Josie Conner is on fire, and Arlington can’t seem to get enough of her. The No. 2 WPRA Breakaway Roper clinched a massive $60,000 win at the Women’s Rodeo World Championship inside AT&T Stadium with a lightning-fast 1.81-second run.
Earlier this year, just across the parking lot at Globe Life Field, Conner picked up another $100,000 payday at The American Rodeo. Now, she’s swept both titles in the same season.
“To finally get it done, and get it done in the same year, it’s such a blessing,” she said.
Josie and her standout horse, Dutch, made a statement all week, starting the WRWC with a 1.82-second run in Round One, dominating the Semifinals with a 2.2, and sealing the deal with her fastest run of the weekend in the finals.
“Dutch has a lot of abilities that God gave him,” she said. “Over the years, I had to develop a good swing — and a good swing leads to good delivery.”
With $56,068 in earnings already this season, Conner isn’t slowing down. She takes off for the summer run in early June, looking to make her fourth NFBR appearance and chase down a world title.
