Fowler, Colo. —

A lifetime of hard work, dedication and living her dream has culminated in a world breakaway roping championship for Fowler resident, Tana Fellhauer. In November, Fellhauer, a 2003 graduate of Fowler High School claimed the Women's Professional Rodeo Association world title in Tulsa, Okla., by a mere two tenths of a second.

Fellhauer practically grew up on the back of a horse, first riding at the age of three years old, then competing in Little Britches Rodeo when she turned six. The daughter of Bill and Linda Fellhauer, she and her sister Becky regularly helped their dad on the family farm and ranch. Over the years, Fellhauer says she tried every event available; barrel racing, goat tying, team roping and breakaway, but always had a knack for roping. Fellhauer also trains colts and found breakaway roping was a good fit for her young charges.
