In this episode, we’re joined by two proud Western Australians with deep roots in the rodeo scene. Travis—an exceptional horseman, skilled farrier, and my neighbor—shares his insights from starting his journey in Australia, then coming to America to college rodeo, and eventually starting a family that is making a name for itself in our industry. Jo, along with her husband, run Double Barrel Entertainment, the leading producer of rodeos in Western Australia. We dive into the unique culture of Australian rodeo, where a 14-hour drive is just part of the lifestyle, and explore their mission to grow and elevate the sport to match the scale seen in the U.S.
