Jackie was instrumental in the formation of the GRA, helping to plan and form the association and serving two terms as president. Holding 23 world championships from a thirteen year rodeo career, Jackie learned to ride on her parent's ranch, using everything from the milk-pen cows to the broodmares to train. A graduate of Texas State College for Women and an accomplished musician, Jackie eventually retired from rodeo to take over management of the family ranch.
