Rodeo

In a crowded field at the top, Tara Seaton and Kylie Gilbert shook things up with new horses in tow in the ladies barrel-racing competition at this year’s Indian National Finals Rodeo.

Of the five champions from the Navajo land, heeler Myles John successfully defended his world crown by winning the team roping aggregate with four-time INFR winner Edward Hawley, who captured his third consecutive title.

Five contestants were repeat winners at the INFR Friday.

Two young competitors got off to a rocky start but redeemed themselves handily at the INFR.
