Jan Youren (born 1943 in Boise, Idaho) is an American former professional rodeo cowgirl.
She rode bareback horses and bulls, competing for 51 years and winning several world titles.
He explained about the girls riding bareback broncs and horses who were competing in a rodeo the same way men did.
Sterling Alley, her father, put on his own rodeo for Youren just so she could ride.
“I would have done anything for my dad, anything to get a little higher in my daddy’s eyes.” Regardless of her age and inexperience, she won the bareback brong riding and the cowriding events.
