#258 - 15 Days of Breakaway | #4: Rylee George

Rylee George has solidified herself as one of the most composed, consistent, and quietly fierce competitors in professional breakaway roping. A two-time NFBR qualifier, Rylee brings an energy that never wavers — confident at the barrier, sharp in her delivery, and unbothered by pressure. Her style is simple and deadly: trust her horses, trust her draw, and never waste a calf that gives her a chance.

In this episode, Rylee breaks down how her performance at last year’s NFBR reshaped her belief in herself. Winning the first round — and three total rounds — gave her the confidence to attack the 2025 season with purpose and poise. She also shares how Deputy’s scoring, Royce’s speed, and Wonder’s summer strength all played vital roles in her success.

Rylee opens up about mapping her rodeo strategy, studying payouts, and capitalizing on rodeos that offered big money. She talks about jump-riding in California, traveling with Regan Cotton, balancing long summer hauls, and refining her roping in preparation for Kimes Ranch and Vegas.

Her story embodies the heart of modern breakaway roping — discipline, horsemanship, grit, mental strength, and total commitment to the run in front of her.
