Half sisters from Bosque Farms, N.M., might not share a last name but they share a passion.
Leia Pluemuer, 15, and Kylie Novak, 14, said they began horse riding when they were about six months old.
“I was a big baby,” Novak said. “I was about 10 pounds.”
Pleumer, who is No. 825, said she weighed about eight pounds at birth.
The sisters share a mother, who passed her passion for rodeo to the youth, Pluemer said.
“It runs in the family,” Pleumer said.
This will be Pleumer’s first year competing in at the International Finals Youth Rodeo. She will compete in barrel racing, pole bending, goat tying and breakaway roping. She said barrel racing is her favorite event because it’s her strongest suit.
Novak said she hopes to compete at IFYR next year because she will enter high school this year.
“Poles is probably my best event,” she said.
The sisters said they are supportive of each other at events.
“You can always see me with my camera in the stands screaming for Leia,” Novak said.
