“DADDY OF ’EM ALL” WITH ERIN JOHNSON

Many little girls have only dreamed about having an opportunity to compete in a rodeo with as much heritage as The Cheyenne Frontier Days Rodeo. The Cheyenne Rodeo, also known as the “Daddy of ‘em All”, started in the late 1800s and is a rodeo favorite by many cowboys, cowgirls, and spectators. Thanks to the hardworking committee members and the momentum the breakaway roping has seen the last few years 240 breakaway ropers got to step inside Cheyenne’s rodeo and compete. 

Listen up as we talk to former world champion breakaway roper and busy mother of three young children, Erin Johnson as she talks about the thrills, the talent, and the prep work it takes to compete in Cheyenne. Erin explains Cheyenne’s new tournament style format and tells of her run that got her through the progressive round and into the rodeos. Erin also gives listeners tips for practicing and shares what her favorite ropes and bits are.

In this episode Amanda Hodges takes us on her journey of how here love for breakaway roping has grown over the years. Amanda is a true example of what it means to be a cowgirl. She is humble, kind, and understands the importance of working hard to achieve greatness in the sport of breakaway roping. 

No matter the level of roper Amanda's tips for success both inside and outside the arena are spot on. Her reminder of not letting roping define who you are is something we all need to hear from time to time.  She provides tips on what to focus on when you walk into the box, how to prepare yourself when you show up to the competition, and how important it is to talk to God as much as you can.
