Under the leadership of newly appointed head coach Bobby Harris, Sheppick plans to showcase her talents in team roping, breakaway roping, and barrel racing.

Harris, a Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame inductee and world champion team roper and steer roper, expressed excitement about Sheppick joining the team. “The Sheridan Generals Rodeo Team is very excited to have Ryen join our team. We look forward to watching her grow as a Sheridan General. She will be a great asset to the team with her top notch skills in Breakaway, Team Roping and Barrel Racing. She has the skill set we are seeking to help build our team. Go General’s,” said Harris.
