#50 Building Your Dream on God's Time Through Daily Dedication
“I learned a lot about who I was and who I was capable of being and that was just an awesome experience.”
In this episode, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Camarie Roorda. Camarie and her family have been involved in agriculture and the rodeo industry for years and Camarie shares about her journey in rodeo. Camarie’s experience in rodeo helped spark her two businesses, the Performance Pony Company and RodeoKids. Camarie explains why she finds it important to invest in kids and help cultivate their passion for ag and rodeo.

About our guest: Camarie Roorda, RodeoKids - Iowa
Camarie Roorda is a small town Iowa cowgirl who grew up with family highly involved in the ag industry as competitors and producers, but didn't find her passion for it right away. As God would have it, she did eventually find the love for rodeo competition that led her to her purpose, providing for the youth in the industry. Through the Performance Pony Company and RodeoKids, Camarie provides products, services, and mentoring for youth and families. She also takes her many observations from conversations with youth to share a unique perspective that she hopes provides a voice for the youth and longevity for the sport of rodeo and the western way of life.
