We have had many listeners request a Rodeo 101 podcast - so here you go! We had the chance to talk to Jimmie Tew right after her win at Tucson to talk about all things rodeoing.

These are all questions our listeners have asked and we hope you enjoy some real insight to the rodeo road! Jimmie is an NFR qualifier and former Rookie of the Year and Kayla is a Mountain States Circuit Finalist who also won Rookie of the Year for her circuit so you get two different insights to rodeoing - whether you want to go for the NFR or if you just want to make your circuit finals! We hope you enjoy!

A few months ago we asked what questions our listeners wanted answered about colt starting and fundamentals and this episode answers all your questions and more! We had the opportunity to talk to Miles Baker, a true horsemen who trains some of the most elite performance horses in the western industry. Miles is known for his ability to put a solid confident foundation on colts that sets them up for success for the rest of their career, taking them from their first day under saddle to the futurity and pro rodeo levels. He has impacted the career of thousands of horses and his experience and knowledge shared in this episode can help any program out there! You may even want to listen to this twice.

Terri Wood Gates is a fierce competitor from the Wilderness Circuit and has been winning consistently her whole life. With 27 circuit qualifications under her belt and countless futurity and derby wins, Terri truly knows how to make consistent and confident winners year after year. She has overcome hurdles and time away from the competition arena and we got to talk about it all with her during her downtime at the Royal Crown. We have been looking forward to this episode since the start of our podcasts and glad we finally got it done - we hope you enjoy it as well!

Paul Humphrey is a well established horseman who has spent his career focusing on the horsemanship side of training barrel horses. He spent nearly a decade barrel racing in Italy and is a 10x European barrel racing champion - and then returned to the US with a goal of sharing his education. Nowadays he puts on close to 30 clinics a year always with the same goal - to help riders focus more on the horsemanship aspect of training and getting their horses truly ready to perform. This was a great conversation and about as in depth in the training side as we have gotten - we hope you enjoy!

Kelly Allen might not be a name everyone knows already, but we fully believe you should. Kelly has trained countless winners and is giving her great horse Cinco her shot at the big time this year and we can't wait to cheer them on! We got the chance to record this podcast in person during the Denver Stock Show and talked about every topic - the highs and lows, the mental game, having a "real" job outside of rodeo, medications, you name it we talked about it. Kelly and Cinco just tied to win Rapid City this past weekend so be on the lookout for this duo to win big over the rest of the winter rodeos - hopefully on their way to their first NFR qualification!

This weeks episode is with our good friend Carley Cervi. Carley came up through the ranks of youth rodeo and is known for being a true horsewoman who can make consistent winners time and time again. Her career kicked off with her favorite grey gelding, Radio and their wins spanned over a decade including two trips to the NFR. Her calm, consistent yet competitive manner has produced winner after winner,  starting from the futurity world and helping them graduate to the highest level at the pro rodeos. There is a lot to learn from Carley in this episode and we hope you enjoy it!

To kick off this year we had a great conversation with Robin Glenn and Lainie Whitmire to discuss the Barrel Racing Industry Alliance. BRIA is an alliance between the top associations in our industry who developed a unified system whose goal is to collect accurate results from events that will become the gold standard for pedigree and performance records. Qualifying races will be graded similar to the racing industry and will help breeders, owners and buyers easily understand the caliber of the horse and its sire and dam. This episode is full of insight on how our industry is continuing to evolve and improve and if you have any questions after you listen - let us know!

As the ten days came to an end and the dust settled, Shelley Morgan and "Kiss" had completed 10 clean runs at the Thomas and Mack and were crowned the 2022 Average Champion. We got the chance to talk to Shelley shortly after and were really able to dig into those ten days! We hope you enjoy!

Hailey Kinsel claims her fifth round win of 2022 and the 2022 Barrel Racing World Championship after Round 10. Hailey and Sister ran a 13.35.
