Show Notes
The rope horse world is about to get another financial boost.
In this episode, host Chelsea Shaffer is joined by Melanie Smith, founder of Solo Select, and Clay Logan, event producer, to unpack the brand-new Solo Select Stallion Incentive Futurity — launching with a jaw-dropping $465,000 payout in its inaugural year.
They cover everything you need to know before entries close on September 21:
- How to enter — with or without a breeding
- Why stallion owners stepped up in a big way
- What makes this event different from every other
- The judging format, cattle selection, and short-round clean-slate setup
- Why this isn’t just an elite event — it’s built to lift the whole industry
Whether you’re already entered or just roping curious, this episode breaks it all down before the gates open in Hamilton, Texas, October 1–2.
