Welcome to our second episode on our deep dive into all things ground related. We had a great conversation with the man, the myth, and the legend of ground himself - Randy Spraggins. Randy has helped turn arenas around to record setting conditions like Salt Lake City and Cheyenne, he has prepared some of the biggest events like The American and the NFR, and recently just managed the Pink Buckle ground which was incredible this last week. We dove into rodeo preparation and the challenges committees need to overcome and we hope you learn from this episode like we did on everything that has to be thought of to get conditions to the best they can be.

As the fall sales kick off we wanted to do a deep dive into the horse market and thought there was no better person to discuss it with than Danyelle Campbell. We talked about everything - pricing, deciding value, preparation for sales, auctions vs public sales, marketing stallions, purchasing embryos, you name it!   This conversation is packed with knowledge from someone who has been there and done that in our industry and we are excited to share it with all of our listeners!

This week, we are starting a deep dive on the most important thing a barrel racer needs to be successful in competition - great ground. In the first of hopefully a trio of episodes with some of the most knowledgeable tractor men in the game we had the opportunity to talk to Jake Van of the Wilderness circuit and Blackhawk Arena of Salina, UT on his thoughts behind what it takes to make an arena the best it can be. Ground is much more complicated than simply running a tractor over a patch of dirt as you will hear in this episode. We hope you share this with all your barrel racing friends - knowledge is key to success with any barrel racing ground! This weeks episode is brought you by the REM Mask from Xpert Equine

A few weeks back, at the Royal Crown Horse Sale - Kayla spent the evening with one of everyone's favorite trainers, Ashley Schafer, just discussing, well, everything. Ashley is one of our most requested guests and we thought this would be a fun episode with her. From payouts to ground conditions, exhibitions and mental strength, thoughts on incentives and social media madness and more. They had an idea to do it again but this time hit the record button for our podcast. DISCLAIMER - This episode is opinion based and is more like sitting around a table with two friends discussing industry topics. Hopefully you enjoy and if you disagree that's perfectly fine - we aren't saying anyone is right or wrong, we are just discussing our thoughts.
