What does it mean to build a life with horses – both inside the rodeo arena and at home?

On this episode of Beyond the Barn, host Katy Starr chats with Mitch Pollock, NFR saddle bronc rider, rancher, and Backyard Bash producer, for an honest conversation about horsemanship, mindset, and the values that shape life beyond competition, including:

• How his very first saddle bronc ride landed him on the College of Southern Idaho (CSI) rodeo team
• Why mindset and horsemanship matter just as much as physical ability
• The hard truth about rodeo careers that most riders don’t want to talk about and how he’s planning ahead

Whether you’re a rodeo fan, horse owner, or someone who values the Western way of life, this episode offers meaningful insight into what it looks like to live with purpose.
