In his lifetime, Jet McCoy has held many titles, from son and brother to husband and father to champion and reality-television star.
Through each layer of each job, one description stands out: Cowboy. It’s a title he’s had for all 46 of his years, and he’ll show it off during the Oklahoma City ProRodeo is set for 7:30 p.m. Friday, Jan. 23-Saturday, Jan. 24, and 2 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 25, at OG&E Coliseum inside OKC Fair Park in Oklahoma City.
“My mom always said if you didn’t have kids horseback by the time they were 4, it was too late,” said McCoy of Ada, Oklahoma, who will be one of three pickup men next week. “That experience on the ranch has played such a huge role in being a good pickup man, because you have to be able to read livestock and know where they’re going before they get there.
