PRESIDENT CORNER W hat a start to the 2023 rodeo season. I have been very impressed with the level of competition our members have brought to the rodeos this year as it has been great watching for the fans
This year is also a special milestone for the WPRA as we celebrated 75 years on February 28. On February 28, 1948, a group of diverse women that wanted to compete in rodeo met in San Angelo to create this Association and every year since a new group of ladies has stepped forward to keep advancing the sport for women by women. I have had the privilege to serve the WPRA first as the all-women’s director and then as president three different times during the course of my career. It’s been a true honor to devote these years to an Association that has accomplished so much along-side such dedicated directors. This issue takes a look back on the various milestones the WPRA and its members have achieved over the last 75 years. I for one am thankful to our founding members that created this Association despite the challenges they faced at the time. They were indeed trailblazers in the sport of rodeo, and we owe a great deal of gratitude to each of them. It is now in our hands to propel the WPRA forward for another 75 years and keep women’s involvement in the iconic sport of professional rodeo alive and well. So, I send a heartfelt Happy Anniversary to the WPRA and all that make up this great Association.
in both events. Keep up the great work. Also continued thanks to the rodeos who are raking or dragging during the barrel race. More are coming on board and providing this, and our members and their equine partners are thankful for their concern for the health and well-being of their horses. I would like to especially thank San Antonio Rodeo for adding a drag halfway through, we are seeing fast times and ladies placing at the very bottom! You all should have received communication regarding the WPRA Walk-Up Replacement Policy that will be in place at select rodeos. Please familiarize yourself with the revised policy and the committees that will have this option at their rodeo. Be sure to reach out to the office, your circuit director, myself, or our vice president Heidi Schmidt if you have any questions or concerns regarding Walk- UP Replacement. As you should also know by now, we will be wrapping up the 2023 WPRA Board Election the second week of March. I would first like to thank all that stepped forward to run for these positions and for all that have taken the time to vote and have your voice heard in this Association. We will be adding a second roping director to provide more representation for our ropers as the breakaway roping continues to have tremendous growth.

IN THE NEWS Jerry AnnTaylor Best Dressed Award
The Jerry Ann Taylor Best Dressed Award presented by the National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame is only given at the NFR and at the Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo. While the NFR is selected over the course of the nine rounds, the award in Fort Worth is based off the Final round only.
Sissy Winn became the first WPRA member to win back-to- back Best Dressed Award titles in Fort Worth taking the title in 2022 and again in 2023. This isn’t an easy feat as the first big hurdle is being one of the eight barrel racers to make the Finals. “Winning the Jerry Ann Taylor award last year was such an honor,” Winn said. “I knew I wanted to try to win it again if I got the chance.” This year’s outfit included a bright blue hat, a white shirt with blue and black sequin trim on the sleeves and jeans embellished with red, white and blue rhinestone stars and white rhinestone writing spelling out “Land of the free because of the brave” on the outside of the leg. Winn learned sewing from her mother, Melissa, and they enjoy collaborating on her outfits. Winn was all smiles winning the custom- made bracelet and $5,000 in cold hard cash. Presenting this year’s award was Elaine Agather, Pam Minick, Kit Moncrief and Nicole Sheridan.
With Deepest Sympathy Five-time WPRA World Champion Team Roping Heeler Melissa Brillhart of Slaton, Texas, passed away February 8 after a valiant battle with esophageal cancer. Brillhart was born January 11, 1975, in
Lubbock, Texas, and made a name for herself in the WPRA roping ranks winning world titles in 1996-1999 and in 2001. Animals were her passion, especially dogs and horses. She was the owner and operator of her own kennel and grooming business called Cowdogs and Cuties.

BIG TIME WIN Ganter Goes to No. 1 With Fort Worth Victory By Ted Harbin J ackie Ganter has had big dreams and aspirations for herself and for the horses she rides. Howes A Tycoon is no different from any animal she’s ridden into the arena, but there’s a special bond that she has with the 15-year-old sorrel gelding she calls Tycoon, out of RLJ Callingallangles and by Streakin Again.
It comes from the roller-coaster career for the big, red racer. There have been great successes, but there have also been so many months away from competition. When injuries came into play, Tycoon was down for the count more often than he and Ganter had hoped. “When he’s sound, he’s a winner,” said Ganter, a two-time Wrangler National Finals Rodeo qualifier from Abilene, Texas. “I’ve had a lot of trouble with him. He’s had several big-time injuries that have kept him out of competition. “I got him back right before the WPRA Finals in November, and he won that. I gave him time off again until Fort Worth.” That proved to be valuable, because he needed plenty of energy to make it through the tournament-style format. She and her prized mount were in the seventh bracket, the last set to determine which cowgirls were to advance to the semifinals. Ganter stopped the clock in 16.54 seconds to win the first round, then he stumbled in their second-round run; that pushed the Abilene lady into the wild-card round.
Year who finished eighth that season and seventh a year later in her two bids to the NFR so far. “Growing up in Abilene, I’ve been to Fort Worth every year for as long as I can remember. “This is huge. I haven’t made the NFR since 2016, so this is a huge jump right at the beginning of the year to try to qualify for the NFR again.” Because of Tycoon’s injury history, she knows it will take a team if she were to play in Las Vegas again. “He can only haul so far and so many miles, so it makes a difference where he goes,” she said. “That’s where my other horses will have to step up and allow him to run where he can.” All she wanted was a sound horse to have a chance, and Tycoon gave her that. Now, Jackie Ganter knows that when her 15-year old sorrel gelding Tycoon is sound, he is a winner and they proved that at the Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo. In the finals, the duo stopped the clock in 16.30 seconds, to knock four-time and reigning world champion Hailey Kinsel and Sister off the top of the leaderboard. Photo by Rodeobum.com, James Phifer
She advanced out of that and into the first semifinal, where she and Tycoon stopped the clock in 16.56 to tie for second place and move into the Feb. 4 championship round. She and her sorrel made four runs in consecutive days before getting a day off, and it was much-needed and well-earned. “He had a (good) run again on the third night, and then we split second in the semifinals,” she said. “He’d never done four in a row. I thought in my semifinals run, he seemed pretty tired warming up and afterwards. He definitely needed a break. I was glad to have that Friday off to let him rest and recover.” It helped a ton, and Ganter and Tycoon rounded the cloverleaf pattern in 16.30 seconds to win the title, ahead of four-time and reigning WPRA world champion Hailey Kinsel, and the $20,000 top prize for winning on the final night. In her first time to ever advance out of the bracket system, she finished the rodeo with $24,260, which shoved her to No. 1 in the world standings and gave her a wink toward the future.
Jackie Ganter was all smiles as she accepted her winning prize package at the Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo. Joining her in the winner’s circle was Mr. Ed Bass and Mr. Brad Barnes, representing the Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo. Photo by Rodeobum.com, James Phifer
“It’s definitely a goal you’re striving for to win a major rodeo, especially Fort Worth,” said Ganter, the 2015 Resistol Rookie of the

SPEED KILLS Guillory Garners Breakaway Roping Title at Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo By Ted Harbin
W hen she played softball at Louisiana College, Cheyanne Guillory knew the advantage she held was her speed. “For me because I was a short stop and an outfielder, baserunning was one of the things I was best at,” said Guillory, originally from Lecompte, Louisiana, but now living in Kingston, Oklahoma, a stone’s throw from the Red River and smack dab in the middle of quarter horse country. “I always say, ‘Speed kills.’ “At my positions, I had to be fast. When I moved that over to breakaway roping, the fastest person wins.” It was never truer than during the tournament-style Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo inside Dickies Arena. Guillory shined all the way through, and her star was brightest on the final day of the rodeo during the Feb. 4 championship go-round, when she stopped the clock in 1.9 seconds, just a tick faster than Ashley Goforth, to win the title. “It feels really neat to win a rodeo like that, one that’s just in its third year of having breakaway roping,” she said. “It’s always exciting to win a big rodeo, but to be one of the few to win a rodeo like that makes it extra special.” She knows a thing or two about performing well on ProRodeo’s biggest stages. She earned more money than any other competitor at the Wrangler National Finals Breakaway Roping, presented by Teton Ridge this past December, pocketing $27,037 over two days at the South Point Arena & Equestrian Center. That was during breakaway roping’s grand finale, and she almost matched that feat in Fort Worth. She placed high in both her preliminary rounds – she tied the arena record with a 1.7-second run to win the second round in Bracket 4 – to advance. At the semifinals, she posted

a 2.1 to finish second. In all, Guillory earned $25,860.
“To have that much money won at the beginning of the year is huge,” she said. “It’s a great start to the season. Last year I didn’t have very much won after the winter rodeos. I had to win some big rodeos at the end of the year to make the finals.” As of Feb. 6, the Fort Worth title propelled Guillory to the top of the world standings. That’s all well and good, but the goal is to be sitting on the mountaintop when the 2023 campaign comes to a close. That means there’s more work to be done, and she has most of the season ahead of her to make that happen. “My plan for the year hasn’t changed,” said Guillory, who has qualified for the breakaway finals each of the past two seasons. “My game plan is to get to the rodeos and do the best I can. “ Of course, a key piece of her puzzle comes in the form of Hawk, a smaller-sized 9-year-old sorrel gelding. “I think my horse really helped me be fast in that setup,” she said. “I have a lot of confidence in him in fast setups. One of my favorite things about being a competitor is when we get to compete in front of big crowds. That venue and that arena were great. There were a lot of people, it was a cool setup, and it gets really loud in there. “That makes it a lot of fun when you compete in that kind of atmosphere.” Winning the title inside Dickies Arena made it even better.

WORTH THE TRIP Olson, Allen Tie For Win At Rapid City By Joe Kusek B obbi Olson and Kelly Allen have much in common. Both live in the same Texas community. Both have a passion for barrel racing. And for a few days in early February, the pair navigated the same icy roads to travel 1,100 miles north from Stephenville to Rapid City, South Dakota. The only differences were their traveling partners and what was packed in their rigs. Each had their reasons for competing in the same building. And fittingly, both had the same result.
On different nights at The Monument, Olson and Allen posted identical times of 13.08 seconds to win Rodeo Rapid City, Feb. 2-4. Each cowgirl pocketed $4,191. Olson also won in Rapid City in 2020 and 2018. “There is something special about Rapid City,” said Olson. The event also served as a mini reunion for her and her husband’s families. Olson, formerly Bobbi Grann, is from Sheyenne, North Dakota. Her husband Logan, a team roper, is from Flandreau, South Dakota. Bobbi and Logan Olson spend their winters in Stephenville and summers in the Dakotas. “We got to meet up with family. It was so much fun,” said Olson. The Olson truck included their young daughters Emersyn (2) and Ellie (three months). “My parents watched the kids. We had freedom at the rodeo,” Olson added with a laugh. “It’s challenging traveling with small children. It’s a whole new ballgame. “But the first challenge was to get back barrel racing.” Olson was pregnant in 2022 and did not compete. She started up again in December while her mother-in-law Marda Olson watched her children. “I couldn’t have done this without her,” Olson said. “It did take a while. It was a matter of balance and timing. It all came together in Rapid City.”
Olson was aboard DMO Fantastic Fiesta, better known as Hemi. The eight-year-old gray off the Olson ranch is out of Frenchman’s Onnahi by Fiesta’s Gotta Gun. “He was super soft and smooth,” Olson said of their run Friday night. “He ran so well it didn’t feel that fast. Then I saw the time. “We’re going to stay with the circuit rodeos this year. We’re excited. We know he is hitting his stride. He proved he can run against the good horses.” Allen entered Rapid City on a whim. Not competing at Fort Worth, she did not want to stay home. “I couldn’t just sit here and not go,” she said.“My computer is never more than three feet away when traveling.” Allen, who owns a spa in Fort Worth, went through a revolving door of potential travel partners. She was originally scheduled to go with Ari-Anna Flynn, who won Rapid City last year, but it overlapped with The American qualifying for Flynn. Jackie Ganter then traded with Flynn to go with Allen but qualified for the Fort Worth Finals. Allen’s father Kenny volunteered and drove to his daughter’s place the morning they left. “I was packing stuff at 6 a.m.,” Allen said. The pair also waited for the ice to melt before hitting the road. “There were a lot of ruts. This is the first time I drove to Rapid City. I kept thinking how stupid this is for one run.” It paid off for Allen and Cinco, a seven-year-old bay registered as Miss JB 165. Allen has owned Cinco, out of Shorease Famous and by The Money Depot, since the horse was two. “She loves the small pattern,” said Allen. “Because of the storm I had six days of no riding. We were going in rusty. I heard the time and thought, ‘Did I hear right?’ “We’re going to go out this summer. We’re going to go for the Finals as long as my horse is healthy and happy. “Rapid City was worth the trip.” Bobbi Olson finished in a tie for first at Rodeo Rapid City after stopping the clock in 13.08 seconds. This was Olson’s third time in the winner’s circle with previous visits in 2018 and 2020 when her last name was Grann. Photo by Clay Guardipee
Kelly Allen almost didn’t make the trip to Rapid City but thanks to her father, Kenny, who volunteered to travel with her she returned to Texas with some cash in her pockets and a new title added to her resume. Allen and her horse Cinco tied with Bobbi Olson after stopping the clock in a time of 13.08 seconds. Photo by Clay Guardipee

FIRST FRONTIER CIRCUIT: BARRELS
WINNER TAKES ALL Mulford Dominates First Frontier Circuit Finals, Earns Fifth Year-End Championship By Josie Fladager F ranklinville, New Jersey cowgirl Christina Mulford earned her fifth First Frontier Circuit championship aboard 23-year-old PanamasCharlieHarly “Harly.” The pair have been unstoppable since Mulford first got Harly in 2017, winning the championship
or reserve championship each year since. Mulford acquiring Harly was never something either of them planned. Mulford was seeking help with another horse in late 2016. She had been riding with the horse’s owner Judy Merola when Merola mentioned the 16-year-old flea-bitten grey out of Special Triangle by Panama Edition, that was standing in the pasture. Joe and Judy Merola presented Mulford with the opportunity to try Harly. Once the team got together in late 2016, they never looked back. Mulford and Harly have made their presence known in the First Frontier Circuit since then. In the last six years the team has won five year-end titles, four Circuit Finals average titles, and had six qualifications to the Ram National Circuit Finals/NFR Open. “He’s just been a super rockstar for me pretty much since the time we started,” Mulford said. The 2022 Circuit Finals was no exception, and Harly’s age is not slowing him down a bit. Mulford and Harly won all three rounds inside the Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex, and Harly ran his fastest time to date inside that arena, stopping the clock at 13.89 seconds in the first round. “He felt great going in [to the finals],” Mulford said. “He felt his usual calm, confident Harly. He just walked around and felt so chill and relaxed with everything.” Harly’s cool demeanor carried them into the second round, and the team ran the fastest time of the night with a time of 14.04 seconds. They finished Saturday night out strong with a time of 13.95 seconds. Mulford’s runs total 41.88 seconds — over a second faster over three runs than anyone else at the circuit finals. Mulford and Harly
were also the only duo to break the 14 second barrier for the week — and they did it twice. Mulford won a total of $9,572 for the week and earned her spot in the NFR Open in Colorado Springs, CO this July. Jen Merriman of Potsdam, New York finished second in the year-end and also qualified for the NFR Open. Mulford says this year-end title is just as exciting as the first but may be a little more special because of their circumstances earlier in the year. Harly was sick for most of the spring, and Mulford did not get to run at some of the rodeos she usually does. By summer Harly was feeling like himself again, but it took until late July for him to really run like himself again. Harly began to get his consistency back, and the team made a surge in the standings. Mulford knew Harly was back when he won three of four rounds in Gerry, New York in early August. The rodeo switched this year to four rounds instead of one, and Mulford was grateful for the change to give Harly’s consistency an opportunity to shine once again. Mulford and Harly are not going to slow down a bit this year. They plan to go to their regular rodeos throughout the year and will make a run for their sixth year-end championship. Harly may be older than most other horses in the race, having run barrels for longer than most of his equine competitors have been alive, but his heart and determination are also greater than most. His consistency and try is what separates him from the field, and his runs continue to look almost effortless. This team will continue to be one to watch in the First Frontier Circuit. Christina Mulford first got Harly in 2017 and the duo has been unstoppable ever since in the First Frontier Circuit winning the championship or finishing reserve every year since. Mulford won all three rounds en route to the average and year-end titles easily earning a trip to the NFR Open in Colorado Springs in July is she chooses to make the trip. Photo by Casey Martin

FIRST FRONTIER CIRCUIT: BREAKAWAY
LOVE WHAT YOU DO Chamberlain wins First Frontier Circuit Breakaway title and earns first NFR Open qualification. By Josie Fladager T he 2022 First Frontier Circuit breakaway champion Cheyenne Chamberlain has a simple message for anyone wanting to rope. “You just have to put in the work and love what you do.” The Fort Ann, New York, cowgirl won the average as well in the second year for the First Frontier Circuit to host breakaway roping in their finals.
Chamberlain got to catch a glimpse of the year-end saddle earlier this summer. Having only ever ridden older saddles, she immediately set her sights on the rough-out saddle with tooled pommel, cantle, and stirrups. Some good wins earned her as high as second in the circuit standings throughout the year, but tough competition had pushed her to third going into the circuit finals in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. But thanks to the growing support of breakaway, the First Frontier ropers raised over $10,000 in added money for their finals to give anyone a fighting chance for the year-end. “We have a lot of proud supporters locally that believe in us, and that alone is pretty much what gave me an opportunity to bypass these girls,” Chamberlain said. “Going into the finals with the added money we had, it was anyone’s game.” Chamberlain caught a leg in her first loop (resulting in a no time), while the two ropers ahead of her in the standings both placed. Chamberlain attacked the next two rounds for day money, thinking she was out the average money and would need to capture the year-end for that saddle. Chamberlain came back strong to place second in the second round with a time of 3.1 seconds. She earned $1,529 while the two girls in front of her failed to record a time. Just like that Chamberlain had another chance to win it all. “It really all came down to the third night for all of us,” Chamberlain noted. A run of 2.6 seconds was winning the final round when Chamberlain backed into the box. Knowing she was not a notoriously quick roper, Chamberlain wanted a good, solid catch to finish out her finals —
the prize money or the round buckle. It was getting to do a victory lap on ol’ faithful “Tequila,” the 23-year-old sorrel gelding she had roped on all year. She chose to ride him rather than her new 5-year-old she had gotten earlier in the year. “He’s the one who won me all my pro-rodeo points, so I figured he earned it,” Chamberlain said. Even though Tequila probably wasn’t the most popular horse in the field, he has worked for Chamberlain for nearly 12 years now. His runs may not be the prettiest, but they are effective. “He is not your top horse-of-the-year type horse,” Chamberlain said with a laugh. “He has a really quirky stop; he’s not a hind end dragging elevens, he is a pop stopper. Not everyone can ride them, but I’ve just always made it work.” Chamberlain attributes most of her roping ability to the “make it work” mentality. She says she and her sister grew up riding the horses they had available and had to be scrappy to get the shots they needed when a horse didn’t exactly set them up. “I think it’s important for anyone to know that you don’t have to have all the money to be able to achieve something like this. I currently drive a 20-year-old pickup and I’m not anything fancy,” Chamberlain said. “I just hope anyone reading gets the message that they shouldn’t not try just because they don’t have the big fancy rig.” Chamberlain will also get to make her first appearance at the NFR Open in Colorado Springs, Colorado this July. Joining her in representing the First Frontier Circuit in the breakaway roping will be Kelsey King. “It’s great to be a part of this association [the WPRA] because it gives us this great opportunity,” noted Chamberlain. “With the northeast there never has been this kind of opportunity. We had a lot of added money, and the prizes are amazing.” Chamberlain is excited about the future of breakaway roping in her circuit.

while trying not to put too much pressure on herself. Score good. Ride hard. Rope smart. “If I can think of those things, it just all lines up for that nice run,” Chamberlain said. She won the final round with a time of 2.4 seconds. She earned another $2,038 to add to her standings total. But the sweetest part of winning the round was not
