The Women's Professional Rodeo Association was organized to develop and promote the sport of professional rodeo for the female competitor. Known as the "WPRA", the members of this fifty-five year old organization compete primarily in barrel racing, a fast paced, exciting timed event whereby horse and rider cross a starting line, race around a cloverleaf pattern and run back across the finish line. Fastest time wins and times are recorded in the 100th of a second. WPRA barrel racers represent the "best of the best" and the competition is extremely fierce in trying to qualify for the prestigious Wrangler National Finals Rodeo.

in 14th place and cameout a winner. She was the only contestant to win
both the average and world title.
2002 was an exciting
year for Charmayne James and her barrel horse Cruiser. She won her
11th World Title with her average time of 141.75 on all ten runs.
This was her first title with Cruiser. Congrats!
