Rookie on Top: Weston Timberman

By Lillian Landreth

Weston Timberman is a second-generation pro rodeo cowboy making his own mark on the family’s rodeo history. The 20-year-old bareback rider from Columbus, Montana recently clinched his second straight CNFR championship in Casper, Wyoming. He won two rounds at the CNFR, and made up a two-man men’s team that finished second. Add to that his lead in the Resistol Rookie standings with $45,160, and 17^th place in the PRCA world standings, and Weston is on a trajectory towards several national qualifications—and titles—in 2024. His dad, Chris Timberman, was the 2006 RAM National Circuit Finals Rodeo Bareback Champion.

While rodeoing for Clarendon College, Weston stayed on top of his pro rodeo career. He started off 2024 by winning the Montana Pro Rodeo Circuit Finals and nearly $6,000. The San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo treated him well, where he accrued more than $20,000, along with picking up another check for $3,144 at Rodeo Houston. Winning the Resistol Rookie Roundup in April put Weston ahead another $3,000, and his 88-point ride at Battle Born Broncs in June placed another $7,840 in his bank account.

Weston is competing amongst his peers at the Calgary Stampede for the first time in July, and continues to focus on staying healthy and making a summer run that ends with a ticket to Las Vegas and the WNFR.
