This is no unsung hero. Guy, 49, just graced the cover of Cowgirl Magazine’s November/December issue as breakaway roping’s “grande dame.” She’s been sung about for 35 years, but until a handful of years ago, only in Texas. Guy made waves for pure handiness. Girls entered at one of the first big standalone tie-down and breakaway jackpots in Amarillo, Texas, in 1999 will never forget the day they watched her use her loop as an over-and-under not once, but two times, and still win the day money. Jaws dropped. She has always been revolutionary, but her countless college, amateur, jackpot and WPRA championships aren’t what make her so. It’s the top rope horses and breakaway ropers she’s personally trained. When the greatest female roper of all time began partnering on…

Quartering—defined as a breakaway horse pivoting to the left away from the calf—is a style that isn’t every breakaway ropers’ cup of tea. But, top young talent Sawyer Gilbert has proven aboard her 15-year-old Paint, Roger, that quartering can slice off time at the end of a run if executed properly.

HIS STORY: WPRA World Champion Guy is always on the horse hunt, and back in 2009, she went looking for her next one in the barn of NCHA Hall of Famer and 33-time AQHA World Champ Bobby Lewis. “I went there to try some horses, and I ended up bringing him home,” Guy said. “We ended up keeping him around and buying him. He was a reiner, sure enough. But Bobby helped me to get his head up and get him out of that stuff.” That was about the same time Guy’s long-time friend and partner Hope Thompson showed up at the Guy Ranch in Abilene, so they took turns roping and running barrels on him, too. “At first, he’d just bridle up and not run.
