The Rundown - April 30th, 2024

When we asked our listeners what story you wanted us to dive into next - many, many of you asked to hear more about RC Back In Black and her time with Jane Melby. In this conversation you will learn how Jane's background led her to knowing that "Beauty" was the horse to take her to the very highest level and about their short, but impressive career together. RC Back In Black went from winning the reserve championship at Pendleton to 3 NFR round wins. Now, RC Back In Black is one of the most prolific broodmares in the history of our sport. From how her foals are to ride to how Jane chooses stallions for Beauty and more - we covered it all.  We hope you enjoy!

The Rundown - April 22nd, 2024

When you saw a big gray gelding and a bright colored shirt with fringe fly into the arena in the early 2000's, you knew you were about to witness a great run. Kelly Kaminski and Rockem Sockem Go captivated the rodeo world in the early 2000's winning 2 straight Reserve World Championships, followed up by back to back World Champion titles. We had the opportunity to talk to Kelly and really hear the story of Rocky and how their partnership started with a $500 broodmare purchase and ending as one of the most legendary duos in rodeo history. Kelly has continued to make an impact on our industry long after Rocky's running days, creating her KK Run for Vegas Youth Championships, training colts, and traveling with her daughter Kenna.
