Tammy Lewis and Ashtyn Pratz, the duo who stunned the arena and left AT&T Stadium with $64,000 as the 2025 WRWC Team Roping Champions.

At just 16 years old, Ashton roped like she was born for the big stage—calm, confident, and completely unfazed by the pressure. This wasn't her first WRWC buckle, but it was her first time on the heading side. After switching ends and navigating a tough season, she found her stride with Tammy—and together, they put down a run that brought the crowd to its feet.

Tammy Lewis is no stranger to the winner’s circle. A veteran in the women’s rodeo world, she’s been roping since before opportunities like this even existed. From winning breakaway and heeling titles in the early 2000s to jackpotting across the country, Tammy’s story is built on grit, consistency, and a love for the game. This time, it all came together in a one-header for $60K—and she made it count.

We talked about the pressure in the box, the tough steers in the short round, and the roar of the crowd that shook AT&T Stadium. And yes, we covered the fun stuff too—like Ashton’s dream of becoming a tuna fishing captain and Tammy’s world-class skill of changing a flat tire in under five minutes. (Seriously.)

This conversation is for every woman who’s juggled dreams with real life, who’s had to reinvent herself mid-season, or who’s just waiting for her moment in the spotlight. Because whether you're 16 or 60, pro or challenger, there's a place for you in the winner’s circle.

Pull up a seat, listen in, and get inspired by Tammy and Ashton—because they didn’t just win a check, they proved that opportunity meets preparation in the most unforgettable ways.

Taycie Matthews, the barrel racer who showed up to the 2025 Women’s Rodeo World Championship with grit, instinct, and a whole lot of horsepower—and walked away with $70,000 and a gold buckle.

We’re talking about a jaw-dropping 12.6-second run at AT&T Stadium from a cowgirl who didn’t nominate a ton, didn’t overthink it, and still left no doubt she came to win. Her standout mare Pop Rocks didn’t just clock a winning time—she owned that arena, walking out like she knew the crown was already hers.

Taycie opens up about the road that brought her there—from balancing long days working full-time on her family’s sweet potato farm to squeezing in jackpot runs when she can. We talked about life outside the spotlight, what financial independence looks like for a young champ (hint: she’s already saving for retirement), and how she stays grounded and gritty while chasing down big dreams.

This conversation is for every rider figuring it out as they go, for every girl wondering if she’s doing enough, and for anyone who needs a reminder that heart and hustle beat a perfect plan every time.

So pull up a seat and get inspired—because Taycie’s story is proof that doing it your way can still lead to the winner’s circle.

Charmaine Holdren, the limited barrel racer who made one of the most electric runs of the 2025 Women’s Rodeo World Championship. We’re talking about the first 12-second run on the board at AT&T Stadium, from a gal with less than $3,000 won in the Limited Barrel Racing at the WRWC in 2025 on her horse Trick before the finals.

Charmaine opens up about the journey that brought her and Trick—whose name literally means His Way is Perkfect—to that arena. From elbow injuries that nearly ended her career to losing every saddle she owned, and rediscovering her purpose through faith, grit, and obedience, Charmaine’s story is living proof that God doesn’t waste the hard parts.

We talked about what it meant to take red paint and mark Trick’s hip with Psalm 18:30, how it felt when the crowd roared as her name hit the leaderboard, and why letting God into your decisions—your training, your horse program, your entire life—changes everything. This conversation is for every rider who’s doubted themselves, every woman dreaming from the back pens, and anyone who believes their story isn’t big enough.

Spoiler alert: it absolutely is.

So pull up a seat, and get ready to be encouraged—because Charmaine’s testimony is one that’s lighting the way for so many of us. Listen in, be reminded that you’re never too far gone, and keep showing up.

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.

Hi, Welcome back to In The LOOP Podcast! This week, we’re in the heart of Women’s Rodeo World Championship week, and while the best in the world battle it out in Fort Worth for a record-setting $802,000 payout, we’re taking a moment to celebrate a legend who has shaped the industry from the inside out.

I’m honored to sit down with my dear friend, Billie Bray—wife, mom, competitor, Chief Marketing Officer at Equibrand, and now, the 2025 Pam Minick Lifetime Achievement Award recipient. This award is more than a title; it’s a celebration of a lifetime of pushing the envelope for women in western sports—following in the footsteps of Pam Minick herself and joining the ranks of icons like Reba McEntire.

Billie shares the story behind the surprise announcement, her long-standing friendship with Pam, and the memories they share—like taking home the Team Roping title together at the 2007 Windy Ryon. But more than that, Billie reflects on her role in the creation of the Women’s Rodeo World Championship, the importance of offering levels for all women—from limited to challenger to pro—and how this platform is changing the game by providing life-changing opportunities for every stage of a cowgirl’s journey.

We also dig into what keeps her showing up for this industry year after year, how she’s navigated leadership in a male-dominated space, and her advice to women trying to juggle family, career, and rodeo dreams. Spoiler alert—there’s no perfect balance, but the kitchen table is a great place to start.

Billie reminds us that success doesn’t come without the hard lessons—and sometimes the biggest wins come when you keep showing up, even when it’s tough.

Congratulations again, Billie—you make all of us proud. Tune in now to hear her incredible story and join us in celebrating one of the greats.

In Episode 230 of In The LOOP, we sit down with 2024 National Finals Barrel Racing Aggregate Champion, Andrea Busby for one of the most honest and inspiring conversations we’ve had yet. From early rodeo days to finally crossing the Thomas & Mack threshold, Andrea brings us through every twist, turn, and tough lesson along the way.

We talk about what it truly took for her to make her first NFR — and why the timing couldn’t have been better. Andrea opens up about her journey through horse injuries, mental fatigue, and rebuilding her confidence mid-season. She shares the impact of mentors like Brittany Pozzi-Tonozzi and Sue Smith, and how their guidance helped her grow both as a horsewoman and as a competitor.

This episode digs into the gritty realities of rodeo life — from engine failures and barrier mistakes to the pressure of placing when every dollar counts. We reflect on her placing in 9 out of 10 NFR rounds, winning the average, and doing it all with grace, grit, and deep faith.

Andrea reminds us that success isn’t about a single run — it’s about the thousands of miles, hard days, and quiet victories that lead you there. Her story is powerful, relatable, and full of the kind of wisdom we all need to hear.

In this episode of In The LOOP with Jordan Jo, we sit down with Criquett Chapman — a vice president by day and a fierce competitor by weekend. Criquett shares her incredible journey from a small-town team roper with no rodeo legacy to breaking barriers in the WRWC as a limited breakaway roper. We talk about balancing career and competition, growing up in sports, family roping adventures, and stepping outside your comfort zone. This one’s for every woman who juggles it all — and still shows up to win.

She’s a mom, a wife, a full-time VP at a college… and still finds time to throw her name in the hat at the Women’s Rodeo World Championships. Criquett isn’t just stepping into the arena—she’s stepping way outside her comfort zone to compete in three divisions this year: Pro Heading, Challenger Heeling, and for the first time ever, Limited Breakaway.

We dove into everything—how growing up in a non-rodeo family shaped her grit, the accident that changed her family’s season, and what it’s like to compete in the same division as her teenage daughter. Criquett opened up about balancing a demanding career while chasing big goals in the roping pen, and the courage it takes to go head-to-head with athletes half her age.

One of my favorite parts of our chat? Hearing her talk about stepping into breakaway after a lifetime of team roping, and why she’s doing it to support the growth of women’s rodeo—especially for the next generation. Criquett reminded me that you’re never too late, too busy, or too old to chase what lights your fire.

Y’all, this week’s episode is super special to me—I'm bringing back the very first guest I ever had on the show: my good friend, rodeo legend, and multi-time World Champion Martha Angelone.

I’ll never forget when we recorded our first episode—literally in the front seat of a Dodge truck at circuit finals with a cell phone and Raymond in the backseat. Fast forward, and now Martha’s back with a ton of wins, big money earned, and even bigger insight on how she’s crushing the Women’s Rodeo World Championships game.

We talked all things WRWC, and Martha didn’t hold anything back. She broke down exactly how she’s earned over $325K in WCRA and more than $228K in WRWC—from her weekly nomination strategy to how she sets herself up for success in breakaway, heading, and heeling.

One of my favorite moments from the episode was hearing her talk about winning $90K in one week, buying her horse Jesse James, and how that single moment changed her career. Martha is proof that hard work, strategy, and a little faith go a long way.

One thing Martha said that hit me hard:

“If I didn’t keep going, I wouldn’t be here today… not on this podcast, not anywhere.”

If you haven’t started nominating yet, let this episode light that fire. And hey, use my code HOLLABAUGH10 to save some money on those entries. I’ll see y’all in May at the WRWC Finals!
