Justin Maass grew up in the small town of Giddings, Texas, about 60 miles east of Austin. As a kid he was more interested in team sports than rodeo, but once he tried his hand at roping he was hooked. The rest is history. Maass is the only cowboy to win back-to-back PRCA/AQHA Tie-Down Horse of the Year Awards with two different horses. He is a two-time Rodeo Houston champion, eight-time WNFR qualifier, and PRCA $1 million earner, among numerous other titles and wins. The numbers certainly don't lie in proving Maass knows a thing or two about calf roping.
