The sport of breakaway roping is hopping. Breakaway roping has now been a part of the Wrangler BFI week for three years and can be found at the Charlie 1 Horse All-Girl Challenge. This challenge includes a ladies-only team roping and is followed by a three-round breakaway jackpot.

It is our pleasure to bring to you Amy Woodruff, who by the way placed second out of 100 girls at this event and walked away $5,800 richer. 

Listen up as we discuss the quick set-up that Amy refers to as the snap-crackle-pop. The mature calves they roped. The endurance it takes to team-rope all morning and then turn around and breakaway all afternoon and then top off the evening by competing in breakaway roping at the Reno Rodeo. 

This episode provides tips for getting a good start, what to focus on when you turn walk into the box, what a gold star horse looks like, and how to dream big and rope sharp.
