When not roping, the graduate of Texas A&M-Commerce is a licensed real estate agent in both Oklahoma and Texas. The day after arriving home from Las Vegas, McCartney closed on a property sale. “I don’t let anything take away from roping,” she said. “I have a really good team.

Lockhart’s two previous average titles came aboard superstar horse Louie. Lockhart ran Louie 85 times at the NFR. “It’s a huge accomplishment to do it on another horse and he did it well,” said Lockhart of Levee. “I am blessed to have a horse so consistent. He’s an even-keel horse. Levee is the model of consistency. He never surprises me and that’s what I love about him.” She plans to keep that average buckle close. “It usually goes to the trophy room,” Lockhart said. “I might wear this one for a while. It was a special year.” And fans can expect those earnings records to keep growing. She has no plans of hanging up the reins. “Why not? The horses are still young,” she said of Levee, Cutter and Rosa. “I remember the first time leaving Las Vegas and turning to Grady. ‘I want to come back,’ I told him. “I’ve been doing this a long time.

Jerry Ann Taylor recognized that Western fashion adds to the spirit and fun of rodeo, and I’m honored to accept this award.” Winn received a custom bracelet and a bonus check for $5,000. She accepted the bracelet in her special Rd. 10 shirt that featured butterflies on her cuffs in honor of her grandmother who passed away just months before the NFR. Her grandmother always loved butterflies and it was a great tribute to her guardian angel.
