We had the opportunity to talk to Dr. Devan Catalano, Director of Nutrition for Woody’s Horse Nutrition and it was such a great, easy to listen to and learn from type of conversation. With it being breeding season we wanted to talk to someone who really knows the ins and outs of providing your mares and foals the very best nutrition to help them grow to their genetic potential.

We had a great conversation with Heidi Uecker-Schmidt, the Vice President of the WPRA. We discussed all things WPRA - how to join, permits vs cards, how to enter rodeos, rules to know, limited rodeos and WHY they are limited, explaining the Tours and more! We hope this podcast gives everyone, from permit holders to seasoned veterans a little more insight on how the WPRA works. #wpra

Were back! And with a great episode featuring this years OKC $75,000 slot race champion Tricia Aldridge! A construction engineer who got her college degree then went back to training barrel horses - she talks about her journey from fixing problem horses to training 3 year olds and everything in between. Fun fact - she doesn’t have an arena. She hauls to ride or rides in cow fields - and if that doesn’t prove you can accomplish your goals with enough dedication i don’t know what will! #redhotrunninghorses
With the dominance displayed in the rodeo this past week by a daughter of PC Frenchmans Hayday – we decided to go to the start of this dynasty and talk with Tigh and Breelyn Cowan of T4 Quarter Horses – and the home of Sun Frost. Tigh's dad, Pat Cowan, is responsible for this yellow stallion who undeniably helped create a tougher, more gritty and fast breed of barrel horse and equine athlete. We discussed the history from the start – how a trio of full brothers to Sun Frost (Running Gun, Pick Pocket and Frostwood Roan) led to the search for Sun Frost to keep a stallion; how he started his competitive career as a cutting horse at the high school rodeos as a two year old; the day a sucker rod through his gaskin almost ended his life as a 3yo and what led to the sale of PC Frenchmans Hayday and the legacy that move has created. We touched on the different type of reputation some think about when you mention Sun Frost but also how once you understand that their uncanny intelligence and ability to think fast while moving their feet you realize how special they are. This was a fun one!
