Cheyanne McCartney is no stranger to pressure—but when it comes to the Old West Rope Horse Futurity, she’s not just showing up to compete, she’s showing up to shape the future.

From NFR breakaway roper to standout futurity competitor, Cheyanne has lived both sides of the rope. In this episode, she gives us the real-deal look at how the Old West is setting a new standard—from massive payouts and open eligibility to a horse sale with a million-dollar twist that has the whole industry buzzing.

What stands out most? Cheyanne’s belief in the process. The commitment she and her husband Cody have poured into training young horses, building confidence, and doing it the right way—not just for a win, but for longevity. This isn’t about burning out a 4-year-old. It’s about building great ones that last.

Whether you’re a pro looking for your next winner, a parent figuring out where to invest, or a breeder dreaming of the big leagues—this one’s a masterclass. Cheyanne breaks down what makes the Old West different, how to get started, and why she believes this futurity is just getting started.

You’ll walk away with a better understanding of the rope horse world—and even more respect for the people working hard behind the scenes to elevate it.
