Kolton Schmidt from Barrhead, Alberta has made the NFR twice on the head side, and right now he’s chasing down his third qualification with just a few weeks left in the 2025 season. We talk about the horsepower it takes to win, finding the right partner, and how time on the road has taught him to lean into his strengths instead of worrying about what everyone else is doing.

We also get into why team roping still isn’t in Calgary, what rodeos Kolton has left this year, and what his path looks like if he’s going to punch that ticket to Vegas one more time.
