My mission in creating KappyAllen.Com is to allow Barrel Racing fans as well as Chris's personal fans to communicate both with me directly as well as with one another to promote this sport, which is so dear to my heart.

I want to help others to experience the joy of this and other Pro Rodeo sports. Thank you so much for visiting, and I hope you will return often. We will work hard to keep this site dynamic and fresh and to offer products and information that is of value to you.

I look forward to hearing your feedback!

Grady Allen

Kappy's father earned a National Team Roping buckle in 1957 while attending Texas A&I in Kingsville. He won several rodeos in calf roping including San Antonio, Casper, Memphis, Little Rock, and Waco with a record fastest calf ever tied at the Calgary Stampede in 1958. He was the first left-handed calf roper to qualify for the National Finals in 1960 and one of the proudest to get to go back with his daughter Kappy who qualified for the barrel race in 1999. Grady was inducted into the Texas Rodeo Cowboy Hall of Fame in 2002.
