Name:  Chyanne Skelton

Parents:  Mikki Moore & Scott Fogg

Grandparents:  James & Mary Ann Skelton

School:  4th Grade, Ava Elementary

Rodeo Competitions:  I’ve done barrel racing about five years.  I’ve been in competitions four years.  I compete in the Ozark Junior Rodeo Association in Arkansas.  To be a member of the OJRA, you pay your fees and you have to get $150 worth of sponsors.  You have to participate in six rodeos to make it to the finals in Springdale, Ark.  I won the 8-and-under all-around competition by winning barrels, poles and goat undecorating (getting a ribbon off a goat’s tail).  Barrel racing is my favorite.  If I don’t have a rodeo, I practice riding on the weekends and every day in the summer.

Future Rodeo Plans:  I would like to make it to the National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas.  I think I would like to become a professional barrel racer and a veterinarian.

Cattle:  I have nine head of my own.  I have four registered Beefmasters and five commercial.  Two are cows and the rest are heifers.  I like Beefmasters because I’ve been raised with them all my life.  That’s what my grandfather raises. My parents and grandparents help me take care of my cattle.  I eventually may start showing with the Junior Beefmasters Association.  I would like to have 100 or 200 head when I grow up.

If you could do anything in the world, what would it be?  Train barrel horses.
