Hosts Doug Simcox and two-time North American Rodeo Commission Saddle Bronc Champion Sam Swearingen sit down at Rawhide Ranch to swap stories, compare coaching notes, and map the road ahead for Beyond the Chutes. They talk about healing up, working cattle, road trips to Mountain Cove and St-Tite, racing at Watkins Glen, mentoring young bronc riders, and welcoming BTC’s first sponsored cowgirl — 13-year-old Aubrey Wulf. It’s a relaxed, funny, wide-ranging conversation that shows the friendship behind the microphones and reminds us why these stories matter.#BeyondTheChutes #BTCcowgirl #AubreyWulf #BreakawayRoping #CowgirlUp #RitaTheHorse #RodeoLife #WomenInRodeo #OnTheRoadAgain #RodeoFamily #TheseStoriesMatter #InOurRoots #RodeoStrong

#155 Kylee Ferguson: Three-Stop International Youth Rodeo Challenge

Welcome to Beyond the Chutes, a Rodeo podcast where hosts Doug Simcox and Sam Swearingen dive deep into the heart of the Western and Rodeo culture. Join us as we explore the full spectrum of rodeo life, from the adrenaline-pumping action at the bucking chutes to the precision and skill of the timed event chute. Our conversations extend to those who make the rodeo world turn: competitors, committee members, stock contractors, judges, secretaries, and the vibrant personalities of contract acts, entertainers, and announcers. Together, we uncover their unique stories, experiences, and the unforgettable places their rodeo journeys have taken them.
