The latest episode of The Breakaway Breakdown hears Josie Conner retell of one of the most electric moments of her career—winning The American Rodeo and $100,000.
Conner’s lightning-fast, 1.89-second run became a career-defining victory. At just 21, Conner proved she’s a force to be reckoned with, riding her standout mount “Dutch,” the 2024 Horse of the Year, to the win in Arlington, Texas.
Hear Conner break down her strategy, from navigating the tricky three-under barrier to selecting calves for the final four, and how her years of experience at The American fueled this breakthrough. She also shares how this year’s invite—thanks to her No. 3 WPRA finish in 2024—offered her a different payday, but didn’t switch up her game plan.
