Blink and you’ll miss. It happens that fast. Blink again and the standings lead could change that fast. The competition was fast and furious in the breakaway roping. Reigning all-around champion Tammy Jo Carpenter of Kalispell maximized every throw this past summer, averaging a healthy $623 a catch. Carpenter only won once, at Havre, but it was worth $1,072. She also had seven other top-five finishes. Tammy Jo also returned to defend her all-around title and was being chased by Milee Dailey of Emigrant and Choteau’s Shelby Rasmussen. Carpenter, a software engineer from Kalispell and a graduate of Montana State, put herself in contention for another championship by sweeping both the breakaway roping and barrel racing in Twin Bridges. Tammy Jo had a finals that was about average, she roped her best with what she had drawn and was consistent. She placed in all three rounds, aboard the 2015 Breakaway Horse of the Year “Ike”, with two 3rd place finishes and a 4th place, that was good enough to put her 2nd in the average and hold her top spot in the breakaway roping. This was Carpenters first Ladies Breakaway Roping Year End Title and her 2nd consecutive All-Around Title. Congratulations Tammy Jo on your back-to-back victory and your first Breakaway Roping Year End Title.
