Jackie Ganter is a two-time National Finals Rodeo qualifier and it looks like she is after a third. She captured a huge win at the Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo that put her No. 1 in the World early in the season.
Aboard her big bay, Tycoon, Ganter won Round 1 of her bracket and finished fifth in Round 2 before winning the Wildcard to come back in the Semifinals. Ganter would go on to run her fastest time of the rodeo with a 16.3 in the Finals to be crowned the Champion.
“I asked him for everything he had and he gave it to me,” she said of Tycoon.
It has not always been smooth sailing for Tycoon, injuries have made his career come in waves of highs and low. However, the duo can add the Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo to their list of great accomplishments.
