It was a pleasure to sit and talk with one of the greatest cowgirls ever to pick up a rope, Lari Dee Guy. She is an eight-time world champion, an accomplished horse trainer, a world-class teacher in all things roping, and a close friend to my family and I. Lari Dee is the founder of the Rope Like a Girl campaign and is a big reason why breakaway roping is where it's at today.

Beverly Robbins and Jessy Remsburg are among the most dominant teams in the all-girl roping circuit. You name it they've won it. We had a great conversation about roping and how they got their start, recapped the success of the Women's Rodeo World Championship and what that event means to them, and much more.

This episode focuses on keeping these three steps in order and how doing so will set up your runner faster and better for your heeler.

I got to catch up with Whitney DeSalvo during the Women's Rodeo World Championship in Fort Worth, Texas. Whitney is the highest-numbered women heeler in the world. She has an impressive list of wins including multiple all-girl titles at the BFI and was just crowned the winner in the team roping of the WRWC in AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas bringing home $60,000 with her partner Kenna Francis.

How well your head horse faces significantly impacts finishing your run and stopping the clock. This episode focuses on the importance of finding the balance of facing or not facing in the practice pen, and it boils down to you, your horse, and what issues you may or may not have in the face.
