Born to rodeo, barrel racing star Melayna Lockie has loved every minute in the rodeo world, and with her trusty horse Fabby by her side, she's looking to keep building toward becoming a super star in the sport.

In her first year with the U13 AAA Eastman Wildcats, standout player Berkeley Penner has grown as a player, made lots of new friends, and will get to travel Abbotsford, British Columbia, all through the game she loves.

Hosting provincials this past weekend was a big deal, and Penner says the team did very well. "I feel like my team and I did quite well," the 12-year-old star says with a humble smile. "We played well against the other teams, and I feel like we got very close to winning gold."
