TEAM ROPING

Patrick Smith is another veteran cowboy who has yet to take home a RodeoHouston Championship but header, Tanner Tomlinson, might be the one to help him cinch a win. The duo made it through to the Super Shootout Championship Round in 2022 where a no time took them out of the running.

BARREL RACING

Taycie Matthews is another athlete who had success in Austin before the Super Series as well as in San Antonio. She sits just outside the Top 15 in the WPRA World Standings by $1,259 meaning a go-round win in Houston might be what gets her into the top.
