It’s not her first rodeo, not by a long shot. But as Teddi Harllee motored around the cloverleaf barrel pattern on Wednesday, she proved that turning 77 years old is no reason to slow down.

“Deuce is his name. He’s 21 this year,” explained Harllee of the horse that brought her out of retirement from riding five years ago. He was hand-picked by her daughter, Melinda Harllee-Bell, to give her mom a safe, but competitive ride around the three barrels. “I don’t give a lot of thought to my age, and as long as I can keep moving and not fall off, I think I’m a little ahead of the game,” she said while laughing.
“About four and a half years ago. I asked my daughter if she’d let me barrel race — if she’d help me. And she said as long as I did what she said, and here we are,” Harllee explained.Harllee competes in open competitions and often wins what is called the 5D Division, a time category that is a few seconds slower than the top competitive times.
