Meet the Member Cassidy Frazier

story by Michele Toberer A freak trail riding accident that resulted in a spiral fracture to Cassidy Frazier’s leg, taking three operations and months of recovery to get past, stopped her quest for the 2016 Arkansas Cowboys Association Champion Breakaway Rookie of the year title, and nearly her hope of riding at all. But the determined Floral, Arkansas cowgirl didn’t have quit in her vocabulary and although she had to fight to regain her coordination…

Meet the Member Briar King

story by Michele Toberer “If I ever really get anything out of calf roping, I hope that it brings someone along their way to Christ. It’s an important thing in my life, but earthly things don’t last, so if I get anything out, I hope it’s to lead someone closer to God, says Briar King of Ash Flat, Arkansas. Briar was born and raised in Ash Flat and started riding bulls as a 14-year-old kid…

Meet the Member Johnna Dixon

When Emily is not working or in class studying to be an elementary teacher, she will most definitely be found in the…
