Fun Facts about Wesley: He has a lot to be proud of with eight consecutive Wrangler National Finals Rodeo qualifications as a heeler. His first came in 2016 with Zac Small, the same year the duo won the College National Finals Rodeo. Then Wesley roped with Cody Snow for three years. A change in 2020 saw him roping with Chad Masters. Then he was back with Cody in 2021 and 2022. He began this year with Cody. In April he started roping with Tyler Wade and that is who he will rope with in the Thomas and Mack Arena this year. This is the first time that Wesley has started the NFR in first place. He is definitely in contention for his second gold buckle. He is good on the horns too, recently winning $40,000 at a rope horse futurity heading on a four-year-old mare that was given to him by his wife’s parents for his birthday. Wesley and Susanna are proud parents of two boys, Matthew and Charles, who are almost always in the cheering section watching their favorite cowboy.
