Barrel Racer Michelle Alley Has Strong Finish at North Dakota Roughrider Cup

Michelle Alley takes home third from Mandan on her four-year-old barrel horse.

Michelle Alley might not be gunning for the bright lights of Las Vegas but success has come her way on the back side of the Summer Run and that includes a Top 3 finish at the North Dakota Roughrider Cup.

“Yeah, so I just came out over the Fourth of July to rodeo and season my four-year-old and just have fun and she’s just been phenomenal every run,” Alley said.

The Texas cowgirl has added another $7,000 to her earnings that should put her just outside the Top 25 in the World.

The win in Mandan went to known other than Tiany Schuster while second was Summer Kosel’s.
