Over her time in ProRodeo, Carlee Otero has learned what it takes to compete at a high level.

She had three qualifications to the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo over four years starting in 2011, then didn’t return to Las Vegas again for a decade. That 10-year hiatus helped the cowgirl reflect on what she loves about the game.

She finished the 2024 campaign sixth in the world standings, placing in six rounds despite a cracked pelvis she suffered at the NFR. A year ago, she landed fifth on the final money list, and she’s hoping the momentum is rolling after her win last weekend at the Music City Rodeo in Nashville.

A couple of WPRA Breakaway Roping Rookies are in the mix this season! Jaci Hammons and Kirby Rawlinson are not only sitting #1 and #2 in the Resistol Rookie of the Year race, they are also battling for a spot at this year's Wrangler WPRA National Breakaway Finals.

Watch out world, Carlee Otero is making her move! After a great week, to include a win in Nashville, TN at the Music City Rodeo, Carlee Otero breaks into the Top 10! Carlee finished the 2025 season ranked #5 in the World Standings after an incredible Wrangler National Finals Rodeo performance where she won 4 out of 10 rounds on the back of her horse AM Regina George.

The WPRA Rookie Morgan Bagnell refuses to be left out of the fun! She has been on Top of the Resistol Rookie of the Year leaderboards this season, and now she sits just outside of the Top 15 of the WPRA Barrel Racing World Standings.

Quick and to the point, the Danielle Lowman way! Making it to the top starts with 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟 and we have gotten used to hearing Danielle's saying "𝐁𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐃𝐚𝐭"! Thank you, Danielle, for providing us with a little motivation on a Monday morning!

Often considered a southern and western United States sport or event, the WPRA and ProRodeo stretches from Alaska to Florida, and Maine to California - we were thrilled to see WPRA Barrel Racer Lisa Lockhart catch a little recognition during this Today Show segment on Regional Accents. No matter where you are from, be sure to sport that regional accent proud during your next winner's interview! It sure is cool to be a cowgirl!

Regional Accents Are Making a Comeback Thanks to Social Media When Boston Globe reporter Emily Sweeney posted a video about a robbery, her New England accent stole the spotlight and generated more than three million views across TikTok and Instagram.
