This week on The Show, we’re joined by team roping standout Joseph Harrison. Over the course of his career, Joseph has competed on some of rodeo’s biggest stages, including six NFR qualifications and a win at The American Rodeo. He has built a reputation for skill, consistency, and a deep respect for the sport. More recently, he’s turned his focus to the futurity world, developing young rope horses and shaping the next generation of competitors.

In this episode, Joseph shares how he first got started in roping, what it was like spending a decade working for Bobby Lewis, and the lessons that shaped both his riding and his approach to horses. He also reflects on the evolution of the team roping industry and offers insight into life on the rodeo road versus life training futurity horses—from long miles in the truck to long hours in the arena.

The conversation also touches on the similarities and differences between the roping and reining industries, giving listeners a behind-the-scenes perspective on what it takes to succeed in both arenas.

With plenty of laughs, honest stories, and practical insight, this episode offers a thoughtful look at what it takes to build a lasting career in the rope horse world.

Thanks for joining us, Joseph! We really appreciate you sharing your story.
