Real Rodeo Moms Don’t Sit Still

You’ve seen her — maybe you are her.
The mom with a tea in one hand, a leg wrap in the other, dragging a saddle, hauling water buckets, checking draw numbers, snapping photos, wiping tears, cheering like crazy… and then driving everyone home after dark.
At Rad Rodeo, we believe rodeo moms are the heartbeat of this life. And no, we don’t sit still. We don’t slow down. But we do show up, over and over again.
We’re the First In, Last Out
We’re up before the sun loading the trailer. We’re at the stalls while the rest of the world’s still sleeping. We’re the ones who packed the snacks, the vet wrap, the backup tack, and of course the glitter.
We keep the whole thing rolling — not for glory, but because we love it.
We love our kids. We love our horses. And we love what rodeo teaches both.
We Don’t Just Watch — We Coach
Even if we’re not in the saddle, we’re fully in the ride:
Reading their nerves like a book.
Calming horses and coaching confidence.
Giving that one last word before they head to the alley.
We see what others don’t. We believe when they doubt. We carry the pressure with them — and never let it crush them.
We Find Moments for Ourselves — Even in the Chaos
Let’s be honest. Between horses, kids, and home, our to-do lists never end. But we still find time to:
Sneak out to the pens just to breathe and love on a horse for a minute.
Keep our own dreams alive, even in small ways.
Take joy in the sparkle, the fringe, the wins — and the memories being made.
It’s not selfish. It’s smart. When mama thrives, the whole crew does better.
We’re Building a Legacy
Every haul, every practice, every “good job” from the fence line — it’s all part of something bigger.
We’re raising kids who are confident, compassionate, and tough as nails. We’re shaping horsewomen and horsemen who know how to work hard and love deep.
And they’ll remember who was in their corner, always.
Final Thoughts
At Rad Rodeo, we celebrate the moms who run on grit, glitter, caffeine, and heart.
We don’t sit still. We don’t give up. We keep the dream moving — one run, one ride, one packed trailer at a time.
And we wouldn’t trade it for the world.
