Danica Patrick isn’t the first female to race a car. But she is the most famous. As a result, like Shirley Muldowney did years ago in drag-racing, Patrick has become an inspiration for young girls that they can do it, too.
Brandi Love and Alicia Kary are in the Olds College rodeo program and competing at the Canadian National College Finals Rodeo this weekend in all or some of the five events - including three roping events - for the girls.
The problem is, if the girls want to go the professional route in rodeo competition right now, they’re pretty much looking at barrel racing as the sole avenue.
But, both believe that can and will change someday.

Rodeo is a window into the past as well as a fully modern sport with a huge following.
We left for Utah Friday morning, June 18th for the Lane Frost Invitational Bullriding. We got there at 2:00. We checked into our rooms where they accidentally had other woman bullriders already in there. Thats when I first got to meet other females who love the sport like I do.
