Written by: Siri Stevens

Cashen Turner made it back to the short go in three events, barrel racing, breakaway roping, and pole bending and is the 2018 IFYR All Around Champion. She started competing when she was five, added pole bending and picked up roping and it all fell into place. She took reserve All Around for Kansas High School this year, reserve champion in barrel racing and pole bending. When she’s not rodeoing or practicing, Cashen is busy working on her clothing line, CT Designs. “For my fifth birthday, I wanted a sewing machine; in 6th grade I wanted a manikin. I put the clothes I’m going to wear on my manikin every day to see how they look,” said the 16-year-old home schooler. “After I started sewing, then came the colored jeans and the blinged-out shirts – all through junior high – every time I walked out of the trailer, dad just shook his head.” Her family recently moved to Edmond, Oklahoma. “I love Edmond – there’s a Starbucks two miles away and in Plains, Kansas, it was an hour away.” She admits having a tough fall. “I came back in the spring; I got a new barrel horse, that’s changed my confidence. I wasn’t clicking with my horse, so we decided I only have so many more years left. Found him through Oxygen, Shot of Fire Water, he’s ran everywhere. Four years ago today he was in Calgary running at the short go. He’s 15, but he doesn’t act like it. He has the heart and the grit.” She’s hoping to go to OSU and study graphic and fashion design. She didn’t get her fashion drive from anyone in her family. “My mom is so tom boy, and certainly not from dad, who focuses on his trailer business, RangeMaster Trailers. My brother plays golf and just went to college to study sports management.”
