We dive into his announcing legacy, the launch of BobTallman.com, his passion for high-quality beef, and how storytelling is still his greatest gift.

5x NFR bronc rider Rusty Wright and breakaway roper Haley Sage were not lying when they said they would tell it all. This episode is downright real, raw, emotional, and inspiring as we sit down during a summer stop in Fallon, Nevada.

But this one’s not about the arena stats—it’s about the people behind the buckles.

Rusty opens up about the valleys he's walked through—the loss, the drinking, the divorce, the self-doubt—and what it really took to climb out. He shares how the Cowboy Channel documentary Hell and Back came to be, why he almost didn’t do it, and the healing that came from letting the world see behind the curtain.

Haley brings her own fire, too. She talks about rebuilding her life brick by brick, loving Rusty for who he is—not what he’s won—and how their relationship taught her to see the good, even in the challenges. Together, they talk about real friendship, mental health in rodeo, and learning to love yourself—before the gold buckle.

This episode is a masterclass in mindset, love, and letting go of performance-based worth. It’s not just for rodeo fans—it’s for anyone trying to get back in the saddle when life knocks you flat.

Cheyanne McCartney is no stranger to pressure—but when it comes to the Old West Rope Horse Futurity, she’s not just showing up to compete, she’s showing up to shape the future.

From NFR breakaway roper to standout futurity competitor, Cheyanne has lived both sides of the rope. In this episode, she gives us the real-deal look at how the Old West is setting a new standard—from massive payouts and open eligibility to a horse sale with a million-dollar twist that has the whole industry buzzing.

What stands out most? Cheyanne’s belief in the process. The commitment she and her husband Cody have poured into training young horses, building confidence, and doing it the right way—not just for a win, but for longevity. This isn’t about burning out a 4-year-old. It’s about building great ones that last.

Whether you’re a pro looking for your next winner, a parent figuring out where to invest, or a breeder dreaming of the big leagues—this one’s a masterclass. Cheyanne breaks down what makes the Old West different, how to get started, and why she believes this futurity is just getting started.

You’ll walk away with a better understanding of the rope horse world—and even more respect for the people working hard behind the scenes to elevate it.
