This week @jennasmeenk has the opportunity to interview World Champion Trick Rider, Haley (Ganzel) Proctor, from Collinsville, OK.

Not only does she hold a World Title in her event, crowned in 2007, she was recently awarded the 2018 Top 5 Dress Act Of The Year. Additionally, Haley has competed in the 2016 North American Trick Riding Championships in Las Vegas, played a role and performed stunt work in the films Cowgirls and Angels, and Cowgirls and Angels 2: Dakota’s Summer.

Haley began trick riding at the age of 4 after begging her uncle, NFR Contract Act Shawn Brackett, to teach her the trade. A passion for trick riding and the performing lifestyle developed at a young age for Haley when she had the opportunity to travel with the Great American Wild West Show to some of the greatest rodeo venues in the country. She was blessed with the opportunity to work with legendary trick riders at a young age, where she was able to learn and hone her craft.

Haley not only trick rides, but also roman rides and works her dancing horse “Crazy Cloud”, where she is proud to display her Cherokee heritage. Haley is always expanding her talents, and constantly keeps the crowd at the edge of their seats.
