Lari Dee Guy joined her longtime friend Ty McClary to discuss her induction to the National Cowgirl Hall of Fame, her upbringing and the Women’s Rodeo World Championships.
“Besides going to heaven, this is probably the biggest thing I’ve ever done and will ever do in my life,” she said of her induction. “Once you’re in the National Cowgirl Hall of Fame, that’s the top....It was unbelievable and just surreal to me.”
Guy said her entire life, all she has wanted to do was rope.
“I just never was gonna take no for an answer,” she said. “I just wanted to be one that could make a living using my rope and doing what I love.”
The women’s rodeo has changed a ton since Guy got her start and that includes events like the Women’s Rodeo World Championships, where she and her partner Jimmy Jo Montero won $60,000 for their first-place finish in the team roping.
