Ep 41 - Top 10 Moments of the Podcast, Part 2

The Cutting Edge sits down with heavy hitters, up-and-comers, haulers, lopers and everything in-between to bring you stories from the arena floor. We are going to keep you up-to-date on happenings in the industry, results from major events and what’s going on in the race to the NCHA world finals.

Sports

On Episode 63 of the Cutting Edge Podcast we wrap up another incredible year in the cutting community, highlighting the champions of the NCHA Metallic Cat Futurity and the NCHA Teton Ridge World Finals. 

Then we catch up with Elaine Jackson from Galatia Illionois, who alongside her husband, Rick Jackson, run a successful full time training operation that includes training, lessons, sales and events within cutting and sorting. As you’ll hear in Elaine’s interview, it was on her bucket list to haul and this year she did it in a big way with her horse, Midnight Blu, finishing third in the world in the 5,000 Novice Horse Non Pro, leaving the year with $27,072.75. Elaine is also a show secretary within the NCHA, and this interview has a few great tips if you are planning on hauling next year. Of course, Elaine also fills us in on her journey and shares how dreams really can come true. My favourite type of interview!

& with Episode 63 the Cutting Edge Podcast comes to the end for 2021. I can't wait to chat with you all "next year". Thanks for another wonderful year of listening, sharing and supporting the journey on Western Twist Media and the Cutting Edge Podcast.

Ep 63 - Haulin' With Elaine Jackson

On Episode 62 we celebrate the start of the 2021 Teton Ridge NCHA World Finals! 

Kicking us off is an interview with Kaylee Thompson who is entering the 15,000 Amateur in third place. Kaylee approached me because she wanted to share her story, and her bond with her special mare Nu Id Be Special, aka Nibs. It's a wonderful interview with an engaging young competitor and I know you'll enjoy it.

Then, I ramble through all 150 NCHA World Finalists and attempt to bring some levity to me butchering 90% of their names.

Ep. 61 - From Cow Horses to Real Estate with Sara Kalke

On Episode 60, I am joined with Paige Callaway, creator and designer of Pursue Victory and Paige 1912. 

What I loved about this conversation is that the listeners get to join Paige Callaway and I for a chat at my kitchen table. As great kitchen chats tend go, we talk about a little bit of everything. Pursue Victory and Paige 1912 are staples in my closet and obviously we discuss her amazing brands which are manufactured right in Canada, what Paige considers timeless vs. trendy and what's in the future for both brands. Plus she sheds some light on some upcoming product drops. 

We also discuss horsemanship, business, coaching, social media, the rise of breakaway roping, collaborations with brands, women that inspire us, and somehow... more?! It's a really great conversation with an inspiring woman in our industry that is seeing tremendous growth within her business and blazing her own trail while she does it - I know you'll enjoy it.
