Check out our May issue for the inspirational story Running Buddies. This feature by award-winning journalist Abigail Boatwright tells the story of Dolli Lautaret and Jolee Lautaret-Jordan and how this dynamic mother-daughter team made their mark on rodeo.

Whether they’re working horses at home or trucking down the road to the next rodeo to compete side-by-side, these women make a life out of working with the horses that they love, and feel lucky that they can do it together.

Jolee and Dolli are a team, and roping together is just one of the many things they like to do.
