His father, Paul, earned four championships spanning nearly three decades of competition. The Timed Event Championship is one of the most prestigious events in professional rodeo and competitors are invited to participate.
"It's great. I'd share it with them all; my dad keeps me on track and helps me out. That's the main deal of why I came out on top this year,” said Tierney in a post-winning interview about his family participation in his big win.
Circle Y worked closely with Paul, Jesse, and Paul David Tierney when designing the XP® Tierney All-Around saddle, suitable for all roping events as well as working on the ranch. The Tierney family uses this saddle for calf roping, team roping, steer tripping, and training horses.
The saddle is designed for durability and maintaining the correct position on the horse through the fit of the tree and design of the riggings. All Xtreme Performance® saddles are backed by a lifetime tree warranty and are fully customizable.
