The Royal Crown Guthrie, Oklahoma results.
The Royal Crown Rope Horse Futurity in Guthrie, Oklahoma, May 25-30 was a successful trip for a few Tri-State area ropers. Joey Williams, a Montana cowgirl and three-time WNFR qualifier in breakaway entered the event for the first time. She walked away with over $5,000 after winning the all-ages breakaway. Williams was riding a home-grown mare, Smokin Twayna – better known as Reba. She’s by their stud Smoke N Sunrise and out of Frenchmans Twayna, who is a full sister to Williams’ main rope horse Baybe. The nine-year-old mare got a later start in life due to injuries, and aside from a few local jackpots, she hasn’t been hauled much. However, Reba did get the call last year at Cheyenne Frontier Days and the Pendleton Roundup, where she helped Williams advance to the short round at both rodeos.
