BFI Week


Crawford Wins Breakaway, Earns $8K During BFI Week Because of the Charlie 1 Horse All-Girl Challenge in Reno, Nevada, this year,


breakaway ropers were showcased for the first time ever June 27 during a perfor- mance of the “Wildest, Richest Rodeo in the West.” The Reno Rodeo celebrated its 100th anniversary this year as one of North Amer-


ica’s most prestigious events, crowding the rodeos in San Antonio and Fort Worth, Texas; Cheyenne, Wyoming; and Pendleton, Oregon as one of the six richest regu- lar-season venues in the sport. On June 27, the top five from Wrangler BFI Week’s 2019 Charlie 1 Horse event at the same venue roped in that night’s Reno Rodeo for a winner-take-all cash prize of $1,000 put up by Hooey Brands and the Reno Rodeo just after the tie-down roping. The landmark move comes just two years after Reno’s All-Girl Team Roping


– held since the 1990s in conjunction with the Bob Feist Invitational – added a break- away event and started the trend sweeping professional rodeo. Soon thereafter, RFD-


A pair of Navajo "sisters" Debbie Robbins and Danielle Lowman made the 12-hour drive from Arizona to Reno to out-rope nearly 160 teams in the Charlie 1 Horse All Girl Team Roping winning by just one-hundredth of a second to earn $26,000 cash and BFI Week's legendary prizeline.
