Canyon, Texas
Jordan Jo Fabrizio is a force of nature. She ranked third at in the Breakaway World Standings in 2020 and was the first person to win the Breakaway Roping title at the Cheyenne Frontier Days Invitational in 2019. (If that isn’t the definition of hustle, we don’t know what is.) She’s fueled by representing a strong female presence in the rodeo circuit, passionate about inspiring the generations that follow, and determined to push her talent as far as she can take it. But believe it or not, Jordan Jo enjoys (occasional) downtime, and she shared a piece of it with us. So kick back with a YETI® Mug full of joe, and catch up the inner workings of this history-maker’s mind.
