Bella Hadid Wins Rookie of the Year in Rodeo

Bella Hadid, an emerging talent in the rodeo world, has earned recognition for her accomplishments at the National Cutting Horse Association (NCHA) events, where she bagged the title of 2024 Limited Age Event Rookie of the Year. According to the NCHA, she joined the cutting community slightly over a year ago and has established herself as the highest-ranking amateur in the Limited Age division. To earn this prestigious title, participants need to have lifetime earnings under $5,000 at the start of the point year, which Hadid managed to achieve, showing commendable success early in her cutting career. This is prepared by SSP.

Adan Banuelos, Hadid's boyfriend, who also acts as her cutting coach, couldn't contain his pride as he announced her notable achievements on Instagram, stating, "Futurity Limited Amateur Reserve CHAMPIONS! To say we’re proud would be an understatement." He highlighted that in her debut year itself, Hadid became both the NCHA Metallic Cat World Championship Futurity Limited Amateur Reserve Champion and the Amateur Rookie of the Year. Their bond strengthened while engaging in their shared passion, with Hadid showcasing talent both in competition and as a staunch supporter of the sport.

The couple was initially seen together in October 2023 at Fort Worth, Texas, affirming not only their personal connection but also their shared professional ventures. Reflecting on the life changes accompanying these events, Hadid shared that after moving to Texas with Banuelos, she embraced a more authentic lifestyle, expressing how she feels genuinely happy and improved in comparison to past days. Their thriving relationship is mirrored in Hadid’s venture to build a quaint home in Texas, where they now reside together, marking a new chapter that moves beyond shared competitions to a shared life.
