‘Fastest girl wins:’ Ladies Breakaway Roping a crowd favorite at San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo
Female ropers compete in the breakaway roping event at the 2022 San Antonio Stockshow and Rodeo on Monday, Feb. 21, 2022. In breakaway roping, the roper attempts to throw a rope around the calf's neck as quickly as possible and as soon as the rope gets around the calf, the roper halts their horse and the rope breaks away. Ropers with the shortest times win the event and the prize. This year marks the first time the event was held at the San Antonio Rodeo.
Although similar to men’s tie-down roping, in the women’s breakaway event, the cowgirls do not jump off of their horses to snag the calf.Organizers said this is the first year this and other roping events have moved from an exposition hall to the Freeman Coliseum for competitions. Once the calf is let loose, the rider swings the rope, which must land completely around the shoulders of the calf. As the rope tightens after the calf is roped, the flag will break away and fly from the saddle horn. That gives a signal to the timer to stop the clock.“I’ve been riding since I was about 16,” she said. A sly wink and smile from her served as the answer when asked her age.
Smith’s average of 6:09 earned her first place. Joey Williams of Volborg, MT., placed second with an average of 7:49, and won $2,340. Smith also took third place, with her purse totaling more than $5,000.
