Presley Whitaker’s Road to Recovery

Presley Whitaker, wife of Montana State’s rodeo coach, is healing after a harrowing horse accident that left her with a broken jaw and amputated hand—but her spirit remains unbroken. While roping during a lifelong passion, she was dragged by the rope, slammed into a fence, and suffered life-altering injuries. After 24 days in Salt Lake City’s hospital, she’s back home, struggling with simple tasks like brushing her daughters’ hair, yet buoyed by a community rallying around her—with a GoFundMe raising over $35,000. Though she’s still wearing a neck brace and waiting for clearance to ride again, Presley’s determination shines: she’s already dreaming of getting back on horseback to show her kids that resilience means rising after every fall.
