Ep. 71 - All Around Cowgirl, Rancher, Actress, & Huntress, Carly Twisselman

Carly Twisselman is a native to the central coast of California, where she grew up on her family's generational cattle ranch. Always being a part of rodeo through the roping scene, she took a chance to independently rodeo-ing for the UCLA Bruins while getting a degree in mass communications and aspirations of being an actress!

It wasn't until she decided to step into the professional world of rodeo that she decided to upgrade from running her roper horses in barrel racing to a bred-to-run quarter horse cross as barrel racing was her only option as a woman in prorodeo. Her current mount, Charm, is a half-sister to Hailey Kinsel's great mare Sister, and is setting the way for Carly's success in the rodeo arena. But potentially even more exciting is the addition of breakaway roping to prorodeo's across the country!

Carly dives deep into ranching, rodeo, her breeding program and bloodlines, being a television host for RIDE-TV and her involvement in the hunting industry and politics.
