Kaitlin Gustave discovered her love for team roping at the age of 16 and never looked back. The young editor—a roper in her own right—graduated with a B.A. in Broadcast Journalism from West Texas A&M University where she competed on the rodeo team in team and breakaway roping. It was an opportunity to intern for Spin to Win Rodeo Magazine (now Team Roping Journal) that showed her she could turn her passion for the sport into a career.

Future for women in the Western industry

“I truly believe that as long as you have a passion for the industry and what you do, there are no limits. I hope that I can have a hand in helping grow the role that women play in the Western industry and inspire young women to always follow their dreams.”
