2017 Rookie of the Year Taci Bettis

In her very first year of professional rodeo, Taci Bettis surpassed her wildest dreams climbing the 2017 standings until she found herself the official Rookie of Year, and ranked among the best of the best, headed for the bright lights of Las Vegas. This is Taci and "Smash"'s story of a stellar career up until the 2017 NFR. Undoubtedly only the first chapter of her bright future.

I don't agree with how Tammy does things, but I hope I get to have a chance to find a mentor like her when I hit the rodeo trail this year. Taci is a very lucky girl.
