Jessie Armstrong
Jessie is not only a professional breakaway roper and a CPRA/WPRA money earner, but she’s also one of the most multi-talented women you'll meet!
She started using SwitchUp Buckets just this past winter — and let’s just say, her conversion story is a good one. Check out our Facebook page to watch her hilarious video! When she's not on the road, you’ll find Jessie:
Working at her family’s feedlot
Riding young horses
And singing beautifully in her downtime

Bobbi Henderson
Welcome to the SwitchUp team Bobbi Henderson! We’re excited to have Bobbi Henderson, from Alix, Alberta — an accomplished rodeo athlete and a proud SwitchUp Bucket user to the Switch Up Team!
Bobbi has integrated the Switch Up bucket system into her daily program, calling it one of her must-have tools. Its durability, versatility, and time-saving design have made a major difference in her routine.
Being able to pack both supplements and grain in one secure, reusable bucket —eliminating disposable bags — has streamlined her travel and feeding schedule, whether on the road or at home.One of her favourite memories with the product came when she qualified for the CFR for the very first time. We were honoured to be asked to supply buckets for the contestant gift exchange, and they quickly became a standout hit — everyone raved about the quality and practicality.
As Bobbi says:“Switch Up is a product that truly stands behind its name. If you haven’t tried it yet, I highly recommend it.”

Memphis Jones
Memphis is a proud member of AHSRA, CARA, and TRC — and ropes every chance he gets! Growing up on a mixed grain farm and cattle ranch between Byemoor and Big Valley, he's been in the saddle since he was just 2 years old and started roping as soon as he could swing a rope! When he’s not chasing calves, you’ll find him:
Helping on the family farm
Out hunting
Or hitting up TRCs, CARA rodeos, and anywhere he can convince his mom to take him!
Memphis is also a huge fan of SwitchUp Buckets — with a couple of horses on the road for High School Rodeos, these buckets have been a total game changer for hauling feed!

Sam Smith
✨ Meet Sam Smith!✨
We’re so excited to welcome Sam Smith, a talented CPRA barrel racer, to the SwitchUp Buckets Team! 🐎💨
Sam has been a supporter of SwitchUp Buckets since the very beginning and knows firsthand how our bucket inserts make feeding time a breeze:
“Kelsey has been great to deal with, and using the SwitchUp Bucket inserts has made feeding multiple horses—or meal planning for one—a walk in the park! Each of my horses has their own colour insert, which keeps everything straight at feeding time and makes it so easy for others to help out when needed. I colour coordinate my bucket inserts to each horse’s colour to keep things simple!”
💚 Sam’s Favorite SwitchUp Product:
👉 5 Gallon 1/3 Insert Combo
Welcome to the team, Sam! We can’t wait to cheer you on in and out of the arena! 🎉🐴
