Taylor Munsell showed the rest of the ProRodeo Breakaway field she was going to continue standing on business with a repeat victory at the Reno Rodeo in Nevada on Saturday night, roping three head in 8.0 seconds to win a total of $11,883 and further secure her lead at the No. 1 breakaway roper in the world.
“You can’t really put it into words,” Munsell. “I’m still shocked. I went into it thinking, ‘Make the best run you can.’ And let the chips fall where they may. I knew I’d get good money out of the deal and so I wasn’t prepared [to win]. Such a cool experience and the committee in Reno is so awesome to us athletes.”
Munsell secured the win with times of 3.0, 2.4 and finally, a 2.6-second run featuring a loop that snuck over the calves’ nose for the big win. She did it riding “Ray,” registered as Pals Star Shine. Munsell said she’s made the short go all five years Reno has had breakaway, but has only won it the past two times—when she rode Ray.
“It wasn’t an ideal loop,” Munsell said. “But we’ll take it. I will say that rope is going to be retired now. It doesn’t owe me anything. I’m glad Ray was free enough let me push [the loop] on there.”
With the win, Munsell is projected to rise to $$116,392 in WPRA earnings, a healthy lead as ProRodeo enters one of the busiest weeks of the year—Cowboy Christmas.
“Having this win feels awesome,” Munsell said. “Reno is always a good start for the summer for me, and to win a good chunk of money, you have that to fall back on the rest of the summer. Because we’re getting entered up, and fees are expensive and fuel is expensive.”
Munsell is roping at the World’s Oldest Rodeo in Prescott, Arizona, Monday June 30 to kick off her Cowboy Christmas run.
Did you know? Taylor Munsell’s “First Big Breakaway ” win was at the BFI in Reno in 2018, marking the beginning of her career as a breakaway roper. Since then, she’s made it to the short go every year since Reno added breakaway to their ProRodeo in 2021.
