To My Potential Partner,
Hi, my name is Willow Hooper and I am writing to you as I am seeking sponsorship for my 2024 Rodeo Season. I would like to align myself with small, local businesses that I believe would be a mutually beneficial relationship for everyone.
A little about me!
I am a 9 year old girl originally from Queensland, Australia who made the big move to Calgary, Alberta with my Mum and Dad in November of 2020.
In the Summer of 2021, I had the opportunity to ride my first horse during a camp and immediately found my passion, moving into the Fall I was already enrolled in a regular season program and shortly after into my first Barrel Race Jackpot. Both my Instructors and Parents identified a genuine talent and sincere ability in my riding as I spent additional time with various horses. Since beginning of the completive circuit, I've had the opportunity to ride two horses; the first was “Six” who was an introductory Gelding with the second “Peaches” that is a Palomino that my family purchased for Christmas 2022.
Over the summer when not competing at rodeos, I worked at two different ranches - moving cattle, farm chores, assisting in horse training and colt starting. My school is a Montessori, it’s so much fun and my favourite subjects are Math, Music, Art and Creative Writing.
I would like to introduce my team, my mum and dad, “Peaches”, my dog “Chicken Nugget” and my amazing instructor and rodeo traveling partner: “Alysha Marie”. Along with all my family and friends that are supporting me back in Australia as well as in here in Alberta & down in Texas.
To date I have competed in the following series with results:
High River New Year Bash 2022 – Peewee Champion Buckle
High River Barrel Racing Winter Series 2022/2023 – Peewee Champion
Bash It Up Summer Series 2022 – 1D Peewee High Point Reserve Champion

My fellow under 10-year competitors and I are currently disrupting the way we are seen on the rodeo circuit! We are running as fast as the top adults and youth, inspiring the future peewee competitors. My average barrel race time at the Future Cowboys and Cowgirls is 16.134 seconds and High River Barrel Racing Winter Series is 15.840 seconds. My fast time to date is 14.996 at the High River New Year Bash 2022. So with additional time and resources, we are guaranteed to see even quicker passes and further championships! My rodeo goal is to enter the pro circuit within the next 5 years, so my family and friends here in Canada as well as back in Australia can watch me on the Cowboy Channel.
And to help this come true, this year I am participating in following series and events.
