Kristy Barton-Yerrington, from Carey, Idaho, talks to the World Series of Team Roping after winning the #12 and #9 World Series Qualifiers in Homedale, Idaho.
Number and end: 4+ header
Association of preference: World Series of Team Roping by far, all though NTR is good as well. I have never been to a USTRC or ACTRA roping, so I wouldn’t know about those; however, the money and the opportunity is so great at the World Series ropings. They are some of the best put on ropings around here in Idaho. The opportunity you get to go and qualify for the Las Vegas Finale, you just don’t get that in any other sport as an amateur.
Rope of choice: Classic Spyder
Biggest win: The biggest win I had was the #9 in the Homedale, Idaho, roping on April 8, but really, that whole weekend. I won $5,300 in the #12 and $5,875 in the #9. So overall, I took home $11,175.
