Cowgirl and World Champion Barrel Racer. She was the second of Bitha Hendrix and Bill Hinson's four daughters, and she grew up on their ranch in Coryell County, Texas. She learned to ride horses and barrel race alongside her sisters, and in the early 1940s, they started competing in girls' flag and barrel racing events at rodeos all throughout Texas. She won the flag and barrel racing championships in 1943 at the Baylor Bears Club Rodeo in Waco, Texas, with an average timing of 13.2 seconds. Until the last night of the event, when her sister Eula hit a barrel and was disqualified, the two were going neck and neck in the same race. Throughout the 1940s, she continued to earn prizes in a variety of competitions, and in 1947, she won a new saddle at the Big Springs Rodeo by taking first place in the flag races. By the mid-1950s, she was nearly unbeatable. In 1954, her first year of competition in the Girls Rodeo Association, "World Champion Barrel Racer," she only received the reserve world champion. In 1955, she and her horse, Zombie, made 99 runs and only knocked over one barrel. She won the Girls Rodeo Association (GRA) "World Champion Barrel Racer" for four straight years from 1955 to 1958. She held the four-year title for 29 years until Charmayne James broke it in 1988. Charmayne now holds the record with 11 titles. Her horse, Zombie, developed night blindness during the 1959 rodeo season, restricting her vision at night and inside coliseums. She knew that cost her the championship, though they did get reserve grand. The night blindness also ended Zombie's barrel racing career in the Professional Rodeo Association. She became a charter member of the Girls Rodeo Association (GRA) in 1947 and carried card number nine. For 13 years, she held roles as vice president, director secretary, and president from 1957 to 1959. She was inducted into the "Texas Rodeo Cowboy Hall of Fame" in (1980), the "National Cowgirl Hall of Fame" in (1981), the "Texas Rodeo Hall of Fame" in (1981), the "ProRodeo Hall of Fame" (2018), and her horse Zombie was also inducted into the "Texas Rodeo Cowboy Hall of Fame" in (2012).
