Personal
Single — Go involved in rodeo at age
3 because her father,
FC Stover, was a tie-down roper. She has one brother and one sister. — In
2001, her horse Bo was
diagnosed with a torn suspensory ligament near his front ankle
and was out of competition
for nearly a year. As a result a fellow barrel racer, Peyton
Raney, offered to let
Stover use her horse Nate Shilabur (Hot Shot) for the remainder
of the year. Stover went
on to win a world title that year. After the 2001 Wrangler
NFR, Hot Shot was sold
to an 11-year-old Oklahoma cowgirl. … Stover
became the oldest WPRA
world champion in 2001. She was 47 years old. … In 2003,
Bo reinjured the ligament
and Stover was on the sideline the rest of the year. Bo
went through six month
of rehab and is back to try it in 2004. … Her
regular work out routine
consists of five days walking and riding and three
days of weight training.
