Fun Facts about Ryann: Her focus has been on training futurity and derby horses until this year. High Point Performance Horses had some promising rodeo horses and they wanted Ryann to be their jockey. She took on the challenge and got early success on Feel the Sting “Stinger.” She has also been riding French Zone “Hollywood,” and HP Dash Ta Fiesta “Firewater.” Ryann’s husband, Don Lee is an equine veterinarian. She was in 16th place until the final week of the season. The W at the ProRodeo Tour Finale in Rapid City, South Dakota saw her jump into the top 15.
