True grit, busted limbs, longhorns worth six figures—and one horse who checked into the Holiday Inn. Only at Kickback Ranch.

In this unforgettable episode of Beyond the Chutes, host Doug Simcox heads to Jerry and Mindy’s Kickback Ranch in Raymer, Alabama, for one of the most heartfelt and hilarious rodeo reunions in the South. Listen in as rodeo legends, livestock pros, and cowboy storytellers share raw, real-life tales from decades in the arena.

From Jimmy Jones recounting bareback wrecks and his rise to Longhorn Breeder Hall of Famer, to Janet Watley reflecting on a life rich in rodeo royalty and family tradition, this episode overflows with authenticity and charm.

Also featured: 13-year-old up-and-comer Cutter Christy, unforgettable tales from Randy Murphy and George Denmark, and a roundup of the Legends of Rodeo awards presentation. This gathering of cowboys and cowgirls isn't just about the past—it’s a celebration of the spirit that keeps rodeo alive today.
