If you were following the end of the crazy 2020 WPRA season, Ryann Pedone was a name that came up often. Ryann was the Cinderella story of September hangin out in the 16th and 17th position for weeks until the very last day of the season at the Tour Finale in Rapid City, SD punching her ticket to her first NFR berth! Ryann's road to the NFR began long before the rollercoaster ride of 2020 and unfortunately the roller coaster ride didn't stop after the end of the end of the season. Ryann's story is one of try and triumph and we were excited to have the opportunity to tell it!

Unless you aren’t familiar with the barrel futurity scene, you would know Jolene Montgomery has been a powerhouse in the industry for the past decade! Originally from Ohio, Jolene grew up barrel racing, riding English and Hunter Jumpers, cutters, and everything in between. With many BFA championships and countless futurity wins, Jolene has rode some of the titans of the futurity industry including JL Dash Ta Heaven, Return of the Bully, and Martha Six Shooter to name a few. What you may not know is her husband Kerby starts all the colts and together they train some of the best barrel horses in the business! Kerby grew up roping and riding horses but went a different direction in his professional career. With the help of Jolene and his sister Molli (renowned futurity trainer) they convinced him to try his hand at training and it’s been history ever since.
