Chelsea Shaffer was the managing editor for Spin To Win Rodeo for seven years, and is now the editor of the Team Roping Journal and Western editorial director for the Equine Network LLC. She grew up in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and now lives with her husband Tory and daughter Elise in Fort Lupton, Colorado. 

G.R. Schiavino is the managing editor of The Team Roping Journal. In 2017, she received a Western Heritage Award from the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum for her story “Warriors to Ride the River With,” published in American Cowboy magazine. More recently, Schiavino was a finalist for the American Horse Publication’s Equine Media Awards for her story “Beating the Odds” in The Team Roping Journal. Most recently, Schiavino was spied swinging a rope in ranchy settings. She’s a far cry from entering up, but she thinks there might be something to this whole roping deal.

A former intern for the company, Casey Allen is now the Jr. Western Digital Content Producer for Barrel Racing Magazine, The Breakaway Roping Journal and The Team Roping Journal.
