Rodeoing his whole life, 14-year-old Eastin Rosales and his horse Dollar qualified for the Tuffest Jr. World Championship in Las Vegas, Nevada for tie-down roping. The competition will take place in December 2024. In addition to his recent accomplishment, Eastin also won all-around for his age group for the New Mexico Junior Rodeo Association.

Eastin, who lives in Questa part-time, is a freshman and attends Taos High School. He is the son of BJ Rosales and SueAnn Vigil. His sister, Alexis Rosales, also rodeos alongside her brother, as do his step-siblings Martin and Analiese Rivera.

Eastin is a team roper (heeler) and also does ribbon roping and breakaway roping. In addition to rodeo, he is also an active member of his 4-H group and participates in series across the state. Eastin also plays basketball and baseball. His stepmother Krystle Cisneros says, “we are so proud and very excited of his accomplishments.”
