WCJR Youth Goat Tying Champion Rianne Tinsley’s Return to Guthrie

Oklahoma’s own returns to the Lazy E to defend her title.

The Cinch World Championship Junior Rodeo is set to return to Guthrie, Oklahoma July 22-26, 2025 and all eyes will be on Rianne Tinsley, the reigning Goat Tying Event Champion.

From Shawnee, Oklahoma, Tinsley enjoys any opportunity to compete at the historic Lazy E Arena. Last year, she made a fast 6.87 second run, the quickest of her career at the time on a 100-foot run.

“Honestly, I didn’t think it was going to be that fast, it just felt smooth,” Tinsley recalled. “It kind of felt like the 7.1 I was the day prior so I kind of thought I ran the same time again, but I looked up and saw the 6.8, that was definitely a relief – it felt good.”

Now as she prepares to return to Guthrie, the Oklahoma native is focused on remaining consistent and defending her title in the goat tying.
