Y’all, I’m still catching my breath from one of the most electric weeks in women’s rodeo history. In this episode of In The LOOP, I sat down with Sammy Jo Smith and Lindsay Rosser-Sumpter to break down everything that went down at the 2025 Women’s Rodeo World Championships—and let me tell you, it was one for the books.

AT&T Stadium was absolutely booming. From start to finish, it felt like the entire sport of women’s rodeo leveled up. We saw Limited, Challenger, and Pro athletes compete side-by-side on the biggest stage, and it was clear—we’re not just “in the loop”… we’re leading it.

Charmaine Holdren gave me goosebumps in the barrel race, nearly winning it all as a Limited athlete. Ashton Pratts and Tammy Lewis teaming up and taking the win was such a powerful moment—one that reminded me just how much legacy and future can exist in the same arena.

We also got real about what it takes behind the scenes to bring an event like this to life. From months of Zoom calls and logistics to working with amazing partners like PBR, WCRA, and Cowboy Channel, this was the biggest and best WRWC yet.

And we’re already charging into 2026. More events. More opportunities. Double points. Bigger payouts. Our partnership with NBHA is creating new doors for barrel racers. Chris Neal Productions is bringing in more chances for breakaway ropers, and the Kimes Ranch Million Dollar Breakaway is changing the game completely.

If you’re a cowgirl dreaming of a bigger platform, or you’re someone who believes in the power of this sport—we’ve got a place for you. The momentum is real, and it’s only growing.

Tune in, subscribe, and come along. This is just the beginning.
