Toria Madsen and Bert Successfully Take on the First Two Rounds of Reno Rodeo to Lead the Average

Toria Madsen’s first trip to Reno is stacking up to be unforgettable. The Idaho cowgirl took over the lead in both Rounds and is still holding onto that lead in Round 2 with a blazing fast 17.19-second run.

“It feels great, Reno, thank you. I have an incredible horse, his name is Bert, he is amazing,” Madsen said.

She now sits third in Round 1 and still leads the Average by just over one tenth of a second. This is her sixth rodeo of the 2024 season and she is starting her Summer Run with a bang.

Carlee Otero is sitting just right as No. 2 in the Average with Ashley Castleberry rounding out your current Top 3 barrel racers in Reno.
