Rodeo Mom Blueprint: Mary Minor -- Grace, Grit and Grandkids

In this episode of Rodeo Mom Blueprint series on The Jen & Jeana Show, Jennifer and Jeana sit down with longtime rodeo mom, grandmother, educator, and ranch wife Mary Minor of Ellensburg, Washington. Mary shares the behind-the-scenes truth of raising two world-class team ropers—Brady and Riley Minor—while balancing ranch life, teaching, family, and the realities of rodeo culture.

Together, they talk through:

• What the “Rodeo Mom Blueprint” really means
• The quiet strength and constant giving rodeo moms carry
• Mary’s family’s multi-generation arena roots
• Raising competitive kids while fostering independence, character, and gratitude
• The grace it takes to keep a rodeo family moving forward

With humor, honesty, and the classic Minor grit, Mary brings listeners into her world—where the arena is the family table, the Cowboy Channel is always on, and the love of the sport connects generations.

This episode is a celebration of the unseen glue that rodeo moms provide and the reminder that, in this wild and beautiful lifestyle, grace for ourselves matters just as much as the grit we show every day.

Saddle up, Rodeo Mamas—this episode is the perfect blend of heart, heritage, and hometown grit.
