Dale Brisby, whose real name is Clint Hopping, is married to Macy Jennings Hopping. The couple tied the knot on 26 April 2014 and have been together for over a decade. Macy, born on 8 August 1988, is 37 years old as of 2026 and maintains a deliberately low public profile.
The Man Behind Dale Brisby
Clint Hopping, born on 21 May 1987 in Winnebago, Texas, is an American cowboy, podcaster, actor, and media personality. He created the Dale Brisby persona around 2013 to launch his Rodeo Time brand on YouTube. While Hopping competes professionally as a bull rider and saddle bronc rider, his Dale Brisby character is a flamboyant, wise-cracking cowboy alter ego built for entertainment.
His father, Vergil "Coke" Hopping, was a rancher, former rodeo competitor, and one-time Texas Tech Masked Raider. Clint's real-life brother, Tate Hopping, appears in his Netflix show under the character name "Leroy Gibbons."
Education and Physical Profile
Hopping stands at 6 feet 2 inches (186 cm) and weighs approximately 176 lbs (80 kg). He earned both a Bachelor of Science and a Master of Science in General Agriculture from Texas A&M University in 2011, adding academic credentials to his cowboy identity.
Who Is Dale Brisby's Wife?
Macy Jennings Hopping studied at Texas A&M University, where she and Clint reportedly met during their college years. She has two siblings, Calley Jean Fenoglio and John Jennings. Known for keeping an extremely low public profile, she largely avoids media appearances and public scrutiny.
She does, however, model jewellery and artwork for her sister's brand, Jumpin J. Ranch Designs, and her social media suggests involvement with the family's farm operations. The couple have not publicly confirmed whether they have children, consistent with their broader approach to privacy.
Rise to Fame and the Netflix Show
Dale Brisby's fame grew organically through social media. He began posting comedic ranch videos as early as 2013, blending genuine rodeo action with self-deprecating humour and larger-than-life cowboy antics under his Rodeo Time brand.
His Netflix docuseries, How to Be a Cowboy, premiered on 1 September 2021 and was co-executive produced by Hopping himself. The six-episode series follows Brisby training a new generation of cowboys at Radiator Ranch Cattle Company in Winnebago, Texas, covering riding, roping, and the broader business of ranch life. His brother Tate Hopping ("Leroy Gibbons") features prominently alongside other real ranch hands, lending the show authentic family dynamics that critics and fans praised. As of 2026, Netflix has not confirmed a second season, though fan demand remains vocal online.
Rodeo Ejection and Net Worth
In early 2023, Dale Brisby documented being ejected from the San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo in a YouTube video titled "Dale gets KICKED OUT of San Antonio Rodeo - Rodeo Time 327." The video became one of his most-viewed pieces of content. He later posted on Facebook: "Kicked me out of San Antonio… AGAIN!"
The recurring ejections appear rooted in his showmanship and persona clashing with venue regulations, rather than any formal professional ban from the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA).
No official public report about his net worth has been published by any authoritative source. Estimates from some entertainment articles such as The Cinemaholic value him at around $1 million. His income flows from multiple sources: ranch management at Radiator Ranch Cattle Company, professional rodeo prize money, brand merchandise through Rodeo Time Inc., YouTube advertising revenue, podcast income, and his Netflix deal.
