Episode 77: From Saddle to Steel—Emily Howkins on Broncs, Bulldozers & Bouncing Back
Manage episode 486737084 series 3600868
In Episode 77 of Scoreboard, Chris Titley sits down with Emily Howkins—former jockey turned rodeo competitor—to talk about grit, guts, and chasing adrenaline across wildly different arenas.
Emily opens up about her early days growing up in Central Queensland, riding trackwork before sunrise and pushing her body to make weight—until one day, she couldn’t anymore. That’s when she found rodeo.
Now driving heavy machinery by day and saddling up by night, she shares what it’s like to compete in the male-dominated world of Ranch Saddle Bronc and how she handles injury, and why it’s camaraderie—not glory—that keeps her going.
Her Scoreboard Moment? Learning to listen to her body and pivot without losing her identity.
🐎 From silks to spurs—this is a story about dusting yourself off and getting back in the ring (or chute).
