Cowboy Christmas can be one of the most defining times in a rodeo athlete's season earnings. For some, it gives them the chance to make their way into or close to the Top 15. For others, it strengthens their standing and opportunity to return to the Thomas & Mack in December. A lot of rodeos and a lot of money to be won over a short time frame. These are the cowgirls who cashed in the most money!
