ISABELLE BROWN

Isabelle is from a small town in southern Illinois where she grew to love her family, friends, and small-town community. Growing up in a small town, she learned and started her background in agriculture and knowledge of equine and barrel racing. Isabelle spent many years riding and training with her uncle, this allowed her to work with many young futurity prospects. Barrel racing brought her some of her closest friends and her to some of the best opportunities she has been presented in her life. She was a part of 4-H from the time she was in the 3rd grade till her graduating year of high school which allowed her to broaden her knowledge outside of equine.  After graduating high school in 2019 Isabelle moved to Murray, Kentucky where she continued her education at Murray State University. Although she wasn’t a participant on the rodeo team she traveled with the team to most of their events. She also continued to individually compete in barrel racing until 2022. At the start of 2022, she decided to take a break from school to travel and to find what her passion was. She found herself in north Texas. This led her to the opportunity to start and grow with Sports Illustrated Rodeo Daily. She plans to use this opportunity to spread her knowledge and love for the animals and the sport(s) they allow us to engage in.  Instagram: izzyb_brown01
