Storylines to Watch
Whiteside’s repeat bid. The Longview, Alberta, cowgirl is also chasing her fourth All-Around Cowgirl title, and she’s doing it on Teacher, the three-time Canadian Professional Rodeo Association (CPRA) Breakaway Roping Horse of the Year owned by her partner, Ben Bamford. “I’m really working at not overthinking things and sort of overdoing it,” Whiteside told the CPRA.
