Welcome back for another episode of The Show! This week Tom, Joe, and Gunny sit down with NRHA 2 Million Dollar Rider, Cade McCutcheon, to break down Cade’s experience at The American Performance Horseman.  Cade showed “Finals Bound” owned by Burnett Ranches and they had a great run together as one of their first times in the showpen.  We’re excited to talk about what Cade felt as a rider for all of the different moments of the event, the impact Teton Ridge had on The American Rodeo, and some of our thoughts on the production. We’ll also dive into how the nerves of such a big event can affect your ride, and maybe a sneak peak of Tom’s tabletop dancing skills…  We’d like to extend a huge thank you to everyone at Teton Ridge for making this event possible. The American has made such a great impact on the Western Performance Horse industry, and we are grateful for such a cool event to showcase what we do. Cade also sends a big thank you to Taylor Sheridan and 6666 Ranch for the opportunity to show the incredible Finals Bound.
