FINISHING THE YEAR STRONG

in the back to visualize and connect with her horse, while listening to music to keep her breathing steady. She also prays for protection over herself and all other contestants. Harms loves to ride bareback across the fields, and when she gets home she goes to the barn to do her homework and read to her horses for a little extra bonding time. Harms had a wonderful season being our Vice President and put her best foot forward in the arena. She would like to thank her mom, dad, brother, the Farrell family, and her best friends for always making sure she’s okay, that she’s where she needs to be, is always practicing, and for their constant encouragement. Congratulations! We can’t wait to see this cowgirl at state!

Whitt Lowery has always had a passion for this sport and we know the people who’ve encouraged him and his work ethic have only strengthened that passion. Nothing comes easy; everyone goes tough times but this cowboy finally got his first steer down! That takes a lot of courage! Lowery practices every chance he gets, and since he doesn’t have any bulldogging steers, the Shoffners always lend a helping hand. He had an outstanding season, qualifying for state, and would like to thank a few people. “Mom, Dad, and sisters, nothing would be possible without you guys. The Shoffners for bringing out the best practices in me. And Mr. Farrell; without him I would have never made it to state.” Congratulations cowboy! We’ll see you at state!

Ryan Farrell ended this season on a great note by placing top 5 in barrels, poles, and breakaway roping. Farrell is currently preparing for state and is also looking forward to next year’s season. She has always looked up to Madison Outhier because of her work ethic and passion for the sport. Farrell knows that struggles come and go and that learning from them is what matters most. She always analyzes her strengths and failures, which has helped her get to the point she’s at today. This strong cowgirl is also our secretary and we truly appreciate all of her hard work. She would like to thank her number one supporters, her mom, dad, and family, for encouraging her to make it to state! We can’t wait to watch you, Ryan! Congratulations, cowgirl!

Enoch Hall had a wonderful season and along the way his horse taught him manylessons, the most valuable of those, being responsible and never taking anything for granted. After a great weekend’s work, Hall gives his horse a few days off in the pasture to breath in the fresh air. This cowboy had wonderful words of advice for all the athletes trying to make it to state in the years to come. “Always be consistent; if you want it, go get it, and always work hard for what you believe in.” Hall stood strong through his whole season and was thankful to hear his name in the top 10. When asking who he would like to thank he said, “First and foremost my Lord and savior Jesus Christ, my family, and all my great sponsors that stand behind me during the good and bad times”. Congratulations cowboy! We’re all looking forward to seeing you at state!

We wish our cowgirls and cowboys the best of luck as we send them to state in Abilene, Texas, May 21-27, 2023. We’re all rooting for you back home!
