For all the years of competing at a high level, to now being the one helping behind the scenes, it’s a very different experience.

This year Hali had an unbelievable winter of rodeos placing at Fort Worth, San Antonio, and winning Houston. It was her first time of roping in the buildings, and I’ve been very proud of her.

After watching the Texas Junior High and High School Rodeo finals this week, what a great opportunity for kids to compete against other kids and learn about the sport of rodeo. My kids have come up the ranks in both divisions and that experience is invaluable. There are many opportunities in rodeo now for these kids, especially the girls because of the popularity of Breakaway and how much it’s growing, with no real end in sight.

As I write this, I’m in Corpus Christi for the WCRA Rodeo. This is a great opportunity to possibly win some big paychecks. In the WCRA you can nominate an event, like a rodeo or jackpot on their app, and if the event isn’t listed you can request it by submitting a flyer.
