Ep. 87 - Peyton Bennight; Yeti's Rodeo Specialist

Peyton Bennight has a long history and passion for the western industries of rodeo and ranching - being raised in a sale barn and living on a cattle ranch will do that. Always on the move and working hard, Peyton takes us through her career post college at Texas A&M University, covering her background as an animal husbandry expert for monkeys, teaching agriculture at her high school alma mater, and then becoming the rodeo specialist for YETI. Her passion for horses, cattle, rodeo and ranching all comes through in this fun conversation full of laughs and good stories!

Ep. 56 - National Finals Rodeo Pre-Show 2020

It’s been a crazy year for pro rodeo and, like most fans, we are so excited that the committees and associations were able to work together to produce the 2020 National Finals Rodeo. With that being said, things look a little bit different! A new state (Texas), a new arena (Globe Life Field, home of the Texas Rangers MLB team), new faces and, as our co-hosts put it, “Some weird numbers” - the 2020 season is going to finish with a lot of excitement.

Breaking down all things NFR 2020 kick off is co-hosts Katie Schrock and Rachel Owens-Sarno!
