Fun Facts about Brady: He will be very happy to be roping behind his brother in the Thomas and Mack Center again this year. Brady and his brother Riley have qualified together 11 times. Last year, Riley missed the cut and was watching from the stands. Brady got to rope with Derrick Begay and they each added about $60,000 to their checking accounts. Brady and Riley have more than roping in common. They each added daughters to their families in 2020. Brady and his wife Ashley had a son Maverick in 2015. He was premature and spent three months in the NICU. Then in 2020, Mesa came early and Brady’s rodeo schedule had to adapt to her birth, being in the NICU and finally being home. Their family has been inducted into the Ellensburg Rodeo Hall of Fame, and they are legends in the Kittitas Valley.
