Martha Josey’s passion for barrel racing and rodeo shows through all of her efforts to grow the sport and the people competing in it.
So many of the greats have also competed on a Josey platform, like the Josey Jr World Finals that began in 1981. Charmayne James and Sherry Cervi have both competed there and went on to be multi-time World Champion Barrel Racers.
Despite being hurt in 1981, the goal for Josey was to have the best youth barrel race and she did just that. After 40 years, she continues to hold clinics, schools and the Josey Jr. World Finals along with the Josey Gold Cup Senior Race.
