Mom On A Mission

Thanks to Tractor Supply and PBR I had the opportunity to interview Dana Aviles in the historic Fort Worth Stockyards before her return to the world of team roping. First and foremost Dana is a mom, and a dedicated one at that. Dana is making her return to the western world at 51, and maybe a little nervous. California has been home and where she's focused on raising her kids who are also in the industry and they helped encourage her return. Dana is truly putting her faith on display by allowing her team roping partner to be someone she doesn't really know. I'm telling ya'll the Womens Rodeo ladies are something special. Drive and determination are a huge factor in making this return and while Dana remains incredibly humble I want her to know what an absolute badass she is. She might be from California, but I feel like she'd fit in Texas perfectly so I obviously have to but the idea in her head. Dana is a perfect example of not letting your age or circumstance be a factor in following something you are passionate about. And I just know that mindset alone will take her far, and be an asset in raising her kids.
