In this episode of The Almosta Cowboy Podcast, Al Dunning is joined by Non-Pro world champion, 2L Trucks founder, and storyteller Waylon Long for a wide-open conversation about a life shaped by horses, hard work, and a few wild turns. Waylon traces his Texas beginnings—4-H clinics, first cuttings, and the "yellow mare" that launched a five-year tear—through wins at Fort Worth, Washington International, and Congress on the way to a Non-Pro world title.
Al and Waylon dig into horsemanship that lasts: why great runs start with feel and timing, how "it's more about your hands than the bit," and the lessons the good ones teach you when you listen. They also get practical—reading cattle, building consistency, and balancing family, customers, and the road.
From arenas to the highway, Waylon shares the origin of 2L Trucks—designing safe, dialed-in tow rigs for real horse people—and what matters when you're choosing the right setup. Then it's pens to pages: the Four Counties books, a nod from Larry McMurtry, and a new classic Western in the works.
If you love cutting, craftsmanship, and true cowboy stories, this one's for you.
