Bailey Bates got the big Texas Swing ProRodeo win she was looking for at the 2025 San Angelo Stock Show and Rodeo with three 1.9-second runs worth a total of $10,217.
The win was a sigh of relief following a winter rodeo season that saw her come close to the big paychecks but barely miss out. The earnings coupled with her No. 18 finish in the 2024 ProRodeo standings are fueling Bates to push to greater heights as the rodeo season enters the spring.
