Meet the Member Taylor Wells

story by Michele Toberer Taylor Wells had a great 2019 season with the Arkansas Cowboys Association and was grateful that her 11-year-old bay gelding, Chuck, was named the 2019 ACA Horse of the Year. “It really means a lot to me that he won this award because the votes of the other barrel racers determine the Horse of the Year. It took us a long time to get where he is, and I appreciate the…

Meet the Member Martha Hicks

story by Michele Toberer A rodeo secretary is generally the first face competitors see when they check into a rodeo, and the person they search for when they need some help. They’re one of the behind-the-scenes roles that keep everything running smoothly so that rodeo competitors can do what they love weekend after weekend. Martha Hicks, of Harrison, Arkansas has gladly taken on that role, and becoming a rodeo secretary 5 years ago has added…

Meet the Member Paige Mitchell

story by Michele Toberer “I’ve learned life lessons through rodeo; to work hard and never give up, and most importantly to be a fierce competitor, humble winner, and a gracious loser,” claims Paige Mitchell of Pocahontas, Arkansas.

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.

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

story by Michele Toberer At just 18 years old, Johnna Dixon has an affinity for racing fast horses, that she cannot ignore. Johnna’s mom, Nicole Bookout, described her daughter, “She is such a fearless rider, she just runs in the arena as fast and furious as she can go. She has matured a lot as a rider over the years, and I see her with more strategy before an event, checking the stakes and feeling…

Meet the Member Blaine Turner

story by Michele Toberer Winning the 2018 Arkansas Cowboys Association, All-Around Champion Cowboy title was an accomplishment that 19-year-old Blaine Turner will cherish for a lifetime. Winning it the same season that his step-mom, Alex Turner won the All-Around Champion Cowgirl title made it even sweeter for the Turner family. “My step-mom has been really supportive, and us both winning the all-around titles at the same time was a pretty big deal.” Blaine had visions…

Meet the Member Gigi Robey

story by Michele Toberer Gigi Robey is a small-town Arkansas cowgirl that is carrying on the family tradition of roping in the Arkansas Cowboy Association. “I was born and raised in Mountain View, a little town with only two stop lights, I think I’m related to everyone in town!” Growing up, she spent time between Mountain View, where she lived with her mom, Tonya Robey, who works as a bail bondsman; and her dad, Andrew…

Meet the Member Booker McCutchen

story by Michele Toberer Booker McCutchen is just 18 years old and the world of rodeo is wide-open in front of him.
