Power of Goal Setting Mary Ann Brown roped at the jackpots with her husband, Kenny, for 20 years when he wasn’t off rodeoing. But in 2017, she decided she was ready for a new challenge. She bought her PRCA permit and filled it with plenty of time left to qualify for her first-ever First Frontier Circuit Finals Rodeo, heading for her six-time First Frontier Circuit champ husband. They placed in a go-round and placed fourth in the average in Harrisburg, Pa.
I thought about rodeoing for a few years, but I never had the courage really to do it. I never really stepped up. I’ve always had nice horses because Kenny is amazing at making them and finding them. But with this horse, Felina, and how we get along, I finally said yes, I’m doing it. And my husband accepted. I don’t know if he wanted to, but he did it. I wanted to get better as a team roper. I wanted to be more well rounded, not just a jackpot roper. I put that on myself. For my own self-gratification, I wanted something hard to do.
