Jay Wadhams is a hired gun, a jack of all trades, and a businessman. The NFR heeler and BFI Champ from Pueblo, Colorado, has made his name in the AQHA show-horse game, most recently winning the senior heeling on the stallion Smart Nu Shiner in 2017.His famous partnership with his cousin JD Yates has built a dynasty of great horses, and now he’s expanding even farther to build the American Rope Horse Futurity Association and its World Championships—coming up this October 16 through 18 in Fort Worth, Texas.Casually called the Rope Horse Futurity, the event adds at least $100,000 and pays a $25,000 check to the winning 4 to 6-year-old on each end. It’s got a 4-year-old incentive and an incentive division for lower-numbered ropers, as well as a non-pro held Saturday, October 19.The event is a must-see, and I hope this interview tells you why.

It’s been some 10 years since Cottonwood, California’s Justin Davis rode into the box at the Thomas & Mack with Blaine Linaweaver.But in that decade, Davis has made two iconic horses—both mares, not too coincidentally—in Lil Kim and Shakira. He’s won the Columbia River Circuit Finals a couple times, and he’s been on the brink of an NFR trip more than once—to no avail. So at 31 years old, Davis is smashing down his hat on a career in sales, while seasoning the next great mare to come through his horse program. He and long-time friend Brandon Beers are circuit rodeoing and amateur rodeoing when both men’s thriving business careers allow, and they’re both using their long-time industry connections to help them excel. Davis stopped to talk with us between visits to feed yards and ranches, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed by the conversation. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Travis Tryan’s ProRodeo Hall of Fame Head Horse Walt—registered with the AQHA as Precious Speck—was a four-time AQHA/PRCA Head Horse of the Year, in 2003 and then from 2007 to 2009.The horse was iconic for a whole lot more than his signature fluffy forelock and always-forward ears, and he shaped the careers of both Travis and Clay Tryan. Travis was just a kid trying to make it on the rodeo road when he got Walt, but on him he quickly became the youngest team roper to accrue over $1 million in earnings.Walt is the first rope horse in the ProRodeo Hall of Fame, inducted in 2015—a little over five years after he died warming up for slack in Clovis, California.Walt’s story underscores how critical great horses are in rodeo, and how fleeting their time on Earth really is.

Million-dollar cowboy Rhen Richard, of Roosevelt, Utah, is an all-around hand who last year qualified for his first Wrangler National Finals Rodeo in the heading with Quinn Kesler and in the tie-down roping. Richard, who was the Resistol Rookie of the Year on the heel side in 2008, grew up in Utah playing sports and team roping. His focus has been on the all-around since an early age, and in 2018 he came oh-so-close to a gold buckle thanks to strong performances in both the heading and tie-down roping at the Finals. On this week’s episode of The Score, Richard talks about that Finals and his motivation going forward.His great horses have been a huge part of his success, and Richard also discusses how he likes them to perform and how he keeps them healthy.
