“It felt amazing, I’m just so thankful to be back on Poprocks. It’s been a long eight months,” Matthews said.
The duo now leads the Average in the barrel racing having earned $12,000 so far. A 17.03 is what earned them the Round 2 win and it is an emotional one for Matthews has Poprocks is her mom’s horse that was sidelined after their success in 2023.
In true rodeo fashion, this injury did not keep Poprocks down and they are back to feeling good in Canada with sights set on a Calgary Stampede Bronze.
Texas’ Katelyn Scott is the No. 2 lady after Round 2 with Chelsea Moore and Paige Jones rounding out the Top 4 in Pool B.
