Clark was born in Morpeth, New South Wales on the Hunter River.[1] In 2008, Clark received six concussions and started wearing a helmet.[2] In 2009 he was hospitalized after a bull stepped on his stomach and chest in Omaha, Nebraska.[3] He retired from bull riding in 2013.[4] 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]
