They had roped four head of cattle in 28.96 seconds.<\/p>\n<p>Hine, the son of Richie and Jennifer Hine, has been riding and roping since he was a little kid, but team roping was always his best event, plus he likes the higher payouts in the sport.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEverybody\u2019s got their own adrenaline rush,\u201d he said. \u201cRoping is mine. I wasn\u2019t as good at other things.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s already a member of the Smarty Young Pro team, which is made up of the 80 best young ropers in the country. Hine said he plans to use his proceeds to buy another horse and continue entering competitions.<\/p>\n<p>He thanked his local sponsor, Valley Feed and Ranch Supply in Gem Village, for supporting his competition.<\/p>\n<p>Hine rode a 15-year-old mare he calls Cherokee.<\/p>\n<p>Williams was aboard a 10-year-old roan gelding, Spiderman, that her dad bought from a customer. Her dad is eight-time Professional Rodeo Cowboy Association world champion header Speed Williams.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDad came home with this ugly roan, and me and mom were not happy,\u201d William told Team Roping Journal. \u201cHe was so ugly, and he was probably 200 pounds underweight. After three months of Dad riding him, my mom took him. And my sixth-grade year, I had a big jackpot and my good horse couldn\u2019t take all the runs. So I asked my mom if I could borrow the roan, and Mom hadn\u2019t got back on him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Confirming that roping is a family affair, Bodie often competes with his brother, Chance, when they\u2019re in Arizona.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>$48,000 payout with partner Hali Williams<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":61449,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[937],"naviga_topic":[],"class_list":["post-61448","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-rodeo"],"acf":[],"author_name":"dh_admin","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61448","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=61448"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61448\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/61449"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=61448"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=61448"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=61448"},{"taxonomy":"naviga_topic","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/naviga_topic?post=61448"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
