about the bulls and they get to put their hands in paint and put them on our chaps." says Kolt Donaldson, professional bull rider.

The hand prints were there with the riders throughout the show, bringing them good luck.

The kids all agreed on a favorite cowboy, but when it came to the bulls, they all thought differently.

"They were weird looking." says Josh Nelson.

"They were scary." says Johnathan Nelson.

"They were cool." says Erin Harrington.

The kids also got to stay for the show later on to watch those cowboys hang on.

While these bull riders may be tough out in the arena, they've got a soft spot in their heart for these kids.

"Well I think they're more encouraging than we are. They deal with a lot more than we have to everyday." says Kurt Donaldson

Although the kids inspired the riders, the kids weren't quite inspired to hop into the arena themselves.

"I don't want to break any bones." says Josh Nelson

Parents of the children say that the experience is special, because it shows them that even they've had hard times, there's always hope.
