Vetericyn Signs Hailey Kinsel to its Rodeo Athlete Team

The company continues to support athletes and enthusiasts in the rodeo and farm and ranch community with its innovative animal health solutions.

RIALTO – February, 2025 — Vetericyn, a prominent name in equine and animal health, has revealed their latest addition of Hailey Kinsel; Professional Barrel Racer, to its notable Rodeo Athlete Team. This distinguished team features a diverse group of professional rodeo competitors who are deeply committed to promoting equine health and wholeheartedly embody the farm and ranch lifestyle—an integral part of American agriculture.

“Hailey has done incredible things for the sport of barrel racing and we’re ecstatic she has chosen to join our team. Learning she’s as much a fan of Vetericyn products as we are of her put a huge smile on our faces. We can’t wait to work with her to help educate equine enthusiasts on the sport of rodeo and our animal wellness products,” says Geoff Hamby, Director of Marketing for Vetericyn.

2025/2026 Vetericyn Rodeo Athlete Team includes the following athletes:

• Hailey Kinsel: Hailey Kinsel is a standout name in the world of barrel racing. Raised on her family’s commercial beef cattle ranch in South Texas, Hailey has been immersed in the rodeo scene from an early age. She purchased her horse, Sister, as a 2-year-old and, alongside her mom, trained her. Over time, Sister has become Hailey’s trusted companion, and together they’ve formed an unstoppable team in barrel racing. A proud user of Vetericyn, Hailey has achieved incredible success in the arena, securing 4 world titles and 8 NFR qualifications.
  
  
• Sissy Winn: Sissy Winn, a Texas-born cowgirl renowned for her style and energy, has qualified twice for the NFR. With a strong presence in the arena, she is a seven-time national qualifier for both junior high and high school rodeo finals and a former Miss Rodeo Texas Teen. Sissy is poised for a promising and enduring career in rodeo, while bringing Vetericyn on the road with her (as well as her mini ponies).
  
  
• Josie Conner: Josie Conner, the WPRA’s Resistol Rookie of the Year in 2022, is a highly accomplished breakaway roper who remains a key figure in the growing momentum of women’s breakaway roping. With three National Finals Breakaway Roping (NFBR) qualifications under her belt, Josie, raised in a rodeo family, is on track for continued success in the sport. A longtime fan of our brand, Josie continues to shine in the Breakaway while trusting Vetericyn in all her horse care.
  
  
• Beau Cooper: Beau Cooper, a Canadian cowboy who qualified for his first NFR in 2023, has quickly made a name for himself in the rodeo world. Named the 2021 Resistol Rookie of the Year and mentored by Shane Hanchey, Beau is also the cousin of World Champion saddle bronc rider Zeke Thurston. Outside of the arena, he enjoys hunting. When it comes to taking care of his gear, Beau is a big fan of Vetericyn’s FoamCare Shampoo, appreciating how well it works on his horses—it's a must-have for him when he's getting ready for the next big competition.
  
  
• Cody Emerson: Cody Emerson, a four-time PRCA Bullfighter of the Year nominee and World Champion freestyle bullfighter, stands out among our rodeo athletes with his unique blend of skill and humor. In the arena, Cody plays a crucial role in keeping competitors safe, a responsibility he takes seriously with his trademark wit. Away from the action, Cody and his wife, Sierra, run a ranch where they raise a variety of livestock. Cody has been a long-time fan of Vetericyn, using it on his ranch for years to keep his animals healthy and thriving.
  
  
• Jesse Brown: In recent years, Jesse Brown has become a familiar face in the rodeo world, with success following him wherever he competes. A former collegiate football player, Jesse has a strong winning mindset that has served him well. An Oregon native and five-time NFR qualifier, Jesse grew up on a ranch and comes from a family with a deep PRCA heritage. Since joining our team in 2022, Jesse has shown a true commitment to our brand, and we’re proud to have him as part of our rodeo family.
  
  
• Shane Hanchey: World titles in tie-down roping are hard-earned, and Shane Hanchey is proud to have one to his name, along with 15 qualifications to the National Finals Rodeo. A native of Louisiana, Shane is highly respected by his peers both inside and outside the arena. In addition to his accomplishments, Shane has also relied on Vetericyn to keep his horses performing at their best. Outside of rodeo, Shane welcomed a son into his family last year, adding even more joy to his already successful life.
  
  
• Taylor Hanchey: Taylor Hanchey made history as the first WPRA member to qualify for the NFR in two events, competing in both barrel racing and, more recently, the WPRA-sanctioned breakaway roping. Last year, she also celebrated the birth of her baby. As the wife of Shane Hanchey (another Vetericyn athlete), the couple resides in her hometown of Carmine, TX.
  
  
• Stevi Hillman: Barrel racer Stevi Hillman has built her success from the ground up, training and breeding the horses that drive her competitive career. With eight NFR qualifications among her many rodeo accomplishments, Stevi is also passionate about life coaching with her husband, Ty, through their website PrepareToWin.tv and their recently released book Mind Fuel. Along with her success in the arena, Stevi relies on Vetericyn for her travels and at her thriving horse ranch, where it’s become an essential part of caring for her horses.
