Grace Wiening
Hi, I’m Grace Wiening! I’m a college rodeo athlete at New Mexico State University going into my senior year, and I’m majoring in Business Finance. I compete in breakaway and team roping, and I absolutely love it—it’s truly become my whole life.
​
Rodeo and school both mean a lot to me, so I wanted a way to stay organized and focused to be the best I can be, both in the arena and out. That’s why Ashley and I created Arena Agenda—a tool to help us (and other athletes) balance practice, competition, and academics all in one place.
Ashley Parker
I’m Ashley Parker, and I am on a mission to serve American agriculture and the western industry. I grew up in a small community, heavily influenced by agriculture, in Montana. While I was not directly involved with farming, I had my fair share of long days on the ranch and in the feedlot. At a young age, I started competing at youth rodeos and worked my way up to being a college rodeo athlete for New Mexico State University. I can attribute most of my redeeming qualities to my experiences on the ranch and in the arena.
Looking forward, my goals adjusted now that I am no longer horseback every day. For the past four years, I’ve been behind a camera as a photographer, which lead me to build Tack Room Media. My education at NMSU improved my skills in photography, graphic design, and business. Those skills coupled with my business partner and numbers genius, Grace Wiening, was the start of Arena Agenda. Now we are off and running with this little business in hopes of helping you in the arena.
