#234 - Charmaine Holdren | WRWC 2025 Champions | His Way is Perfect: Faith, Grit & a 12-Second Run at AT&T

Charmaine Holdren, the limited barrel racer who made one of the most electric runs of the 2025 Women’s Rodeo World Championship. We’re talking about the first 12-second run on the board at AT&T Stadium, from a gal with less than $3,000 won in the Limited Barrel Racing at the WRWC in 2025 on her horse Trick before the finals.

Charmaine opens up about the journey that brought her and Trick—whose name literally means His Way is Perkfect—to that arena. From elbow injuries that nearly ended her career to losing every saddle she owned, and rediscovering her purpose through faith, grit, and obedience, Charmaine’s story is living proof that God doesn’t waste the hard parts.

We talked about what it meant to take red paint and mark Trick’s hip with Psalm 18:30, how it felt when the crowd roared as her name hit the leaderboard, and why letting God into your decisions—your training, your horse program, your entire life—changes everything. This conversation is for every rider who’s doubted themselves, every woman dreaming from the back pens, and anyone who believes their story isn’t big enough.

Spoiler alert: it absolutely is.

So pull up a seat, and get ready to be encouraged—because Charmaine’s testimony is one that’s lighting the way for so many of us. Listen in, be reminded that you’re never too far gone, and keep showing up.
