ABOUT HUNTER
Growing up in Texas, Hunter was the first in his family to rope, learning
the basics in a home arena his parents built. He fell in love with the sport — and got
serious about competition — when a neighbor and mentor, Gary Jacobs, taught him to rope and
had him help exercise racehorses.
After competing on a scholarship for Vernon (Texas) Junior College and
qualifying for the College National Finals Rodeo, Hunter turned pro in 2019. He's a
three-time NFR qualifier, a Canadian Finals Rodeo Champion Heeler, and the 2022 American
Rope Horse Futurity 1st Go-Round Champion in the 4-Year-Old Division.
In 2023, he teamed up with fellow Team Durango® athlete
Luke Brown.
