14 WPRA NEWS MAY 2019 World champ gives Mom credit for all her success By Johnna Cisneros ailey Kinsel’s barrel racing career has exploded the last couple of years. Her list of victories includes wins many athletes spend their entire lives trying to attain. And here is the kicker, she is just 24 years old! HThe Cotulla, Texas cowgirl is the reigning WPRA World Champion and she was the reserve world champion in 2017. Kinsel, and her partner, DM Sissy Hayday, “Sister” have earned some impressive wins (see box) and she has a straight forward answer when asked how much credit her mother, Leslie, should get for her success. “Oh, all of it,” Kinsel said. “My mom is the barrel horse person in our family. She has always been interested in it – competing, training. When I was a kid she would let me go riding with her every day and I learned how to train from her. That is just what we did together. We ride exactly the same and train exactly the same. Everything I learned I learned from her. ” Mom and daughter are so similar that they help each other run the barrels even when they are outside the arena standing and watching. A now-famous video shows Leslie’s body moving as if she was running the barrels while watching Hailey and Sister run at the San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo where Hailey was a repeat champion this year. “Almost all horse parents do that. All parents can relate,” Hailey said. “In her mind, she is helping me. It’s the same thing as hollering to help someone do well. I do the same thing watching her.” Hailey gives her mom, her 8-year-old mare and her support team, which includes, dad, Dan, and brother, Matt, credit for her success and that humility is something that Leslie instilled in her daughter from a young age. Leslie taught her daughter to work hard and appreciate what she had.

MAY 2019 WPRA NEWS 15 RODEO RECAP CLUTCH IN CLARK COUNTY Big Nevada win helps Pluemer stay in world standings hunt By Neal Reid

t’s no secret the rodeo season is a lengthy grind, so seizing quality opportunities every month along the way is crucial to success. That’s exactly what second-year barrel racer Leia Pluemer did Iin Logandale, Nev., where she guided her prized horse Sister to the average crown and a $4,898 pay day at the Clark County Fair & Rodeo on April 14. The Las Lunas, N.M., cowgirl followed a 10th- place opening-round finish with a blistering 17.31-second run to win the short go and take the average in 35.01 seconds. Pluemer and Sister – a 9-year-old sorrel mare – edged Stevi Hillman by nine-hundredths of a second for the average crown, securing a much-needed Springtime boost to her bank account. “It was exciting,” said Pluemer, the 2018 WPRA reserve Rookie of the Year. “It was kind of a hometown arena for her, so I knew she’d do well. I thought the ground was good, and I think she handled it well.” A 17.70-second run in the long go netted the UNLV graduate a $307 check for 10th place, but Pluemer knew she and Sister could do better. It all came together in a near-perfect run in the short round. “Going into the short round, I wanted to just have a clean, quick run,” said Pluemer, who finished 35th in the 2018 WPRA World Leia Pluemer guided her prized horse Sister to the average crown and a Standings. “The second run she has on a ground is usually always $4,898 payday at the Clark County Fair and Rodeo in Logandale, Nev.

Through mid-April, Pluemer stood 22nd in the standings with at the RAM National Circuit Finals Rodeo in Kissimmee, Fla., March $22,934, and she hopes to keep picking up checks at each stop down 21-24, while representing the Turquoise Circuit against a stacked field the road. of talented horses and barrel racers. Emerging victorious from another “I’ll gladly take every little bit I can get,” she said. “I feel like it’s strong group in Logandale has Pluemer optimistic about the rest of the spring season, and she expects to be busy the next couple months as she chases her first Wrangler National Finals Rodeo berth. “I’m in Red Bluff and am going to Lakeside, Springville and Clovis, then will hit more California rodeos in May before heading home for a couple weeks at the end of May,” Pluemer said. “I’ll get my horses shod and make sure they’re feeling good.” Pluemer is leasing an 11-year-old palomino gelding named Special Firewater, or “Queso,” and said she will put him in the rotation throughout the spring and summer. “I plan to run him at some rodeos and give Sister a bit of a break,” Pluemer said. “I’ll probably run her at the ones she did well at last year and run him at the other ones. I’ve been looking for a backup for a long time, so I’m glad we found him. “It’s crucial, especially with all the miles we haul. My game plan, whether I have one or two horses, is to get there a day or two early so they can rest and will be ready to run once rodeo time runs around.” That rest could be a big boost for Sister, who Pluemer expects to see excel in the coming months. “Sister’s been running really well lately,” Pluemer said. “She didn’t Mandee Davis presented Leia Pluemer with the barrel racing buckle from (exactly) struggle with the winter indoor rodeos, but she runs so much the Clark County Fair and Rodeo.

16 WPRA NEWS MAY 2019 RODEO RECAP BELIEVE IN YOURSELF A Change in Attitude Led Emily Miller to the Title in Austin

By Amy Wilson

fter developing a love for horses because of her baby-sitter who was a barrel racer, Emily Miller started obtaining success throughout the rodeo ranks where she became an Aall-around hand and record-setter in Little Britches, high school and college rodeo. She has worked to build an impressive set of barrel horses, and now as a WPRA barrel racer, she already has a Ram National Circuit Finals Rodeo championship and most recently she won Rodeo Austin. The Kansas native works as a dental hygienist in Weatherford, Monday through Wednesday which complicates the winter rodeo schedule. “It’s caused a lot of all night drives to get to a rodeo on time or to get home for work,” Miller explained. “But I’m very fortunate to have a good job and an understanding boss. It’s manageable, but it’s tough.” The biggest challenge is trying to keep her horses in top shape, especially since she doesn’t have an arena and during the winter it’s usually dark by the time she gets home from work. She started off the year by winning a round at , but admits that the winter rodeos have been a “rollercoaster”. “We were so close to doing really great things, but we just kept having hiccups,” she said as she remembered winning a round at San Antonio, followed Prior to the final round at Rodeo Austin each contestant gets a new by a tack malfunction on her next run. Because her 7 year old mare, back number and so Emily Miller decided to change things up hoping it Namgis D 56 “Foxy”, was unable to compete, she was left without the would result in a different outcome and it did. She wrote “2019 Austin horse that’s so well-suited for the winter building rodeos, and had to Champion” and told herself that she could do it. In fact, she made a depend almost entirely on Namgis D 33 “Chongo”. “I started fighting promise to herself to believe in herself and she said she didn’t like to my head. I knew I had a horse that was fast enough to win,” Miller break promises to herself. In the end, she was crowned the 2019 Rodeo Austin Champion. Photo by Kirt Steinke said. Although she started doubting herself, she’s always believed in Chongo. “He’s phenomenal – a very talented athlete and loves his job.” Before Rodeo Austin, she and Chongo had a couple of runs that page to be a consistent, successful team. A talk with her dad, Tom, weren’t exactly a good confidence boost going into a rodeo she knew and consulting with Kylie Weast, who trained Chongo, was just what could be a game changer for her season. She was struggling to figure she needed to find some solutions. “My dad said, ‘Emily, you’re just out what she was doing wrong and why they couldn’t get on the same trying so hard to be fast that you’re cutting corners. You need to make a bigger turn’,” she remembered with a laugh. He made it sound so easy which made Miller realize she had been over-complicating it. “It was a light bulb moment for me,” she said. “Chongo has a huge motor, and he can make up a lot of time. I just wasn’t giving him enough room in his turns.” With the new game-plan, Miller and Chongo placed fifth in the first round and the semifinals at Rodeo Austin. Miller believes that rodeo is 90-percent mental, and she knew that she had to change her attitude as she reflected on why she wasn’t thriving or finishing the job the way she wanted at some of the other winter rodeos. “I know horses like him are so rare, so I hated wasting runs on him when I knew he was capable of winning,” she said. Since Rodeo Austin gives each contestant a new back number for every round, Miller decided to do something different with her finals back number. “When I have a successful trip, I keep my back-numbers and I write down my time and what I placed,” she said. But on this number, she wrote, “2019 Austin Champion”. “I told myself, ‘You can do this. Believe in yourself. You know your horse Each winner at Rodeo Austin receives a commemorative Rodeo Austin can do it, but you as his jockey can do it too.’ It was a promise to branding iron. Emily Miller (second from right) receives her branding iron myself, and I really try not to break promises to myself.” from rodeo president Joe Straub (right) following her winning run.

MAY 2019 WPRA NEWS 31 ANGELS AMONG US Lucky Lotto Barrels for Angels Raises Money for Neal McCoy’s East Texas Angel Network By Allie Bohus

ust like every barrel racer has a story, so does every barrel race. One that holds a special place in Dina Reynolds’ life is the Lucky Lotto Barrels for Angels that will mark its sixth year in 2019. Reynolds founded this event which is held at the Marshall City Arena in Marshall, Texas and she works tirelessly year after year toJ ensure the growth and success of the event very dear to her heart. Reynolds, who rode her first horse at age 4, has been around horses and rodeo her whole life. From competing in high school rodeo to putting on barrel races & team ropings, Reynolds has a deep appreciation and understanding of the rodeo and western lifestyle, all while working a full time job at the State of Texas. She also works for PRCA World Champion Tie-Down Roper Tyson Durfey and his wife, Shea Fisher-Durfey, with their company Shea Michelle Buckles. Reynolds was first introduced to the East Texas Angel Network (ETAN) through photographer Stefanie Yoder, when she was invited to work the event photo booth at the annual ETAN sponsor dinner in 2011. After hearing testimonies and meeting some of the Angels, “it just kept tugging at me to produce some type of event,” Reynolds said. ETAN is an organization that is “committed to the enhancement of the lives of the children of East Texas who are living with terminal or life threatening illnesses. We are resolved, through fundraising activities, to provide financial assistance for living expenses and related cost to the children of East Texas and their families, in order to enhance the quality of life for children facing the challenge of disease.” The organization was founded in 1995 by County Music Artist, Neal McCoy and his wife Melinda. Each year ETAN hosts several fundraising events including: a Golf Tournament, Sponsor Dinner/Auction and a Neal McCoy Benefit Concert. When Reynolds returned to the same fundraiser a couple of years later she walked up to Neal McCoy and told him she would like to introduce the Angel Network to the horse industry. “He looked at me and said, ‘What are you waiting on?’ I thought ‘Wow that was easy!’ Then he said, ‘Girl you just call the office and get what you need.’ I told him ‘This was a God Thing’ because 1. He was standing by Neal McCoy founded the East Texas Angel Network and for six years himself (that never happens!) and 2. He was just standing there (and Dina Reynolds has been putting on a barrel racing with proceeds going to that never happens!),” Reynolds said with a smile. his foundation. McCoy is a big supporter and each year signs the barrels Reynolds became attached to the cause after the loss of her father, used at the event and then they are auctioned off raising additional funds stepfather (who is honored through the Fast Time buckle) and, for the Angel Network.

32 WPRA NEWS MAY 2019 subsequently, close friend and GRA/WPRA Gold Card member, Bess Chaney. “When you go through things like that you realize how blessed we are. I wanted to find something that we could do locally, that we knew where the money was going and we could see what it was doing. The Angel network is the real deal,” Reynolds said. So she started the Lucky Lotto Barrels for Angels barrel race with a large portion of the proceeds going directly to the ETAN. There are so many costs a family may incur while their child is in and out of hospitals, excluding the medical care itself. For example paying to park at the hospital could be $20/day, if a parent is there for a month that adds up quickly. Not to mention the (often unpaid) time parents take off work to be with their children; their expenses skyrocket as their paychecks dwindle. ETAN helps families eat, pay gas, pay a water bill, etc. “It helps the families with expenses we think are secondary expenses, but are primary to them when dealing with a child with such medical needs,” Reynolds said. The financial expenses can be unimaginable regardless of income. The children and their stories is what fuels the fire in so many to give back. They are what inspired the McCoy family to fund ETAN. They inspire Reynolds and her staff. Their strength amidst unimaginable hardship are what drive the entire Angel network and why Reynolds strives to make the Lucky Lotto Barrels for Angels grow each year. Reynolds spoke of one young boy who she had gotten to know over the years of hosting the event (some Angels usually come and watch the event itself). This little boy was busting at the seams with personality - a very lovable youngster. One year East Texas had significant rainfall, and the little boy’s mother called Reynolds and told her they would not be able to attend the event because of the rain. Reynolds didn’t understand why the rain would prevent them from attending an event that the boy loved so much. His mother explained to Reynolds that the little boy’s condition makes his bones “turn to paper” when it rains. So even delicately picking him up could cause him to break a bone. Stories like this one are why Reynolds is so passionate about the Texas. There will be $17,000 in added money, great prizes and it is a ETAN. “It reminds us how blessed we are,” Reynolds said.

Donations are also taken at the race, and those interested can make a check out to ETAN and give to Dina Reynolds. There will also be an online auction on Dina’s website and a silent auction on site. The online auction will feature items such as a Gordy Alderson bit, Billy Cook saddle, and a spot at one of Martha Josey’s clinics, just to name a few. Neal McCoy also personally signs the three barrels used, and then those are silent auction items. In 2017, the barrels were auctioned off for almost $2,000. When Reynolds produced her first Barrels for Angels, they were able to give back almost $3,500 to ETAN. In 2018, they donated $10,900. Before the first event, Reynolds told Neal McCoy ‘it may bring in $100 or $10,000.’ Neal responded ‘if it brought in $5, that is $5 more than we had. It is all a gift’.” Reynolds would like to thank her sponsors - without their financial Dina Reynolds (right) first attended an East Texas Angel Network event in contributions this event would not be possible.

For WPRA barrel racing fans, it’s a chance to see WPRA $2 million cowgirl Lisa Lockhart match up with fellow Wrangler National Finals Rodeo ladies like Ivy Conrado, Jessie Telford and WPRA World Champion Hailey Kinsel as well as squaring off against top circuit standouts like Sabra O-Quinn, Meka Farr and Cheyenne Allan. In 2019 there were two other cowgirls in the mix, ladies competing not only for their own individual goals but with the hopes of an entire nation of rodeo fans on their shoulders. For the second time in both their young careers, Paulina Ochoa Rivera and Luisa Herrera represented the Federacion de Mexicana de Rodeo (Mexican Rodeo Foundation) in Kissimmee, Florida, the RNCFR’s home since 2015. Back in 2016, the PRCA signed a new agreement with the Mexican Rodeo Foundation to expand pro rodeo’s reach south of the border— Mexico rodeo events are now co-sanctioned to count for points for both PRCA and WPRA standings and has been given a spot at the RNCFR with two competitors—the year-end champion as well as the season-ending finals rodeo champion—just like each circuit. Competing in the RNCFR offers a unique opportunity to cowgirls Paulina Ochoa Rivera was from both sides of the border and is a terrific accomplishment. But while honored to represent the the cowgirls may be separated by culture, language, and international Federacion de Mexicana de Rodeo (Mexican Rodeo borders, the similarities between Ochoa Rivera and Herrera and their Foundation) in Kissimmee, counterparts in the U.S. are many, signifying that barrel racing—or Florida, at the 2019 RNCFR for barriles—truly is a universal language between cowgirls who love the second time in her career. speed and horses.

The conditions are better for your horse and for you.” Most of the events are held in the state of Chihuahua, Mexico’s largest state found in the Northwest of the country, just south of West Texas. “It’s easy for us,” says Hererra of the travel demands. “We travel just a little.” Ochoa Rivera makes her home in Cuauhtemoc, the state of Chihuahua’s main agricultural hub located about an hour west of the capital. “Almost all of the rodeos are in the capital of the state, some are out of state, but most are in Chihuahua, different cities but not that far,” Competing in the RNCFR offers says Ochoa Rivera. logistical challenges to members Fortunately, the climate is moderate, not experiencing bouts of of the Mexico Circuit—such as severe winter weather. crossing international borders “When it rains, the mud is bad,” says Ochoa Rivera. with horses in tow—so both Luisa Herrera (shown above) and Punching Their Tickets Again Paulina Ochoa Rivera elected to Like many barrel racers, Herrera had her share of challenges in lease horses rather than travel the 2018 rodeo season.

MAY 2019 WPRA NEWS 37 JUNIOR MEMBER SPOTLIGHT HEROIC ACTION Butler and Love Forever Linked After Boating Accident By Kristen M. White

icole Love and Rylee Butler will be forever linked. After all, had it not been for the efforts of Butler, and help from Love’s boyfriend Shane Overby, Love would not be here to tell her Nstory. Love, a WPRA member, and Butler, a 15-year-old WPRA Junior member, Oberby and a few other contestants and friends went for an airboat ride one afternoon along the Peace River after they were done at the Arcadia, Florida, rodeo. Just before they returned to the boat ramp, a freak accident left Love unconscious in the water. Thanks to Butler’s quick thinking and CPR efforts, Love’s life today is back to normal. “I’ve known Rylee and her mom for years, competing with them. If it wasn’t for Shane finding me in the river and for Rylee (doing CPR) … I don’t even know what the words are. They’re my angels. We’re forever connected.” After a couple of hours of fun on the airboats, the friends were headed back and less than a mile from the boat ramp when Love’s boat hit the wake from another boat. It shot their boat to the side toward the bank, and Love said she doesn’t clearly remember what happened after. What she does know is that she hit her head - hard - and was knocked out of the boat into the murky river water. Because she was unconscious, she sank to the bottom of the river. WPRA Junior Member Rylee Butler. Photo by Mike Rastelli Ironically, at a stop prior on their way back in, Love had changed sides of the boat and was then on the side that tossed her toward the bank into also been rescued but was in bad shape, and hurried to the boat ramp, waist-deep water.

It’s amazing how easily it could be that I’m just not here anymore – just like that. It’s scary to me that life can end very quickly and without notice.” Butler, too, has a new perspective on things. She said she’d never been in a situation like that before, and perhaps surprised herself at how calmly she handled things. “After we got back on the boats I just had a mental breakdown,” she said. “I called my mom and just bawled my eyes out to her. It makes me think about how thankful I am and how fast things can change. You can’t take anything for granted because you never know when you’re going to lose it.” Butler hopes to become a Nurse Practitioner, and one of her high school courses is currently anatomy and physiology. She’d read about CPR in her textbook, and recently while online for the class, a video about how to perform CPR popped up that she watched. “It’s not really rocket science or anything,” she laughed, “but I’d never practiced on a dummy or anything. At that moment, I didn’t even have to think about it. It was just a reaction to help.” Butler was given awards from the DeSoto County Sheriff’s Office and WPRA Member Nicole Love.
