for the title. The competition was tough from the beginning
right up until the end, and it all came down to the last round.
Being consistent and getting my calf roped sealed the deal.
It was an amazing feeling. That was when I really realized,
that all my hard work over the years, had paid off. All I set
out to win this year was my Ladies Breakaway title but what
happened after that was a bonus.

Going into the finals, I had a great lead in the Ladies Breakaway
roping with just under a $10,000 lead from the girl that was
second so I knew I just had to go and enjoy roping.
With being only 3.5 points between myself and the girl leading,
it was going to come down to whoever had the best finals. I
had a great second round for Steer Undecorating, winning the
round and finishing 2nd in the Average, 3rd in the round of
Ladies Breakaway and 2nd in the Breakaway average. This
secured the Finals and All Round Cowgirl, along with the
National All Round Cowgirl. I won a saddle for each event,
along with buckles, Hat Vouchers, Horse Supplements, rugs
and prizemoney. I also got to have celebratory drinks with my
family, friends and sponsors. That was the best!’
A HUGE THANKYOU
‘To my Mum, Dad, Nan and Mick for always being there to help
me, to Sallie Pilgrim and Heath Nichols for everything they’ve
done to help with my Steer Undecorating, to my travelling
partners, amazing support all round! To my sponsors, Hidez
with Bianca Tribe, Equine Diatom, CRSF Western Wear and
BelJade Custom Leather – You’re not only very important to
me, but also to our sport of Rodeo.’
MY FUTURE PLANS
‘I have some big plans and goals. I plan to qualify for the
ABCRA National Finals in the Ladies Breakaway, Ladies
Barrel Racing, Ladies Steer Undecorating and Team Roping all
in the same year. I plan to qualify for the APRA National Finals
the same year for Breakaway Roping. My aim is to win another
Ladies Breakaway and Ladies All Round Title and a Ladies
Steer Undecorating Title. I do also have a goal to qualify and
compete in American Breakaway roping.’
