Meet the Member Ryan Bestol

story by Lindsay Humphrey “I’m not much of a planner,” said Ryan Bestol of his storied rodeo career so far. “When I get something in my head I just go out, do it and try to be the best I can at it.” Despite his ranching background, Ryan didn’t see the backside of the rodeo chutes until the summer before his senior year of high school. “I just woke up one morning and decided that…

Meet the Member Ginalee Sinner

story by Lindsay Humphrey Even though Ginalee Sinner attended her first rodeo at just 4 years old, she hasn’t always been a full-fledged rodeo gal. “I went to some junior rodeos and when I was 8, I started in 4-H. I did a lot of horse showing from then on and through high school, everything from pleasure and horsemanship to reining and cutting. I guess I didn’t just rodeo, I did everything,” said the Sargent,…

Meet the Member Brooke McCully

story by Lindsay Humphrey Seventeen-year-old Brooke McCully is lucky in many ways, but she’s especially thankful for both of her sisters: Brittni, 21, and Brynne, 10. “My biggest inspiration in life is my older sister. She’s always been someone to look up to for me. She’s played a big role in how far I’ve made it in life,” said the Mullen, Nebraska, native. Brooke is also flanked by a younger sister who has been a…

This Rockville, Nebraska, cowgirl proved there were several ways to fulfill that destiny.

Meet the Member Spencer Sinner

story by Lindsay Humphrey After high school rodeo, Spencer Sinner turned his horses out on the ranch and headed to Lincoln. He didn’t competitively rope again until 2013. It might’ve been the break Spencer needed from the team roping arena so he could realize just how much he loved the sport. Spencer spent 3 years at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln before transferring to the University of Nebraska–Kearney where he graduated with a bachelor’s degree in…

Meet the Member Chris Pearson

story by Lindsay Humphrey After hanging up his ropes from high school rodeo, Chris Pearson spent four years playing football and running track at Doane College. Chris took off his cleats for the last time in 1996 and pulled on his boots. They just so happened to fit like a glove still. “I’ve been riding horses and roping or rodeoing since I was a young kid,” said the Broken Bow, Nebraska, native. “I grew up…

Meet the Member Branda Marsh

story by Lindsay King Down time at home isn’t exactly something Branda Marsh is used to, but the coronavirus sure gave her plenty of it. The Thedford, Nebraska, mother of two normally splits her time between family, training barrel horses, working for Thedford Public Schools, and massaging both people and horses as a licensed massage therapist. “This extra time off has been helpful for the two horses I plan to run this year. It’s given…

Meet the Member Brody Cleveland

story by Lindsay King As a University of Nebraska–Lincoln freshman, Brody Cleveland traded in his boots and hat for cleats and a helmet. Brody was a walk-on recruit for the Huskers and played linebacker his first two years in Lincoln. “Playing college football was an awesome experience, but after two years I was kind of burnt out on it. I didn’t see a future for myself in the sport after college, so I decided to…

Meet the Member Patty Finney

story by Lindsay King “Sometimes I feel like I am out of my league, but the barrel racing community is very welcoming. I have met so many people that are very gracious and have given me advice. The western lifestyle is full of people willing to help others do the best they can,” said Patty Finney from Ainsworth, Nebraska. Growing up, Patty was an active 4-Her. Horse shows and playdays quickly turned into high school…

Meet the Member Dustin Wyckoff

story by Lindsay King If you’re afraid of heights, some sage advice might be to face it head on. That’s exactly what Dustin Wyckoff did when he chose to become a lineman after graduating from Northeast Community College with a utility line degree. “Little did I know that you can get over a fear of heights pretty quickly. The first pole I climbed made me realize it wasn’t too bad after all. It was kind…

Meet the Member Miles Garwood

story by Lindsay King “I can’t thank my dad enough, he sacrificed a lot while I was growing up so I could rope,” said Miles Garwood from Atkinson, Nebraska. Born into a family of ranchers who roped, Miles became the roper who helped out on the ranch as a kid. “My dad grew up on a ranch just south of town and they were just too busy to for him to rope above the amateur…

Meet the Member Shelby Hinkle

story by Lindsay King Just before Shelby Hinkle left for Colby Community College in Colby, Kansas, she took to the sport of rodeo. It wasn’t a rash decision, in fact, this had been building since Shelby was growing up in Hayes Center, Nebraska. “My whole family has rodeoed, including my grandparents. We had a fairly big ranch, so I grew up horseback. I went to a lot of team roping jackpots.” Shelby’s college rodeo coach…
