We’re rewinding to one of our all-time favorite conversations with the legend himself—Bob Tallman.

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.

Emmry Edwards, the 15-year-old phenom who went head-to-head with rodeo’s elite in the breakaway roping at the 2025 Women’s Rodeo World Championship—and left with $6,000, a whole lot of grit, and a story to tell.

From a last-chance qualifier to the biggest stage in the sport, Emmry’s journey to AT&T Stadium wasn’t exactly mapped out—but it was earned. With a bold 2.0-second run in the short round, she proved she wasn’t there just to show up—she was there to win. While the barrier kept her from the $60K, her presence in that box was anything but small.

Emmry talks about her roots in rodeo, including her mom’s legacy and the Something Special Breakaway Roping series that helped shape her love for the sport. She walks us through her road to AT&T, her mindset backing into the box behind two 1.8-second runs, and how she stayed calm, collected, and focused on her job.

We also talk about her recent momentum-building win at the Junior Patriot, splitting a $50,000 bonus after a 1.9-second run—and how she’s preparing to climb divisions and dominate in the challenger class in 2026.

This episode is for the young guns, the dreamers with their rope in hand and eyes on the prize, and every girl who’s ever wondered if she’s too young or too new to make her mark.

Because Emmry’s story is proof that all it takes is one run, one moment, and a whole lot of heart to change everything.

Tammy Lewis and Ashtyn Pratz, the duo who stunned the arena and left AT&T Stadium with $64,000 as the 2025 WRWC Team Roping Champions.

At just 16 years old, Ashton roped like she was born for the big stage—calm, confident, and completely unfazed by the pressure. This wasn't her first WRWC buckle, but it was her first time on the heading side. After switching ends and navigating a tough season, she found her stride with Tammy—and together, they put down a run that brought the crowd to its feet.

Tammy Lewis is no stranger to the winner’s circle. A veteran in the women’s rodeo world, she’s been roping since before opportunities like this even existed. From winning breakaway and heeling titles in the early 2000s to jackpotting across the country, Tammy’s story is built on grit, consistency, and a love for the game. This time, it all came together in a one-header for $60K—and she made it count.

We talked about the pressure in the box, the tough steers in the short round, and the roar of the crowd that shook AT&T Stadium. And yes, we covered the fun stuff too—like Ashton’s dream of becoming a tuna fishing captain and Tammy’s world-class skill of changing a flat tire in under five minutes. (Seriously.)

This conversation is for every woman who’s juggled dreams with real life, who’s had to reinvent herself mid-season, or who’s just waiting for her moment in the spotlight. Because whether you're 16 or 60, pro or challenger, there's a place for you in the winner’s circle.

Pull up a seat, listen in, and get inspired by Tammy and Ashton—because they didn’t just win a check, they proved that opportunity meets preparation in the most unforgettable ways.

Taycie Matthews, the barrel racer who showed up to the 2025 Women’s Rodeo World Championship with grit, instinct, and a whole lot of horsepower—and walked away with $70,000 and a gold buckle.

We’re talking about a jaw-dropping 12.6-second run at AT&T Stadium from a cowgirl who didn’t nominate a ton, didn’t overthink it, and still left no doubt she came to win. Her standout mare Pop Rocks didn’t just clock a winning time—she owned that arena, walking out like she knew the crown was already hers.

Taycie opens up about the road that brought her there—from balancing long days working full-time on her family’s sweet potato farm to squeezing in jackpot runs when she can. We talked about life outside the spotlight, what financial independence looks like for a young champ (hint: she’s already saving for retirement), and how she stays grounded and gritty while chasing down big dreams.

This conversation is for every rider figuring it out as they go, for every girl wondering if she’s doing enough, and for anyone who needs a reminder that heart and hustle beat a perfect plan every time.

So pull up a seat and get inspired—because Taycie’s story is proof that doing it your way can still lead to the winner’s circle.

Charmaine Holdren, the limited barrel racer who made one of the most electric runs of the 2025 Women’s Rodeo World Championship. We’re talking about the first 12-second run on the board at AT&T Stadium, from a gal with less than $3,000 won in the Limited Barrel Racing at the WRWC in 2025 on her horse Trick before the finals.

Charmaine opens up about the journey that brought her and Trick—whose name literally means His Way is Perkfect—to that arena. From elbow injuries that nearly ended her career to losing every saddle she owned, and rediscovering her purpose through faith, grit, and obedience, Charmaine’s story is living proof that God doesn’t waste the hard parts.

We talked about what it meant to take red paint and mark Trick’s hip with Psalm 18:30, how it felt when the crowd roared as her name hit the leaderboard, and why letting God into your decisions—your training, your horse program, your entire life—changes everything. This conversation is for every rider who’s doubted themselves, every woman dreaming from the back pens, and anyone who believes their story isn’t big enough.

Spoiler alert: it absolutely is.

So pull up a seat, and get ready to be encouraged—because Charmaine’s testimony is one that’s lighting the way for so many of us. Listen in, be reminded that you’re never too far gone, and keep showing up.
