Cheyanne McCartney is one of the most versatile, talented, and mentally tough cowgirls in professional breakaway roping — a four-time NFBR qualifier whose story is built on resilience, horsemanship, and an unwavering commitment to showing up, no matter how tough the season gets. In this episode, Cheyanne takes us through one of the most powerful comeback arcs in rodeo. After missing the NFBR for the first time in 2024, she faced the difficult decision to come home, rehab her body, rebuild her confidence, and prepare for the events she still believed she could win. That choice paid off — with a major AQHA World Championship title and the momentum she needed to come into the new year hungry and focused. Through every story, Cheyanne’s growth stands out — her patience, her perspective, her ability to stay grounded in the chaos of summer, and her commitment to trusting her horses in any setup. She embodies what it means to evolve with the sport and to get better, sharper, and tougher with every season. Her journey reflects everything that makes breakaway roping special — grit, faith, family, horsemanship, and the kind of determination that turns setbacks into stepping stones.
