Riding Through Generations: The Rautenstrauch-Domes Family’s Rodeo Journey

Feb 13, 2024

Melanie recounts her early days in the Attica area, where she first mounted a horse and entered the world of team penning in the Attica Rodeo Arena. She reflects on the cherished memories and lasting bonds formed within the Attica Rodeo Community. Carlene and Logan then share insights into their current pursuits in rodeo events, as they navigate the competitive landscape of the National High School Rodeo Association. Stay tuned for a future conversation with Melanie’s youngest daughter, Makenna, to complete the family’s rodeo narrative.

We hope that you enjoy.
