Meet the Member Kendyl Hutton

story by Lindsay King Mounted on a little bay of her late grandfather’s stock, Kendyl Hutton is following in the footsteps of the man who got her family hooked on rodeo. “When I think of anything I have learned growing up, I think of him [grandpa] first,” said the Sperry, Oklahoma, breakaway roper. “Grandpa did a lot of match racing when he was growing up in Pawhuska and he started roping calves.” Many a barrel…

Meet the Member Nicky Simmons

story by Lindsay King After just missing his chance at the 2005 NFR by a mere $400, Nicky Simmons packed up and headed home to Colcord, Oklahoma. This life-long team roper hit the rodeo trail hard at just fifteen years old and didn’t let up until his 25th year of life. “I was pretty broke after that, so we had to come home and make a living doing something else for a while. Rodeoing for…

Meet the Member John Wayne Giles

story by Lindsay King Many little boys aspire to heel a steer or tie-down a calf, but very few have a burning desire to become a steer roper. Of course, with a name like John Wayne Giles, this Vinita, Oklahoma, native was destined to be a bit punchier than the rest. “When I originally started rodeo I wanted to be a steer tripper and that’s just not something you go straight into. You have to…

Meet the Member Jaylie Matthews

story by Lindsay King Just three short years ago, 18-year-old Jaylie Matthews was mostly running at barrel jackpots and the occasional rodeo or two. After watching her 16-year-old sister Taycie run at the IFR in 2017, Jaylie realized she was missing out on something special. “My sister was determined to make the IFR. She did that and won rookie of the year. My mom and sister talked about how much fun it was so I…

Meet the Member Jimmie Bryant

story by Lindsay King Roping of any kind is a family event for Jimmie Bryant of Jay, Oklahoma. This life-long rodeo competitor can swing a handy loop at both a steer and a calf, but prefers the latter as of lately. It wasn’t until she hit high school rodeo that Jimmie started taking breakaway roping a little more seriously as one of her events. “When I was little they didn’t really have breakaway, just team…

Meet the Member Brenda Martin

story by Lindsay King Brenda Martin’s first rodeo back as an adult was in 2004 and she hauled a barrel horse in a feed truck hooked to a stock trailer. “I married Johnie in 1980 and we started a family soon after that. Both of my girls rodeoed for a bit so I still got to ride and help them. When they quit competing, it was about six years before I got on a horse…

Meet the Member Glenn Jackson

story by Lindsay King Glenn Jackson has found himself attempting just about every event in rodeo at one time or another. The flanking and tying stuck with him the most and he’s been an avid calf roper for the last 20 years. “I was born into a rodeo family. My grandpa was a stock contractor and rodeo promoter, so it [rodeo] was kind of like the family business,” said the Pawnee, Oklahoma, native. Even though…

Meet the Member Austin Lawrence

story by Lindsay King Sometimes the rope in Austin Lawrence’s hand is for calves and other times it is destined for the neck of unruly roughstock. The Sperry, Oklahoma, calf roper started helping his grandpa Seago pickup rodeos when he was only nine years old. “I have gone pretty much everywhere with my grandpa and through that he has taught me everything I know,” said the first-time ACRA card holder. Holding himself up in a…

Meet the Member Charity Pulliam

story by Lindsay King The newly crowned Miss ACRA Charity Pulliam from Marland, Oklahoma, is no stranger to rodeo or queen pageants. In fact, rodeo queen pageants drew her to the sport in the first place when she was only five years old. “I went to the Miss Rodeo Oklahoma coronation fundraiser for Ashley VanHoesen where I was asked if I wanted to be in a rodeo queen pageant. That is what got me started…

Meet the Member Addee Carder

story by Lindsay King Addee Carder simply followed in the footsteps many traversed before her; those of her grandparents, parents, Bob and Shawn, and sister, Kylee Jo. The Miami, Oklahoma, cowgirl had little desire to pursue anything but a solid cow horse and a breakaway loop. “They had breakaway roping at a junior rodeo and my dad figured that I might as well enter if we were going. I liked it better than anything else,…

Meet the Member Kylee Jo Carder

story by Lindsay King A quirky, roan mare and Kylee Jo Carder sit quietly together and score yet another calf from the box. The Miami, Oklahoma, duo has scored more calves in the last two years than most people score in a lifetime of rodeo. It was worth the effort though. “I never thought I would be able to rope off Andee, she was scared to death of people in the box. And the whole…

Meet the Member Angela Chaffin

story by Lindsay King Angela Chaffin left the Ozark Empire Fairgrounds in Novemeber with a few new buckles and the year-end breakaway saddle in the ACRA. But something else was waiting for her just a few days later. An invitation to Las Vegas for the biggest meeting of breakaway ropers the rodeo world has ever seen, Roping for the Crown. “I don’t know much about it really, some girls from Texas are organizing it and…
