One of the best headers to ever come out of Canada, and for sure one of the more mentally analytical people we’ve ever sat down with on the podcast. Truly an episode that I enjoyed getting to be a part of, and learn from.

The two “steering wheel holders” behind the WRWC and two completely opposite personalities I had a blast getting to know them both. And I won’t lie, I’m actually excited to hear where they see the whole women’s rodeo movement going. They talked about their plans, and we talked a lot about the culture surrounding it all.

Truly a master class in the business of Mexican steers, to the team roping cattle for the NFR since 2017, to the famous Teague Texas wild cow milking. My old friend from all the way back in the CTYRA days, Bobby Joe Hill.
