It six years old Tammy Fesler began to
ride in the junior rodeos around Santa
Maria, California where she lived. Today at 22, and with all of those years
under her belt, Fesler is ranked number one as a breakaway roper.
Fesler is now concentrating on keeping her rank in tact
this season.
With 190 points, Fesler has little time to waste. Tammy
Vick, the second place roper, is a mere 35 points behind.
Last year Fesler rode into Coalinga, California to face
Vick in the breakaway competition. "My rodeo season
was not going well. I needed to finish in the top five to stay
close to the leaders," Fesler said.
What happened in Coalinga sent Fesler to the top. Her
time in breakaway was 2.5 seconds, the fastest time in the
event. Her competition could only mark at 3.8 seconds.
"Winning at Coalinga was one of my best moments. I
used toattend West Hills College in Coalinga. Going back
and winning made my whole season.
"From that point, my rodeo season turned around for
the better. I became more confident and everything
started to fall into place," Fesler said.
The Coalinga rodeo team is one of the top ranked teams
in the nation and Vick Ls, or has been, on the top of the
standing for many years.
"I will try to stay ahead of Vkk.she is very competitive.
I practice and practicing timing with my horse Splinters;
this way, our timing will become a natural set of moves,"
she said.
"Splinters is my all-around horse. Once we have our
timing, we become one entity. That is when we become
winners. Noone likes to lose, and surely we do not," Fesler
said.
Like any team, both the men's and women's rodeo teams
have great potential, according to Fesler. What is missing
is the support from people on and off campus.
Breakaway roping is an event wherein the rider chases
a calf and ropes it around the neck. Once the rope is
around the calf the rope comes apart with a tug from the
calf. Breakaway roping is only one of Fesler's events.
"I compete in the barrel racing, goat tying and and the
team roping events, all of this will keep me very busy.
"We have a competitive team, Lynette McGill and Trace
Humphrey are doing well in their events and they will
keep the pressure on me, as I will on them. It makes for
a great team," Fesler said.

Above: Following a practice run, Fesler reflects on what can be done to
improve her time. Breakaway roping is termed because once the calf is
snared, it requires onlya tug to the rope to be set free.
Below: Nick inches closer to Fesler as they prepare for their practice run.
Using her 1988 prize winning all-around saddle for
practice as well as competition, Fesler prepares one
of her newest horeses, Nick, for practice.
The name of the game is "practice." said
Fesler. She demonstrates her roping form
that has placed her in the top position in the
West Coast Region, which consists of California and Nevada.
