Jake Barnes Heeling

Jake Barnes was inducted into the ProRodeo Hall of Fame in 1997 and has earned his reputation through over 40 years of remarkable roping success and distinguished achievements. He’s a three-time WNFR Average Champion—holding the 10-head record that still standings—a 12-time Ram National Circuit Finals Qualifier and a four-time RNCRF Champion.

Jake Barnes is known for his never-say-die attitude that led him to become the most determined roper in the PRCA, wearing out roping dummy after roping dummy in the pursuit of perfection.
