Fresh off Team Australia’s big summer—highlighted by Cade Ferguson’s IFYR Saddle Bronc title—Kylee Ferguson joins BTC with the inside story on the new International Youth Rodeo Challenge spanning Mount Isa, Richmond, and Townsville. We cover team sizes, horse “buddy” rotation to keep things fair, community support, sponsors, media buzz, and how riders from the USA, New Zealand, and Australia made it happen. Plus: how to get involved for 2026 and where the team’s headed next. Because these stories matter.
