Carole Jackson-Holyan is a proud citizen of the Navajo Nation, rodeo champion, entrepreneur, and cultural advocate. Carole’s story is one of breaking barriers—from becoming the youngest INFR world champion in barrel racing at just 11 years old, to serving as the first and only woman commissioner and vice president of the Indian National Finals Rodeo.

We’ll talk about her journey in the arena and beyond—how her father’s legacy inspired her to champion Native athletes, how she’s grown into a leader for Indigenous women through business and mentorship, and how she continues to bridge cultures through rodeo, education, and community.

So saddle up and join us as we celebrate the power of heritage, leadership, and perseverance—this is Cowgirl Beyond with Carole Jackson-Holyan.
