Amid managing careers, children and households, for a few moments each weekend, they are completely powerless to influence the fate of their partner mounting an ornery bucking bull.

The women of the PBR have unique perspective, and heading into the Music City Knockout, presented by Cooper Tires, in Nashville this past weekend, fans were given a look into the supreme juggling act of living on the road in a big-time professional sport.

The event at Dierks Bentley’s Whiskey Row on the noisy Nashville strip was presented by Montana Silversmiths, who have partnered with the participants – Caitlin Brooks, Kaitlyn Davis, Korie Nance, and Kate Harrison – on a special line of jewelry that was on display.

Harrison, sideline reporter for PBR on CBS, moderated the compelling conversation which covered a range of topics, including sacrifices made for their cowboy partners even while launching and managing their own careers.

PBR couples spend a daunting amount of time away from home. They’re the first to get to events spanning from New York City to Sacramento, California, and the last to leave.

For Brooks, who was born in Saskatchewan, raised in Alberta and now doing makeup and hair in Kindersley, Saskatchewan, a Canadian home base means days on end barreling down seemingly endless miles of pavement with her boyfriend Dakota Buttar.

“Dakota says if a PBR is within 17 hours, he’ll drive,” she said.

They’ll split the duties behind the wheel, usually spreading the road trip over two days.

But all that travel can be a blessing when arriving a day early and staying an extra one to see new cities.

Korie Nance, who played college soccer and then became a registered nurse, now works part time so she can be with Cody on the road.

“I was working 60 hour weeks; now I’m spending time with my best friend,” she said.

Her favorite memories in PBR are “anytime the kids are with us.”

The Nances have a camper and in July took their three children to Calgary, where Nash, 3, was delighted to see his dad Cody win.

Similarly, Mack Davis is a familiar and beloved face on tour, having only missed a handful of PBR elite series events in the past four years.

Every week, he’ll scurry down the arena hallway, searching for Cody Nance.

When the Tennessee cowboy spots Mack, he hands him a riding glove.  

“Cody’s gonna go broke giving Mack all those gloves,” Kaitlyn joked.

But the conversation also turned serious when Kaitlyn explained the origin of her growing company Reign Lashes, which is now distributed in 350 stores.

The business started as a hobby. But when Mackson, now 4, was diagnosed with a rare blood disease called Transient Erythroblastopenia of Childhood, Kaitlyn began donating a pair of Reign Lashes to women undergoing chemotherapy for each pair of lashes purchased. 

The strange, rare, hard-to-pronounce illness causing severe anemia rocked the couple’s world. Mack took four blood transfusions. He is now doing very well, while Cooper went on to win a world championship and Kaitlyn’s business took off.

When Jess Lockwood bucked off the Davis’ bull, of course named Reign Lashes, Jess lost a bet. He had to wear a pair with Cooper applying the lashes. Social media exploded.

For teenage girls, attempting to get ahold of those lashes was like trying to secure a lock of Beatle hair 50 years ago.

The 2016 World Champion expertly applied the lashes onto the reigning World Champion, Kaitlyn added.

While many of the women of the PBR, like Caitlyn Brooks, a former barrel racer who rodeoed her whole life, were familiar with the lifestyle before meeting their cowboy partner, Davis was in for extreme culture shock.  

(Fans can see how she’s coping on the new documentary series, “Belles of the Bull,” now on Facebook Watch.)

She was 18 and Cooper 19 when they met at a Buffalo Wild Wings. 

“Cooper told me he was a bull rider; I didn’t know what that was,” she said. “One thing led to another, and I’m still following him around. I don’t even eat wings. It was fate.”

Harrison seemed fated to cover PBR once two-time World Champion Justin McBride caught the impressive southern Californian covering The American.

“’You actually sound like you know your stuff!’ Justin said to me,” she recalled. “He thought I’d just studied hard, but nope, I have done this my entire life.

“I do study like it’s nobody’s business; the riders’ stories deserve to be told and told well. But I learned it’s never going to be perfect. You just have to be yourself and learn to laugh at yourself.”

The women of the PBR make lists, they book flights and hotels and make sure to have the right movies on the iPad for the kids for those hours on airplanes.

They do their best to do it all, knowing that whether you’re on the air, or in the air, nobody’s going to be perfect.

“You don’t ever find balance,” Kaitlyn Davis said. “I get home and have to leave again.”

Soon enough, another PBR in Nashville – or “Country Vegas” as Kaitlin calls it – was in the books.

The women and their cowboys had checked out of the Sheraton, rolling their bags through another revolving door, off to another airport.
