The mission is simple: to share ranch horse knowledge, roping techniques, and horsemanship skills directly with you—on your schedule. You will have access to practical advice while listening to engaging stories, often featuring insights from legendary figures like the Dorrance brothers, Ray Hunt, and lots of real cowboys with a lot of know- how. Ty and Ronda bring real cowboy experiences from the Great Basin, shaped by both failures and triumphs—horse wrecks, lessons learned, and everything that comes with ranch life among the sagebrush and barbed wire. You will get easy and definitive roping tips and useful horse training.

You’ll also gain valuable mindset insights—like how to become more patient with your horse, how to recover from training mistakes, and how to manage frustration without taking it out on your horse..

Ty brings a lifetime of experience raising, riding, and selling quality American Quarter Horses. His solid foundation in horsemanship applies across disciplines. Whether you’re starting colts, showing reined cow horses, roping in the arena or on the ranch, or participating in vaquero-style competitions, Ty’s deep knowledge offers something for everyone. Best of all, his ability to break complex concepts into manageable steps helps you make steady progress without feeling overwhelmed.

Each short, focused episode offers a nugget of real-world wisdom. It’s like sitting in a weathered tack room, surrounded by old bits, saddles, and gear, listening to the stories and insight from cowboys as they swap talk.

You’ll also find encouragement in the Cowboy Church Corner episodes, where faith and real-life experience meet. Alongside the practical horse advice, you’ll hear raw and honest conversations about life’s unpredictability—stories of personal loss, business setbacks, the heartache of losing good horses, and the challenges of working together as husband and wife. These moments remind us that life’s trials always offer something in return: growth, conviction, and clarity.

If you’re open to faith-based perspectives and ready to discover fresh ways to grow as a horseman, don’t miss out. Laugh, learn, and be inspired by some top hands in today’s ranch horse world.
