Bio:
I am a 16 year old sophomore at Liberty High School. I am from a small town in West Virginia. I am a determined girl with big goals that I intend on accomplishing. I am a member of the West Virginia High School Rodeo Association. I compete in 5 events: Barrel racing, pole bending, goat tying, team roping, and breakaway. At the 2017 NJHFR in Lebanon, TN I placed 15th in the average in Barrel racing, I was the all around cowgirl at several Multi-state High School rodeos- Battle By the Bay, Mountaineer Stampede, and Field Days of the Past. In 2018 at the NJHFR In Huron, SD I placed 8th in the average in barrels(4th in the 2cnd go which was the fastest time in my performance), and also 19th in the average in Team roping. I also won the all around at the 2018 Shenandoah Shootout. In year end points I was the all around cowgirl for the state of WV. My freshman year, I was not only the Rookie of the Year but also the All Around Cowgirl for the state of WV! At the 2019 NHSFR I ended up placing 28th in the average in pole bending. I have many goals that I strive to conquer in my future. I plan to work hard and devote my time to bettering my performance in both the arena and in school. I love to spend time with my family and start young horses on barrels!!!

I started rodeo when I was 7 in Texas, but I moved around some and ended up in West Virginia. I started back riding bulls and I’m going to try my luck at bareback riding in the NHSRA event in Jackson, Ohio. I’ve always been involved in some sort of sport such as basketball, soccer, football, and golf. It has been very difficult to find rodeos in West Virginia, but I hope to ride much more in the coming future. I also am very active in my church and community in helping those in need.

Bio:
I love to rodeo, I have been apart of rodeo ever since I was young and could sit on a horse on my own! I have grown over the years and have learned so much about rodeo, how to take care of my horses, how to deal with all the losses and all the wins, and much more. Outside of rodeo I love spending time with my family and doing things outdoors. I also love to learn, so college is something I look forward to in my future and to add rodeo on top of that sounds awesome!

Kelsey Hallin
Kelsey Hallin
Bio:
My name is Kelsey Hallin and I am a 19 year old, college sophomore looking to transfer into a rodeo college. I’ve been rodeoing for 7 years going to mostly high school, amateur and open rodeos; however I also enjoy “all around cowgirl challenges” with events like team sorting, trail etc. In high school rodeo I competed in all 7 women’s events and was sitting in the all around cowgirl position coming into state finals until a serious life change prevented me from competing and moving forward to nationals. Aside from strictly rodeo events I also served as the Wisconsin High School Rodeo Queen for two years where I went on to win the written test at the national finals and place 9 my first year and 5 my second year- record breaking success for a Wisconsin queen. I currently compete in mainly IPRA, Big Hat or open rodeos across the Midwest in the barrel racing and breakaway, but also goat tying and pole bending when the venue offers such events. During the week, I work around northern Illinois as a colt starter for 2 main facilities and also train a few breakaway and barrel horses out of my own facility. One of the barns I work for has a veterans program which matches veterans with mustangs to help reintegration the veterans into society and easy mental stress. I volunteer approximately 40-60 hours a month with this program, “Operation Wild Horse” teaching free lessons, fundraising and attending parades or community events. I also serve as their head trainer domesticating, breaking and creating useful mustangs for the program.

Born and raised in southwestern Wyoming, rodeo isn’t just something I do to pass the time, it’s something that I live for. Rodeo has brought me too many opportunities such as I qualified for the Junior High National Finals in 2017 in team roping, splitting third and fourth in the state. I have also been a part of my high school volleyball and basketball team and I have lettered the past two years in both sports. I am also a member of the Farson-Eden student council. This will also be my eleventh year doing 4-H. College rodeo has always been a goal and dream of mine.

Bio:
I am a senior at Imlay City High School. I have been riding horses and competing since I was seven years old. Horses are my passion and I really enjoy training and competing. I have been competing in rodeo for little over three years now. I got a new horse and have been figuring her out on the pattern. Before I started rodeo, I competed in reined cow horse and reining. I still do, on my horse, Th Cougar Hunter. I have won many state titles with him in Michigan foundation quarter horse association and high school rodeo. He doubles as a calf horse for my friend and my breakaway horse. My strength is reined cow horse, but rodeo is becoming much better for me and I am getting more competitive with the girls I compete against. I have always wanted to rodeo in college. It gives me an opportunity to test myself and keep my horse passion alive as I go through everything. I have yet to finish my spring and final season with Michigan high school rodeo, but I feel it will be a good one. My horses are working good and I have been practicing all winter.

As a rodeo competitor, I am proud of the hard work that I put in to be successful. I understand the value of dedication. I am very goal oriented, making time for weekly, monthly, and yearly goal planning with the action plan it will take to help me reach those goals. I have overcome many obstacles, including a fractured pelvis and a learning disability, focusing on the positives to push through the tough times and come out on the other side a better and stronger person. I also understand the responsibility that comes along with my success in the arena. Other competitors and parents alike are watching me both in and out of the arena. It is my goal to be an encourager and positive influence to those around me and to prove what you can accomplish through hard work.

Bio:
My name is Alexia Wood, I am currently a sophomore enrolled in West Branch Area High School of Morrisdale, Pennsylvania. I have lived in this small town my entire life. I share the same small-town values of family and helping those in need of many people in this great place. I am a first-generation rodeo competitor and hope to spread rodeo through future generations. Everyone has to start somewhere, I started to rodeo in eighth-grade qualifying for the 2018 National Junior High School Finals Rodeo hosted in Huron, South Dakota in barrel racing and pole bending. Last year as a freshman I qualified for 2019 National High School Finals Rodeo hosted in Rock Springs, Wyoming, I qualified in reined cow horse. I love to train young horses, watching them grow from a little colt into an amazing athlete amazes me every time. Rodeo has given me life long friends and a second family, I only want to give back to the sport that has given so much to me. I am simply a small-town girl with big dreams that wants a good education with fun and growth along the way.

Bio:
I was riding horses before I could even walk! I started competing by myself on a horse at age 2. My mom grew up rodeoing and my dad was a state champion wrestler. My dad has tried time and time again to get me to do anything but rodeo, but rodeo is who I am and what I love to do. I have won numerous awards, prizes, etc. I have won 8 all around saddles in the last 3 years along with all around buckles. I have made it back to short go at National Finals (top 20) in one or more events the last 4 years. My main goal is a world title. I ended up tied 4th/5th for a world title last year. I also play volleyball and run track. I am seriously considering not doing other sports this year so I can focus toward my goals I set for myself in rodeo. NLBRA is the only association I compete in now because my brother plays baseball and with his busy schedule, I can hit and miss rodeos but yet still qualify and be sitting pretty good at finals. I plan to do High School Rodeo next year if it works out. I plan to go to college and get what I need to plan for a great career, but I will always have rodeo and my horses in my life! Rodeo is who I am and what I do!

Bio:
I have had horses since the age of 11, starting with an old pleasure horse to teach me how to ride, after 5 years I moved up to my roping horse and recently bought a contesting horse. I have been raised on a farm but have had to pay for my own horses and teach myself due to my parents not growing up with them. It has been challenging but as I near my senior year my heart is still into rodeo and I don’t believe that will ever change. I plan on attending northwest state community college to get my gen Ed’s before I decided my career path. I would still love to explore and see what my future holds wherever it is.

Bio:
I’m Kaylee Latorre, I currently compete in barrel racing and pole bending. I attend Campbell County High School in Wyoming. Rodeo has put a huge impact on my life! I love getting to travel all over to get to do what I love while also seeing all my friends from all over! I have competed in Little Britches, High School Rodeo, and lots of jackpots and rodeos. However, I tend to like high school rodeo and the jackpots more. This year I decided to focus on my young horse and not do little britches as it takes up a lot of time on the weekends when I would rather be at a jackpot or high school show seasoning my young horse and competing on my more finished horse. Rodeo to me is very important. It’s what I love to do, and I feel that it teaches a lot of responsibility and patience. When I have an off weekend from rodeoing I enjoy watching my siblings play hockey, and baseball, my family is big into sports and it is just fun to watch each other and spend time with family. After this year I plan to further my schooling in business while also college rodeoing!
