KAYLEE BILLINGSLEY
Breakaway Roper & Barrel Racer
I am a 4th generation cowgirl. I started competing in junior rodeos when I was 5. I went through the rodeo ranks from jr rodeos to jr high to high school to college then amateur winning at every level.
I run my own PEMF MagnaWave company working on performance horses. I give breakaway roping lessons and I take outside horses to start/finish in the roping events.
MARKIE VETERE
Barrel Racer
My name is Markie Vetere. I’m a first generation barrel racer, and have had horses the entirety of my life. My passion for riding began when my sisters were old enough to participate in horse 4-H and I soon followed. It was there that I fell in love with barrel racing. Over the years I’ve had many great horses and traveled many different places participating in rodeos, incentivized races, and smaller jackpots. My goals for this year include making 1D runs consistently, entering my young mare in a few rodeos, and traveling more places to expose her to more arenas and atmospheres.
William Barnett
Bareback Rider
I'm a 17 year old bareback rider from Absarokee Montana. I have qualified to and completed at 2 High School World Finals Rodeos in the bareback riding and trap shooting. I also qualified for the Junior High World Finals Rodeo 8th grade. I grew up around horses and after listening to some Chris Ledoux songs, my parents bought me my first bareback riggin at the age of 8. I immediately began riding ponies and have steadily progressed in my riding ever since. I also enjoy playing guitar snowmobiling and riding dirt bikes.
Riley Smith
Steer Wrestler, Bronc & Bull Rider
My name is Riley Smith and I'm originally from California but currently live in Oklahoma. I am a first generation rodeo athlete and I've come up through the Junior High and High School ranks competing on both sides of the arena as both a timed event and roughstock athlete. In 2024, I was the Arkansas High School Rodeo Champion Steer Wrestler and All Around Cowboy as well as went to Nationals in 3 roughstock events. I look forward to continuing my rodeo career next year as I head off to college.
