GUYMON, Okla. – Ryan Jarrett has been in this place before.

The winner’s circle.

Jarrett, the 2005 all-around world champion from Comanche, Oklahoma, won another Pioneer Days Rodeo championship trophy belt to add to his collection by claiming the all-around title. It was the second Guymon all-around crown in three years and the third overall for the 13-time National Finals Rodeo qualifier.

He earned $9,518, most of which came in tie-down roping. He won the third round and finished second in the aggregate. He wrapped it all up with an 8.1-second run Sunday afternoon.

“This is one of those double-dipper rodeos,” Jarrett said. “It’s a good (Prairie) Circuit rodeo, and it’s also a good ProRodeo to start the summer run. It’s always good to do well here. Hopefully we can roll on and continue to do good.”

Most of the year, Jarrett focuses on tie-down roping, but there are a few instances where he will stretch his wings. In Guymon, he competed in team roping, serving as a header for fellow tie-down roper Marty Yates. They earned $495 by placing in the opening round. He earned the most money of all cowboys who competed in more than one event in Oklahoma’s only ProRodeo Hall of Fame event.

It’s been 12 years since he collected his first Guymon belt. In 2009, he won the tie-down roping title. He followed that with the all-around crown a decade later. Of course, no cowboy has success without having a good equine partner, and that was definitely the case for him.

“I rode that horse in Red Bluff, California,” he said of Rudy, a sorrel gelding owned by fellow roper Lane Livingston. “I was in the process of selling mine. I also rode that horse the first two rounds here. He’s a winner. There’s nothing against mine, but I have confidence on that one.

“It’s a rodeo vibe. You feel good, confidence riding a horse, that’s what you choose to do.”

Jarrett recently sold his good horse, Snoopy, to Kansan Tyler Milligan and is in the process of getting in sync with a new mount. In the interim, Jarrett understands the importance of being in control at big events like Guymon.

“I actually purchased a nice horse,” he said. “I just don’t have all the confidence in the world in him yet, but I’ve been riding him some places.”

At 37 years old, Jarrett is far removed from the NFR rookie who won the most coveted gold buckle in ProRodeo 16 seasons ago. The veteran still knows what it takes to be a winner.
