Meet Cailey Divine, a remarkable 17-year-old who embodies the perfect balance of academic excellence and rodeo prowess. Already taking college-level courses while serving as her FFA chapter president, she's set to graduate with an associate's degree before even finishing high school—all while competing at championship levels in breakaway roping, barrel racing, and pole bending.

From her earliest days on horseback to winning rounds at prestigious events like Oklahoma's Richest Breakaway Roping, Cailey's journey reveals the extraordinary dedication required to excel in both academics and rodeo. Her strategic approach to time management—completing homework during long drives to competitions—demonstrates wisdom beyond her years. With multiple sponsorships from industry leaders like Prefert, Heel-o-matic, and Smarty Rodeo (where she now serves as a trainer), Cailey has established herself as a rising star in the rodeo world. 

What truly sets Cailey apart is her crystal-clear vision for the future. After exploring various career paths, she's set her sights on agricultural communications with the goal of becoming a rodeo broadcaster—a dream sparked by meeting professionals in the field. Her perspective on the unique supportive culture within rodeo provides heartwarming insight into why this community remains special: "Someone's horse is sore? Jump on mine. Blow a tire? We're coming to get you." Behind her success stands incredibly supportive parents who've built practice arenas, driven countless miles, and maintained her rigorous schedule. Cailey's advice rings true for anyone chasing dreams: find your passion, surround yourself with supportive people, and never let others' opinions derail your journey. Ready to be inspired?
