“Every rodeo I go to I get one run better. That’s what it’s all about for me: to keep making runs and improving,” said Cianfichi. As far as the future goes, Cianfichi has a 2-year-old colt she bought as a weanling that she has started from the ground up. This is the first horse she has had to train from the very beginning and hopes to finish as a breakaway horse. In rodeo, she has her sights set on the National Finals Breakaway Roping and to take horses she has trained. “Horsepower is everything in rodeo, but also making it on a horse that is special to me, I hope I get a chance to do that as well,” said Cianfichi, who is appreciative of all her family’s support. As of now, she is second in the Resistol Rookie breakaway standings and she is only getting started.
