Over the course of each year, we are so lucky to meet some incredible people along our way. These inspirational people embody the RR philosophy that !
Angela Whelan
Hello😊
I’m Angela but most call me Ang! I live just out of Pinjarra an hour south of Perth with my husband Gerard and daughter Bryanna with our too many ponies and dog.
I have grown up around and with horses my whole life getting my first pony at a
young age and was lucky enough to have learnt all I could with her. 🐴❤️
You will generally find me in and around the rodeo arena with the odd show jumping arena too. If I’m not at an event, you’ll find me in an arena teaching far and
wide within my little family business Hoofprints Equestrian.
Teaching is where I was lucky enough to meet Shivaun and her beautiful family and get to help grow the kiddlets love and passion for ponies.
To be a part of such a beautiful brand I feel incredibly honored, and to have seen it from the start makes it even more special.
Thank you for this opportunity, Rodeo Rose Boutique ❤️🌹
Izzy Hosken-Collard
Hey! I’m Izzy Hosken-Collard and I am a Rodeo Rose ambassador; I have been an ambassador for about a year now and I can’t wait to continue on this Journey!!
A little bit about myself, I’m 13 turning 14 and I am obsessed with everything Horse, Barrel racing and Turquoise. I’m the oldest child in my family, along with my two younger siblings! I have two horses Otis and Belle; I started out barrel racing on Otis, who is a Polish Arab and we’ve been working together for just over a year now! We recently got Belle, my beautiful bay Quarter Horse and I’ve just started training and racing on her as well. Belle is 11 and Otis is 18, my little sister Charlotte is using him as her lead line pony, and he will hopefully be her barrel pony (he’s still my horse). Otis and I won our first paycheck at a barrel race recently and I couldn’t have been prouder of us!!
My goals for when I’m older are to become an Equine Vet or just a Vet in general and to get to compete in the NFR (National Finals Rodeo)!
My biggest pieces of advice are to do your best, try everything, don’t let others put you down or make you feel bad about doing or thinking what you do, do what you love and never give up!!
Rodeo Rose Boutique has given me the chance to make some awesome friends meet some great people and look pretty stylish while doing it!
Taylor Haddleton
Hi, I’m Taylor, I’m 16 years old
I have been rodeoing for last five years, I’ve just recovered from two knee reconstructions and am so happy to be back on my horse Saff. We love to run along the beach, do trail rides and of course barrel race.
I’ve recently just won my first buckle at the Apex Barrel Racing Spring Fling.
When I graduate school, I want to join the navy and become submariner medic.
I feel so blessed to be part of the ambassador team for RRB.

Kim Piper- Reeves
Hello :) My name is Kim Piper-Reeves,
I began my barrel racing journey in October 22 at the Apex Spring Fling. We came second in 4D and I was instantly hooked!
Fast forward 6 months and we clocked our first 1D time!!!! I'm hoping it wasn't a fluke and that we can repeat our success.
I'm very lucky to be married to an amazing man, who is extremely supportive and understanding. His unwavering support is even more amazing when I consider his world view, that can be summed up with a simple yet profound phrase "Horses are money pits!" We live on our beautiful acreage in the southwest along with many animals, including my three mares, who will hopefully produce future barrel racing champions for me. (At least, that's our goal!!!)
My husband and I own a mixed martial arts club in Bridgetown where we coach kids, teens, and adults. We encourage confidence, determination and resilience. Inspiring young and old alike, to never give up and to work well under pressure. We say that you really got to be in it, to win it. Competing in Mixed martials arts as an amateur and professional, I have learnt that it's never a loss, it's always a lesson. I bring this mentality with me in all areas of my life, including my new passion Barrel Racing, that I began at 46 yrs of age. The moral of the story is.... you're never too OLD to give something a go!
If I could give one bit of advice to anyone reading this, I would say, don't worry if you don't have the right saddle, or even the right horse. Just make sure you are wearing Rodeo Rose Boutique apparel, and you will do just fine...
Oh, and don't worry about what everyone else is doing, just have fun and compete against yourself. Whenever you ride into the arena, focus on doing better than your last run. That's what helps me every time I go into the arena, and it will help you too.
Since meeting Shivaun and her amazing brand, Rodeo Rose Boutique, I don't go a day without wearing one of her fab caps, shirts, jumpers or jeans. All her merchandise is very comfortable and affordable. I feel so blessed to now become an ambassador for this brand!!
Ariana Rhodes
Hi, my names Ariana and I’m 8 years old and live in Lake Clifton.
I started riding at 2 and have been very lucky that my sister gave me her horse paisley. I have just started to ride my other pony whisper and look forward to our time together.
I love everything rodeo and getting to go to them with my family and friends. I love cheering for everyone in the arena.
Thank you so much for this opportunity, I’m so excited to be apart of the Rodeo Rose team.
Sara Shaw
My name is Sara and I’m 22yrs old.
I work on the mines for BHP as a machine operator and I've been around horses my whole life. I wasn’t born into the western world but always dreamed of being a part of it since watching the rodeos growing up, so I worked hard and built my dream life which I’m currently living in🥰
I never thought I’d be where I am today …training and breaking in my little QH x Paint “Akeelah” for the first time ever. It has been challenging but it’s been so rewarding and I've had some pretty awesome people support me along the way❤️(you know who you are) xx
Won’t be long till she’s old enough and ready for us to get out there in the ring and chase some cans and maybe even get into roping some calves😉
I’m so happy and honored to be a part of the RR team and can’t wait to share these amazing products with people🥰
Kara Leech
Hi, my name is Kara I’m 23 and I’m from Brisbane Queensland. I’ve been riding horses since I was five and owned them since I was nine. I currently have six horses I started out in sporting, showjumping and eventing and have a soft spot for OTTBs. I have now decided to give rodeo a try with my new horse Montana.
When I’m not competing in local comps, I’m busy managing a riding school called Quarter Mile Ranch. Coaching is my passion and I’m so lucky to be able to have horses in my day-to-day life.
I’m so excited to be a part of the Rodeo Rose team.
Flynn Mccullough
My name is Flynn Mccullough, I’m 21 years old and I’m from Narrikup Western Australia, where I live & work on our property breeding beef cattle and a small number of bucking bulls with my partner Michaela and her father.
I’ve been competing at rodeos in Western Australia for 5 or so years riding bulls. When I was younger I started out riding calves/steers, I had a break for a good while and still found my way back into the sport!
I think what has me hooked on rodeo is putting my mental and physical to the test with trying to match the bulls move for move, there’s no feeling quite like it.
The mates you meet along the way, and just the entire atmosphere, I’m lucky to be a part of such a supportive sport where people are happy to lend a hand while competing against each other .
I’m absolutely stoked to represent Rodeo Rebel and can’t thank them enough for the help and support for this year !
Joel Ruff
Hi, my name is Joel Ruff. I am 23years old and live on a small hobby farm in Bullsbrook.
I have been involved with rodeo since I was 5yrs old starting off on the Mutton Busters, then Steer Riding and progressing to the Bull Riding. In this last
year I decided to try Bareback Riding which is now my main event. In 2017 I won
the state title for the 14/18 steer riding.
The sport of Rodeo is an important part of my life because I absolutely love the adrenalin rush it brings and the challenge to better yourself every ride that you do.
It has always been my dream as a kid to win a Title and this is what I strive for when I compete.
The rodeo atmosphere, the competitive but supportive spirit of mates and the crowd encouragement are all things that keep me loving the sport.
I would be really happy to represent Rodeo Rebel and appreciate all their help and support in achieving my dream!
Michaela Dunnet
My name is Michaela Dunnet. I am 26 years old and live in the deep south of Western Australia in Narrikup on a cattle property with my old boy and my partner Flynn Mccullough, who also rodeos; you have probably heard me on the sideline cheering him on!
Apologies for causing a racket, ha-ha!
I started Barrel Racing in 2020 in Western Australia Rodeo on my little Buckskin pony, Spirit! I stepped it up a notch in recent years with my boy Randi, who had a hunk of horsepower and knowledge of tin spinning behind him. I owe him the world for teaching me what I know today; he's one of a kind. Before
appearing in the Western Australia Rodeo scene, I was in North Queensland getting strapped to poddy calves by my older brothers before their events, Saddle Bronc & Open Bull Ride.
My favorite part of Rodeo is the challenge within yourself - pushing yourself out of your comfort zone, getting out of your head, getting out in that arena with your best mate and giving it your absolute best. To me, that's already a win; everything else is just a bonus!
I can't wait to represent Rodeo Rose and share the brand far and wide, and I am incredibly grateful to Shivaun for this special opportunity.
