Tell me about your #12 and #9 wins: In the #12, I was roping with my husband’s old rodeo partner BJ Roberts. I also run barrels, but I feel like team roping is more fun, and you can win a lot more being an amateur team roper than a barrel racer. My husband and I, we are team ropers and ranchers, and that’s just what we are, and it’s what we love. I love roping up here in Idaho, but I also wanted to rope and compete with the tough ropers down in Arizona, so that’s really what I’ve been working on. But team roping has just been something I have always wanted to strive to be good at, because it’s such a challenge. So once I decide to do something, I am going to be the very best at it. It’s in my roots, but also, I’m a very determined person.

I went on a 10-year hiatus, but eventually came back to it. I did some breakaway roping in high school, and did a little team roping, but never a lot, and I didn’t really put much dedication to it. How you got into roping: I grew up on a ranch and farm, and roped a good portion of my life, while I also did some branding. The opportunity you get to go and qualify for the Las Vegas Finale, you just don’t get that in any other sport as an amateur.īiggest win: The biggest win I had was the #9 in the Homedale, Idaho, roping on April 8, but really, that whole weekend. They are some of the best put on ropings around here in Idaho.

I have never been to a USTRC or ACTRA roping, so I wouldn’t know about those however, the money and the opportunity is so great at the World Series ropings. Association of preference:World Series of Team Roping by far, all though NTR is good as well.
