Emmry Edwards, the 15-year-old phenom who went head-to-head with rodeo’s elite in the breakaway roping at the 2025 Women’s Rodeo World Championship—and left with $6,000, a whole lot of grit, and a story to tell.
From a last-chance qualifier to the biggest stage in the sport, Emmry’s journey to AT&T Stadium wasn’t exactly mapped out—but it was earned. With a bold 2.0-second run in the short round, she proved she wasn’t there just to show up—she was there to win. While the barrier kept her from the $60K, her presence in that box was anything but small.
Emmry talks about her roots in rodeo, including her mom’s legacy and the Something Special Breakaway Roping series that helped shape her love for the sport. She walks us through her road to AT&T, her mindset backing into the box behind two 1.8-second runs, and how she stayed calm, collected, and focused on her job.
We also talk about her recent momentum-building win at the Junior Patriot, splitting a $50,000 bonus after a 1.9-second run—and how she’s preparing to climb divisions and dominate in the challenger class in 2026.
This episode is for the young guns, the dreamers with their rope in hand and eyes on the prize, and every girl who’s ever wondered if she’s too young or too new to make her mark.
Because Emmry’s story is proof that all it takes is one run, one moment, and a whole lot of heart to change everything.
